    XS Power Aeromotive FPR copy

    i know there were issues with some of the wastegates sticking. i might be a bit concerned about that. i spose you could polish it all on the inside, or whatever the fix was for the wg. granted, the fpr wont see the kind of heat the wg does. not sure what to say about the fittings. those...

    Ky Suprameet??!!

    yep, they do them around louisville too. the only problem with autox is its an all day event. and if you race, you have to work the track when your class isnt running.

    Which Rims for DragRacing?????

    27" will work w/ eibach springs. its real close tho, but still doable. jag- 26x10.5x16. full on slick you will need one step lower on the width (slick is measured tread width, not section width)

    Ky Suprameet??!!

    well i'll officially cast a vote for a spring time indy meet. then we can have the fall meets here. how does that sound? i do like a change of scenery, and potential for others that live a little further away to make one or both. im just excited i made 2 meets in a row with my car. i...

    KY meet dyno

    could you post your sheet? i only glanced at it on the monitor. also, as many runs as you did back to back i should have said something. that many runs that close together it was probably starting to heat soak and be down on power. how much boost were you running anyway?

    Finished engine bay .....Pics....

    looks cool. i see you went "IJ chrome" with it. i thought people were starting to go away from using the diverter valves? let me know how it works for you.

    Ky Suprameet??!!

    boosted- ok i remember you now. i spoke to you briefly. as far as the closed door on the dyno, that took me by surprise too. tony had said he didnt want people inside the dyno because of safety reasons. usually he allows it, but for like a couple people. he was afraid of 20+ people they...

    SAFE:: MAF Cleaner

    correct. those are for hot wire sensors, not kv sensors. only thing ive ever heard of working on ours (and only used as a last resort to clean dead electronics) was negative film cleaner.

    boosted- which guy are you? i tried to talk to everyone there, and maybe i did talk you but not putting the face and screen name together.

    KY meet dyno

    nathan- sorry to hear you arent happy. i helped best i could getting a good reading. the torque is measured based on rpm signal. since they were having a problem with the pickup, thats why your torque was all screwed up. he didnt charge you for any of the runs that werent a clean...

    New Dyno #'s

    the hp and torque dont cross at 5250rpm because the hp and torque are on a different scale. as far as the actual rpm numbers, your tach could be off. the dyno uses a pickup right off the plug wire.

    good video matt! it wasnt 1080i resolution, but the quality looked almost on purpose. kinda had that grainy underground feel to it. one suggestion tho. the music was fine. its actually nice to have a video that isnt techno or linkin park. but you need to coordinate the music a little...

    pics look great so far! glad everyone seemed to have a good time. tony and larry were so quick getting cars in and out i should have planned something afterwards. we still had a few hours to spare before it got dark. maybe for next time i'll set up a fun run in the area. would be a good...

    with a good tune 20psi usually 500rw range. ive seen anywhere from 460-540rw with 18-22psi. ive even seen over 600rw with it, but on a 2j (higher than 20psi tho). with the pt61 on my car i did a baseline and made 360rw at 10.5psi untuned. i wanted to see what it would do at higher boost...

    i'll detail your sti if you get the oil off my concrete! i went out this morning and it looks like the aftermath of texas chainsaw massacre. good thing we sprayed degreaser and jason hosed it off or it would be much worse. glad you guys made it home tho. albeit one on a trailer.

    the 4088 is bigger than the pt61 or the pt63. its a 64.5mm inducer and 88mm exducer. the turbine wheel is bigger than a p trim as well. it doesnt spool as fast as the 61/63 but it will make more power. for good spool and 650+rw capable, the best deal is the pt67bb. its a steal at $1120...

    gt4082 and gt4088 are very different in size. the 4088 is much larger. and yes, the 4082 has a v-band outlet on the compressor. the 4088 is a standard slip fit. you may consider the pt61 like gilberjj was running. it is real similar to a gt35r, just not ball bearing. those are a good...

    just got home from the meet. had a good time! was nice to meet some new people from the area. had about 25-30 people come, 15-17 cars, and 11 people dyno'd. armyastro won high hp with his 1j single turbo sc300. zurud and sturbo87 both made near 400rw on ct upgrades. hope everyone had...

    its nearly 3am, just now coming in from the garage. good news is everything is together! let it warm up, and no leaks (knock on wood). i tried to burp it but it didnt do a whole lot. dont know if it didnt have any air in it, or it didnt burp good. couldnt do much this late at night. the...
