I'll only be driving around with 10psi, maybe 15...I'll only push the 20-25psi when its at a road course/drag strip.
As for the driving school...I really hope that driftdays comes to the east coast by the time the build is all said and done or I can find a nice huge parking lot in Raleigh...
It really isn't about the horsepower. While HP and TQ definitely play BIG roles in what is going on with the build, I put more emphasis on factors such as reliability, functional and controllable mid-high range TQ, and driveability/comfort. I guess my goal really is trying to get the mk3 to...
It'll be my commuter car haha j/k. I'm the purchasing manager and webmaster/online sales for a national distribution company(www.sun-beltusa.com), I do alright for only being 23 years old.
All of your posts make me even more impatient haha. It's what I wanted to do as soon as I drove it for the first time and with this much positive feed back how can i not come though. I'd be doing a disservice to the supramania community.
Oil pressure still dropping and now 2 months on a leaking head gasket...looks like the project has to be put on hold a bit longer but rest assured she'll be ready. I hate being such an impatient person especially when money = patience haha. Wish me luck.
By the way...What do you guys think of...
Finally got around to starting a build thread for my engine that started the planning stage a couple months back. The engine builder is William at Exclusive Tuning here in Raleigh, NC. Some of the prices are estimates and some are firm. Any feedback, whether positive or negative is...
By track I meant drag strip...idk why I said track, stupid mistake made at work during lunch........anyway like I said before I'll start a build thread once I get all the specs organized. I just wanted to post something so the guy that made the thread has some more information to reference...
I'll post my 7M twin build information soon once I get it all organized. Just a little taste....
Just the engine setup...
over bored .0334 aprox
custom pistons
custom rods
custom cams ~8500 max rpm
custom ITB front facing intake manifold
custom exhaust everything setup
dry sump oil system...
I'll hold out and wait for speedsource's kit. I actually put some t-bolt clamps on the 3000/tb and got a lot of improvement in running condition. I think I'm just going to replace everything with t-bolt clamps and silicone couplers where possible.
I'm in dire need of a replacement for the lower ic hoses. I'd prefer a cooleeze type kit but I'd settle for new rubber hoses. Anybody know where I can get either of these.
My car is running rougher than a sandpaper condom fyi.
Replace all the intercooler piping if you've got all stock stuff. Replace all clamps with t-bolt clamps, those shitty stock clamps can't torque for shit.
I'm throwing a little under 10k at a completely custom built twin turbo 7M within the next year and it will still be my daily driver/drift car:naughty:...gas prices are gonna affect me, but the fact that I'm moving within 5-10 miles to work should compensate for the increasing gas prices...My...
