edit: a mod can change the title to something more fitting, ie Update thread, or gallery, or whatever you want! didnt think it would cause a problem

guitar hero rules! you must not be into guitar then... Ive been playing for a while and I love the game...

I know its not a build thread, more of a predecessor to a possible build that should be taking place soon.

call it "GotTurbos? Update thread" if you wish lol

I know someone selling a1000 pumps. One used, one remanufactured. Good prices too!

Put down the ps controller and work on your car...

so do I... infact any 7m person that doesnt know of this person should probably leave the forums!

but Im trying to get aem purchased first, then move on to fuel components.
and im going to try and buy another supra here real soon, so all this might have to wait a bit!

Jon

p.s. Im playing the real guitar now, havent played guitar hero in a few hours!
(currently playing/listening to canon rock by jerry c)

Haha, I am enjoying this thread already, but wtf is that thing on your intake pipe?
Click to expand...

ugh I dont want to talk about it :(

that is the reason I never run hi boost, and why I have two boost controllers.... Ill explain:

The previous owner decided it would be a good idea to cheat past the afm so here we go with the design plan!

that thing is actually a throttle body, controlled by a boost controller and wastegate actuator, once I hit a cerain amount of boost, it will open up, allowing more air in than the afm sees, in turn allowing me to run more boost, but it is unfiltered, unmetered air (not safe at all) so... I run low boost all the time so that thing stays shut.

notice how aem is at the top of my list, which will get rid of all of that mess!

hope you understand all of that, if you dont then just let me know and ill see if I can help you out more lol

Jon

edit: I have to give him credit where its due, the car was able to make 537rwhp using a lex afm, which is pretty rare

currently playing/listening to "paint it black" by the rolling stones

Ok...





The 7m is long gone, 2j is sitting in the garage, hopefully getting put together this weekend, car is going to body shop and getting everything (interior, cage, engine bay, exterior) painted black with blue pearl. I'll keep the specifics out of this until I've made more progress.

Its about time you updated this thread. Keep them coming! I meet you at the import race event when titan was in ennis. I was talking to you, ben, and zack. Sorry I forgot your name though. You and ben convinced me to go jz. So I'm not going to tx2k8, but I will be jz by the end of march. So it evens out! Lol
