while on the subject, how do the hoosier full slicks compare to the mt et streets?

my plans for the car are as follows decent spool time and 425rwhp on pump gas 500rwhp on e85 525rwhp on race gas here is how i plan to reach those goals..... Right now in my possesion is stg 3 action clutch (6 puck 2800 lb pressure plate) rsr gtII exhaust aem uego wideband 4"...

My name is Jorgen Gilbertson, and I've been modding my car for about a year and a half now. I've skipped a lot of steps as far as modding goes simply because I'm not going bolt-on turbo, and then ss autochrome manifold and blah blah blah. I've simply been accumulateing parts this entire time...

exactly my point. everything adds up, and ESPECIALLY when that weight is slung directly by the crank. looseing sprung weight like that pays dividends for responce.

i love all the custom fabrications going on guys. really inspiring! keep it up, i got my eye on this thread

plz explain

i never stated that the eagles were worth buying over the pauters or crowers because of weight. however, its another small avenue to be explored while searching for the best suited pieces to build your particular engine with.

mrsupra: do you happen to have any pics of the lower intercooler piping meeting the turbo. maybe being able to see the kit before i start trying to assemble it will save me some time. thanks in advance Jorgen

beautiful work guys. im not in the market for 8000 horsepower, but when i am, ill give you guys a look ;)

NICE

this makes me wonder....... the big diesel trucks don't always run bov's, and when they do the tractor pulls and let off, you can hear massive amounts of compressor surge. how do those turbos not explode when they are pushing 60+ pounds of boost????

a tell tale sign of blown turbo seals is, boost let off, and then boost again. if it puffs out a nice cloud of blue smoke, chances are you have blown seals.

it wouldn't nessesarily show up on the dyno, but then again a lightweight flywheel, or a one piece driveshaft doesn't really either. it just changes the engines personality. wouldn't you agree with that ij. i know you aren't one to cut corners and every bit counts. 100 grams off the rods...

interesting, i just ordered my catch can.... so thank you all who contributed, and if any of you object to the drawing above, please speak up now, cause that makes sense to me!

then you get to deal with the constant buzzing.... buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

100 grams directly connected to the crank (if that is indeed the difference in weight) is mulitiplied several times due to being weight that is being flung around by the crank. loseing weight connected to the crank is the easiest way to attain a racecar like snappy-ness and responce...... just...

heft turns me off too......

this thought came to me as I was sitting in bed trying to fall asleep last night.... why has no company ever tried to place an injector, or two, or three, or four in the exhaust houseing that sprays onto the turbine at low rpms to get it to spool? not a gas injector, but an air injector, so...

there is a local dsm running (que drum roll) 30 psi on pump gas w/out meth. I kid you not. he ran an 11.1 in steet form. kinda cool i thought.

haha, no kidding. if eagles can hold 843 whp, then they can easily hold my 500
