Scale BHG's now ;)!

GJ: I took it a step further and use NA blocks so no squirters! GTE Pump>NA Block> Remote Adaptor>Remote Filter>B&M Thermostat>B&M Oil cooler>T piece>Moroso Accumulator>Remote Adaptor.

Mine ;) 18/8 and 18/9 HR109's 255/35 285/35

Chev: Good point Brian! All of this octane is useless if you don't really need it as even the best fuel isn't going to "add power". Where Hi Octane fuels come into their own is resistance to detonation so unless you're running a bunch of Compression or Boost or both it's just costing you $$$

Jester: This might help you visualise just how small the CT is stock :)! Direct comparison GT3540R to a CT26. 35 ..comp wheel 2.41/3.22 CT26 ...comp wheel 1.75/2.50

Maybe twin 42's would make Chris happy :)! <jk>

Lagged: Thanks :)!

If it's tight enough that it rounded with a wrench I can't see you moving it with a screwdriver! If you have an old screwdriver or a blunt chisel you can put this on a corner and tap it with a hammer and break it loose. The bolt is the black bit and the screwdriver in red!

GJ: Thanks I've never looked at a CT setup on a car closely!

He can run but he can't hide ;)!

Spent some time in the UK when I was younger so I understand the not so warm weather ;)! Pass on the adaptor!! It will take time and as you're finiding when you get above the 500ish hp level EVERYTHING is a factor and you can't cut corners! (Speed costs! how fast do you want to go?) I...

Hmmmm still not so sure on the traction! I had a Crower injected 427 BBChev way back when and had no chance hooking it up with 295/50/15's! @ 100 KPH in drive it would light the rears at will and I doubt it was making much over 600 at the wheels! Going to be real interesting anyway...

LOL I repeat "traction is going to be a problem" ;) Can't think of road tires that will even go close to hooking 1000 hp up! Slicks at the strip should do the job and at your goals I think it's going to be close with the Rolla if he launches hard! I'm really looking forard to more of...

Sorry to say sounds like a BHG :(

LMAO whoo hoooo :D! Traction is going to be a HUGE issue!

It's going to be a juggling act to get the 42 in there being RHD! I'd even consider a forward mount so it sits out where the stock airbox was. Not sure how much weight can be removed but 1250 seems awefully light for a Mk3! (Think mines closer to 1750 ;) ) If you can get it to 1250 and...

I was looking at mine yesterday when I got the front off and if you moved the washer bottle to the hatch you build a nice air box in there then run a piece of 5" silicone down from the turbo in.....

TSM: Just went straight to the AP's as that was always the plan! I actually considered making my own Hats for 2 piece rotors but the handbrake was going to be a PITA to get right so bailed and used the Mk4 TT's glad now I did as they're of the shelf parts if I ever need to replace them!

LOL the oiling system is the one place I'd spend as much time on as needed now as it's about the only real achillies heel in the 7M (apart from the HG)! I also run a Moroso 3qt accumulator T'd into the main line into the oil gallery (just in case) I still crak up each time I see the...

GJ: (or anyone that may know) Have you ever ran the car on a dyno and watched how far the actuator opens at 17psi? (Just interested how far it needs to open to control the turbine speed) Only "issue" I can see with this sort of mod is if you get the gate shimmed so far the spring coil binds...
