Sounds like pretty good mileage to me! All your boost junkie post make me jealous So, double horsepwoer as well? Guessing or dyno proven? Hey, if it just feels doubled that's good enough for most When you said it runs cooler, did you mean you got the intercooler installed?

EDIT: BTW Robert, I sent you guys an email before I even started this thread Was just wondering if you guys check your mail anymore
when did you send the email? i didnt get it... send it again...

nah, my intake temps definately aren't cooler "yet" but my coolant and oil temps are down. which rotaries loooove. oh and my theory of double horsepower comes from me beating my friends 386rwhp 240sx with a skyline motor. yea, i'd say i'm making more than 110rwhp intercooler should be in before this weekend, i've been busy relocating the battery and redoing some exhaust welds. after the intercooler, i'm adding an msd box, new accell coils (msd coils are junk), and maybe a couple more lbs of boost. after that its a little more weight reduction (as of now i still have full stereo, amp, sub, stock interior and almost always a passenger when i'm racing) and some air ducting/venting. i'm just going to warn you. IT'S AN ADDICTION.

Yeah, I might want to slap myself, 'cause I'm already getting real excited, and my project is about 2 months from completion. Just waiting on money for parts Did you install some kind of aftermarket water pump and/or oil cooler, or are the lower temps due to higher octane? Oh and, on beating that 240.... Awesome.... Just so everyone is on the same page, what compression and psi are you running? Stock comp with 11 psi right?

completely stock 12a, untouched. 12psi stock old TII turbocharger. i thought it was 14psi but my damn gauge is forked up, always reads 2psi higher or 2/3 hg lower. and so far i've been running it w/out the i/c. but today has been the day for that and i'm almost done. then it's time to take it back on the highway and see how she does
