pm'd!

 

Wish I could get some of that love. Hell I live in a place were rotary orgy's are non existent.

 

dont feel left out, if i ever stop through texas, we can have an orgy too!

 

a lil update.. one of the RP fuel pump was completely dead and i was running on 1 pump.. ouch!
i just got installing a new set of Bosh 044 pumps and should be good to go .

on another note my 2nd tranny has gone kaboom and i need a solution to this problem.. i was looking at the t56 swap or maybe just build a fd dog box.. what do you guys think? my clutch is also gone.. i need a better clutch that can take the abuse i put my car through.. twin disk? give me some idea guys..

 

I just turfed my RE Amemiya twin plate carbon and installed the OS Giken triple plate, good to a thousand horse they say. I went through 3 trannies in a very short time 2 within 2 days..lol..I've ordered a couple of items ,

1) bell housing adaptor
2) tailshaft extension housing

This way I can run a beefed up R154 out of a Supra with a few Marlin Crawler pieces. OS Giken does have an upgrade for the FD trans supposedly good for 800whp(according to the rep) but the R154 is a superior trans to begin with. I'm putting 750whp through a stock R154 in my Supra no probs. It'll be easier in the FD as it weighs 800lbs less.
I'm also considering adding twin 044's inline aswell as the twins in my tank.

Note: If you are considering going with a dog box I do have a guys emaill address who is selling a GForce built T56 with a twin plate Mcleod clutch and all the PNP stuff you'll need to install, ds, trans mount and such, then you'll be bullit proof till you get back to the rear diff..hth

 

It must be that time of the year for fuel pumps to go out. One of mine died also so the car is back at Kilo to fix the fuel pump and for a few other small items

Maybe we can both go to the dyno in a few weeks. Heard you had a rough go of it on your last trip.

 

Kilo told me that one of your pumps took a dump on you.. must be that time of the year..

its been a bad week for me..i ripped my bumper off my car going down my drive way and i was having problems at the dyno. i ran out of plugs and the car wouldnt put down any more power.. sigh!
but this week every should be fine

 

Yep, 20 psi of fuel pressure was my first clue something was wrong. Should be 40. Rethinking the whole way my fuel pumps work - they are wired directly to the battery for full voltage but of course they then run on max the whole time. I'd like to get them to run at minimum at idle and then at full power when needed so we shall see. Jesus thinks he can control this through the Microtech. Would also help with alternator voltage at idle too.

Sorry about the bumper and the troubles at the dyno. You'll get it sorted out and will make some good power then.

 

that might explain why i never saw you this past week.. sorry to hear about your problems, but i'm sure it'll work out!

 

If you can deal with the noise of a dog box do it? If not, a t56 is your best bet...

 

this is what it looked like

 

ouch.

 

Savage. Doesn't look too bad tho.

 

Hurry it up already, I'm sick of looking at this broken FD!

 

?? Is the car ok??

 

ya.. i fixed the bumper and i'm re doing my manifold and relocating the turbo and going with a dual wastegate setup and a few other things

 

Ahhh good news then. Need that monster out there reppin and doing us all proud..lol..

 

That sounds like a good setup. Should help you with your high end boost and the power you want to make. Have you considered the Synapse wastegates? They flow like mothers (the 50mm is = to a 60mm) and two of them would do very well on your car. You could even use the smaller 40mm units for your app. They are also non-diaphram units:

I have one 50mm unit on my car and it works great. I control it with my Greddy boost controller. FYI - the cost is also great on these so it is pretty much a no-brainer. Heard about them from a drag racer in CA. Able I think? Great guy.

 

^^ i've heard mixed results about synapse wastegates.. I really would like to know if they are as good as they can be hyped up to be, because they have a lot of benefits including cost...

 

WOW... my eyes hurt for such awesomeness! You have one nice car sir!

 

i've heard those sypnase can be APITA .. im going to stick with the tials 44mm.

thank you jmax

 

Mixed results? None that I know of. They have to be hooked up slightly different than a regular wastegate and they have multiple options for base spring pressure so maybe this is what you speak of.

 

PITA? Easy to use, smaller frame, better pre-boost build up and they control boost better because they don't have a rubber diaphragm like the others (which can go bad over time). Plus they cost about 60% of what you will pay for the Tials so it was a non brainer for me.

The part that is "difficult" for most is how you hook them up to the boost controller. They have an extra "nipple" that has to be hooked up but that is about it. Kilo had a difficult time figuring it out but I came down and hooked it up And if I can do it, anyone can!

Regardless, two 44mm Tials will definitely help to control boost for you as you go for 800+ HP.

Here is a pic of Abel Ibarra's 6 sec 20B drag car. He runs two Synapse wastegates and he is the guy that spoke to me about Synapse and how good the product is:

 

uggh im trying to check them out but the website keeps giving me an error. When are you coming down dave?

 

I think I read they were migrating to a new server and it's definitely messed up right now. Here is a good article about the technology:

You could also call them to discuss: 858.457.1700

I'd like to think I will be down this weekend but I have asked Jesus to see if his upholstery guy can redo my car. It might just be my seats (tan redo) or maybe going all black with the carpet replaced in black and anything tan plastic dyed to match. If this happens, it will probably be a few weeks.

I keep going back and forth with keeping it tan retro or with updating to an all black stealth look.
