oh by the way, Gotham Racing go and kick some *** especially the supras!

 

each setup is different.

lots of factors effect spool

exhaust/ports/intake/tuning........etc

 

We just got here and thought I would post. We spend the past 21hrs driving from texas to Ca (riverside). Tomorrow is the photoshoot on some twisty road. After the photoshoot, we plan to tune the car on race gas to get ready for the dyno thursday. I still need to play around with the suspension to setup the way I like. Anybody in Riverside knows a big empty parking lot where I can do some skidpad testing without getting into trouble?

 

wow...that must be one hell of the trip. hm...i'll try my best to make it for the event. damn, i'm still stuck here in virginia.

 

I see, which one is better T78 or T-66, lots of people were bitching about T78 because their spool is slower for the lower end torque.

 

You can make substantial changes to spool and flow characteristics of any stand alone turbos cheaply by just swapping out different AR ratio exhaust housings. Tighter housing will give you faster response(spool) but worse high end flow(more backpressure). Buy a turbo that's appropriate to the your HP goal at a specific pressure and then mess around with exhaust housings to get the drivability you're looking for.

Back to the thread topic, again good luck Steve & Co.

My goal is to make 500HP to the wheels with 20B engine FD, my cousin and me have made a lot of research on it but it seems that it's going to be tough that's why right now my cousin and me are finding out more info. Basically the car will be sponsored by a friend of ours which is a mechanic that owns a motorsport in las vegas. Well from what i find out is u need to have a biggel fuel injector, fuel pump, apex power FC bigger turbo housing and turbo diameter upgraded ECU, rebuild motor upgraded 3MM apex seals, bigger throttle body for quick response at lower end torque, engine gasket, udpgraded LSD transmission, rotor housing, upgraded flywheel to a lighter one something like 9.0 lb. pulley kit form unaorthodox.But with all this is going to boost around 400 to 420 HP on a 15 PSI. Try to make a 500HP on 15 PSI. any suggestion? we're not in the hurry to do it as we're going to take our time to learn it especially when it comes about engine.

 

Let's leave this thread to be discussing Gotham's car/street car challenge, not a dream.

 

Where is this event being held at? And when again June 2nd -4th? DAmn why during work days!

 

pics!!!!

the time draws near...can't wait to see how you all do.

good luck steve!

You CALI guys need to get a hold of Steve and help him out while they are out there!

 

The issue where this car owns all will be the first issue of SCC I've bought in a long time! Good Luck guys!

 

i'll be there to attend the race.

 

Max are you going out to see this?

Im jealous if u are. That is going to be a great scene.

The guys will do great.

lol...that's what you get when u volunteer yourself to go around the states to make the research, man...you'll miss all the fun!

 

today begins the challenge!

good luck to all of the Gotham crew

we are all patiently standing by to hear the results

 

Exactly.
Best of luck to Gotham in the challenge. I truly hope the FD brings home the crown as it would be nice for bragging rights and bench racing

 

GOOD luck to Gotham Crew!

my cousin is driving to Riverside now.

 

to attend the race.

 

man!!!!!!!!!! i wanna see but I am damn work! got to pay for car parts someway..... i guess work is the way to do it, damn 7-4 jobs!

 

lol...yeah me too, need to find money to support the car and i did not even have time to find a gf. damn...i wander how's my cousin doing there?

going to call him tonight for the updates.

 

drumroll.......................................... .................................................. ..................................

 

do they finish the race yet?

 

GO GOTHAM! I'm estimating a strong all around finish, and possibly a best at the track. If I went to the USCC I could care less about the gas/grandma tests so long as I won everything involving performance.

 

How long is the event? One day thing?
