stoked to put down 467whp! definitely could have pulled more out of it but kept the timing fairly conservative...

no, just went with vp110 for now... it's what I know and I didn't want to try anything new just yet...

Right on. Im getting on the dyno tomorrow to go over my high boost tune and maybe up it a few psi. Sitting at 450 at 16.5psi. Probably gonna see what we can do around 18psi. Numbers should probably be very similar to yours. EXCITE.

soooo.... what did it make?


I love how there's a bunch of good looking FC's popping up...

dk's car is looking sharp, buckey's should be tuned soon, lex's is in the works... Rad Dan is gonna be back soon... just need to get Dan Chilton to the west coast and keep this movement going.. haha

Cant wait for rad dan to be back in the mix
That dude wins at everything. Such a funny guy

Was just at Dan's shop. He'll be sliding this Sunday at our event. His car's looking good as usual.

Joked around with him at how many Hot Line stickers he has around the shop/on his car.

That RE torque band, liking this!

:nod:

Doooood... Those wheels.

Congrats on the sexy numbers. What turbo are you running, how many PSI, and whats the sizing on the hot/cold side? im really digging this build and am super nosey because i wanna get some ideas what im gonna be pushing. Thanks man

I'm running a Borg Warner turbo.. here's the specs:

S300 – 177274

0.55 A/R CC

3.140” (80mm) CW diameter

2.305” (58.547mm) CW inducer

3.000” (76mm) S&W diameter

2.659” (67.539mm) S&W exducer

0.83 A/R TH

hit 467whp at around 1.3-1.4 bar

I love drift cars that can run 10s...because im a hillbilly

I totally checked a et calculator to see what it could run after I got done with the dyno.. 10.8's... :nod:

When are you going to run E85? I would like to see the dyno comparison and HP difference

Now paint it hotline green already dude !

So its from a John Deere with an 8.1L 6071h engine. Cant find the rest. Care to share a little more please?

got the meshies mounted up...

Yes

damn that lca is nuts

Very nice

Meshies are on point. 18's?

when we tried them on ryan's car it seemed to have some issues with how much we extended them.. however the last two times out with a different length and kingpin angle it's been feeling good.. this setup that I'm working on isn't for sale yet and won't be until I feel it's a competitive setup therefore I'm trying to make sure any bugs are worked out (if i find any) before I would offer these to the public. O, and I thought you'd never go v8.. just sayin.. haha :wink2:

no mention but they are slightly extended. however I'm retaining the stock ball joint piece for ease of replacement if necessary... unlike some other kits out there.

thanks man.. 17x10.5-12 18x12.5+5 :cool:

Are those DG5's? :drool1:

Getting ready for ASB reverse entry comp :nod:
Always an inspiration.

O course they are dg's

You've have me sold. Very interested

Where'd you pick up the SSR's? I remember a guy running those in 9/10's on his blue FC in the bay area

traded my equip 01's for them from a guy in ATL

Im looking to extend my flca's also. Did you do any kind of reinforcement? Doesn't seem like you can go with the box method with these and they seem somewhat weak if you modify them.

congrats.

Well JTP i think your an inspiration for me to build my car. Here it is. Im 18 and i wanna build my car with aspects from yours. It may look like your original car. It will be hard with the money aspect but i will try.Good luck with your build its awesome http://images.craigslist.org/00v0v_3...xg_600x450.jpg

dude i thought Dave's old rear end was legit??? new parts are always good

I am actually very excited to see your thoughts and reviews on the PSM rear end setup. I was planning on picking up everything for the rear and your front end kit.

let us know how you like it/hate it !!!

it's definitely legit.. however the PSM kit is considerably less for the same components.. the current rear end has the entire awr setup along with lightened trailing arms etc.. however I'm going to be working with PSM testing their dtts kit along with other trailing arm bearings...

I'll definitely do a review after I get everything installed etc.. I'm not sure if I'll get it all done before I head out to florida tonight, but I'll make sure to update as it gets done..

I plan on lightening the trailing arms like the previous setup as well therefore it's going to be taking a little more time than a typical install... I'm going to be keeping the old setup complete as a full spare setup.. or for a future project maybe..

I saw the video of that FC with the 1jz it was nice seeing you in a FC did he have that hole rear set up?? Is that what made you want to get psm parts for your FC??

yeah it was weird hearing a different engine in the car but it drove really nice... that setup only had around 230whp or so... so i'm looking forward to feeling it out with 460whp..

what tire size do you have or plan on running on the 12.5 J's?? Im getting ready to get some 285's or so for mine and would like to see what it looks like first.

whats the offset as well, and your rear fenders are 60mm???

i'm running 265/35/18 615K's stretch is pretty aggressive but I like how it looks

offset is +5

my fenders fit like true 50mm but can be flexed to about 70mm

you still make knuckles for rx8's jtp? hit me up with tie rods and knuckle help if you got time.

any chance you could take a picture from under the car looking up at the front suspension? with wheels straight and full lock?

What side skirts are you running on this car.

I actually only helped make the knuckles for the bergenholtz rx8... and it's been so long i kinda forgot what we took off and final placement on them..

bn sport skirts
