LOL......You'd be surprised how barron I-70 is on Sundays......Seriously though, if I run that kind of boost, it'll be on the dyno.

And John, what are you talking about?

Ernie everything looks like it was installed very carefully

Can you explain how you ran that 10 gauge (guessing) into the tank for the fuel pumps?

fuel lines

Ernie, I am in the process of building my fuel system now, I am using a Porsche TT pump to a surge using -6 lines (from and to surge tank), from there, it's -8/A1000/-10/ SX Filter/-8 to rails in parrallel/-6(2) to FPR/-8 return to surge tank.


I already have a -6 return in place, but was concerned it might be too small. (2) -6(feed) is only slightly larger than a -8, so do you think I can keep the -6 return to the surge, or should I go -8? Thanks, Carl Byck

The exhaust housing was honed out?

Have you tried this before? Did it help spooling it up?

You quoted the answer to your question. Maybe you should read a little closer.

Sounds like your going all out. For my setup the -6 is fine, but every seup is different. Sounds like your road racing?

SurgeMonster,
I really don't remember. Demetrios did all the wiring. I'll ask him.

Ernie,

Can you get me a pic of the throttle setup for you car. I am in the process of trying to fab something up and am getting confused.

So you are using the stock greddy manifold from the T88 Kit for the RX7. But you are using a T88H turbo... Is that correct. I got that same intake as you( the Jaytech) and I need to find a manifold that will clear the intake, as the previous one did not.

Neither did the T88 manifold. It had to be modified.
