I had to shave the larger 2 of the 4 spider gears in order for the phantom grip to fit properly.

Posi-trac. Looks good.

Your car looks great, could imagine the money & time you got into it. Cool Ford dissy set up too.

no more 1 tire fire!!!! lol!
thank's for the compliment's, I really appreciate them it makes it all seem worth it.

there is not alote of people that post in the forced induction forum, so i can see how you missed it.

yup all it is is that little box with some hard ass springs. the steering is alittle weird, it feels normal when you are at a stop but on a roll the steering wants to stay centered. Imagine if you'r alighment is off. the car wants to pull right or left. now the steering doesnt want to want to turn it wants to stay straight.

this is going to be a whole new learning expierance!:cheers:

manual trannys arent as bad as it may seem,if you read back afew post's i was alittle intimidated myself. the hardest part is figuring out what the hell they are talking about in the haynes manual.

the tranny i wouldn't mess with is an automatic.

I looked at the axle last night and the part with the splines,and houses the bearings at the tranny shattered. I love lifetime warranties.

i'll let you guy's know what else i find on the pg. so far i like it.
it's pretty nice to actually see what's inside the trans, the only other pic's on the site are on picopop's build thread. i am glad to add a few to the board.

well gentelman, saturday night the 3g had to be towed home. I am alittle frustrated and my wife is pissed. So i wont be fixing the car right away. the lsd had nothing to do with it so don't sweat that. reverse and 5th gear wont engage, it was the worse thing i have ever felt. Somthing in the tranny litterally bombed, it seemed like the front of the car even lifted.
Here's the story:

me and some friends were chasing down some colbalt's and neons to pull a race. i was balls to the wall in 3rd gear climbing this big ass hill in full boost and bam no more acceleration nothing just reving. i was like wtf! the trans wouldent go into any gear.
so i coast into a parking lot jump out and look under the car for oil pouring out and nothing.shut the car off cycle through the gears 1 2 3 4 are ok but rev and 5th are fucked up.so i decide to drive the car home and before we can leave somthing explodes under the hood.
i thought the batt or somthing exploded that shit was loud. the fucking top rad hose blew, Damb i was pissed!

for peace of mind the tranny has to get tore down again.
on a good note that clutch and flywheel made a huge differance.
i was keeping up quite well with my friends 480 horse and 600+ horse mustangs.

oh man that sucks!

what were your water temps (do you have gauge?) 5th gear is not uncommon to lose from what I understand. When my wife had a 3g she lost 5th while cruising 75mph on the freeway and when she pulled over she stopped, everything seemed ok in 1-4 while 'stopped' so she tried to move again, the tranny got stuck in either 1st or 2nd, and would never disengage. :( fun stuff. not sure what happened, but it was pretty scary according to her. :)

also goldyaccord experienced something like that while doing a hard 1-2 shift, the trans just LOCKED, and he skidded 30ft to a halt, and had to get the car towed away lol.

yup our trannys dont like alot of power or being mistreated. i remember when i put 5-30 semi synthetic oil 5th gear overheated. and it got stuck in 5th gear....but now i put some honda MTF and my 5th gear works now....i like cheap fixes but right now im doing a whole tranny rebuild.

yea guy's the flywheel makes a big differance, it seems like i didn't have to downshift as much climbing hill's.

i still havent done anything to the car as of yet, i need a break.lol

bullard i think this trans is done. i have one left and it needs a syncro kit.
anyone know where i can get one?

i had a nice little chat with JohnnyO on trannys and he said he was running a stock tranny and never had any problems.

i took some time yesterday and fixed the tranny.
i was amazed when i draind the oil, there were hardly any metal shavings in it.
the weired part is that when i pulled the trans apart i didn't see any thing wrong with it. well except for 5th gear was alittle chewed next to the syncro.
after an hour of trying to figure out why it would not shift into rev. i decided that somthing in the shift mechinism was tweeked. i pulled the assembly out of the spare trans, and installed it, slid the case on and it was golden.
all the gears shifted with ease.
i put the trans back together and reinstalled it, road test time.
she ran beutiful.

I was a little worried since this happened RIGHT after the install of the PG. I sure wish I knew enough about transmissions to install that PG and modify the gears so that it all works.

i wasn't really that worried about the PG, what i mean is if it was the PG it wouldn't move at all.
it's not that hard to install. you need to mic the gears to make sure you are taking the same amount of material off of both gears.
If you arent comfortible take it to a machine shop and have them shave the gears, or even install the pg in the diff for you.

edit: if you can build an engine you can tear down a manual tranny.

Agreed.


Dont even need any special tools. Just have to make sure everything gets put together corectly. Now if it was an auto tranny that might be problematic. lol

as far as goals go i am looking for 400 hp. or a 11 sec 1/4mile run with some relibility for street use. I dont know if it is a realistic goal or not but that's what i would like to end up with.

Here's my comment. I'm having a little trouble seeing what I want to see with the pics, but If you have the radius arms connected to the lca's like stock, you're going to have a problem with the setup on the front of the bars. If you picture how that whole assy moves, it moves on the axis of a line drawn through the lca's inner bushing and the forward pivot point. Not on the axis you have the ends set up with. The radius arm's pivot location should be in line with the pivot axis on the lca..nowhere close to how you have it. Want further clarification? Go look at any car with A arms.
Just picture the radius arm and the lca as one big solid piece, now see what I mean?
What you have might work, but the bushing will be twisted from side to side as the suspension moves.

i fully understand what your saying! I have to admit i have not put a lot of thought into the axis point just yet. i have been consumed with how it would attach from the threaded portion of the bar to the cross bar.
at this point nothing is set in stone, i haven't made the steel plates to attach the extensions yet and the extensions are not welded in place.

Thats a lot of room :) so why did you choose the round tube over the square tube for construction?
i should have gone with square tube,but when i decided to jump into this i already had the round tube.
i gained a huge amount of room. I wish i held off with the manifold now!lol...

Wow..I just spent like 15 minutes wondering out loud writing a post, and then it all clicked in place..Finally! So then I erased the whole thing.
Here's what I was trying to figure out, why do traction bar setups use 2 rod ends, one on each end of the rod? This is counterproductive to the stiffness/rigidity of the whole assembly, by allowing the lca to pivot on the axis of that inner rod end, effectively prying the lca to subframe bushing back and forth as the ball joint end of the lca moves slightly back and forth. To do this with the oem radius rod, it would have to flex that rod right there at the mounting point.
So why do they use those 2 rod ends?
Basically, because with a longer radius arm, the angle of that arm must decrease, to preserve the original lca swivel axis. So instead of making the arm mount onto the lca at a different fixed angle, they just use rod ends. Half assed in my book, I'd much rather mount the front of the rod to the cross bar, set the caster, and then final tighten the mounting bolts on the rod to the the lca at whatever angle it ends up. So what have you done to address this? It loks like you just threaded the oem rod into an extension? So are the bolt holes in that oem rod big enough to allow you to adjust it to get the right angle on it, or what were you going to do?
I know almost exactly how I would build this whole thing now, from how I would replace the oem radius rods completely with tubular steel, to what bushings I would use on the front, (I hate rod ends) but I probably won't do it. I'll probably just use harder bushings with my oem rods..
And when you're all done with this, how much turning radius reduction will you have, will your tires hit the rods before full steering lock? Most people encounter this.

So are the bolt holes in that oem rod big enough to allow you to adjust it to get the right angle on it, or what were you going to do?
the extension would be welded to the existing rod bolt the long one and retain the og lock nut witch would give me adjustably for caster and it would give me the ability to set the bushing-to-crossbar at what ever angle is best.
my thoughts on that were to articulate the whole Assembly using a jack watching the rod end to find the best pivot point/Axis point on the cross bar.at this point tack the mounts.
then setting the car on the ground to get the weight on it. lets call that that the neutral position(np).

now i can set the caster while in the np leaving the lock nut loose so the extensions can swivel/turn, adding the nut and bolt to the cross bar mount.
doing it this way will prevent unloading/pre-loading the bushing.
the bushing will be it a neutral state giving you 1*-2* torsional movement in either direction depending on how hard the bushing is.
when every thing is all said and done the rigidity of the assembly will probably double that of stock.

does that make sense or I'm i wrong in my thinking?

turning radius will retained as stock....
if i redesigned the rad arm and changed the angle then i would have problems with turning radius and go through bushings like no tomorrow.
i may be wrong.
when you launch your tires want to toe out so you really want to match the pull angle for the most effective strength witch the stock rods already do.

a better representation of on the market traction bars to me are simply "a brace"

with what i am doing a torsion bar comes to mind.
what do you think?

Accordtheory
02-12-2008, 03:37 PM
I'll try to summarize this quickly..without referencing anything I've written, If you extend the radius arm, the angle of that arm, referenced to the lca, Must change. (This is what compromises the turning radius) This is to preserve the original swivel axis of the the lower supension. The new front swivel point needs to be inline with the old swivel point, side/side/up/down. You can Not extend the arm and just move the swivel point inward, that alters your suspension geometry. Just measure the distance from your "framerail" sideways to the center of the oem radius bushing location, and preserve that, so no matter how far forward you move it, your new front radius arm swivel axis will be lined up. Make sense? Moving the arm with a jack won't really tell you shit.
Here's another way to picture it. All you're doing with the traction bar setup is making an a arm wider. It still needs to pivot on the same axis.

Accordtheory
02-12-2008, 03:41 PM
Picture a giant a arm being like 10 feet wide. (10 feet along the length of the car, not the width) No matter how wide you make the arm, the bushings still need to be in line with, on the same axis with where the old bushings were, get it?

well guys i went to the strip today and made 2 runs. I'd rather not post times or slip's.
first run the car had massive wheel hop with the slicks so i had to get out of it then back on it. i get another 50 feet and the f**king intecooler pipe blew off. ooh well i can get a few more runs in anyway.

2nd run she launches great and pulling hard i notice the car is smoking,i am thinking f**k it if she blows she blows. i just pass the 1/8th and the hood fly's open at 75 mph+/- wtf... am i still going straight, wheres the wall sob....luckaly the hood rips right off the hinge on the driver side and i have a pocket on the left bottom of the windshield i can see out of. i pull up to get my ticket and the kid said woh are you OK and just stood there. i started laughing and said uh ya give me my ticket so i can load it up.
the turbo is blowing oil now and it is time for a rebuild, and there is a slight knock on the bottom end. the sun roof glass is gone and the frame for the sun roof is pushed down from the hood hitting it.

I am tired. i need to do some soul searching to figure out my next step.

pic's later.

That will definitely ruin a day at the track. Can't wait to see what you do next.
dam i want to try a gt35r but that 62 -1 is capable of 72lbs a minute or around 1000 cfm... it will cost me around 250 - 350 bucks to rebuild. i guess that would be better than 1100-1300 for the gt35r.

I think the glass has got to go for safety sake. i am going to look into a carbon fiber filler or just sheet metal it. I'll leave the motors and all but do some sort of filler.

the engine probably needs to be pulled and replace the rod and main bearings and i might re-ring it as well.

another thing on the agenda is to go back to a Honda dizzy and go with a Neptune setup.

for some stupid Reason the car wouldn't idle unless it was fat on fuel(at the strip). I am also thinking of going with 65mm Honda TB vs the mustang 70mm TB .
it just sucks that i couldn't get a full run in.

opinions are more than welcome.

Woe Jerry this sucks man..........I hope you get everything fixed up. Let me know if i can help you out

i am just being hard on my self bro, i am getting tired of pulling the engine and pulling the tranny, but if i want to play i have to pay. Right.

its just more body work,paint and about $700 in other parts.

I'll let you know if i need a hand. thanks!

SIDE NOTE:
The Phantom grip works like a dream!
the car launched straight pulled straight and i have no complaints.
i did an oil change before i went to the track and had no signs of metal shavings.:cheers:

Since your looking into Neptune you should also check out Ectune. I went over what neptune can do and ectune does all of the same things and is priced pretty much the same for the Pro version.

this is a pre 90 dist so it uses a tfi module to control a hall effect sensor.here is a link to kinda explain what i have.
do you think it could be to be controlled by a Neptune or Ectune? i may do some more research.

Had to go back and read through the thread, but now I see what you have. EECIV is a distributor setup and I was thinking it was all electronic. I was confused on why you would be going back to a distributor after having no distributor. But I see that's not the case.

So since you mentioned Ectune and Neptune it sounds like you are thinking of going with OBD1 instead of the Holley Commander? Is OBD1 better in some way? I'm not familiar with either really. I'm running a Megasquirt with a Ford EDIS (distributorless) ignition. It uses a crank trigger instead of a cam trigger which in the end I think is more reliable. And since there is no distributor you don't have to deal with caps and rotors anymore. If the Holley supports it I would highly recommend an EDIS system. It won't be compatible with any Honda stuff though.

But if you do switch to OBD1, would you be interested in an adapter plate to fit an F22 dist. to the A20? I ask because we're working on a design over in the R&D section.

my commander is a bit out of date, and is in need of a re-flash.
most of the Honda programs these days run boost by gear or 4 stages,anti-lag,2 step and a host of other options Holley does not offer.

the Holley does have 4 input/output sections i can configure for some of those options but not all.

the commander is sweet for it's usability and reliability but lacks the bells and whistles that Neptune RTP and Ectune include..

also i am having an issue with the idle, i have to run it dangerously rich at idle for it to stay idling. i tried to lean it, advance timing / retard timing
and nothing it wants lots of fuel like 10:1 afr....

i know my problem may be elsewhere though. i just have to find it.

i have been lurking in the the adaptor plate thread and i have the f22 dist already, just waiting to see if it comes through or not.;)

I've noticed mine likes to idle fairly rich too, 12-13:1. But 10:1 is extreme. Have you tried recalibrating the WBO2? They do drift sometimes.

there were a few tiny shavings at the throttle body so sum of it ended up in the engine for sure.

i purged the intercooler with a shop vac , but i am unsure if anything came out. I was trying to get a good seal with my hands.

i am also getting a slight knock out of the bottem end. I figure i'll pull the pan and replace the bearings and check for shavings, i really dont feel like removing the engine again.

well as most of you know i felt my old thread was, well getting old and it was all over the place.
I am going stay more focused on what i am posting here.

I have not done anything new to the car in a while but the last couple of days has changed that.

Rendon-lxi kinda kicked me in the ass with out him knowing it.
I have been following his thread and I feel he is doing well with his accord.
That's what got me going again.

Money is tight right now so everything i do for a Minute will have mid to low budget.

I have done a few new things but i have yet to install them.
Most of you know i built a catch can and I'll post some finished pic's here. I also tapped the valve cover for a second breather line and gave it a make over. I'll have to go with some cheap lines to get started with.

I will do a basic how to on the catch can which anyone with semi-basic hand tools can make.

The finished product that i will show only varies on the inside with a baffle. Sadly I didn't get a interior pic while it was split in half.

So here it goes.
http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8498/may240007.jpg (http://img32.imageshack.us/my.php?image=may240007.jpg)http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/1513/may240008.jpg (http://img32.imageshack.us/my.php?image=may240008.jpg)
I went with a flat black Finnish and it came out pretty decent.
eventually i will add 2 more fittings in the front of the valve cover and the catch can for additional venting.
Eventually A second catch can that will be sealed with only a drain valve and 2 fittings 1 in 1 out will be added for the crank case evacuation. The second can is going to be vacuum assisted via a slash cut tube welded into the waste gate dump tube. that's the plan anyway.
heres some pics.
http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6473/may240001.jpg (http://img32.imageshack.us/my.php?image=may240001.jpg)http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/4695/may240004.jpg (http://img32.imageshack.us/my.php?image=may240004.jpg)
I am going to make a cut below the new fitting and slide in a baffle to separate it from the drilled holes.
On the opposite side i will drill additional holes in the same manner as the ones pictured.

it used to release pressure in the head and crank case and to collect the blow by oil and unburnt fuel that would normally end up back in the oil pan or the intake manifold. Adding extra lines helps it ventilate better.
On a turbo application there is not a good vacuum source to pull the gases, so you ventilate it to the atmosphere.
on an n/a car you could use a vented or non vented (in line)catch can.

i know i am missing a bunch of stuff in there but here is a good red on the subject.

Thanks Tdurr, I need to re-focus on what i started doing on the re-work of the car.
I started making a conversion harness to run a obd1 ecu and if i remember right it is almost done. I also bought a de-soldiering iron so i can chip my ecu. I just need to pick up a chip kit from www.phearable.net (http://www.phearable.net). and save some cash for the Neptune rpt.

when all that is in place i need to remove everything and re-run all the wiring including stereo and alarm wiring.
I may leave the main a20 plugs alone so pulling the engine will be easier.

i also want to re-run all the ic pipe.

all in due time my friend.

As you can see i drilled a bunch of holes for more venting and cut a slit with a cutoff saw so i could drop in a metal plate to act as a baffle or a wall between the vent holes and the vent fitting.

yup! i had a brand new center section and stage3 63ar exhaust housing sitting in a box.lol
But I had to throw in a 60ar compressor housing and smaller wheel.
the up side is that it spools a hella lot faster and will support up to 350HP.

I fixed her up and went for another pull, from a second gear roll on low boost and when the car hit 5000 rpm i blew the tire's off. fuuuuck, i forgot how fun this car was.

I was filled with confidence so i boosted on a stang and then i realized there was a cop 2 cars behind him. lol The cop just kinda looked at me and shuck his head.

That's what i get for screwing around hahaaha.

The valve cover and catch can seem to work great. It did not push any oil into the lines.

stay tuned, let's see if i can stay busy.


You sir are welcome.
yup! i had a brand new center section and stage3 63ar exhaust housing sitting in a box.lol
But I had to throw in a 60ar compressor housing and smaller wheel.
the up side is that it spools a hella lot faster and will support up to 350HP.




It is cool! I thought you were making conversation.
I want that tool box it's freakin cool.

could you do me a favor and remove the pic's?
the text is fine, but those pic's are huge.lol.
thank you.i resized them down to small sorry, the tool box is over 50 years old, i had a terrible time finding the aeroquip decal, it's vintage 86 and a bunch of my lines and fittings are the same vintage stuff as the decal. i like your stuff you posted very cool. even with my vintage 72 carbs eventually going to running some sort of data logging air fuel stuff to get them set up right.

another thing some of the turbo guys do,is to run a vaccume pump off of the crankcase, the vaccume drawn on the case pulls out all the blowby,and the negative pressure can help your rings seal better also. if you ditched the ac,like a lot of people have,good location for one, the Morosso pumps are pricey,but if you look on second hand racing gear sites,sometimes you can get them reasonable. the nice thing is they keep a constant negative pressure on the case ,and the vaccume increases with rpm, when the blowby increases.

yeah and the smaller kit seems to fit the dash clock size almost perfectly. Thats where Id put it anyways. The radio installs look great but too much of an inconvience to look down and over when you can ust look over. I wonder if the writing is the same size or is the numbering smaller since the display is smaller? Might be cool to use a main display in the clock function and a second for less valuable cool info under the radio in the storage compartments. Too bad out clusters dont have an available spots like the civics, that would be super cool. Maybe send a cluster off to someone and have them fiberglass a upper section onto thhe cluster surround to house 2 display modules?

Maybe someone can photoshop some design ideas around the stock cluster? Mount a single unit to the outside of both sides of the cluster? House them under the cluster in between the steering wheel in that small viod?

If you just need to log AFR get one of these and use an old laptop.

If you want an AFR display without the laptop you'll need separate gauge.

actually not true anymore cygnus. you can actually hook the wifeband directly into an unused port on the ecu, and the tunerview is made to display it. this goes for pretty much any gauge you can think of, egt, ect etc

Eh? Unused port on the Honda ECU? I didn't realize they had unused ports. I assume it's just for OBD1 ECUs right? I know very little about Honda ECUs.

Very cool. But mostly I was talking about Lost's case where he has carbs and just wants to log AFR only.

well i would like to log air fuel, rpm, and egt possibly. those are the main things i need to lay over each other to get the best picture,possibly oil temp too, that tells you a lot when you look at in in relation to rpm, if it's heating up at higer rpms the engine can be running lean and the excess heat goes into the oil and cooling system,

well I got a small update.

i was getting a simular noise as rendon posted about awhile back, i checked claerances and they were in spec.
i pulled the head off to port and polish it everything seemed fine, i got that done so i pulled the cam to remove the valves and i think i found the problem.

sorry the pics suck.
the race's are all scratched to hell. the cam and head is ruined.
the noise is probably the cam moving around in the head.

it's time to start saving for another head, bishi cam and springs,and port and polish and valve job. 3 angle intake and 5 angle exhaust should do the trick.

I have not made a solid decision on the cam but the Bisi 2.4 looks really good! I got the rest of the obdo-obd1 dizzy conversion harness made along with the ecu conversion harness.

Sorry to the guy's with the adapter plates, I could not spend $300 in relation to 1 hour of my time to adapt the dizzy to the block.
All I had to do was clock the cam key 180 degrees. no drilling. It seems slightly advanced and I have a few degrees of adjustment. If there is a problem i can adjust the cam gear.
I'll post later on that when I reset timing.

On a down note.
I ran the numbers on my turbo to get a new compressor wheel. I got no e-mail reply or phone call from the company i got it from. So I was looking else where. I found out the "62-1" Is in fact not a 62-1 It is a 60-1 and i was fuming mad!....


It's been too long so what am i going to do! right!

I so happen to have a nice Schweitzer twin scroll 3lm-39 that is newly rebuilt and capable of 60+psi. It's off of a tank. (literally a fucking Bradly)

I have no doubt in my mind a 2.0l cant spool it. so I'll be selling it to fund a turbo with some big nut's that i can actually spool.


I was "thinking" of a he351 vgt ...2 stages of boost 4 stages of turbine housing!

If it works and it should spool/whine at idle. It might even create boost at idle...Idky but we "may" see.
If I can get a bad ass deal on a BB Garrett we wont see.

At this point I am looking at 1200cc(I still want to drive it on the street)injectors as i cant afford the Id1000's or (i wish to god) the Id2000's.......

I want you guys to know if i am running the 60-1 or the he351vgt . I am going to max out either the injectors,the turbo or the iron block..

so that's what i am up to..:beer:

Water to air is pretty effective but IDK. like guaynabo said it will be a pain to get it all worked out. So why would you want to do that anyway? something wrong with you old setup? or is it just that since your engiine is pulled out you taught of it and wanted to do it? LOL 21 questions here. but im liking the gloss black thou

LOL 21 questions here. but I'm liking the gloss black though

Well Rendon, the packaging of A 1000 hp water/air intercooler is a hell of alot smaller than that of a 650 hp air/air. lol.

My tuner seems to think we will max out at around 480-500 hp with that turbo and 1000-1200cc injectors. So I was looking for a solution. I just may max out what i have and then build it up from there. It will give me more time to figure out what i want. I have been looking for an air/air but the problem is that we are limited on space.

I got the idea of the gloss black engine compartment with the flat black body on new years eve in a thread that never caught on. well it did it's job, Cubert posted some pics of his ride.lol,:D I was drunk.

After seeing how it was coming out, I decided to repaint the whole car gloss black. I will probably paint it this weekend.

Also you guy's can ask what ever you like. It does not bother me a bit.
1 question or 21 questions it's all good.

I'll tell you guy's straight up, I am no pro-anything all i am is a guy who wants to learn and will take the chance on screwing something up to learn..

Air to water is very efficient for intercooling but for a street car its a hassle imo. Air to air is much larger for the same power level but each setup has its pros and cons, both are effective if set up properly. Have you considered going to a different core like this one? Vertical type cores flow more and have less pressure drop across them, and cool just about as well as horizontal type cores, Ive seen data that suggests that over 90% of all cooling occurs in the first 5-6" in of the core anyway... Not sure if this helps but its somthing to consider, it might flow enough to make the power you want and its a bit more compact in some dimensions than other fmics....

would work out better for the mounting direction of my turbo.
I have heard that the vertical flow intercooler is more efficiant than the standard horizontal flow. I have time to ponder the delema, my cam and springs wont ship till at least 2/17/10. bisimoto is closed till the feb 2nd.
I must say my little johnyracecar intercooler held up nicely the last time we were on the dyno. lol.

I have to worry about the injectors before the intercooler.

I want to make the D series show down and IFO in pueblo, but f**ck I'll get 0 real seat time.

yeah i know what you mean. Im running a JRC 8" and im not sure exactly how much power itll support but it is a nice piece. My old custom coach fmic was very nice too. The vertical cores usually have a shorter path for the air to flow, so pressure losses are lower. Eventually, i might upgrade to one but for now ill stick with what i got.

guaynabo89
01-26-2010, 07:59 PM
I got a precision 350. bad move on my part. it was maxed out first time out.


get the biggest most efficient one you can get. that way when it comes time to step it up you wont have to replace.


dont go overly large though. if your goal is 450 hp dont get an intercooler with 1000 rated hp and like 3 1/2 - 4" inlet/outlets. Lol

how was it maxed out? I think we have a similar biuld except well yours is done and mines on the shelf in the garage still. I have a precision 3x8x26. Not sure what it was rated anymore its been so long. Yours would heat soak that quickly?

for some reason we were loging 20 degrees cooler than ambiant at 14 psi. with the jrc and the cts was weirdly stable for some reason..

he tuned my buddy's d16y8 before mine and mine stayed 20 degrees cooler after 4 runs and 4 psi difference. His intercooler was 2X the size of mine.

that water/air intercooler is bad ass. all i need are the lines and a pump.

the cam and springs should be on the way back next week, so i am super pumped.
I removed the 70mm tb i had and opted for a omni 70mm tb for a better fit.

I do need to get new ic pipe and t bolt clamps.

well when i built the mani i used a stock t-bird exhaust housing with the 60-1 compressor housing to fit it.

for some reason both the stage 3 garrett housings i have (4 bolt and a 5 bolt ) shift the compressor towards the runners.so the compressor is hitting the #1 runner..
I can probably cut all 4 runners and add like 1 inch of pipe to each runner and make it work.

On the other hand it would give someone a chance to get another turbo a20 on the road.

I am also looking for a biger turbo so i may have to build another one anyways.

I figure I don't drive it often so this is the next step, plus I use to have a passion for drag racing. I lost it along the way and I am trying to get that passion back.. I'll still street it though.
