Do you plan on using this car on the track or the street?

 

[KGB Pilot125]

it will be a summer car and only be driven on the weekends. got 2 other cars to drive for daily drivers. this car was bought to be a race car.

 

[Newlogics]

I didn't see any gauges on your list....
But I'm sure you got tons of 'em already

 

[KGB Pilot125]

gauges include

boost
egt
H2o
n20 pressure
oil temp\pressure
fuel pressure

NO lightened flywheel unless u like the big BOOM. just warning ya

 

[Nappy94]

I wanna see it when it's done. That's gonna be a sick car man.

talked to my builder and we decided that to keep some torque we need to stay with a stock flywheel, I want a llittle more top end and a little quicker rev so we went with a stock flywheel and lightened it up just a little bit. looks like all my parts including my AEM EMS will be here next week except my radiator. now after I put all this on I am going to start building a motor. just have to decide wether to build one off an extra block and head I have or go buschur stage 3 for everything with some custom ground cams or the HKS cams. decisions decisions

Some people just have too much money on their hands...I'll gladly take some of that load off your wallets.

How much did you lighten it? In powerful cars there have been TONS of problems with a stock lightened flywheel, like blowing it through your passenger side of the car...

 

[GreenGVR4]

Im gonna go with them...ditch the flywheel, knife the crank, drop as much rotating mass as possible, Get an AEM aftermarked programable ECU. How are you doing your pistons and rods? might i suggest going with 6-bolt Aftermarket rods (Eagle/Crower) and have them machined to fit 93+ pistons (Arias/Weisco) this is alot better setup.

 

[KGB Pilot125]

already got the AEM ECU got the one of the first shipped out. all this is going on a stock motor while I build a big nasty motor. just wondering if it would be easier to go with a stage 3 block and head or if I should build my own block and send off my own head. the stock flywheel was lightened 3 pounds I believe. as far as sending it through my passenger side floorboard good thing I got that quik-release floorboard ala F&F

 

[rubbersidedown]

i'm just curious.. but why would you have a custom 3" exhaust that narrows down to 2.5"?

thats what I was told to go with. on my sy I have all 3 inch from Dp back. builder said go with 3-2.5 and a muffler I would prefer no muff but he said go with one

 

[CH152]

What about your BOV?

 

[KGB Pilot125]

HKS racing BOV operated by air no springs so it cant leak

A light flywheel is not the best thing to do to a turbocharged car. yes you will accelerate faster, but in return you will decelerate faster. that means you knock your self out of boost when you change gears, I had a friend that had swaped his light weight flywheel to his stock and got a .4 increase in his et.

do you have any experience with a dual ball bearing turbos? they stay spun. my friend has dual BB 80mm and it takes a good 45 seconds for it to stop spinning when you shut the car off. I dont think that between shifts is going to be a problem.

 

[onegee]

syclones are the #@%#@%#@%#@%...i wish there were more around

 

[jdmawd]

does anyone actually buy this

you got the first standalone shipped out huh ? whats the number on it does it say number 1 cause if it doesnt you dont have the first one shipped out. you might have the first one shipped out when they came available again after they all sold out the first week. what kind of FMIC are you running ? dual ball bearing 50 trim turbo man that is small. 60 trim at least or GT Ballastic series. if this is a race car suck it up get a big turbo and live with the lag. hks 272/272 only way to go unless you wanna get real crazy and get some racing webs with 286/282 grind on them or something like that. whoever told you going from a 3 to 2.5 is stupid that will restrict your exhaust flow create more back pressure and turbos dont like back pressure. 2.5 opening to 3 inch makes more sense. if your worried about the loudness of the noise your exhaust will make resonate that b#$%h. what kind of wastegate are you running ? tial 35 i presume since you have the garret manifold. what kind of sparcos and intake manifold did you get ? buschur stage 3 packages are nice but pricey. you could buy the parts and have a good trusted local machine shop do the machining and assembly for cheaper. get a fidanza flywheel dont lightend the stocker. he wont have to worry about his turbo despooling during shifts. its small its ball bearing and im sure he will have a shifting rev limiter set with the aem ems so he can keep his foot on the gas while shifting keepings those monster cams in powerband and turbo spooled up and power going.

thats just my .02 cents whats yours ?

He said he got "one of the first". Go away Manny.

my AEM is number 0062 it was one the first 62 made how is that.

its a custom spearco core with stainless piping a greddy BOV being built by F2uning similar to RRE design

3 to 2.5 is al that is needed because of the way the exhaust gasses cool, its some sort of thermodynamics

wastegate is a innovative progate, same size basically as the Tial, using a cast manifold and the gate will be plumbed back in the system for noise it might get a cut out but I doubt it

we figured that a 50 trim is good for now I can still go one step bigger before having to go to the GT series. this is the turbo me, the engine builder and terry at ITS came up with to start out on

anyways that was a ton of #@%#@%#@%#@% to type out, how about we try to make the DSM community faster in a whole instead of trying to tear down members who want to go fast?? like crabs in a pot!

I've been browsing this site today and you seem to get the most false BS flags out of anyone. Must get annoying. Anyway, I'm interested in hearing any details about the 3" to 2.5" exhaust flow theory.
