Damn! sorry to hear that you lost your legs. I hope the recovery goes well and that you meet this 11 sec. goal. Best of luck to you and your DSM :dsm: You trully are a dedicated DSM'er:rocks:
 
Hey all! Its been a while since updated but my buddy Nelsons91AWD has a good job updating for me. I appreciate it pal! I appreciate everyone’s support and info as well… Right now I am home in Michigan on leave. Ive been in San Antonio TX doing my therapy at Fort Sam Houston.

I was injured while I was over there on 26MAY2007 and lost both my legs above the knees and my left eye, also badly burn/broke my right arm which is recovering nicely. They told me I wouldn’t be able to drive my car again but I set that as one of my goals. If anyone has some sort of inexpensive adaptive equipment ideas please let me know.

Now as far as my car goes with the set up we had before I got deployed we pushed a tad over 300whp and I was still getting used to the launch. But this October as I was in texas doing my therapy I made some phone calls and had my car brought to a local shop near home. I got quite a different setup now (mod list updated today) and am trying to decide on a turbo that can push 400+whp on pump. My SCM 3431E/T3 exhaust housing made 411whp on race fuel @24psi. Im wondering what turbo can do that on pump. A couple suggestions we were given up are the GT3076R, and the GT3071R. Is there any other suggestions or does anyone have any experience with these turbos and hopefully at a reasonable price.

My goal is 400+whp on pump gas and still use it as an every other day driver. Also if I get the driving down I want to run 11s in the ¼ probably on race fuel. (which will be the biggest challenge)

My Current Mod List
PTE 57 Trim (stage 3 wheel) .82 Ar T3 Exhaust Housing , DNP t3 Manifold, Tial 44mm External Wastegate, Custom 3" Downpipe, Apexi 3" full exhaust, 3" custom intake, 3" K&N, Magnus Sheetmetal Intake Manifold, FMIC, 2.5" IC Piping, HKS ssqv BOV, Turbosmart boost controller, NGK BPR7ES Spark Plugs, beyond redline coil on plug ignition, 1g Fuel Rail, Buschur SX AFPR Kit, Walbro 255 fuel pump, 10 Guage fuel pump rewire, Precision 880cc Injectors, MAFT/3" GM MAS, Koyo Radaitor, 12" slimline fan, 180 degree thermostat, DSM LINK, 95 Eprom ECU, Defi Boost Gauge, Balance Shafts Removed, HKS 272 Cams, ARP Headstuds, Crower Springs and Retainers, Mitsu MLS Headgasket, Quaife LSD, ACT 2600 Clutch, Short Shifter, ADR/limited ricochet's gunmetal w/polished lip, 225/45/17's kumho 712's, Tokico adjustable shocks and lowering springs, Prothane Motor Mounts, carbon fiber hood

Thanks All!

Hey all, I just like to see some replies from this post, if anyone has a good idea for which turbo I should go with and maybe some specs and numbers to back it up I would appreciate it. Thanks all and Happy New Year!

First, I'm very sorry to hear about your injuries, and its very courageous of you to keep pushing forward. Thank You for fighting for us.


Back to the car, have you considered converting it to an automatic? It would save some headache in designing the controls and would probably still be easier for you to drive. I've seen a couple modified auto's put down some impressive numbers.
 
Phizzle you should post some pics of your new setup!

It looks like we are going to go with the GT3076R......

We were hoping for some more responses from you guys on the forum though...
 
here is a pic

My father is a paraplegic. Wend down on a motorcycle back in 1984. He had great success with the automatic powered Grand National. He has break and gas on one universal lever and one had free to steer at all times. . . GNs are a different beast. But, yes, considering the impressive results alluded to by the previous post, converting to an utomatic may very well be best for you. Automatics have the luxury of not having to lift to shift (barring dsmlink), and they seam to handle more power for less dollar invested in the transmission. You'll never miss a shift again! Automatics are great track transmissions!

Making it an auto would be great concidering my limitations but my goal is to be able to drive a standard again. When i get my prostetic legs Im going to see how much control i have of my left leg as far as using it for pushing in the clutch. I will still have to get a hand clutch/break. Also, I dont think the VA will pay for a standard to automatic conversion.

Alright, well, I didnt get any responses about the turbo so i went ahead and had the GT3076R ordered. Anyone have experience with that turbo-your reply would be appreciated. Thanks...:dsm:
