    Need help with a custom 3.0l v6 twin turbo project.....

    Might I suggest the GT2871R as a suitable option. The spool up with the .64 a/r option would be perhaps close to the Evo3, but with way more top end. In twin turbo application they should be capable of 800bhp. TurboByGarrett.com - Catalog

    Almost to the 300hp CLUB?

    I'm not nescessarily saying to go with 1000cc, but overkill doesn't really matter in this case unless there is a large price difference between, say 720 and 1000. And actually, people who are looking to max out turbos the size of an FP3052 and large on pump will want something close to 1000cc...

    Almost to the 300hp CLUB?

    The reason for getting large injectors when someone gets DSMLink is not to size them the smallest possible, but the largest possible because one will never need to upgrade again. Many people will want more at some point, and with Link large injectors will idle like small ones and won't have to...

    Megan Racing: Updated AWD Downpipe and Catback! (3in.) Opinions?

    Personally, I do kinda like the angle, looks mean and performance oriented. But that sort of thing is just a personal preference, so you won't be able to please everyone with the angle. However, I understand why they have such an angle, and I can appreciate that. I am looking past the looks...

    Hard lesson learned

    I used to have a GPS in my car that would give me the actual speed I was going. With my factory 215/50/17 tires, at about 75 on the speedo the car was actually going closer to 70mph. The speedo's are off by a percentage. What that means is the faster you go, the more your speedo will be off...

    Custom Porsche Calipers Install, Finished!!

    That is a gorgous set up, especially for the money. You have some great braking potential. What compound are you running? Maybe switching to something like Porterfields would help get the most of that system. I don't remeber who, but someone in my club who does road race just has big rotor...

    new motor or just rebuild mine

    I'm assuming that since your car is a '93 it is a 7bolt. While it is possible to successfully rebuild a 7bolt, it is difficult.I have rebuild some 7bolts, and a 6bolt after those attempts. The problem lies in the thrust bearing, of course. It is not to difficult to line up the the thrust...

    Into the 12's - Finally

    Good job! You got the 12! Nice that your track had good traction that night! :) As said, track prep will make a big difference in the pressure you need to run. Wish NED would have anything close to that kind of traction on anything other than a musclecar event. They aren't favorable to...

    7Bolt Rebuild Question

    If you're going to have problems with anything on a 7bolt rebuild, it will be the thrust bearing. The thrust is especially susseptible to low oil pressure. Make sure that the thrust is not worn from the low oil pressure and that there is addequite pressure after you put it back together...

    Stroker Kit??

    What you need ot be carefull of when rebuilding any 7bolt is the main girdle. Make sure you use a good shop that can properly align the cap, especially the center cap part where the thrust bearing is, and make sure they use a torque plate to alignbore it. so far most walked cranks i've seen...

    Evo III 16g v FP big t-28

    Yes, the evo and the big are different, but not hugely. I have spoken with Turbochargers and they say that the hype is just that. There is not a large enough difference in the compressor to even rate it more than the big for hp ratings. Most of the spool up is due to the turbine housing. The...

    My question for either FP or others with their cams. How are the spool characteristics and power bands of both the fp1 and fp2 cams?

    You should get an external gate if you wish to control boost well. I know peeps with greens. Even those who had internals have switched in external in order to control boost better. The internals may work, but not well for a street car with pump gass. O2 mounted would defintily be easier if...

    GST vs VW's ?

    My sentiments exactly. Evo or STi Actually, you could get one off of Ebay or something for less than 30 and use the additional $5k to make on sick ride. or this place called Evolution imports gets JDM Evo's for a reasonable price, including used ones for under 30k. :dsm:

    GST vs VW's ?

    174 whp is not bad considering its awd. Those R34's are pretty nice. I wouldn't mind one of those! supped up VR6 and AWD and host of other goodies. A little on the expensive side I think, however. Any word on how those perform?

    GST vs VW's ?

    I'm a DSM guy. But I do know that Vdubs do have fairly efficient drivlines, and it is true that they do under rate their horespower frequently. However there are more factors to going fast thab horsepower and weight. So it is possible to have that power and not be as fast as a GST.

    lol That's great! Have you had the block alignbored for studs? It might not be as important on a 6bolt as a 7bolt since its a better block, but studs distort the block different than the factory main bolts do. It can lead to misalignment and possible crankwalk. Might want to check with your...

    You don't have to tap into a line, just the block. Look on the front of your 2g block. On the left side you will notice a fitting in which one of the turbo water lines goes in with a banjo bolt. You will need to spray some liquid wrench and carefully remove that fitting. Then you will need...

    3/8-18 NPT tap and use a 9/16 drill bit. I think it's easier to just drill and tap the hole. If you switch to first gen you have to swap everything because they where the reverse flow of the second gens. Good luck which ever way you go. :thumb: :dsm:

    got traction?

    Actually, with a slick track you are trying to improve traction. So you actrually want to lower tire pressure. The reason is that when you lower the pressure, the tires have more rubber on ther ground. More tire on the ground equals more traction. However, if you are autox or road racing...
