Nice

 

[DSM-ZERO]

2 things....

What kind of front bumper is that?

2nd, are they cutting a hole for the turbo?

Buddy Club 2 bumper

As of right now "I" do not want a hole cut out.....there gonna make a scoop to take up the empty space on the left side of the IC


WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

HOLE
or
NO HOLE

 

[XMasta19]

I think I'm drunk and twin scroll is awesome!

2-step is t3h sexiness...

Sorry, Zero, I'm utilitarian. Go with the hole.

BTW, love the head on pic of the turbo up front with the engine in the background

I doubt this is going to be a street machine, but you can always buy a 2nd front, and cut a hole in one,

Street/track setup...but if I had too I'd probably cut a hole

 

[spooln4fun]

I vote no hole, but

hole=no restrictions with air entering

no hole= slight resistance to air intereing but i dont think it would be much

 

[DSM-ZERO]

Yes it is gonna be a twin scrooll with two 44mm tial gates on either side

I was thinking about getting a OEM 2G bumper and just citting a hole in it also W/a CF lip too

THANK'S EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT

 

[totaleclipse_05]

I say cut a hole in it. That's the whole reason you are mounting the turbo right up in front, to get the best airflow going in.

You have all this super custom stuff, seemingly for the sole purpose of creating insane power in a less that streetable kind of way. I say man up and cut a hole in the bumper.

+1 Cut a hole in that thing, When its functional it looks mean and when it looks mean it = sexy anyway. So, its really a win win situation to just cut it!.

 

[95TalonOwner]

+1 for a cut hole.

+1000000000 for your sweet ass 420A. It makes me want to work on mine more.

 

[oneyedfatguy]

You owe me a keyboard now. I just killed mine while drooling over this build.
Oh yeah +1 for the hole if it is necessary.

 

[420a16g]

JESUS!! and I thought I was building a race car.....you are my hero DSM-ZERO!!!

p.s. I say cut the bumper also

 

[DSM-ZERO]

Thats funny everyone pretty much wants me to cut the bumper sooooo ill do it...

Thnks everybody for the support.. All that positive energy keeps me goning and i hope i aclompish all my goals.

 

[ninjai_ruken]

You suck! just thought I would throw some negative energy in there.. Really the car looks great. Good job and I cant wait to see the end product!!!

 

[DSM-ZERO]

Also Im going to run Co2 to the tops of my Wastegatwates to help control boost

The added pressure of the Co2 will help from stop boost creep on the top end. I can also program the Co2 and my boost controller to adjust boost at any rpm and gear soooo my boost will be right on target........The shop has been testing this form of boost control for some time now and they have proven Dyno results that show plus 70hp at the same boost levels....

I cant wait to get home and race this thing
also
more pics soon

 

[VelocitàPaola]

So... it's a really sophisticated boost control system that adds horsepower somehow?

 

[XMasta19]

That's what I got from his post...

 

[bullettdsm]

OK, Zero, now you lost me, how is the boost controller adding power by maintaining boost levels?

MB

 

[DSM-ZERO]

i will be able to run the lowest spring possible and the Co2 to control pressure to suit my needs. IT will allow me to boost down low off the line and bring in the boost and horsepower exactly how i want it on the top end. The nice thing is with co2 you dont have to rely and wait on manifold pressure to build up with the Co2 its already there and all base settings can be tuned from inside my car. Controlling boost pressure is one of the most important factors in a car with limited traction.

in all it basicly allows me to run the a very low springs in the Gates for low boost of the line.
And on the top end instead of waiting on manifold pressure to build up the Co2 will trick the gates in to thinking its alredy at the desired boost level.....
soooo
I can keep the gates closed until the very very last second until the Co2 kicks in and adjust boost to what i want....

Which is why it will give me more HP....Because.... in stead of the gates graduly opeaning and leaking exhaust due to manifold pressure.
The Co2 will do the job..

now im not really the best in explaning everything it still is new to me too.

WE also might experiment with using a wastegate on the cold side OR boost pipe this is soo i can have the turbo screaming off the line at 40psi BUT only XX amount of boost is going into the motor due to the gate on the boost pipe....

 

[XMasta19]

So is that something that you just explained, or is this what the guys at the shop are telling you? This thread confuses me...I'm just awaiting the finished product.

That is how I explain it. In my simple terms
The guys at the shop can talk lightyears above what i know.

 

[BrokenTsi]

Im not sure why you'd gain HP. Youd just be able to control the boost and possibly move the powerband and help with traction... I dont see how steadier control and the ability to be more precise with adjustment would gain any sort of HP....

 

[XMasta19]

No more questioning his intelligence...the shop is building a monster, period. We'll all see what happens when they're finally done and he pays his enormous bill hehe. Personally, if this car doesn't go 9's, I'll be disappointed

 

[VelocitàPaola]

Again... no offense, but it's not his intelligence we're questioning, it's the shop's. They seem to be selling him "the best and the greatest" with an outrageous price tag when something as simple as a staged Profec would've worked just fine... I think a little questioning would be good. There's something to be said for investing the right amount of money into a project car, but there's also something to be said for blindly installing parts for greater performance but with no empirical results to prove such.
