How long til it see's the dyno now? I'm not going to go off what you said earlier because deadlines, especially when it comes to cars, usually change.

I can't wait to see the final product!

 

[bmoha2]

seems like tough placement for the turbo inlet.

 

[urbanrcr]

Interesting project. keep up the good work and GOOD LUCK!

 

[DSM-ZERO]

ZERO, what do you plan on going with for your suspension set-up?

hoperfully you haven't explained that already and me forgotten it?

WELL....we do have big plans for the suspension...but I want to try and see the limits of the stock suspension then go from there. right now i have custom QA1 shocks and springs. when i say custom i mean valve size and rate along with the spring load.
but i do plan on doing a double bolt on double wish bone set up.

This is a forum for sharing technical advice, not show-and-tell. He's got to expect opinions from everyone he shares his project with. Most of us can certainly admire his endeavor, but I think the shop is taking him for a ride with some of the stuff. For someone with such lofty goals, I'd just like to see his money going toward more necessary parts. Given my opinion, he can take it or leave it, but it's worth hearing.

Everyone here is welcome to share their opinions, just as long as they aren't forced on anyone.

I do understand it and can take the good with the bad. It dose not get me mad or nything like that i just plan on showing everyone what a 2GNT can do

hmmmmm about 17-25 days i would beat on

Im goingto run 13x8 weld drag rims with a maximum tire width of 9.0 and a maximum hight of 25.0...as far as what brand goes...dont know yet but the tire will be the diamensions above.


YES YES YES i really hope i go 9's it has always been my dream. and i really ### to accomplish my goals.

 

[bmoha2]

Ya might be getting a lil deluded what with the heat over there and all but I can see 9's happening Good luck! When ya going to get more pics?

 

[XMasta19]

FYI: our cars use struts not shocks

 

[94Jettameowpsst]

Wow i've kept up with this thread since day one and wow. Lol i have a feeling you're going to be gettin down the track with sheer power...no driving skill, no traction. You're going to have one super light, super high hp fwd beast

Best of luck to you!

 

[Sallback]

Technically they are Coil Springs and Gas Shocks, all a part of the strut.

YES iam well aware of that BUT im doing something just a little bit different

 

[DSM-ZERO]

hope you guys enjoy

Well you said you were testing out limits of the stock setup first, thus why I said that. Don't want any confusion or misunderstanding from future readers and searchers that don't decide to read from page 1.

I'm likin' the wheel/tire combo

Getting antsy for ya. She's finally getting close to the start her up stage.

I just can't stop looking at that intake manifold, everytime you load us a new pic it just sticks out.

 

[BigRand]

Regarding the c02 controlling boost:

He's right about it making more horsepower. I talked to my guy at horsepower connection, and I guess on his 1200whp 7sec nova they use the same setup.

The reason it makes more power is because you have the control over the top of the wastegate right away as supposed to waiting for the turbo to spool up to gain that control. With the wastegate held down already by pressure it allows a much faster spool which created more boost faster which should yeild more power in the end.

I know bad explanation, but it made sense to me when he explained it and showed dyno results.

 

[totaleclipse_05]

I want one of those valve covers! Very nice!

 

[Blitzeclips]

I'm not feelin that manifold whatsoever.

Everything else looks like it's coming along nice...

 

[VelocitàPaola]

You guys are missing the concept... it can't possibly make *more* power -- it can make power sooner, or control power onset, but it can't make more.

Yes, unless I'm missing something. It's a little bit of semantics but it is controlling the power. I do understand the reasoning, but again it's not MORE power it's controlled power.

Anyway, control that power to 9's, Zero

Yes, please mass produce that valve cover.

Yes there are a few parts that i plan on releasing for the 420a........but that is in the furture....

YES 9's is the goal and control is everything

 

[Locke]

He will have more area under the curve, with the wastegate not opening until the last moment. So I suppose, if you looked at it that way, there would be more power available, but it will not effect the big number at all. Would make for a nicer looking dyno sheet, though.

Should be easy enough to prove, one way or another, while on the dyno.

 

[DSM-ZERO]

I have more pics on the way of the boost pipe and radiator

with reguards to the Co2
I agree on the turbo being able to spool faster and the power curve comming on sooner, being able to make more power at lower RPM's. Than a waste gate system with out Co2.
BUT
if the Turbo is Still making power at red line .....if the turbo can spool faster it will move the power curve to the left 200-500rpm wouldnt that produce more power on the top end also.

 

[XMasta19]

If your turbo is still making power and increasing in boost, what do you need a wastegate for?
