Yes.

I have the Tokico HP blues and springs. I am running 10 mm spacers in the front and none in the rears, but I did trim the spring perches in both. My tires are what rub with 245/50s. A lower profile tire may not rub nearly as much or at all.

No one is hating on this. If commentary is taken as criticism nowadays, you are in for a rude awakening.

There is a recent thread over at www.classiczcars.com discussing a recent purchase of the CF bumpers. His primary complaint was weave separation. My CF BRE spook had some weave separation, but nothing that was noticeable from 5 feet away. Remember, a good CF product is not cheap (i.e., hoods) and you get what you pay for. If you are expecting a truly perfect product (the tail light panels are excellent) for the money, you may not want to purchase the bumpers.

Is it me or do two of the tubes look bent? Edit: I am not trying to knock the purchase, but it is the first thing that jumped out at me when I viewed the photos.

I don't know if the 16x8 +10s are common though. I believe that they were a manufactured for a group buy. Rota's website does not list a 16x8, much less anything lower than +30. http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=20

Welcome to the club! I think that you will be very happy with Wolf, especially if you intend to do more advanced functions like control you methanol system.

Shaweeeet! (second one from the top for reference, right under the word Nationals). Cheers Hugh

Bartman is running those wheels.

Not exactly. A pressure differential will spin a turbo. However, apply heat to the pressure and the pressure will increase, thereby spinning the turbo up more quickly. In-cylinder this means higher EGTs which in turn increase in-cylinder pressure. If the air inside the cylinder is not heated by combustion (no combustion happens), then on the exhaust stroke it is primarily moving by the piston pushing it out of the cylinder (I am not accounting for the heat created by the compression stroke). Look at it this way. Take a known volume of air contained in a canister and put a fan on top of it. If the temperature inside the canister is the same as outside, the fan blades will not turn. However, apply heat to the canister and the air inside is heated. The heated air molecules are excited (hot air balloon anyone) and thereby increase the pressure inside the cansiter. The fan blades will now start to turn because of the pressure differential. Saying that, heat the air even more and the fan blades will turn faster since the pressure inside the can increased. The increased pressure results in a greater pressure differential across the fan. PV=nRT For the same gas, P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2. For the same volume, P1/T1=P2/T2. Rewritten, P2 = P1* T2/T1 You can clearly see that an increase in temperature, T2, results in an increase in pressure. Keep the exhaust gases hot up to the turbine and cool after the turbine (increased pressure differential). Use a large downpipe to minimize backpressure (increase pressure differential).

Yes, you can spool a turbo with 10* air if the pressure is there. However, you would not be spooling as quickly as with 100* or 1000* air.

I responded to your thread over at Zcar.com and thought I caught it here too. It's a very clean build. You can see that a plan was prepared and you followed through with it without cutting corners. Nicely done!

Are you using an aftermarket engine management system? If not, is the stock ECU MAP-based? If the stock system is not MAP based, an atmospheric BOV that opens at idle can cause problems. It is essentially a large vacuum leak.

You are a more rabid supporter for Wolf than I.

Well, strike 3 and I am out. Both speedo assemblies I ordered were too short and the diameters too small. The Z32 assembly is as long as the Navara's. The D21 Hardbody assembly is too short and the diameter is too small.

Edit: A quick refresher shows that it is indeed more temperature driven than exhaust gas velocity.Gas flow plays a role as well, but the idea is to maintain high exhaust gas temperatures. As the high temperature exhaust gas expands, it drives the turbine. The greater the temperature differential across the turbine, the faster it will spin. Velocity is a result of high temperature (as well as cross-sectional area for a given flow rate), not the other way around.

It is my understanding from reading Maximum Boost and How to Tune and Modify EFI that the primary method of spooling a turbo is from the heat differential across the turbine and not so much the exhaust gas velocity.

Very odd. My D21 Hardbody speedo (1988) is not nearly as long as the one you show. Also, I have a 1988 Z31 turbo speedo assembly and it is nearly identical in length to the original Z32 assembly. I just picked up a replacement speedo cable and will be installing the assembly this weekend. I'll take pictures of all three side by side as well.

Sequential injection is a nice feature to have (there is a discussion on the MS forum regarding it - a quick search should show it), but it is only really important if you are trying to wring out every last horsepower from the engine. My opinion is why spend the money on a Rebello engine and then skimp on the most important aspect of your car, the engine management. Read jeffer949's trials with his MS constantly resetting itself. My aftermarket EMS does not do this and I know that others will not as well. MS is a great system and very cost effective, but you've gone well beyond the budget build simply by ordering a Rebello turbo stroker.

I can not go any leaner than 16 myself. Once the AFRs swing north of 16, I can feel the car lean surge on me. It is quite happy at 15.5 to 15.8ish and will do that all day long. However, my idle is at 14ish and the car is happy. I can not go any leaner because I am at the minium PW of my injectors without them acting up (right around 1.3 ms). Any richer and I am burning unnecessary fuel. I've got overrun fuel cut setup on my car (not MS) and not a single decel backfire. Works like a charm.

Correct.

Very nice! Congratulations.

You are not going to powdercoat your DP are you? Did you mean ceramic coat? Looking good Hugh.

Thats odd, because I pull over 20-in. of vacuum from a high rpm decel and my PCV system is hooked up as well. I do not smoke whatsoever. Saying that, I want a catch can myself for the same reasons (blowing oil into my manifold!).

That 2+2 is quite possibly the sexiest one on the face of the planet.
