I'm excited to see this thing come together. It was good to talking to you again last night.

It's looking really good.

Those are pretty impressive turbo satan. I wouldn't think they are big enough for your purpose though. The largest looks like its 67mm. Aren't you running a 72 right now. I totally dig all the built in add ons. Any idea what the price point is going to be?

Well I tried out the quick spool on the street and the dyno. It didn't work to well for me. It ended up only hitting about 4psi with the quick spool closed and the flapper never opened (should have around 12~14psi). I disconnected the flapper to let stay open and the boost went back to 8psi. This was all done with the wastegate disconnect. I even went a step further and covered the outlet of the wastegate with aluminum foil to confirm the wastegate wasn't venting. At this point I have decided to dig into the car again. I plan on redoing all the pre-turbo stuff. Starting with cast manifolds and running smaller 2.5 inch piping to the turbo. Also thinking about selling this turbo to go with a t4 78~80mm turbo. Thanks John. Your car is moving too. I wish I could get out of the hole like that. What is wrong with your fire suit? Single layer?

Nice Video's. That thing really moves out. Do you ever do 1/4 mile. I'm curious what the mph would be with the new gearing?

I'm really looking forward to seeing this come together. Let me know if you want a hand sometime.

Car looks good. Nice work!

Very nice. Congrates on the new time. So what changed in the setup?

The chassis looks amazing. Nice Work.

Looking good stony. The dash came out nice.

Hey, PR280z are you still in New Mexico?

The fuel I run in both of my cars is up to 85% ethanol already. What should I do. lol just kidding. Its suppose to be.

I'm having some trouble getting my t6 S480 to spool up so this is what I came up with. It used a wrx wastegate I had laying around which will have its own boost controller so I can adjust when the flapper opens. The divided housing was originally a 1.32 ar. So I figure its now .66 before the flapper opens now.

Sounds like a fun car. Good luck at the track! Any plans for power adders later?

Is this the erik's racing car?

Amazing work. I love the radiator setup. I want to hear the exhaust!

This story made my day!!

any noticeable difference in spool time between your old setup and new?

Congrates on achieving one of your goals. Car looks good.

It looks amazing though!

Thanks for the positive comments. As soon as I get some better times I'll put them up.

That is the first time out in the car. I have only run the car 3 times so far at 8psi. I'm working out some of the issues. My ultimate goal is 20 psi and getting it to build more boost at the line.

Here is a Video I put together of my Z. Epileptics beware! lol.

That is one sick coupe in the video!!

Thanks bro! An picture update: In an attempt to meet all the nhra rules I was told I needed a firewall to separate the fuel cell from the driver. This is what I came up with. It is made of 20 gauge (min 24 is required). It is sealed with rtv in side too. I installed a new tachometer that reads off a spark plug wire. The autometer would only go as low as 2 rev per cycle and I needed a 1 rev per cycle to get it to read. I went with the smaller tach to offset it. Now I can see it threw the steering wheel. I finally installed the window net too. It came out nice if I do say so. Here are some numbers finally. I was only able to get it up to 8 psi so far. It put down 511whp and 454wtq on the dyno so far. I want to try a smaller a/r exhaust housing and eventually a different torque converter. I went out the the track and clicked of 3 pass at 11.1 and 133mph. The car did great and it's consistent. I still want to wire up some stuff to the aem for a 3 step. On the t-brake I'm launching on about 3psi but it takes a while to build boost. Here is a shot on the way out to the track with Aj in his 10sec neon.
