i plan to drop the meth kit and go with a rotated perrin gt35. I don't need meth/nor can i use it racing

gotta go built block though at the same time.

Oh yeah I fogot your going for a all out time attack car right..Thats pretty cool man..The perrin GT 35R will be sick man, real sick... I was thinking the 3.5 straight back exhaust would be badass...Also I figure the 3.5 will be good for when my goal goes over 550WHP dont think the TMIC will survive for that goal

Yeah block for sure, I am going with a Short Block from AR FAB.. Howard is a real cool dude..

John tuned the car today he did a great job my car was just acting up but he got everything to work.. I am using just the Perrin EBCS and that was a bit of a problem cause we couldnt play with the boost like we wanted to... I was gonna go with a MBC but they didnt have any at the shop so I was SOL and at this point I needed the car tuned and back they had it for a week.. So he got 24psi, hitting full boost at 3800rpm it was holding and starts tapering down to 21psi at about 6k and goes down to about 19.5 at 7K. The car made 427WHP and 433 TQ its a monster the car pulls like a beast.. I have boost under my foot the whole time what a diff... Its amazing... I was expecting about 400/400 split especially with the TMIC.. But we got the 427/433 and that was only at 24psi there is PLENTY left with this turbo.. He did pull after pull no heatsoak issues at all.. It was 70 degrees out not real hot.. All in all I am super happy...

I will post up more info... Just got home from a long but fun 2 1/2 hr drive back from the shop... More info to come.. METH & TMIC FTW.....

beautiful, just beautiful. im insanely jealous.

i bet it is fun to drive. if i ever end up coming out, we need to go for a ride.

enjoy it man, be safe also. good luck with everything.

Hey bro whats up?? Thanks man.. Yeah she is insane the diff is huge from my STG 2, the throttle response is awesome and I have boost under my foot the whole time.. Before in the higher RPM she didn't feel like this..

Yeah man let me know if your ever in the area so you can take it for a ride.. Hows your car, are you pushing tin yet..... Be safe too later

Well took her out all day... So much fun to drive but damn those gas prices..... I have to figure out if I am going to mix my own Meth or just buy Boost Juice or Devils Own Brew etc etc.. Not sure yet.. I can get a 55 gallon drum of 99.9% Meth and just mix it... Well cleaned up the engine bay today since she was dirty from all the shop work.. Here are some pics.. Oh and the Koyo is just bling its a buetiful radiator..

STI-LOS · 05-23-2008, 03:41 PM

Here is a pic of the tight fit of the compressor and the elbow coupler by the DBW. The shop said it was a really tight fit and it was without the longer samco hose it probably wouldn't work. The elbow is on there no prob now so its all good here is a pic..

ebo03 · 05-23-2008, 03:48 PM

Ah, pics......just what I wanted to see. Go ahead, throw up some more. Looking good Carlos! What AR Fab block are you going with?

STI-LOS · 05-23-2008, 03:52 PM

Here is a pic of the Ebay Turbo Blanket from that guy Ollyrama.. Its a real nice blanket.. I know there was a group buy going on and I know some guys complained and said it wasn't that great quality wise, but i think its top notch.. It took a little to fit with the DOM 3 and all the other stuff going on since its a super tight fit.. But all I have to say is I drove back from the shop which was over a 2 hour drive when I got to my town I beat on my car for another 30 mins HARD... pulled over to see how the heat was and I could keep my hand on the blanket no prob and my IC was fine. It was also 70 out so it wasn't like it was a cold day.. Before even with the heatsheild on which I don't have on right now, I couldn't even touch my IC.. This blanket works well worth it..

600 to the wheels?? I saw earlier you were saying 500. Before that it was a 20G, then a last minute change to the Dom3. Its addictive isn't it? By the end of the summer you'll want a Top Fuel dragster

STI-LOS · 05-23-2008, 04:12 PM

Here is the pic of the controller. I mounted it up vy the vent for now.. If I get the S204 trim in the future I will move it down by the cigarette lighter, or I may leave it and use that space for a AVCR Boost Controller you know..

Well for the TMIC I am looking for a goal of 500 WHP and my DD at the same time... But my future goals are built block by AR FAB, APS 725, GT65 Maybe

, Hydra, Cage.. Thats when I pull her off the DD routine and make her into my weekend drag machine... But my real goal is to make 500WHP with the TMIC.. I know AMS is trying the same thing I talked to them the other day and they made 406WHP on pump and 485WHP on race gas with there new Rotated GT30 setup they are coming out with, thats on there custom TMIC. My goal is to make the 500WHP with the TMIC with Pump + Meth.. We shall see.. Thanks for all your kind words man def helps when your trying something diff you know..

Great build!!! What is the difference between the gold and silver foil. I see the gold is more expensive but it looks as if the silver has better heat retention???

Thanks man... I am not sure I am testing the two.. I used the silver foil on the IC well #1 it is a bit thicker, #2 the whole I/C in gold is to bling for me

but yes the price is way diff. The Gold is $30 for the same size and the Silver was like $18.. I used the Gold on my Heatsheild etc etc, I usd the Silver on my IC the Y pipe etc etc. I am gonna try and take temps of the two and see if that tells anything.. Not sure.. I mean F1 racing doesnt use the Gold foil for nothing. All I can say is before after a bunch of hard pulls I couldnt touch the bottom of the IC by the Turbo after the silver foil I can keep my hand on it after the same type of hard driving...

crand002 · 05-23-2008, 04:36 PM

Good to know. The silver does look better around the IC.
