hey guys..steve, ben.. everyone..
been very busy lately, sorry to drop the ball on the posts.. well, that and my comp crashed on saturday.. over 400 stored pics of Garage Epik Tuning projekts from the past several months..gone.. among many other things. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>
oh well, i'm on the laptop now.. stil haven't gotten the desktop straightened out yet. let's se.. updates....
the Civic projekt is still sitting, sans tranny..looking pitifull. 1000cc injectors are on order and we are scouring the area for a LS tranny. I've said it before, I'll say it again.. once the fuel is there, I'm shooting for 400 hp at 10 psi. I haven't even configged the GM boost solenoid in the EMS yet. Still running on the HK$ .7 bar wg spring. I haven't touched the cam gears yet. Considering the sheet metal manifold we are using, I think I can pull at least 20 hp from them when they are dialed in. I can't wait just to be able to make a full pull..going to 9k.
The 180sx projekt is still in limbo.. getting my money back from my buddies in Misawa (Japan)..shipping is too much of a bitch.. getting some other things though in addition to the cash.. a vlsd..etc. The hunt is on a for a reliable stateside SR redtop. Car looks great though.. gold, with full blue interior out of my other 89 240. TEIN HRs with camber plates, Cusco f/r strut bars, HK$ guages.. HK$ HiPer.. Killin me just pushing it in and out of the garage everyday.. I wanna drive!!
The 3rd fastest street MR2 in the US (PRicer's) is still in limbo. I was working on his other one today ( I have 2 93's torn down in the garage right now). Rebuilding a stock 3sgte for the red car and trading out all the go fast parts to his new black one. The new one will have a HUX manifold and 64mm tb, as well as an upgrade to a HK$ GT3040 (currently on the GT3037 and stock int man, fuel rail, and tb he has run
11.97@117.4). A few more months on this one I'd guess, he is taking his time and saving up. Look for it at The Rock as soon as it is done. We are also looking at some form of engine mgmt..possibly Power FC. With enough tire his old setup could have done 11.7s.. this new one may be the first street MR2 in the US to pull a 10.
No news on the monster DSMs.. pistons still at Ross.. The TorqueMonster's (2.5L talon) block is still in CA waiting on the pistons...
I'd like to talk to this guy with the turbo/nos f22. Just like to see how thick he pours it on. I love talking to BSer's.
Ben.. so what is your game plan looking like. I would plan for a clutch if I were you, considering the HP you have already gained from the downpipe. I should have made hard piping for the charge pipes while I had that car. You may be losing up to 2 psi from the hose surge/flex.
I recently became a Mazda specialist too.. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
