Can you clearly list everything you were looking to get rid of again?

We may well have interest in the LM-1, how much you looking for?
Is the left shaft brand new? How much for that?

Oh, and as for the injectors, 600 rwhp is pushing it.
On V-Series' car with the Procharger at 7 psi we were at 85% duty cycle with 42s at 580 rwhp.

60#ers are the only option....

update.

Decided to pull the turbos off, and have them jet hot coated. Also got some more heat foil coming in, as well as the rest of my fuel lines/fittings. Just gonna get all that stuff done before I bring it to the dyno. It was just too hot underneath the hood,...so, hopefully this ceramic coating and wrapping will help. My friend mike with his built G35,...just gave me an HKS EVS electronic boost controller. Pretty badass, and very nice. Looks brand new,....and it came with all the instructions. Going to swap the smaller waste gate springs in, and get it strapped down.


Hoerr racing's Jason and Dan hooked me up with my rails, and Miketurbo is doing the coatings on my hotside's. I have been looking for a turbo shop locally for a long long time.....and whadda ya know, I found one thats very close to a local hangout,...amonghst other unmentionable things. www.miketurboinc.com ......right there in front of me. Ended up being real cool people,...and close enough to home. Those should be done in the next couple of days. As soon as they are...the cars going right back together,...and crossing my fingers for some dyno time, and no car issues. My caddy is all messed up right now. So,...it's been aggrivating having two cars with issues.


Sorry for the delay,...i've been busy and **** happens. As always,..i'll keep you posted.

Seems like the mods never end.

I'm wondering how hot it gets underneath w/front over the top mounted turbos ?

I would like to do a single front mounted turbo system as I am not looking for an all out system, just a system that will give me enough boost to hold my own.

Projects like these take a long time and lots of cash.

Man, you ain't kiddin.

How hot does it get? Hotter then a witches tittie in a cast iron braw. Very hot. I have everything wrapped, turbo blanket and all. It seems like the HIGHEST heat area is right at the header/flange/collector area, where the turbo and header meet. My hood, has actually started to turn yellowish, right above on the outside only. So, I hope I can get rid of that discoloration. In the meantime, I just recieved my fittings for my fuel rails, and also my heat wrap. Had to do some stuff on a family members car today so, tomorrow i'll apply the heat foil.

A vented hood, would greatly reduce underhood temps. Greatly.

I'm willing to cut my hood but,.....just want it to look good,....and not get water logged if it has to be outside for a moment in the rain.

I didn't actually think this was gonna take this long. Who knows, by the time I am ready, to dyno it,...i'll be ready for a built bottom end and a bigger fuel system.

Then a tranny...then a diff....and then....

Just looking at this again, it makes me salivate and wish I had the know-how and funds to do projects like this. Keep up the good work man, it'll be well worth it
