Default Well its official I have joined the Darkside.

After alot of thought, and talking to alot of people I have decided I would not be able to run my goals with nitrous without hurting alot of parts. So then the decision was made to go Forced Induction, I didnt want to mess with belt slippage, or cogs with a blower. So the only logical choice for me was a turbo. So after talking to one of our local turbo shops that has been quite successfull in making some really fast turbo cars, I started ordering parts.

What I have so far:
Precision Turbo 101mm
Weldon 2345 Fuel Pump
Weldon 2047 Bypass Regulator
2 Turbonetics Godzilla BOV's

I will be making all my own hot parts, and cold side tubing

I am going to run BS3, I thought about twins, but lots of 10.5 classes dont allow twins, also with this setup I will be able to switch turbos to fit into what class I want to run

I also just ordered my Air/water cooler today



Now we’re talking a serious race intercooler. This liquid intercooler features custom sheet metal end tanks, with Billet aluminum CNC machined 4” inlet and outlets. The inlet and outlets can be oriented in any direction. It also features CNC machined fittings for the water inlet and outlet as well. This large double core liquid intercooler will support 2400hp, and was designed for PRO 5.0 and unlimited class type racecars.

Hmmm....I thought "The Darkside" was labeled as N2O around here.

Anyhow, that looks like it'll be one hell of a project, and a hell of a lotta fun when completed!
