I brought my car home.

It runs. Pretty well even.

Got the AEM installed and some 880 injectors.

we actually ran out of fuel pump.

So... I guess I now need twin supras or just say 'eh, screw it' and get a safety tank made up with a bigger pump mount on the bottom.

and bigger fuel lines.

and a fuel pressure regulator.

and prolly a new ignition system.

and a better intercooler.

oh, and I should prolly build the engine.

and something other than stock heads.




but Lisa wants the car to stay running for a while, so I will probably just drive it. Maybe make a gathering or two this up-coming summer. I haven't done that in a coons age in my stealth.

so. yeah. Single turbo for the win, I guess.



EDIT: Forgot to say. LSE Performance. good bunch of guys. I reccomend them. www.lseperformance.com or 763.427.9800

Excellent. I kind of figured you would need to upgrade the fuel system. What's wrong with the intercooler, not efficient enough or too much pressure drop.

I knew I would need bigger injectors, but I did not anticipate needing a bigger pump, fuel line, and FP regulator. At least on pump gas. We were only going to through some 750 injectors at it when we decided to calc the fuel needs somewhere on this forum at one point in time.

We ended up going with 880s.

The intercooler is not effiecent enough. apparently the temperatures are sneaking up a bit. Josh and Jon told me to pick one up with more fins per square inch, and what not.

The intercooler is the only part of my car I e-bay'd. I guess it shows huh? So remember kiddies, you get what you pay for. E-Bay is great for some things, but don't let it be the weak point in your system.

I'm still happy with it, though. and for 200 bucks, I can live with 'only' 20 psi on pump... (and stock heads... and engine... and ignition system...)

Glad to hear you decided to go to LSE. Josh and the gang really take care of their customers well. If you want, shoot me a PM and I can let you know more about my previous dyno #s there and give you some idea as to where your car stacks up if you're curious as to how much power it's really making.

For what it's worth, I decided to go back BACK to LSE this coming weekend where the car will undergo yet another metamorphesis over the next several weeks. The fun never stops and I trust those guys to get me where I want to be.

They do seem to be a bunch of decent guys over there.

That's how it goes....

I would love to have a smidgen of Josh's knowledge and skill. Maybe I should see if he wants a new mechanic.

Greg

You need to post the Taco story in the drag race section please

Meh, I'm too lazy to copy/paste that. Maybe one of our admins can move the thread...

So, adam which of my cars should I bring to the race? SOHC, DOHC or TT?
