STI's are good cars, SRT-4's are decent FWD cars... but turbo's arent common... not like the 90's.

your drivers license!

Ill first use my t3/4 i have but it might be on the small side. so ill buy a BIG holset orso.

You have to understand that this blower even starts spinning when I blow compressed air from y air gun into the SC.
In reality it only need little boost to start helping it spin, or forcing it to spin actually.
On the other hand the SC will have to pull the air through the turbo making it spool faster!

My goal on this experiment is not the most horses .. BUT a linear flat power curve .. so basically and ideal torque track autox car ( in theory you should create a big block feel )
BTW im not planning on more 20 psi at first ( limitation due to 'stock' map sensor in MsS)
to reach 17 for instance i only need 7 psi from the turbo..

I think now its not who has a turbo, its who has the loudest blowoff valve. Seems like every srt4 I see has a bov that shakes the ground. And every supra has a bov that echoes for 10 miles.

Its not about the hP it is about the weight that it has to push and the handling of a car.. i know a 200 hp 700KG car that will outrun most cars on track with ease!

Um centrifugals are nothing but lag. You do not get full boost until you shift.. The power is crazy linear. Trust me I have 2. And If you are running from the "heaton" charger to the turbo definetly throw a small liquid/air intercooler in there to keep efficiency up on the turbo. Something like this wold be cheap and effective.

Yeah, I've seen Lindsey's THP's before and they would be stellar with N2O as a coolant gas...

I've also seen a CryO2 intercooler spray bar system converted to N2O and it generated an additional dyno measured 60rwhp and 72rwtq on an APS TT powered 350Z with ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER CHANGES to the vehicle.

I saw this test performed in person and the before/after passes on the dyno were almost exactly 8 minutes apart, so no measurable variation in ambient conditions skewed the test.

I may think about this on my other turbo car or the RB powered Z.

Anyway, on a turbo car, the cooler the intake charge, the better.

hey frank, im seriously considering this for my new 280Z so i was wondering. if i could supply you the mone, would you be able to remake your setup for me? well just the mounts for the S/C the flange for the pipe and the pulley setup? cause i unfortunatly have no fab skills or tools. also, what s/c is that? its pretty big. hope your on here soon.
