Hi guys (and gals),

I knew about this forum for a bit, but have not wandered over until now.

Hyde update: all my new mods far exceeded the cabilities of my mid-sized T3T4 turbo .... so it has been yanked.

By Tuesday I should have a brand-spanking new GT35r (500+ rwhp capable). We will only be loooking for mid-to-low 400s for now though.

Anyway ... hi :)

Kick ass, can't wait to spend my time at work looking at your new vids. :bigthumb:

Jesus. :eek:

Your mr2 is going to scream. Did you hear about the Metalex Motormorx (http://www.metalexmotorworx.com/projects/mr2/mr2.html) 817whp mr2. Check out the website, it has some good video's at the bottom.

Pffftt...400...what's that these days :disappoin




















:biggrin: You lucky SOB. Can't wait to see new vids of Hyde back in action. L8...

PWRDbyUNCLEbens, that MR2 you linked to is actualy the "Extreme Bost" car. It is avery impressive vehicle, it's just a shame he built it by taking screwing over dozens and dozens of customers all over the world. He is perma-banned from the MR2 board for his horrible business ethics.

As for the turbo I am getting, here's a little tid bit.
All of my racing happens above 4200 rpms, so low-end lag is not an issue.

Below is my last dyno from last summer (red graph) compared with a turbo MR2 with my set up with the addition of the turbo I just ordered (blue graphs).

Notice they intersect right where my racing begins :D .... how do you all feel about a torque curve going vertical? ;)

Jeff... dammit... why can't you leave that poor MR2 alone???


:lol:

Looks awesome man!

Wow, thats a drastically different curve! Definately spool late (compared to graphs of the 3S that I've seen), but you have a race car so its all good.

yeah ... it will be a little more of a putz driving around without boost, but I can deal with that.

The GT35 graph above was at 24 psi (what I was racing at last year). We are probably going to tune for 20 psi and see where that gets us.

If the engine survives the year, next winter I am going to be putting strong valve springs in to raise the rev limiter to 8000-8400 rpms and forged pistons to up boost to 27-29 psi.

We'll be searching for 500+ ... that is a ways away though. I need to survive this year first.

Good luck Jeff :bigthumb:

Ehh you get used to it, I have no top end boost capability right now because the plugs that came in the car are cheep Bosch and gaped too wide, starts to hesitate at only 4k :(.

Ehh..that'll save gas money

So are you running/going to be running race gas on a daily basis?

Aren't we all, but I think your a bit closer... :bigthumb: Good luck with it.

Thanks all,

Igovert, Hyde is probably going to be on a steady race gas diet as long as this engine is in there over 200,000 miles. I rarely drive Hyde on the street so this is not a big deal. Jekyl and Jekyl Jr. (for sale!) are what I susually drive around.

So what kind of times are you expecting now? Still gunning for 10s??

chevy I was hoping to maybe sniff 10s ... with this new turbo I will have the ability to hit 10s comfortably.

I do not expect to do this right out of the box.
I expect to have to learn to launch and drive the car all over again. This is going to be a healthy change.

No doubt. It will be like an entirley different car to ya now. However, it'll be alot easier to learn it this time around then the very first time you drove it!

I'm working on gettin myself a new set of slicks and provided everything is the same as it was at the last part of last year, I should be able to sniff out a 1.49 or so 60 ft, and that'd be at a track that just doesn't hook as good as most others and around 2000 ft above sea level.
