nothing new to report on the shorty/head status right now but I did order and have on the way a fuel pressure regulator kit, there is some concern about two pumps running full time heating up the fuel too much so I'm not certain I'll do that...maybe that's a non issue. The real reason is that I want to get back to a normal fuel map. I can tune for twin pumps with a hobbs switch but you end up with a really funky fuel map. I'm going to be pushing the stock ecu/mas to the limit with the next round of mods so I want to get back to a less tedious and time consuming tune.

 

Don't forget the write-up on the FPR install! They're always great stuff.

 

will do, I'm sure theres a few people interested in what that's all about. I run one on my TT Stealth and it's very nice. The BR kit comes with a gauge so I can set the base fuel pressure which I assume is ~ 43psi without vacuum attached, I haven't looked it up yet but pretty much every boosted mitsu is the same.

 

did a little top speed run in the evo today

Time trial 2 video is up http://www.racevideoforums.com/forum...-coverage.html

 

the last two videos have been added, they are a the end of the time trials and then the dsm & evo eliminator classes...whew it's a lot of work editing 2 hours of solid race footage but I wanted to make sure we got some excellent footage to show people why they need to be there next year.

a few new things.

had to back track on the FPR..Buschur doesn't have the parts readily available to put it together for me so I'll have to look around for another solution elsewhere.

They did tell me my engine/head is shipping out next week so that's good and the AEM 5 bar pressure sensor is coming too.

A new set of slicks have arrived, haven't mounted or tested them yet but maybe this weekend.

I ordered a new turbo too...I can't say what it is yet as it's a bit hush hush but it's bigger than a 37R should be about as laggy but more power at high rpm.


so the HTA 35R turbo + 02 housing is for sale. I'm keeping the header/wastegate/fan/downpipe 1500 or best offer and I can't take it off until the new one arrives since it's my daily driver.

 

Can't wait for the new turbo Chris....

Just saw the vids and photos...Sick.....That one car with that enormous turbo, sheesh!

No babes?

 

well I had my wife with me

 

wow a bigger turbo! cant wait to see the car in action with that. good luck chris

 

thanks, I'm looking for a solid 100awhp over what the HTA 35R can do without inducing a ridiculous amount of lag.

 

your changing turbo Cris?

 

that's the plan, the quick spooling HTA 35R is nice but I want more trap speed than it can offer.

 

keeping the stock drivetrain for now?

 

How's the Stealth? She running healthy?

 

yes for now, I believe it'll be fine with my launch technique which is to lean on the clutch, get the car rolling then let the clutch out aggressively. That technique has allowed my stock transfer case/axles to survive in my 700awhp TT Stealth whereas other guys that dump the clutch explode gears out of the bellhousing and transfer case etc...and continually have to replace components.
