ah the rain is great dan.

nothing like a dreary f*cking 4th of july.

it better not rain tomorrow night. i've got an assload of fire works to light off.

my buddy picked up about $2000 worth of 3" mortars and various box arrangements and such. it's gonna put the city's fireworks to shame if the weather cooperates.

After a terrible week of anticipation I finally the car tuned with the hta35r on. It spools REALLY REALLY fast for a 35r and the little lag there is is barely an issue. 24 lbs hits at about 4400 and is solid all the way through 8000. It's amazing I couldn't be happier.

The only problem I have had so far is my damn lower IC piping. Every connection that a mystery someone tightened has blown off. Three of them were tonight on the highway in the pouring down rain! The one that connects to the bottom of the turbo came off twice and required me to jack it up, call for a flashlight and tools, and spend 20 mins fixing... while it was raining... then driving 1 mile and doing it again. Needless to say it was not the way I had wanted to spend the evening.

Until I get my rods and pistons (in the near future) I am at 420 hp @ 24psi on pump gas and around 500 on race gas. I will post a full writeup about the HTA35r as opposed to the stock turbo in the near future.

I also have 500cc injectors cheap if anyone wants them...

Use t-bolt clamps and if you want super stick, spray some hair spray on fittings fisrt. Then assemble, It woun't come apart then

Sounds like a very nice turbo set-up!

Guys, APEX SILVER with Bronze wheels or Gunmetal wheels? Which looks the best. I'm leaning towards the bronze. Other opinions?

I had to put the stock ones back on the lower but I have the t-bolt on the upper. I will be getting the t-bolts for the lower tomorrow. It totally blows to have to put those b!tches back on in the rain with my wife laughing at me.

I am still blown away with this turbo. I have never experienced anything like when it kicks in. t is amazing.

No need to change dates or whatever, if you can't make one, make the next one.

Post if you are attending the Waterfront Meet on JULY 19th - SATURDAY

Will we ever have a meet on a Sunday? I work every Saturday from march to November and am off every Sunday. I would definitely come if we ever had one on a Sunday.
