awesome...I love working on my car also. I cant wait till I get back to the states and spoil her. I'm going to go the same route as yours and do my own install on basic bolt on. I guess the Utec is working out for ya, just wondering if there's a big different if you were to go with AEM. Why are u running just 22psi why not 25? A little more fun dont hurt.... Thanks

 

Mark tuned it to 22lbs on pump so I didn't question it, I trust him. Honestly I went with a utec cause it did everything I wanted within my budget. I will eventually get an AEM. The only thing was that my utec didn't like the PTE 1000cc injectors I had while the Tampa Turbo's AEM did just fine in my car, kinda wierd. The car runs great and is smooth in normal driving.

 

sweet i have a out of state half brother with your car, as i have a rally red with their kit too. hope ya have fun with it i know i do every day.

 

Yeah man, the car is a totally different beast now. It's like when I first bought the car and was looking for reasons to go out and drive it around. Smacked my friend's roomate with a bpu supra the other day on pump gas with bpclements in the car. I'm havin a blast with the new setup. Thanks for helping me out and answering all the questions I had man.

 

if you hear the turbo spinning after you shut it down for that long wont the oil thats in the turbo get really effing hot?

The turbo is water cooled as well.

 

Yep they must I have had nothing but good experience with the Shearer product.

And Ron is a good guy too. He has gladly answered all my questions. He even has kept in touch with me and has asked how the mani is holding up and how my car is running. Mark even set my drop light on my manifold melted the plastic on one of the runners and left a mark. Ron sent me a link to some buffing/polishing wheels to take care of it. Two thumbs up for shearer.

 

ya and every time anyone sees my manifold comments about how nice it is is all i hear for about 10mins.

 

I find it funny that Mark did that. I did the same damn thing earlier this summer, except I leaned on a manifold with my forearm. It felt real good. I'm sure some burnt skin is easier to clean up than melted plastic though.

 

LOL yeah he tried to blame it on paul too.

Looks like me and woodside got a friendly competition going to see who can get into the 10's on the 50trim first. My money is on him cause he's got a qtr mile track closer to him and mark says my man can drive, but I ain't no slouch either. Competition should bring out the best in both of us.

 

well if it makes you feel better i was um "kindly" asked to leave and not to run anymore at etown after my last pass even with me slamming on the brakes. but i still have 2 other tracks to get kicked out of semi near me =)

 

How is that catch can working for you? I have the same one I just havent installed it yet.

 

The catch can is not working at all....LOL
Not enough oil to make it a foot into the lines, guess that's a good thing though

 

ive been looking but haven't found if u had any motor work done; pistons, rods or anything of that nature. so do u have any of that in mind or just gonna make 500whp till it blows up.
