I definitely didn't mean to overlook you, Jim, in my SPA overview. I know that twin turbo can be a contenda at a track like WGI.jimmacsrx7 wrote:I have some hp,less torque, no downforce, skinney tires,stock sway bars,and 15 y/o rubber bushings but i have fun
Joel, i saw Greg's car in the bmw club racing classifieds listed for 85k
Long live the rotary!!!!

Do we know what Greg is driving now- or has he come to his senses and moved on to another hobby?

No thanks, the motor has survived a lot of abuse with credit given to keeping the revs down. I was actually thinking of getting an MSD box so the spark was what did the limiting instead of the crazy way Ford does it with turning off the injector pulse. Besides, I would have to learn to use a Tweecer to get rid of the current limiter.offcamber09 wrote:John, that factory rev limiter can be removed- if your motor needs to pull higher than that.John F wrote:EFI, though, so limited to 6250 rpm.
Dyno Jet numbers with 3:55 gears
As an aside, the GT40 intake work terrific with a blower

Ha Scott, i am dynoing the Porsche next Friday. Speeking of sandbagging, i have some real oil consumption issues going on! Trying to keep up with James last year has probably taken it's toll. Last year my car did about 295 RHP @6000 and 270 RWT. Not bad for a 4 banger ha? The dyno guy said you lose about 15% after the crank. As you know, the driver makes alot of diff. My big problem is the bigger turbo i put on. It doen't kick in till about 3000 rpm. NHMS is a nightmare for me. Watch out for Brian S. He had the mustang suspension done at a speed shop down south. Some guy Craig knows bought Greg Reeds car and will be joining us this year. I heard he had it detuned, whatever that means. Looking forward to seeing all you guys at the Glen. Except you of coarse. (: Just kidding!

Back when I was doing taekwondo, and breaking stupid boards, they'd always tell me to aim for a few inches behind the board. If the board breaks, less damage to your foot/hand.chaos4NH wrote:Hhhhmmmmm, 350Z with blower = goes deeper into ponds and hits walls harder than STI. Go easy there Raj!rajito wrote:Hey hey! Welcome back, Mario! So who wants to supercharge the Z for free so I can run SPA with you clowns?

Therefore, my goal is to have enough horsepower to go THROUGH the wall next time, thus incurring less damage.

Re: SPA Wars
Great to hear you'll be at the Glen- Mario! Your turbo is just spooling up when my V8 is starting to gasp for air...talk about different ways for making power. I also keep hearing about Brian's 'Stang with the new Griggs supension- should be interesting.mario a wrote:Ha Scott, i am dynoing the Porsche next Friday.

Detuning Greg's old car probably means taking out the lexan windows and running in SPA. The more the merrier!

Nice to have you back in circulation Mario!
Scott's been nice enough to let me drive his car at the Glen while mine is laid up. Based on this arms race shaping up in SPA, it may be the only time I'm in it all year
