Ok, I am on the final throngs of my twin turbo conversion. Everything is installed and ready for start but I need to talk to someone who has finished a e-manage instulation on ANY car. I have some questions regarding initial software parameter setup. Dan

Forgot to mention the reason I went the TT route. I wanted larger torque numbers and HP to come in at around 3,700 rpm with smooth transition. The Aerodyne is also lagless and will not require a oil sump pump. None of this will be worth anything unless the tunning goes well. There are many ways...

His name is Gerry Johnson and he lives in Stocton, Ca. His current setup is at 15 psi and he has ALL the internal mods you can think of powered by a single Garett with the air/air intercooler mounted on top of the engine and controlled by a stand alone ECU. I bought his Bell TT kit and revamped...

Just finished the nose job on my 91. This is a Science of Speed hood and it turned out VERY nice. This is the best fit I have seen for a aftermarket hood yet. Dan Tobie http://www.scienceofspeed.com/products/exterior_performance_products/NSX/ScienceofSpeed/JGTC_GT500-style_hoods/GT500_hood.jpg...

I did it my self but have heard of two bad experiences out there. You need to grind a small vice grip needle nose plier to clamp the shaft and pry the indicator needle off. Calibration is a mother also. Warm the car up and mark all the indications inc idle rpm. Also, get a rpm reference at...

Auyone that has a Bell twin turbo kit, I need to know if the Aerodyne will hold up to track abuse. Planning on air/water intercooler and Greddy e-manage to improve system. Dan

Chris has a winner here. I just picked up the new two scoop GT hood from SOS and am very happy with the fit and style. You need to spend a little time to get the gaps even (about 1/64" here and there) and scuff the surface for paint. I have seen several high end Japenese CF hoods and the R+M and...

Just ran a Sears Point event with a temp probe straped to the oil filter. A 65 deg with moderate abuse of the engine came up with 220 for the high with a mean of 218F. Almost ALL race teams I have talked to (inc. realtime) use 240F as the limit temp. Mark J tested several cars at a So Cal event...

At first glance I thought it was a roll bar for the engine then somthing out of gunkyard war's. I do a lot of prototype work on my car and I can appreciate all the work that Larry put into this project. My main concern is the heat buildup on top of the engine and around the exhaust lines with no...
