Does your ECU do rolling antilag?

Nice. The "pit lane limiter" on ms3 is great. Hold the button and it cuts spark and builds boost lol. I've been itching to dick around with it.

But yes, half mile events and I have a few buddies that have access to an air strip from time to time. |

So then the logical follow up: why not air to air?

ahhhh, that's right, you're probably going to seal off the whole front end for drag.
k I get it now |
800hp turbo on 400hp parts.
Curious what your budget is? Subscribing for the carnage! |

Cool stuff.
|
This looks like a party. Love the water to air cooler, so nice and tidy in the engine bay.
|
Are you going to be building cranes/support braces for all that stuff btw?
|
I had a similar thought, especially with all the water in there. Otherwise only the 2 manifolds would be supporting the weight. And that's a long manifold, I guess if it's sch80 stuff tho?
He must have some cool supports in mind, can't wait to see what they are. Lots of cool stuff there. |
Maybe it won't matter in the 20 odd seconds it takes to finish the 1/2?
|
There will be a support on the under side of the intercooler probably bolted to the block where the AC bracket used to be and curved around to support the bottom. It will probably be made of 1/2 steel rod.
A crane of sorts is also in the works for the turbo but a lot of fab guys have told me its not necessary. As long as there is a GOOD flex section in the downpipe not far after the turbo. |

Weld a standoff to the turbine housing and brace it to the engine block. Cranes don't do much. All OEM turbo systems I have seen bolt the turbine housing to the block and OEM's don't do what they don't have to. FWIW, the guys that do the Alpha turbo kits for Nissan GTR (T1?) spent the time to have CNC braces milled that use the turbine housing bolts to brace to the engine block... I would definitely consider bracing in the method that the oem/high end guys use. |
Ever considered that its done that way OEM because its cheaper?
