Pedro666 - Its a 5spd LSD that came standard on those cars(TRX etc.. ) I am running basic VMX80 Castrol Oil. Not sure how this would improve the performance but open to ideas of course. It shifts great already and the LSD works fine (I actually bought the box second hand off someone on here if I recall)
SR20ME - From what I am told the MPH indicates its got lots of horse power. Just lacking on traction. If you cover the distance quicker, in practice you reach a lower top speed. For example there was a guy there with a VL Turbo that ran 10.9 at 121mph. Thats only 13mph faster than mine. Not much at all really. Its acceleration that counts not top speed, so yeh better grip makes sense. Turbo specs are below.
Your right the Turbo conversion is not for those who give up easily and it certainly was not easy but now that I know what to do it would be quite easy. The power I have I reckon should be a 13.3 but yeh maybe a sub 2sec 60ft would just do that.
SSS - Here you go (below). And yes the Slicks are now over cooked but they werent heat cycled too many times when I bought them.... Only once before I got them from what I understand.. It is probably the weight of the rims and the low profile tyres killing it the most otherwise I would probably be doing 2.5 60fts
Boost control is a Turbosmart tee valve.. though I never thought of that.. definately something I could look at getting is the staged setup.. Really great Idea ! Thanks.
Turbo specs are below, my mate has run these turbos up to 20psi before they cark it. Its just the thrust bearing that gives way and they blow smoke. In fact I overheated one once on a previous set up and did the same thing. I am proabably going to sacrifice this one though as its not going to be worth anything used. May as well wind it up and blow it up and then get a new one or better one
Intercooler is quite large so I dont think the intake temps are big, it was actually tuned on 16psi but it overboosts to about 17psi...
The tuner also said to look at E85. They think that I need forgies, better turbo and E85.... as long as the box can handle it I should get 250 no problems. I think I might be the guinea pig with these hypatec pistons though. I read alot of good stuff about them and rarely here about people ( other that the guys who got the crappy ACL ones) with issues. Mostly its all about tuning which the tune is quite good and on the safe side. The tuner doesnt want to wind it up past 20psi unless I forgerise the bottom end, I reckong I should just wait till it breaks considering the cost of fixing it (not much) as opposed to redoing the motor.
Valve springs - When I spoke to the engine builder, he said that unless your going past 7000rpm he wouldnt bother, he thinks they are more for high revs as the force on them is squared after 6000rpm???
