Jon Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The housings are modified T3s, this is to work with the MOI of the smaller wheel. It keeps spool time within an acceptable range. When used in conjunction with the AMS1000 in the car, it should be very respectable. They were CNC'ed to provide the flow characteristics that I wanted. They should support about 720 HP each as long as my abacus didn't lose any beads during the calculations. Right on. I just emailed Comp Turbo and asked them if they could do some 60-65mm T3 or T4 oil-less turbos. That would be a sweet and fairly easy rear mount build. I'm not sure if STS would sell just the piping and intercooler, but if not Clay Forrester could handle the fab work for me if he's not too busy with other builds.

Two Fangs Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Sounds like a good idea for a build. I am not sure if you re familiar with this upstart, but RPM (Redline Performance Manufacturing) build my charge pipe, and dude, they did great work. They did not have the car and it fit perfectly. www.rpmheaders.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not have the car and it fit perfectly. www.rpmheaders.com I'll check them out. STS just quoted me $4400 for the hot/cold/intercooler/blow off/wastegates. That seems a bit steep to me.

Two Fangs Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 It is a bit steep, but every kit pays for a piece of the initial R&D, so there is more to it than just pipes and coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm going to spend that kind of money I would rather have a custom system that fits tight to the car and has minimal silicone joints. I'm thinking of cancelling my extended warranty, getting that money, and doing rear mount twins. Leave it at 7 or 8 psi until I feel like building a forged motor worthy of 20+ psi. I still have an LS2 block, H-beam rods, studs, double roller timing chain, Comp pushrods, and other LS parts laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Fangs Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 I hear you. Sounds like a good plan to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I popped by to see El Superbeasto today. Here is HD video proof that the Joker has a nastier car than Batman. http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid227.photobucket.com/albums/dd181/ted_yoder/2012-05-12_12-19-05_979.mp4 http://s227.photobucket.com/albums/dd181/ted_yoder/?action=view¤t=2012-05-12_12-19-05_979.mp4 Saw water coming out the tail pipes...Is that water injected? J/K Sounds nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Found a bone stock bottom end 99 FRC putting down 810rwhp with one Comp oil-less turbo. http://www.unleashed-performance.com/unleashed-810whp-turbo-c5-project/ Something else interesting is he used the 85mm truck MAF pre-turbo in a draw through setup.

Just trying to keep the greenies happy Found a bone stock bottom end 99 FRC putting down 810rwhp with one Comp oil-less turbo. http://www.unleashed-performance.com/unleashed-810whp-turbo-c5-project/ Something else interesting is he used the 85mm truck MAF pre-turbo in a draw through setup. Draw through allows for more headroom in the MAF, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Everything about that car makes my heart go biddy-bump. It doesn't make my heart go "biddy-bump" but it does give me a "bump" in my happy place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
