Default Not that I needed it, but.................

My car now has a GT30-12 installed along with Perrin 850cc injectors and fuel pump. Nate's gonna tune it with the Stock Intercooler to see how it does. Right after he's installing a Perrin FMIC. With any luck I'll pick it up on Friday or early next week.

The new exhaust (Greddy EVO2) sounds awesome. Much quieter, but deeper. It didn't raise any concerns at Laguna where they were measuring for anything in excess of 90dB from around 50 feet from the track.

It should be pretty rediculous!

Hopefully this afternoon we will have the numbers with the stock intercooler. The Perrin intercooler is supposed to arrive today. Then they will dyno it with that monster in front tomorrow or early next week.

Speaking of which, Mike K are you going down to Sac on Monday?

Ya, Monday morning to drop my car off to Nate, Tuesday afternoon to pick it up. Do you need something picked up/dropped off there?

FYI, Mike, we may have some parts that Tyson and Nick (with the RS) ordered, if you wouldn't mind taking them back up the hill next week.

Yes..............me, possibly on Tuesday if that would be OK. I'll know more tomorrow. If the FMIC is late then I will probably just need to go later in the week, but as of today, Tuesday looks great.

That would be great if you could pick up my sway. I'll have to give Nate a call. You can call me when you get back. I'll PM you with my number.

My car blew up on the dyno! No one was hurt, but it is a mess. Probably should have just stuck with it as it was.

Oh no :shock:

Glad everyone is okay. How is your car? Salvagable?

Certainly salvagable, but the block is gone as are the heads and the new turbo..............this sucks. I'm just glad no one was hurt. Nate said it was a pretty exciting/depressing event.
