The car’s only making around 350whp. I’m getting it retuned next week @ Synapse (thank god I can be RWD by pulling a fuse) because it’s running pig rich.

And I believe an IC coupler blew off last night. =(

Cossey, what’s the benefit of running the custom intake manifold with the Q45 style throttle body instead of the stock with the individual butterfly valves in each runner?

The owner before me planned on going big turbo. The ITB’s REALLY limit things up top when the car starts making serious power. The single 90mm throttle body is much more beneficial to the system.

I agree, some moderate twins would be sick. Would not go big single on that car.

very cool. Do the math and figure it out before you buy. Eric/redroof put together a real good article on choosing compressors and there is a ton more information out there that takes time to sort through, but you won’t be kicking yourself once you make the big purchase.

Oh I know. I’m just gonna be going with something that’s been done many a time that I know is a reliable, quick setup with good power levels.

I’m gonna be different and say screw twins! There are lots of new turbo options out there now that can push almost 800whp with 61-61mm compressors. Pair that with a twin scroll exhaust housing and manifold and you will have a great powerband and much simplier setup.

Badass car tho!! I saw 2 r34 gtr’s on my 5 mile ride to work this morning btw…but i imagine its pretty rare up there!
