Re: 91 200 20v Race Car Portland OR

I wonder if it makes sense to just go with a reman like this instead of trying to source a used one

Looks like some nice upgrades.

Re: 91 200 20v Race Car Portland OR

Phil,
Thanks i appreciate the time to help me. Suspension has been the real issue with this car. The first leagues we raced it in wouldn't allow us to change the suspension, even the springs, so with the weight loss it was just horrible. We are still running the orignal front struts, they are the ...

Jimmy,
Your car is amazing, i've read through the build post in the past, absolutely love it! Thanks for your tips. I've seen the thread on here about the universal ground control plates looks really good, i wonder if the fab kit is still available. KW would be really nice, do you know if anyone ...

I've just been collecting parts. I didn't race it this year, but I did the previous year. I never could get together all the parts I wanted so i might change my plans a little with it. I'm waiting on a new place to do the work.

Re: 91 200 20v Race Car Portland OR

Chris I think that you are right that the EFR 7163 is the best turbo, they question just comes down to money. I think that I'd be into that turbo for $2200, investing that type of money would make me want to spent a lot more on the supporting mods. This year I'm looking to step up but that might be ...

I have the opportunity to buy a used 15K mile gt3071 for $500 or a gt3076 for $600. I'm thinking of purchasing the gt3076, seems like a good deal and a pretty good turbo for what I'm doing. Any thoughts are appreciated. The 76R has a Garrett .82 A/R ...

Chris,
Do you think that the Treadstone TRV25 is a little to much for me. It's rated at 1000hp and is pretty big, the bumper would block most of it. What about this one http://www.treadstoneperformance.com/product.phtml?p=68302&cat_key=63&prodname=TR82+Intercooler+500HP would fit ...

Re: 91 200 20v Race Car Portland OR

Taking a look at the Borg Warner turbos vs the Garret turbos. Borg Warner is much cheaper or at least I've found some deals. Does anyone have experience with the BorgWarner AirWerks line, particularly the S200sx products. Nearly half the price as a Garret BB of similar specs, built for racing. They ...

Hi,

we have several harness options. the vems "80%" harnesses are not a bad start but still require some work to complete. I have them in stock as well as the ecus. we're open 9-5 M-F EST, if you leave a message after hours I'll return call. We get lots of super annoying robo calls so no voicemail ...

I'm configuring the vems to order it right now. Does anyone know what the 1 wire interface option is about? Also 2 knock sensors vs 1 I would think, single EGT, 400kpa, hall for the primary and secondary trigger I'd assume if I use the distributer, let me know if I'm wrong. Also I'm going to order ...

Re: 91 200 20v Race Car Portland OR

Looking at the Xona turbo's they are probably out of my price range. The Borg Warner EFR turbos look real good and are priced less then the Garrets, at least what I've seen on websites, this might be the way to go. Treadstone intercooler looks really good, priced nice, I think that I'll lock that in ...

Re: 91 200 20v Race Car Portland OR

No, keep the 3b head. It makes no difference once you are on vems other than your cam synch signal will come from the (otherwise) not used distributor rather than the trigger up by the cam gear like on the aan head.

I will weigh in soon with my opinions on the rest of this when I get a minute ...

Re: 91 200 20v Race Car Portland OR

I'm confused how you are going to put a huge turbo, upgraded internals, full coilover suspension amoung other things and not be killed when you get to tech. Seems to me they will hand you a hundred lap penalty for pulling up with a car like this.

Edit, I see you are doing a different series. I ...
