Yeah exactly.... acceleration = adrenaline = fun

I'm pretty good with foot and brain traction control to, that is unless it's wet lol.

I do not plan on driving my car at all when it rains. The car will be a TOY and will only be driven on nice days when it is not too hot out. Also as I stated earlier in the thread I will be on 2 tunes depending on how much FUN I want to have. My car is an original GSR and it was night and day when I swithced over to the 98 spec Type R tranny that I have now.

Where are you getting your information from???? Itr gearing is shorter then that of a gsr even with a 4.4 final drive. With a 4.7 its even shorter. Meaning at your sufgested power level you will be running thru the gears faster than you can find traction. Also boosting in fifth os never a good idea. Gearing is closer to a 1:1 and it puts too much stress on parts like bearings rods and sleeves. Do it if you want but youve been warned.

2000GSRTypeR

I KNOW that my 98 spec JDM Type R tranny is geared shorter than a GSR tranny which translates into better/quicker acceleration. Also this is mainly going to be a STREET car. Yes, I will be taking it to the track but as I stated this car will see more street than drag strip sir.

I love those transmissions, especially in mountain running and time attack. These are one of the best accelerating methods around, even for turbocharging with the smaller mid-framed turbo sizes. "shifting" is never a bad thing. That means more control and paying more attention to the behaviour of the car. Even drag racing aficionados use a slightly bit of higher gearing to go into the "fat" part of the powerband after each shift. There's a reason why these were done on even good NA applications.

Good choice.

2000GSRTypeR

Thank you sir, now all I have to do is save up the money so that I can get the Wolverine from you and the rest of the parts that I will need for my turbo kit. I just want to get the motor up and running first so that I can work out the bugs if there are any before I turbocharge it. I should be getting my head back from the machine shop any day now. Hopefully I will have her up and running in the next couple of weeks.

When you "ease off the gas" arent uou defeatin the purpose of acceleration?? Smh good look with the build. I just see alot of traction issues in your future but heyy what do i know.

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

he'll be fine.. 2000GSRTypeR is referring to acceleration based upon recovery in between gears. Its a bit more than just WOT. He's looking at partial throttle acceleration.

d16z6Tcrx: no one is saying you don't know anything... you just may not be familiar with his kind of requirements.

2000GSRTypeR

Thank you sir but I think that you are missing the point that this will mainly be a STREET car.

2000GSRTypeR

I am still waiting to get my head back from the machine shop but I was just wondering what is the best procedure to break the engine in? Should I use non detergent oil for the first warm up?

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

yes. convetional oil is to be used during break in. Your procedure may change if you change your camshafts as well. (depending upon camshafts.)

2000GSRTypeR

Thank you sir. The Skunk2 Tuner1 cams that I have are used.

rich7777

I have a zinc additive what I'm going to be using as well during break in.

TheShodan

shame. I had a brand new set for cheap..

2000GSRTypeR

I know but I bought them a good while ago sir. I bought the Skunk2 Tuner1 cams a couple of weeks before the GSC T1 cams were released. I am very interested in seeing Natural Aspirations dyno comparison of the 2 cams. No matter the results, I will be sticking with my Skunk2 Tuner1 cams as I already have them.

TheShodan

no need to change. I wasn't even suggesting it... Let's get that thing on the road.

2000GSRTypeR

I can not wait to get her up and running sir! All of my friends and myself are excited to see how the Wolverine will perform on my GSR as they never heard of the Wolverine before.

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

Haha. Many of the best things out there, few people have heard of. That's with anything good.

THey're going to look at the housings of this turbo and go... "Man!! That's IT?!?!". "You waited all that time for this little thing?

Then, when you whoop on that a$$ like Calidad did on those two bikes, they'll be quiet. Ask GhostofNYC, he won in races the money he paid for his surfer years ago, (which is still running to this day) because of people going with that same assumption..

Here.. Just to get your mouth watering.

mac what's the specs of this smaller turbo?
I thought it was a sub 450whp turbo... just a tad smaller than the SS.

2000GSRTypeR

Haha. You are ABSOLUTELY correct sir! I have a couple of friends that are die hard Precision turbo fans and they keep on trying to tell me to get a billet wheel 6262 and that it is cheaper and probably better than the Wolverine. So I keep on telling them that I highly doubt it as Mac aka TheShodan is the man and the Wolverine is the better choice for me and my street car. I can not wait to go home and drool over the pic of the Wolverine that you posted above as my work computer blocks most pics. Please feel free to post as many pics of the Wolverine that you have in my thread sir. I will greatly appreciate it and it will also help motivate me.

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

See?!?!? Perfect example of someone already being deceived by its looks . The wolverine is actually larger than the silver surfer by over 3lbs/min. I'll PM you the info on it, since its been on here already.

Lol

So 2000gsr you did order the wolverine?

2000GSRTypeR

No, not yet but hopefully soon I will have a Wolverine to call my own. Haha.
