Damn nice work you got there. The color - ironically, makes it look more muscular than the other yellow, black, and white ones I've seen so far and the lack of a wing makes it that much easier to appreciate its form. Interesting considering that the ITR has the shaved mouldings and such where as the non-R's don't. Got any more snaps of it? That second pic from the top is the one that brings it home IMO.

It's weird cuz I've always liked the wingless look in the first place... he he. The only pictures I have left are the assembly:

 

Yeah, that's purty. Like watching some slo0t getting dressed while peeking through her window, lol. Good **** man and sorry to the ITR's who's thread I may have just derailed, lol.

 

va beach....I miss home....Newport News...three more years and Ill be back with my caRRRR. nice ride by the way.

 

now are all you guys running stock compression?
10.6:1 or 10.2:1?

 

I'm running stock compression 10.6.1

 

Awsome pics and setups

Cant' wait to get my Hype Arrr boosted

now you been in a turbo car with low compression, is there any differences? Beside just running more boost?

Lag and low end drivability. Depending on turbo size and such.

 

i never had lag or low end driveability with any of my set ups.

so the only downside of running high compression is High boost. Whats everyones high boost setting on pump gas??

 

High compression and boost is a great thing just make sure you tune it since the error level is lowerd with high compression.

 

not only high boost, but more so of margin or error and power to be made on pump gas with higher compression. The higher compression its harder to tune out ping on pump gas. with more octane and a better tuner they can make it easier, but there is always that margin of risk, higher compression with some detonation doesnt take it as well as lower comp and light detonation. . . .or so i hear

I have run a low boost with 10.6:1 stock bore fully built motor setup and a low compression 9:1 2.0l setup... Low compression with higher displacement is more to my liking.. No low end power or lag issues... Car hits harder and is easier to tune on pump gas...

excatly what i wanted to know. because my build as of right now is 2.0ltr 10.5:1 compression turbo. I think i might just throw a .120 head gaskets and make it 9.2:1 and run that. I think im going to Do both actually. Run the 10.5:1 and then the .120 and find out which one i like better.

 

i luv R's

 

I'm at stock compression and 10 PSI on a GReddy kit. I've done 3 days of HPDE and my compression is starting to suffer in #1 and #3 cylinders. Not sure if it's valve or ringland. I ran lean once at my last HPDE (out of gas) and EGT's went sky-high, like 1900... I got off of the gas after 1-2 seconds, but still.



I've got 2 more days of HPDE Oct 30/31, we'll see how my compression is after that!

 

I am runnin inline pro's 3mm head gasket in mine it has lasted 2 years and has 90k miles on the stock internals. I run .9 bar(11-12psi) daily and 1.1 bar(15.5-17psi) on 114/93 octane mix

 

my stock motor blew after 6500 miles. but the power was somewhere around 370whp without a hole in the charge pipe

you had that many miles on it? i thought you just put it on recently, damn you drive alot. and the numbers i saw was 290ish, now you made 370whp with a busted charge pipe? gotta get your story straight man

 

Pete I believe he drove the car to the expo thats where all the miles came from, and not sure about the est on the hp, though if he made 290 with a quarter size hole in the charge pipe it could be very possible.

 

He made 290 with a busted charge pipe, but before the hole in his charge pipe he trapped 12X, I'm pretty sure full interior teg, which is more like 350-370whp than 290whp.

Sounds hard to believe, but I see no reason why Jordo would lie. . .

 

Yeah thats a good point trapping 120 should be around 350 since I see you were making around 350 or so and were also trapping 120 Pete.

 

ive put about 10000 miles on my motor so far...

 

pete you are always out to bust my chops

292whp was done on a mustang dyno when i had a huge whole in the charge pipe, you can see the boost coming out in the video..

We calulated the tq into a equation, it came out to be around 370whp.. if everything was prefect.. thats what the math problem said..

so im sorryed if i offended anyone by my wrong statements...

Ok so i made 292whp on a mustang.. ill tell people that.

I put 3500miles in town, and i drove 3000s almost exactly to expo
