Hey Rich, did you ever end up installing the Omni clutch master cylinder? If so, how do you like it sir? I actually just bought one for my car and it should be here by the end of the week.

No I never. I ended up getting a Exedy OE replacement (which feels the same as my OEM did). I'm happy with how it is...

Let me know how you get on with it please.

Will do sir but I have driven my cousin's Del Sol which I installed the Omni clutch master in about 3 years ago now and it is still going strong. As I stated before in your thread, it does make your pedal ALOT stiffer but I do not mind it. The reason I bought the Omni is because my OEM clutch master is on its way out.

Nah, I have a comp stage 4.The guy who is doing my dyno tuning has recommended that I purchase a new fuel pump (I currently have a Walbro 255 - he recommended me to purchase a 340).After that it's off to London I go for a tune.

You're to cheap to be true.

Btw don't you have id1000s and going to be on pump gas shooting for 400whp? I think your fuel pump would be fine.

The clutch is fine man, in fact I quite like it. I'd recommend it to others.

Yeah, I'll be using our pump PETROL which is 99 octane (Geez man, I need to give you a real English lesson sometime j/k ). The guy who is going to be doing my tuning recommended that I upgraded it just to be on the safe side. I might be shooting higher than 400whp. It depends on how I feel on the day and what my tuner recommends when we've gone over everything in full.

Are you still running stock driveshafts ? I've been told I should think about upgrading them as well ideally.

Your tuner is over cautious. The Walboro 255 is can WALK over 400whp, there's no need to change that out, really.. Most SUPRA guys used to run that turbo to 600whp.

I mean, if you just want to spend the money, sure, but for 99RON Petrol, there's no need to do it at all, you're more than fine. I'm still on one at over 530whp, and going strong.... For 7 years.

This ^. From what I'm told, guys who say the Walbro 255 can't keep up usually have grounding or power delivery issues where voltage to the pump drops significantly. I did a simple relay setup on mine to replace the puny factory wiring, and it never sees below 14v.

Did you set an appointment for your dyno tune yet sir? I am so stoked right now! I just received an email from Greg at GO-Autoworks and all of my parts that I ordered from him is shipping out today. The only parts that I am still waiting for to get shipped out now is the turbo and intercooler from Mac but I told him to take his time because you can not rush perfection. Haha. As soon as all my parts come in I can finally get the party started!

Glad too see things nearing completion. Thats pretty cool the place that is doing your tuning offer's training classes for dyno tuning.

In for results lucky you have 99 octane at the pump, but from my understanding gas is not cheap there. I guess on the contrary we have E85 here ( Limited tho) Do you guys have E85 over there?

Corn-based E85 is strictly in the U.S. Now the Brasilian Sugar cane version of Ethanol is available in a few more places world wide.


Damn. Rich... Courtesy cars available!??!?! I love it.

Not yet man, I'm going to call him sometime next week and see what Mondays he has free (Monday is the only day I can get someone to come down with me).

Sounds like everything is coming together. Just take your time, never rush...

I'm going to have to be honest here - Our 99 octane isn't what you'd class as "99". We have a different measuring system to you guys. I think your 91 is like our 95... or something like that. So maybe our 99 would be your equivalent of 96 (I'm sure they'll be a way of working it out). No, we don't have E85 over here. We have other BIO fuels though but from what I've come across they aren't readily available in the sense that you can just pull up at a petrol/gas station and fill up.

Haha, I'm sure they'll have a spare EVO knocking around that they won't mind lending out . I'll get plenty of pictures for you guys. Don't worry....

What's the spec of your setup ? Have you got a build thread up anywhere ? I've only ever picked up bit and pieces up about it.
