Hey George,
Let's see a pic of your big thumper of a car. The whole car that is. What do you say?

Chad - is that " shagadellic " carpet in your living room ? You must have used the same decorator as Austin Powers and Saddam Hussein !

<strong>The Stage XXXXX thread was starting to become a little too long. The car will be at Infineon on Wednesday, June 11th for some acceleration times. In the mean time the new ball bearing compressor turbo housings have just arrived. They were delivered to the machine shop today for some additional modifications.

The following pictures show the GT-25's versus the new monster compressor side housings. The GT-25's dwarf the K-24's. The new housings dwarf the GT-25's. Yes, 660+ rwhp will be doable and streetable. Will they fit? <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" /> Anything is possible with S Car Go Racing.

Those things are as big as my heater blower motor. That gets me thinking. I'm not sure if I should try installing a couple of blower motors in place of my K24s, or install those turbos in place of my blower. I could get some REAL heat moving in the winter time.

the project just keeps getting crazier. You said you planned on stopping the upgrades and coming back to it in the winter. Does this extra work mean that you will also be doing the new engine this summer? How is the new engine coming along (build wise not in terms of installation)?

Finally, PLEASE post some updated pictures of the whole car. Maybe you can take some photos at the track on Wednsday!

Keep it coming buddy!

@cjv
I am wondering why didn't you went from the begining with our 4.6 L engine? This would give you much more HP and I am sure you will never have enough of them till you pass the 1000 HP
if you make 750 now you could have around 1000 HP with our 4.6 L engine. This engien makes as Normal Aspirated 500 HP, so imagine how many HP you could have with a Turbo engine;-)

just a thought

With the lag introduced by those large impellers and housings, I would expect rolling-start, clutch-engaged 5-60 times to be between 4 and 5 seconds, and 5-100 to be between 8 and 9 seconds. Is this what you're seeing?

Chad,
Does that mean you'll have the bigger turbo's installed by then??

cjv,

I think these turbos are the same or very similar to what wilber has on his car, aren't they?

Lag? What lag? I was sitting in the seat holding back and waiting for it to punch in, just like you sit back in the dentist chair waiting for that drill to kick in.... Only as soon as I lent back... POW... off we went! My pal's Supra has lag so believe me I know Turbo lag when I feel it and that was a suprise to me. It was an instant spool. Very impressive (in Darth Vadar's voice of course).

Bill S.

Sounds like you have no lag. But what are your 5-60 and 5-100 times starting with clutch engaged? These are useful street performance numbers that we can all use to compare with our cars.
