292kph in the standing mile is equivalent to what the Ruf RT12's have run in the Texas Mile. Outstanding job

OEM pistons ?, are OEM pistons modified or not really a long term option, if so think how many ended up in the trash when they were good enough all along.

Great job. I'm interested in the fabricated intake manifold, any detail pictures? Is there any internal baffling where the centre feed comes into the plenum, or is it just open. Did you bell mouth the plenum plate or use ram tubes?

Main idea installing vent, between intercooler and radiator, was to get more air for radiator. We didnt have any problem with intake air temp because we use water methanol injection.

Intake manifold is not built by us, we were short of time in the beginning of season. So i dont have any pics. Design is same as lyndseyracing manifold. We are going to build a new one for next season.

Plans for next season.....

add some boost

new intake manifold
bolted roll cage
braking parachute (for top speed competition)
repaint the whole car

Thanks

, the reason for my interest is I have to make a decision about pistons and most people say S2/968 pistons wont last long with a turbo, what's your secret ?.
