Yes but I'm not sure how far Kan will take it. I might have to put him in a sleeper move until I get the number I'm looking for :fingersx:

I'd like to run a C4 soon but that's going to be down the road. I'll just enjoy the TII trans for now.

Wow....that's just crazy.

I didn't know you could run a turbo without a wastegate. ESPECIALLY when the turbo is that large.

mikewoodkozar 01-09-08 03:57 PM

^ yeah, how does that work?

frode 01-09-08 07:01 PM

simple. it just boosts whatever it can and makes huge power. its a top secret trick :D :D

I was just kidding, it will have a wastegate and bov when it's time to get tuned.

MattG 01-29-08 02:43 AM

Taking a break from it, it's just way to cold to be wrenching on a car.

85 degrees today and damn it was hot on Easter- record setting 93degrees. Gotta love the OC.

Starting to get motivated again. I just need the cooling system installed so I can fire it up. I bought a small radiator last week, CSR Water Pump yesterday and will pick up a Meziere Pump Adapter tommorow. So, this weekend I'll be fabbing up the radiator mount to get it installed. Only thing left is the high dollar -16 an fittings and hose.

Oh, I picked up a built C4 transmission last weekend. It has B&M shift kit, reverse shift patterns, rollerized gearset, hardened input shaft, hammer shifter, alto red clutches and PCT converter. Does anyone have a 2nd gen Auto Bellhousing, Starter and Flexplate they want to give away ? :)

Fabbed up a radiator mount and got it installed. I'll get the adapter and electric waterpump installed next weekend. Rad is kinda close to the turbine, so I'll need to make a nice heat shield for the turbo.

There weren't too many places or positions to put that radiator. So, that's where it will live. :) Hey, if the hondas can do it, why can't I ? :lol:
