Nope, I'm in Michigan. Dyno time is basically whenever I can get the IC piping fixed, and get the time/money to travel the 4 hours to do it.

Yeah, I haven't done much of anything as far as ignition goes, just set it back to stock (ran advanced when it was in n/a form), and then threw on the MSD. Running standard plugs, and haven't had much an issue at all yet. The only problem I have is, since the cars untuned it idles for ****/revs for **** when it's cold, simply because it's just flooding itself, but once it's warm it drives pretty good (considering I'm under 10:1 at almost any boost level)

Order some t-bolts from pte or some other random fitting company, they are expensive as crap but way worth the money because its almost impossible to pop a hose off held on by a t clamp. If you still keep blowing off hoses then try fixing the piping. Also what the heck are you doing in the cheesestate should your location now read ny,ma,mi,or, and wi??

I think it's safe for you to post your numbers now.

Yeah, I'm still interested in knowing what you ran with the car actually making it completly *DOWN* the track, where-*** mine **** the bed halfway each time. Was pissing me off when ever damn time i'd pull a run i'd have to limp off the coarse, hop out in the dark at the end of the track, put it back on, then hurry my *** off the coarse before i got shot.

I'm planning on using the T2 intake (if i can find it) or the S4 NA. I think the S5 intake is too complex for a turbo setup.
And yeah aaron, we need to know what you were running!!

The s5 intake can be used, however it seems that the s4 flows better. As it seems, dyno time might be pushed back due to the fact that I need to fix up my winter car (1G DSM AWD w/20g turbo), and i need to get the car painted before winter, and it just seems like I'm running out of money quick, especially with the GTUs supercharger project, which is on hold until I can figure out a way to mount the belts.

Doing the serpentine drivebelt setup for my Millenia supercharger was not too bad, I wish my camera worked now like before 
How bad is your intake pipe going to be? The supercharger I'm using has a large oval shaped inlet of roughly 6" across and 4" high, and I had to make a part to blend this cross section into a 2.5" ID circle, all the while making a tight U turn and clearing the brake booster, oil filter, and firewall. I finally finished this part and it's a downhill ride from here on out for me. The supercharger looks like a scorpion with the throttle body right over it, mounted on a 'tail' like inlet tube.

It's funny how an N/A RX-7 with intake and exhaust is quicker then a 1G Turbo DSM
.. don't get me wrong i had a 1G eclipse N/A b4 the rex and loved driving that thing around.. handled pretty well but when a turbo car pulls up beside you and asks if your cars turbo it's kind of a compliment Frank
PS (can't wait to get this thing boosted

It's pretty much the stock supercoupe setup, same outlet, same inlet. I just need to find a set of matching pulleys for the alt, crank, waterpump, and charger. I want to use the FD setup, but I can't seem to find a pulley for the alt that's as narrow, and finding any premade that are as wide as the stock SC pulley doesn't seem very easy. Any ideas? This is my only major hold-up at the moment.

It sux that my camera is broke right in the middle of one of the most unusual and significant projects of mine for my FC. The setup I came up with (with a lot of help from BlueTII) is unique to all other FC supercharger installations as far as I know, and a few levels beyond those I've seen when it comes to fabrication complexity.

The problem is, with my setup, I can't just run an idler and a pulley off the crank, it has to be on the waterpump as well, and I can't find any 8. If it was 6, I'd be done by now!
