Yeah i'm on spring pressure right now (7-8psi) and it feels like much more than that, its pretty nuts.

It's a custom paint made by Tri-city paint in San Diego. It's called "GP220"

Lance, they look like discontinued Defi D Gauges.

Darren, DEI sells a fire sleeve that comes in black..... identical to the orange ones, but much easier on the eyes

Nice work. I have scene the car at the shop tons. I think my car has been in and out then in and out and yours has been sitting waiting to get finished. Glen does great work and im very pleased with my build.

I had the black FD all stock that got a complete rebuild, single setup, and Feed bumper and hood. I dont know if you saw it...?

I cant wait to see yours and Glens car running. Both on E85!!!! I am tuned on it and i think i was onw of the first full built AZRR cars to run on it. We ran out of gas so Glen learned a lot about E85 and its requirements.

Anyways keep us updated on the build. I need your fuel setup so i can run 26lbs and reach close to 500hp.

Glen told me about the tune, he absolutely loved e85. I may have caught a glimpse of your car, but I can't remember if I did or not. There was a black one there for a bit, not sure if it was the same one or not.

What single turbo are you running?

The car was there from jan/08 to feb/09. He does love e85 and i cant blame him. I just wish we did bigger lines when we did the fuel system. I have the injectors and pump just too small of lines.

I am running a garrett T04s with a T3 hotside. I get great spool on the street. We started with a street port rebuild on stock twins and the build has gone up ever sense. Going for around 300hp to 500hp. Big difference but the car has the capability to do this. But I want to run my 320-340hp at 12 lbs for the street. I dont think i need much more just want to say I have 500hp on reserve for when i really need it.

Fuel system mocked up in the car



And this is a board to which the fuel system will mount, its designed to sit in the hatch area and replace the carpet. It's light weight board, and carpeted.



I'll post pics of the installed setup when I get them!

I'd recommend using Glen's method. Tracing is easier than taking measurements, all the hard work has already been done when the carpet was designed
