Project Taurus, Engine ready Options

[delusionz]

I kept the standard W2A intercooler setup, from what everyone on this site says, is the best setup.

However at a recent GT4 meet I found all the guys who have changed to a regular FMIC all say there is no loss in the low end and major gains from the mid range up.

I was actually shocked when I looked at mine how restricted it is inside there to be honest, I'm thinking maybe a frozenboost item may be the way to go?

Hi,

unfortunetly i'am not really using a standart setup
- jabsco 80L/h pump
- TTE group a spec intercooler
- and now the new front radiator

your WTA intercooler is restricted? or your air to air?
what is a frozenboost item? -> liquid nitrogen or ice cubes? -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJR62vsAg-0

Hi,

small subjective report, the performance is constant up to the may rpm. like a cool day in spring or fall

but nothing is for free, i have ~5°C higher oil temp. against the oem pre-rad, so the oil can raise up to ~100°C whe i drive hard

looks like the next mod will be a street under panel, to get more air out of the engine bay

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks, me too i also want to see it finished, it could be hard but in front of some personal changes i changed from a long time step by step build to a target time project
which is (late) summer 2012. we will see there is a lot of parts buying, development and building left.....

Damn... fingers crossed mate. I know it is not easy to hold big project and finish it on time.

Hi Martin,

thanks

Hi,

some things are done, i bought a cheap used TRD gauge cluster surrounding becouse a little bit bling bling is allowed





one of my targets for this year was to adjust the rear suspension but after 16year no toe adjusting was possible any more so i deciced to buy a set of pu-bushings, worked out the whohle arm and pressed in ne new ones, for that you have to dismount the longitude arm, the problem was the bolt when i opened him the whole bolt with the buching turns which means i destroyed it so i also had to pu-bush it but i doesn't want to dismount everything so i build a tool for that work









it works perfect and when it becomes to strong just heat it a little bit, but just to press the old one out

Hi,

a modified underpanel with the target to raise the air flow trough the radiators and the engine bay





a small plate to protect the gearbox radiator connectors



tomorrow i will mount a fire-extinguisher, and then it is enough for this year

One of the best build threads out here. Impressive. 400whp? haha

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks, 400whp could be hard to arrive in front of the 4WD and his drivetrain loses, but i'll give my best to get the maximum out

[ricochet1490]

haha by the looks of it you are definitely trying to get everything out of it that's for sure. keep it up!
