Remember the IC pipes are under pressure st a 2.25" pipe can flow 2 times as much at 15psi as it could a 0 psi, and 3 times as much at 30 psi....

I'm running 2.25" pipes from each turbo going to 3" then to the FMIC, then 3" to the TB.... But ya at this power level it's still probly too small

I think this set-up will still probly get me to my goal of 8.4@170mph

that intercooler is disgusting!!!!!!

are you going to have to have it sticking out of the bumper lol. i know my 4inch core i had to do quite a bit of cutting, cant even imagine tucking a 6 in there!

Only 8.4??? Or is that just the goal for now? Granted right now you don't have a lot of competition (Total Race in Russia, and... no one), but rumor has it that 3SX might start their race program back up if that new strip opens up. Then things might get more interesting again.

edit: Especially if Chris build T4 with a high-compression E85 motor. lol

only 8.4? man you drive a car with 4 slicks down the track at 170mph then tell me "only" The real driving starts at the end of the track.

8.4 will put me faster then the worlds fastest stick shift Supra.

I hope 3sx does start racing again, with all the work thy are doing with E85 over there I'v been Expecting T4 to be converted over to it and be running again.

Speaking of stopping, did you ever end up looking into getting a chute for your car installed.

A anything that beats a Supra is fine in my book.

Would it be even more benificial to spray the IC?
Or are those kits with a halo or piping of some sort and nitrous a waste of time/money?

I dont like the idea of spraying the IC with NOS because some of it would have to get into filters and into the motor seeing how the NOS would pass threw the IC, threw the RAD and under the hood were my intake pipes are.

I thought the same thing, but not being familiar with them i was not sure.

i said the same thing to a local guy with a STI that was spraying CO2 to cool his FMIC. i asked would that not hinder the amount of O2 going into your intake. he just looked at me kinda funny like i spoke in hyrogliphics or something.
