Well, with winter weather settling in WAY earlier then last year which I wasn't ready for, I'm setback(of course) with the SE-X project. Not bad though...I got a nice raise at work and I've been workign over time due to our busier holiday season...so I'm looking for some fat checks. Also, I am sending my motor back to Atkins(the core) for my refund...or I may just sell it...havent decided yet...more $$ will roll in to get the car on the road...insurance and such is gonna cost an ass load to now thanks to my prior convictions :(



HOWEVER, even with $$ and weather issues right now, I do still plan on going with the gt35/40 turbo and was curious as to what you all think about this on a 2nd gen...I know its a very popular setup for FDs, but hey..I own an FC and don't care what you FD guys think..just playin....i still love you all PLEASE DONT KILL ME, lol...I'm still looking for my goal of 430rwhp and I feel the gt35/40 w/ my current motor setup should be able to get me there...



thoughts?

good luck and wait till the summer, i think u can hit close to 430 with that

I hope so, lol...I mean I've looked at a lot of cars running similar motor build ups as mine w/ dif psi levels...with the 35/40...I think over 430 is possible, but not at a reliable rate as far as the motor goes...didnt get it pinned(maybe next time)

Trick will be getting someone who can tune the car.

Are you implying something? :smirk:

Rob x-7 12-09-2002 08:10 PM

Im only implying that alot of people think they can just download a map from someone and go out and make 450hp and have the car run well and the engine last.

rob, u must believe in the sandals

Rotaryman88 12-09-2002 09:28 PM

Lol....dont worry Rob...I'm not "a lot of people" and allbeit that this will be my first experience using the Haltech and rotary combo...but I'm not new to tuning cars with computers....I have reprogrammed ECUs for different types of cars, and have worked with tuning in general on many dif vehicles...



..I won't lie though...I am a little nervous using the Haltech, but anything new is nervous..never know whats gonna happen, but I refuse to blow up my $4K motor, lol...
