With a lot of help from Chris, I got my T04S on and running. I had to struggle through JCI to get it done.... but now I passed inspection and I ripped all the bullshit off. I am currently boosting 1.2Kg with water injection. My fuel system is not maxed yet, and I can turn the boost up higher... I'm just learning how this turbo acts at a lower level so I don't spike and blow my ****.



Last night I hit 1.3Kg without any reason to do so... the damn A/R .50 exhaust housing I'm running makes this thing kick from down low. I can hear the turbo at 2000 rpms. By 3500 I've got some boost, 4000 it makes power, 4500 or so and it takes the **** off. 5000 full boost. Hold that to my measly 8000 rpm redline, and you get one fast son of a bitch.



Van thought he caught up.... Heh heh, watch out, dude. Bret, wish your car was still together over here... I think mine could take it now.



So, there are cars that are fast that don't have rotaries under the hood, and they're not GT-R's either. We'll see what sort of stuff I can pull off at Nago on Sunday. This will be a 6 second weekend for me.

My exhaust temps are maxing around 800 degrees celcius. Thats cooler than they were with the T04E and no water injection. I should be fine.

As always, GET VIDEO!!!





Damn, I wish I could get another ride in that beast sometime soon. You had better watch out for my car next time around. I don't thing Fuji Rent-A-Car would mind it if I slapped a NOS kit on their rental Corolla.

So does this mean you fixed the exhaust leak?
