well guys, it appears tha ti got approved for a $10,000 sponsorship from motorex and their subsidiary company racerX motorsports distributing. i received a conformaiton call today and my contract is supposedly in the mail....i am bound [by contract] for ONLY 4 races or 4 shows. i will most likely opt for the shows this year, or until they extend me a greater amount of money for the racing end.....



my first priorities are the turbo and engine management upgrade, and a new set of coil overs.... now some of you who know that i have been waiting on the ecu purchase for this reason. i think that i am goin to go with a to4r turbo kit and a haltech e11 for the management. that is a good start and the bulk of my money in one fell-swoop. however, the car is pretty set as it stands.



my main question for you all, who might know, is, what kind of fabrication is necessary to apply this turbo to the car. i know that it comes as a kit, but it is never as easy as it seems. some people have told me that the t78 might be better and if so, so be it. but i like the hks stuff and the to4r does not seem to be the most popular of turbos, but is sure promising with an estimated 450hp @ 15psi......would this turbo also be a good one to start racing with? is it comprable to anything that say ARI races with or anyone like that?



whew....i am psyched......but i am going to have to be patient and listen to some of you guys' opinions and advice.....that is why i am here.....



please give me your input......



thanks,



louis

sorry this isn't pertaining directly to what you asked but how did yo signup for sponsorship and such? if you dont want to fill up your topic you could PM me, as im interested not really in getting sponsored, but more in how exactly one would do such a thing.



kevin.

ditto...

Congrats........

Welp, I aint got **** for advice, as I'm still on the twins... I know a guy with a TO4... Bolted righ in with the help of a custom IC pipe to the Greddy 2 row. Other than that...



Like to say congrats! Hope you do good in the events you enter, and hope the car turns out more badass than it already is!



Oh, and with every new mod, you are required to post pics. Thanks!

well, until the order forms are actually in my hands, i am not sponsored, but i did get the acceptance letter and call for starters....i am a skeptic....



my friend with a tdo7 turbocharged mr2 got his first, and he did not want to tell me until he got word. so i called the guy, eric, and talked with him for about an hour. he gave me the rundown and i applied on the internet through their company. they are new to the distribution industry, so they are doing a nationwide campaign for their warehouses. i agreed to go to 4 shows and apply a windsheild banner on my car. so i sold out for one year for 10K....oh wellll.....

Damn, I need a sponsporship. Actually I needed a sponsorship like $30,000 ago but I could always use one now as well.



I went T78, the HKS kits always seem to require more work and cost more. I have never seen an HKS T04R on anyones car so I am not sure on that kit. The Haltech seems to be the EMS of choice for most high horsepower FD's. It looked tough to install so I went PFC, I love it, but there are not many people around where I live that tune them. They are all Haltech people around here.



Congrats and Good Luck.

will do. i can not wait until i get my order sheets with the vendor list.....just 2 weeks....



thanks for the props justin. i still need to get you and my brother introduced up there at scott AFB. if you see a red si coupe with some RH wheels and a CF hood, stop him and say hi. he is a little nerdy, but in his own way.....just remember, his tag says 'JEDIKNT' i guess that is his tribut to star wars.....

What is there email address? I could fill there Midwest void and cover shows and races from KC to STL to Chicago. I would be more into the racing though, I am not much for car shows but I could sport a sticker for $10k.

Scott AFB? Isn't that in the Midwest. Like Illionois outside of STL?

well, that is the same thing that i thought lanechange. but just think.....how far will 10K if you blow up in your first showing......especially if you have it spent already....



i think that i am going to order a reman from malloy mazda as part of the first amount of money that i spend...



got to www.getsponsored.net..........or just go to www.motorex.net or skylinegtr.com and they can all forward you to the site....



i also have a 1/15,000 chance to win an r-33 gt-s skyline since i got approved.....wow, it just keeps getting better....

Well I have already spent all the money for racing, their $10k would be to make sure I keep running all season. I am going to go there. Do they need pics of your car or anything?

they did not ask for pics of my car. that is ok though. **** i talked to the guys and told them that i had 18K in receipts, from the last 9 months......

yes, scott is in e. st. louis. o'fallon, il.....

hey jason, if i have some money left after the "hop-ups" are added, guess who is gonna get that odula hood and feed CF side skirts?

SWEET! sheez thats awesome! yeah sign my up for a 10k sticker and some drag racin. sheez!@

I signed up.

email them, and then call eric and tell thme that louis from mississippi referred you. i got on basically by referral because they sponsored my buddy in his 10sec. mr2......i am so anxious.....but i am not really a believer until the paperwork is in my hand. you knizzle what i mizzle fo rizzle?

I can show them over $15k in the past 6 months as well. My car already had everything break so there money would only help for future mods. There is always something I have my eyes on.

I can do that. I am planning on going to a ton of races this season anyways so if they want to pay for it, then cool for them. I'll call him and tell him about Louis from Mississippi. I am hoping for a 10 sec. pass this season, we'll see.

that sounds sweet. like i said, get the number, and call them. they might manually pull the app over the net for you. your car sounds sweet. how about your list of mods, what does it look like?



lou

r_xplicit



wow never saw your list of mods before, i bow to you https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif



kevin.

You need to call PFS or any of the other big boys, Pettit,M2,SR motorsports if you are looking to get hooked up with the big turbos.

Get it done right the first time.

There is a hell of alot of work in research and develpoment into getting big aftermarket turbos running properly with your car.





Congrats on the cash advance. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

i bow to vosko https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif and all the other big single guys like nocab and SNT.....



i am going to have all of my major work done by myself and the tuning and timing and dynoing by rotary performance in dallas. i would love to get down to pettit and let them do it, but i do not think that they are equipped to do the tuning that i need. and dallas is closer....





lou

i just want a skyline.

yeah, i would love to win that mofo....

Pettit doesnt have a wideband and a dyno?

what dont they have that you need?

they have an engine dyno, but i think that it is antiquated. renntech is right next door, and i *think* that they use their dyno......but pettit, even though i love those guys, and have spent over 10K with them, is a little too far for me to drive. rp is only about 5hrs away as compared to pettit that is bout 11hrs away....



i would be drag racing as well, and i believe that RP is an authority on drag racing and has the knowledge of the turbos and the engine management that i am looking into....

i'm applying https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

If you steal my sponsorship than I will steal your car. I figure as long as noone else applies than I am a shoe in. So please, for the sake of me, don't apply. :bigok:

i already did and my car already runs and is built https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Ouch.... that's ok, your car only runs once or twice a month anyways. Mine will at least stay running. Do you want me to install some tow hooks to drag you around? You can at least feel like your car is running. Pretend my exhaust you hear is yours, or we could always make a cd of an exhaust clip and play it while you get towed around. You could wave at all the 8th graders, and put your mack down.

mine always runs, well, it has to, it is my daily driver. however, i have a feeling that when i decide on a single and finish this baby up, i am going to feel like vosko invaded my life......





louis

louis tell that guy i applied for a sponsorship https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Nice man! Congrats!

Now get Motorex to import some 02 Spirit R's!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

You understand? Cool, I have emailed him and told him what's up with my car and some of my other cars so he knows I am not new to this scene. Thanks and by the way, Vosko, give up. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

louis larose from mississippi. with the rx7 of course.....



hey vosko, what is your full name, and you did apply right?







hey lane_change, are you the same lane change from the "club"? i was wondering because i have never really heard from your or know of that killer of a car of yours...is it up and running, and what kind of power are you making..... :bigok:





louis

I am the same lane_change. My car started a while back to be a fast street car. When I bought it, I was told it had a Pettit SP and I have the paperwork for it and it was only a few months old with less than 3000miles on the new motor. So I bought it figuring I had a good platform to start building off of. I got my FMIC, DP, MP, Cat-Back, Fluidyne, Intake, fuel pump, cluch, flywheel, and PFC, within the first month or two. Then I drove it for a while and raced it at a few places. It never seem to run as well as I thought it should. I had my PFC tuned at XS for my mods just for a rough setting and it was excessively rich, I was hitting 100% DC all the time @12psi. So I knew something was wrong. It would start to pop alot during races and I replaced everything I could think of, wires, plugs, fuel filter, cleaned my injectors, and it was still rich as sin. About 1-2 months later it popped on me and I took the motor apart and it was one of the worst port jobs that I have seen. I am posotive that the Pettit bill I recieved was bullshit, I don't know if the guy I bought it from new someone there or what but the ports were rough and they went up instead of down and were not very large either. So I more or less modded up a POS motor and it blew up on me.



So I bought a new motor from BNR and had it race ported and ordered a T78 from Jason wih all the other goodies to go with it. My car is not put back together yet and I am not sure on power either. I have a 3bar MAP sensor as well to install and I hsould be done by mid Feb. with my car. Then I need to buy all my rear end parts and axles, toe links, trailing arms, PPF and the rest of the breakable parts to replace them and get back on the track. My roll cage has been sitting in the garage for a couple months now.



I was at a race in KC, Missouri and it was rained out so I decided to cruise the streets to see some of the shops in KC. I was sitting at a stoplight waiting for the cars across to go straight and I was going to turn right. Then some idiot not paying attention ran the red light and T-boned one of the cars coming across spinning him around and he hit the front of my car. So I bought a new bumper and hood(not yet but soon) for my car so it has been a nightmare lately. Lots of **** at the same time, over $15,xxx within the last 6-8 months. Fun ****.

my motor was done by pettit, and i hope that one day when i have to dissect the engine that i will find a better job than you did......



sounds cool.



who is doing all of the manifold work for you? i have heard that, from Rp, that there is some pretty extensive manifold work that has to be done in order to fit that kit for the size of the DP and the like...welding and more ****.....





just wondering.....i still want that to4R, but i am not sure if i can get the same power as a t78...
