I am doing the swap and install. I have heard that you have to get rid of the nipples from the LIM that ran the twins and the EGR stuff has to be hacked off if I am not mistaken. Then someone else said that you need to dent the downpipe for it to clear. I have not started yet since my motor is still not here but it should be here hopefully soon.



Vosko, chime in again and let me know how to do this since you have it done already. What all was required. RP seems to be the only shop that makes it out to be so bad, a few of the other shops say it really isn't much work to make it fit. I almost went GT3540 for this exact reason though.

r_xplicit 01-17-2003 12:26 PM

cool. i would also like to hear from vosko as well. like i said, i have a nice list of things to accompany that t78 like a 3 row, haltech, 1600's with rail......boy, when it is not your money, it sure goes quickly...





lou

vosko 01-17-2003 12:29 PM

lou you got a PM.



to install the T78 all you need to do is grind your LIM a little bit. besides that nothing else!



its a hell of a lot better than BANGING in your freaking frame rail like some turbo's make you do to install it.



i'm pretty sure the only thing judge ito had to do was grind down the LIM a little besides that it was a drop in.

r_xplicit 01-17-2003 12:30 PM

i hit you back

lane_change 01-17-2003 12:32 PM

That is why I could use some more money to finish this stage of my project. Vosko is few steps ahead of me in that dept. I sometimes wich I would have went Haltech instead of PFC since it replaces the wiring harness. I still may switch over, I am not sure yet. I went with the PFC because of how easy it was to install. I need to finish my rear end and then start on looks if I want to have an overall great car instead of just a fast one. So the hood, sideskirts, and wheels are next on my list for exterior mods. I believe I am done with the engine bay for now. Tranny and rear end are left.

r_xplicit 01-17-2003 12:32 PM

cool, i am not really worried, because RP seem like the pros, and there is no one else around here that i trust to touch my car.....besides bryan at bnr, but i do not know about his knowledge of this turbo kit and the like....

vosko 01-17-2003 12:33 PM

it took a very long time for my car but it is worth it..... as per judge ito's recommendations they were top notch ! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

r_xplicit 01-17-2003 12:38 PM

what kind of ignition do you use? i was thinking, since my car would be at rp for a couple of weeks, tha ti would just go with the jacobs rotary pro pak, because that is what they use......



input? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

vosko 01-17-2003 12:39 PM

i heard HORRIBLE things about jacobs. go with MSD. MSD is proven. i use it on my car and LOVE IT! hell i'm running STOCK spark plugs.........

I went with HKS. MSD is a great ignition system though. We have ran alot of cars with MSD but I also heard alot of good things about HKS so what the hell.



I agree with Vosko about the Jacobs. I have also heard mixed reviews of it. Some people love them while others hate them. It seems to be that way with everything.

vosko 01-17-2003 12:51 PM

HKS is pretty good if you are using a PFC.... direct plug in

lane_change 01-17-2003 12:53 PM

Hey Louis, I tried to call Eric about this deal but noone answered and I got forwarded to a full voice mailbox. Is 1-888-333-7621 the correct number? Just checking to see if that was who you called.

Turbo II 01-17-2003 01:01 PM

nice job

r_xplicit 01-17-2003 01:03 PM

they are not in right now.



what MSD are you using vosko??? one on each coil? or just leading or trailing....

vosko 01-17-2003 01:06 PM

r_xplicit 01-17-2003 01:27 PM

I have experience with sponsor ship in the pro ranks of fishing. With a factory team sponsor small stuff etc.

I 've had small sponsor (no money) in the racing stuff.

First and formost.......you now are responsible to those people that gave you sumthin.

The more the harder.You have to change your mindset from "cool I got my toy to enjoy'

to now I'm in the business of selling and I am an employee( whether you like it or not).

How much of your work would it take to earn the money (value) of what the sponsor is giving to you after taxes.

If I gave you somthing in sponsorship you are going to work for me and be everything I expect.Go to all the shows I NEED you to be at, never talk down a compettitor etc.

Everyone thinks that a decal is all you need to show....how many people buy a car for some name/ decal? they want to know all about it...why should they spend big money on what you say etc.

REAL sponsoship has a price...your free time!!!I've worked plenty of weekend shows and had to travel on my time after a real day working.**** aint for free!

Congrats on your deal.Now if you got it, can you keep it?

Best Of luck and work hard to get more.Its a first step to being a salesman for that company. :bigthumg:

vosko 01-17-2003 02:47 PM

well it says you can goto big races too. that would work since i want to goto races anyway https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Rob x-7 01-17-2003 03:45 PM

vosko is sponsered by Visa and Mastercard......

oh wait, its the other way around, my bad. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

r_xplicit 01-17-2003 04:36 PM

just call me captain PR.....i am all over that. i am also looking into being a full time rep for these guys....





louis



vosko, check your pm

1FastT2 01-17-2003 05:05 PM

I signed up! Might as well try. I definately could use some money. Whats up with them wanting your CC info before they even offer you sponsorship? Did everyone else enter their info?

lane_change 01-17-2003 06:40 PM

I did just in case I got approved for more than $10k by some lucky chance. We'll see. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

r_xplicit 01-18-2003 03:12 PM

they need the money only if you are approved. it is a one time fee that covers your first shipping amount and your vinyl, and window sticker....



lou

l8t apex 01-19-2003 03:47 PM

Are you shittin me?

I hope CC dont mean Credit Card and how much does a set decals cost then shipping?

We will keep up on the $10,000.00 :bsflag:

I hope it pans out!

Fd3BOOST 01-19-2003 03:59 PM

I applied and just got a response today finally.



I may be getting in also.

:bigok:

l8t apex 01-19-2003 04:03 PM

So it strikes me funny that I "want to sponsor you" you are worth $10,000.00 of my dollars but I cant afford to spend $ on a window sticker and vinyl , but I get your money for an app, goest to the compitition board for revue (always close but never comes) and in the mean time I get you to advertise my business with the stickers and vinyl you paid me for????????????Its my cost to review apps. like when you got your job did you pay them to look at your app?No you are needed personal no one charges for submittals.

Sorry it gets me. :rant:

ok, you obviously do not know everything about this deal. there is a 79.00 charge ONLY IF YOU ARE APPROVED. the 79.00 covers you first shipping of the goods, vinyl, sponsorship pack and a bunch of other small things. i think/thought that it was worth a shot and i took it. i also got accepted. so that is why i am where i am....



i plan on doing everything that i can for these guys, and MAYBE, MAYBE i can get a full sponsorship next year and have everything paid for. this is not a joke company, and they are for real.....



sorry if i misinterpreted your post l8 apex...... :bigok:

vosko 01-19-2003 04:34 PM

i haven't gotten a response yet. we'll see monday https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

r_xplicit 01-19-2003 05:01 PM

like i said, i hope that all goes well. if they charge your card, then you are approved, as far as i know. otherwise there is no charge on your **** if you know what i am saying....
