Re: circle track 2.1

just brainstorming really. the 9-3 throttle body is quite a bit bigger. thought the whole setup may have hp advantages. not to mention an easy bolt up. everything else I need to adapt is easy.

as far as a lemons car this sort of manifold out the hood thing is pretty much encouraged anyways isn't it?

t-5 map change for slightly larger turbo?

real quick, for those familiar with t-5 tuning.

ive got a '99 9-3 street car with a cookie-cutter t-5 suite stage 3 tune. just acquired a good/free td04, my car has the stock t25 garret unit.

it's only slightly larger, am I good with the fuel curve I have?

Re: circle track 2.1

getting back to parts and pieces relating to this build. has anyone run a 9-3/ng900 intake in a c900? if not why not (pretend clearance issues don't exist)? also, speculation as to what bad things may happen with injectors on the bottom of the intake.... fuel pooling? did a quick and dirty cc'ing of...

Re: Glowing exhaust manifold

for what it's worth, I have never, ever seen the manifold glow on my 2.1 n/a race car. either on LH or t5.

however my buddies '93 9k n/a race car glows all the time. that's the bastard child LH with direct ignition.

same exhaust between the two. 2.25" to glass pack race muffler.

Re: Gen1 9000 front suspension - Heavy Duty

i don't believe you are going to find anything to fit your bill that will "drop in". more wheel travel is going to be impossible without custom lower control arms and/or custom struts. your best bet is modifying the strut to take a commonly available circle track spring. or a truck coil sp...

weak showing that race, maybe 15 cars. that guy was giving me plenty of room! haha seriously, if you're on the outside and not touching the guy inside you, you're too far up.... using 3rd gear with a type 6 gearset in a later 5 speed for a 5.70 total ratio (at that track). car is all stock motor 2.1...
