Hello Fellow members,

You were asking why the e-mail updates, and why no web page?
Here it is for now. Yes, I know it is sloppy and only pics for now, but when I have time I will clean it up and keep it updated. Let me know if there are any more questions in the mean time. BTW I drove the car for the entire weekend, and there are a few kinks, but they will be gone shortly.
It seriously does not feel real that it is running again, but it is a dream come true.

Thanks, Kyle
 
Do we know what kind of gains we are getting with this setup? I can't believe we might be getting some more horsepower for our LEGENDS!!!

Based strictly off of the numbers from boost and cubic inches we should see a min of 220 @ the wheels and a max of 320 @ the wheels.

My guess is 235whp to be on the low side-I would say more but we all know how that goes......

I also found out that I am running a 7.2 Psi spring instead of 7.5. Tial has that listed as .5 bar. I will confirm boost as soon as my new wastegate valve seat is installed.


Hope that helps!

Is the "DV8/NOS" vs. "you/TURBO" best of 3 legal drag deal still on once you both get everything up and running? I don't mean to stray from the subject as this is a topic touched upon earlier in this thread...just for the sake of good ol' competetiveness? :D let us know

My bet is on ...mmm..crap.

I have no money. :giggle: I have a bubble gum wrapper
 
kyle,

Would u mind drawing a rough pic of how the air is flowing on your setup...since you built those manifolds with one turbo i am confused...just because i like engineering and such. thanks.

ben

Ps-yes it is a noob question.
 
No it's not a noob question Swift. Some people think that putting on a turbo is easy BECAUSE THEY HAVE A KIT! If a turbo is designed there are much more in depth procedures needing to be performed by people who are relatively underfunded compared to say Greddy/Trust.

Whenever Kyle wants to drive to CA. We can drag at Sac Raceway. CO weather is a little crude for my tastes.

@ this point I know I'm being too demanding but is there any way we could get vids for the three runs...(i have a feeling all members would want that as well) anyway...to both of you good luck and may the result of these runs just serve to turn contenders and spectators towards the 'uber' mod land....hey swift - whose holding the dough for the betting rounds. i'll pitch in 3 Lincolns (pennies not $5) :D

Hahaha
I love it! THis is the type of competition that pushes our group further. Before you know it there are going to be all out drag Legend pushing 1500whp! Why? Because at this point I am 95% sure that DV8 will clean my clock with what he has and what I have-no matter what I do. I might be able to pull two outta three runs with a poo load of boost, but might not be able to get the car home after that. I am sure that if we get down, DV8 and I will both race prep our cars as to best the other person. Right? I am excited to do this sometime! Maybe we can race there and here? Year after year there will be more and more competition! I would love to vid the race and we could make a big deal out of it with a meet and car show bla bla bla. THen sell the vids to raise some money for the forum or some charity. It will be the race to see who has the quickest Legend.....something stupid like Legend of Legends.

So, yesterday I fixed my check engine light problem and recd the wastegate valve seat. Tonight I will hopefully have pics or a vid of the car in action. My friend Alex and I will attempt to build an exhaust that is low profile for the kit, and possibly paint my sideskirts. If any of the members have not seen my car yet please go to labratinc.com to check it out.
Wow! This is destroying my productivity at work.
Later guys!

Kyle
