Medusa Version 3.0 (New Build)

My car essentially did the same thing with the F1A-94, boost and power peaked and didn't budge after about 6800 rpm. Granted, I don't spin my motor as high as yours, but I think I've about tapped out this blower as well. I'm good with that, don't want to spend more money on a new blower and not make any appreciable power above what I'm making now. I've seriously contemplated dumping the blower and switching to a turbo.

So that’s what my other thought is. Keeping what I have and start piecing together the turbo setup. I have some forward facing headers at the shop I’m trying to sell but will work perfectly on my car. Fab up a custom hotside redo one cold side piece and I’m good. Sell my long tubes blower crank pulley 8rib kit. Then buy the turbo I need and a wastegate. Maybe I’ll start piecing it together.

Good lord man, you at least gonna run he current blower setup for a bit?

Oh yea for a long while lol. Atleast a couple years. I’m just talking about piecing shit together lol. Not changing anything anytime soon unless a ysi-b pops up for cheap.

I've got a nice set of lightly used CG Fab Stainless headers and a Bullseye NLX 76mm turbo sitting my shop just taunting me whenever I'm in there. I can build the remainder of my hotside and use most of the coldside stuff I already have with the blower, but I'm still very partial to the centri blowers. I love the linear power delivery and of course the sound.

Yea you and I are the same brother. I’m so partial to the centri blowers lol. I can get the same power delivery honestly with boost ramp up but it’s still not the same

Kmember is in. While I was at it I had the spindles powdercoated, and had the lightened hubs installed that I was trying to sell. 12x170lb front springs are in. Baer Drag Brakes showed up today, but no pics of those yet.. Slowly coming along.. Track day on the 28th of this month

Is some place offering that hub service or did you have those custom machined?

Custom Machined..

Coming along.. Looks really good!!

No need for the ABS rings on the rear axle anymore.. Losing rotational mass is key.

Looking like a car again..
ARB needs to be installed, ebrake stuff, injectors, suspension baselining, and a little bit of tuning is left

ARB is in.. She's pretty light too That's in street trim with street wheels and tires..

That arb looks beefy!!

Thanks bro.. Yea I still want to go faster.. I honestly wish I had 8 plus hours at the track to spare. I'm at about a pass every hr with cool downs. I need more seat time.. I'm thinking of doing more TNT's with a just 1/8th mi hits.. I know I can back half the car easily. It's the front part that is a bitch.

Thanks man

Well I had my last race of the season sadly. Time to prepare for deployment. Got a new PB with the car, but the air was shit, so I lost MPH sadly.

Here's the vid

For my birthday I picked up some 15" billet specialties. Pretty happy with them for sure


I'll have to wait until October to put them to use. In the mean time I might have my JT-trim sold, and I'm shopping around for a good deal on a YSI or a YSI-B.

Cali has some weird E85 going around and my car didn't like it. I have since moved to Ignite 114 Red. Car loves it, and it's not even tuned for it yet (adding timing etc). But when I'm at the track it'll have it in it. No sense in risking anything that's for sure.

When I'm gone I'm looking at buying a 8.5 Wolfe Racecraft roll cage for the car. I'm hoping I can have it installed in a timely manner, but if not that'll wait to get installed when I leave again next year.

I'm also looking for some billet specialties comp series 15" front fronts to match.. We'll see what I come up with, then ofcoarse tires.

That's about all the updates I have on this.. Just enjoying the car and having fun with it and getting faster every outting.
