Car sounds nasty! Just curious what oil you were using for so long before the built block turbo?

 

[Turbo98GT]

I was using AMSOIL 5W50 with Ford Racing FL820 filter

On its way home

 

[Turbo98GT]

Ready to go

Can you please give us more info on the intake system?
I see XBA elbow and KB 168 TB, but what is the system between those and the filter?

149mm PMAS MAF and 1320 Junkie Performance 149mm tube. System comes with street filter and race filter. Notice there is no screen on the PMAS filter. The screen is a band aid to smooth out MAF signal on those JLT. Also look at how the 155 JLT i had bottle necks to 12xmm

JLT bandaid screen

 

[Turbo98GT]

250 miles on her with minimal drama. Dyno scheduled for next week to get WOT dialed in

 

[MovingZen]

How many necks have you broken? That exhaust note has got to snap some heads around.

 

[Turbo98GT]

First event in the books!

 

[Turbo98GT]

Dont get too wrapped around the mph, its funky. Good shakedown event.

Cool vid, showing a GTR the power!
I just delivered mine to tuner for driveability tuning. WOT was fine but if he wants to try that intake system I may do a dyno comparison vs my 155 JLT.
Looks great on the Welds. I prefer my car with the '13-14 spec lower splitters, I assume they hurt top speed events?

The way I set this car up... besides adding ice to the A2W tank, I drive it on the street exactly how I race. I don't pull seats. I don't want that splitter to drag on curbs and going into driveways. I don't change the tune. It's a delicate balance between race setup with very good street manners.
