I am reading your sig and your screen name and it seems that you have a bit more boost than the normal performance chip without listing low compression pistons. Is it just in the words or are you actually running 18psi?

Do you have any pics of the CO2 intercooler chiller? 8)

A resistor in the right place makes the fuel cut all go away. HKS makes a thing called fuel cut defencer, and is basically a resistor in a cool black box that does exactly the same thing.... And 18psi is not far out of the question, unless his motor is completely stock. But if he's running a wet kit, he's probably got some internal mods, or at least some sort of metal head gaskets. I ran 18 psi on my dsm fine even on the stock engine. Also, the TGP has slightly lower compression than a stock GP due to some of the mods McLaern had to do to make the turbo work.

how much of a improvement is a co2 charged intercooler than a watercooled intercooler....or would it be good to use them both in conjuction? 18psi.....i just wish I could get 1 psi as of right now

The water cooled unit doesnt cool as well after 2 passes, and requires a tnak of water that is substantially heavier than a c02 tank. The co2 system cools faster, and doesnt suffer from the coolant being recycled and heated like the water cooled units do. Downfall to co2 is the bottle has to be refilled, but usually about as often as a NOS bottle. Cost is $.08 an once.

sounds like its the better way to go....i might have to do that once i actually figure out the basics of this freakin car

I would also look into a better IC.

kadoi · August 08, 2003, 10:12:05 AM

would i want a bigger one or just one of better quality? Im also putting a T4 turbo in so i guess bigger would definatley be the way to go

Both would be a good idea. A 3rd gen Supra intercooler would be a good addition if you are going to T04

are bigger I/C's just plug and play, or do they require some modifications?

maximage · August 08, 2003, 12:00:50 PM

Will require some modification, as well as some plumbling changes. The Supra FMIC will fit the nose of the TGP with some work, and the extra piping isnt that hard to run. We did one on a 91 Sunbird, should be close to the same.

The C02 chiller, i've been considering doing that, do you have it set up so you can just flip a switch and the valve opens and the co2 sprays?, could you explain what you did? Thanks,

i have spiked to 20 but i can hold 18 in second gear thats with 100 octane a blitz id meter and boost controller with the chiller on and on nos that is now gone my car was broke in to at a club after a show they got my id meter the boostcontroler both my co2 and nos tanks the 4 gallon fuel tank i bought to use in a squerter set up and about 70 cds the head unit and a 32x7x2.5 ic with end tanks that was in the trunk what they missed thought a 35mm tial wastgate not a car person? and a turbo header for a b series
