I've done the usual and bought a bunch of parts for my TR (plus the ones that came on the car). I think it's time to focus on a goal...
What I want is an absolute STREET BRAWLER. I rarely make it to the track (if ever)so I want to concentrate on my street performance. Areas of performance would be mostly roll on with some stop light action. I don't mind up or DOWN grading what ever works best for my performance goal...
here's my current setup:
stock short block and heads
power plate
XP+ pump
AFP
009 inj
160 stat
MaxEffort 16
basically stock ignition
TH down pipe w/dump (dump closed)
dual 2 3/4 exhaust w/ultra flow mufflers
cold air w/K&N (solid MAF pipe)
ATR TE60 turbo
Granger style boost controller (tuner style)
MPE stretch w/big neck IC
SMC single Methanol injection (not installed)
trans is fresh with PTS internal goodies
9/11 3200 stall converter
16" 245/50s
stock rear (342)
My complaint is lag I guess...when I floor it (stand still or roll) The engine seems to wind up and BAM - PULLS like a freakin' freight train...
No exhaust leaks...it seems like I need a more efficient (faster spooling) turbo.
To date, I've never run over 18lbs of boost. As soon as I get the injection kit on I'll crank it up BUT, I don't see that helping the spool up.
Any advice would be appreciated...
I've gone a built myself a race car when I want a street car...
