What do you have plans for in the way of intercooling? And is that a air-to-water intercooler on you VW?

[backtrail69]

What EMS? Hope to see this beast on the road soon. My turbo car is running 80x better than when I came down for that meet.

where did you source some of them?

which would those be??

the vw ran an a/w intercooler, put ice in at the track, do a burnout, intake temps of ~65 degrees, run the run, get back to the pits, and still be under 100 degrees intake temp...

the m5 will be using a precision air/air core..rated to 950 horse...

management will be one of two systems..we are gonna try and use dfi's new system called the thruster, basically a scaled down version on the dfi v.7 system...it utilizes a crank trigger and distributor system...if it does not work, i will use sds..

[eddie]

got the clutch in today, it is a uuc UltraSmooth Cerametallic..hopefully it holds up..the block is at the machine shop, should be done early next week...

[cramer]

Yay! No more throw out bearing noise ;)
