Wow that is a sweet video. If thats a single turbo, wonder how a twin turbo will do. I don't think theres gonna be much of a difference between the two. Anyways, what warning light is that that poped up?

Yes - the temperature thing is my gremlin of the week. DUring acceleration, cruise it's fine... when you idle out of high speeds, the water pump doesn't keep up with cooling demands and it creeps to about 2/3 the gauge. Next on the to-do list is a Koyo radiator or something.

That road is a the last stretch of hwy in the PHX metro area without lights or traffic - in the boonies, if you will. In 3 years it'll be a concrete jungle like everything else. For now, it's my testing grounds.

I need HIDS, I need to take Jun up on his offer

The aluminum rod was actually purchased from WalMart a couple months ago as part of one of those extension-cord wrap/holder thingies in the hardware section... $4 or something.

The best numbers to come out of it were 7psi, 368rwhp on stock exhaust (which is likely contributing to increased temps under sustained boost). Looking at alternative exhaust options at the present time...

u havent ridden in my car... im not that far behind... no turbo lag. Ive also raced a bpu supra from 60-130. only had around 2 cars on my at the end. not saying that his
car is slow. im just saying that with new jets I could be at 400 rearwheel. doesnt seem worth the money... ill wait till I get internal money.

Nice vid, that single turbine kit is intercooled right? Also, have you installed the oil cooler (NISMO makes one)? Maybe that would help with the heat issues.
