Eurotiva BP/RT build

[timbits]

Wow, looks great, nice clean work. I'll be watching carefully and taking notes for my own bp swap.
some q's;- did you adjust the firewall and frame? I cant tell from the pic's.
-are orig. cv shafts going to work?
-you have a lot of new stock parts, would you mind listing some sources and prices to help others find good deals?

Regards Timbits

You don't need a/c that's what windows are for.

[eurotiva]

I just want an intercooler for higher boost levels. I know I can make up for the weight by adding 2 lbs. of boost.

I'll install the megasquirt and see how it does then.

[hofficergrover]

Keep the A/C, you can make it work!

[TominMO]

Yeah I have already welded in the iat, and would like to see my temps before an intercooler. I just went and looked and it's gonna be almost impossible to mount my intercooler with my a/c lines.

Now the big DEBATE ??? Should I ditch the a/c? Hmm I do have other cars that I could DD with a/c, but I like being able to drive my car all year long in Florida heat.

I know the car would go faster with less weight......



Should I?

Your car would then be just another very-fast Festiva, not the fastest with A/C. The MS system will give you all you can want anyway; 15 lbs of A/C stuff won't matter. You'll want to be the fastest on the dragstrip with A/C on, won't you?

[Gforcefd]

Well what do they say every 100 lbs is a 10th a second? So what would taking off the a/c do for you save you .050 of a second? If you are worrying about the belt slowing down the revs, you could take it off at the track for your runs.

You could always add some sort of meth injection instead of a intercooler right?

[eurotiva]

Keep the A/C put in a top mount intercooler, or a couple smaller side mounts in.

Thats a thought. I've just wanted to dump the a/c for 1/4 mile times I wanna make it further up the list.

[Damkid]

I say keep the ac, you can find room for an intercooler else where :lol:

^His kit should have a IAT censor as it is the same kit I bought.

[schads]

hahahaha did you see my new sig...........

yea its great still needs turbo goes in front blah blah blah

[sasquatch]

hey greg, dose your MS kit have a air intake temp sensor with it? if so put in the MS kit first and run it to see how high the intake tems are with the rear turbo... i wonder how well that big pipe works for an intercooler... then later see how much the intercooler helps

[Flyin4stroke]

already found a buyer just figured id beat it up till he comes gets it..

[skimsucka]

Let me know if you go to the track i want to see what 18lbs is like....

mr big talk sell your car
