Track Review

Also I just spoke with Chris,

FAQ:

1) The turbo has an oil restrictor bolted into the turbo side of the oil feed line so it always receives the correct flow.
2) Target for base tune is at least 11.0:1 if not richer.
3) I recommend using Lucas Fuel Additive with this turbo kit. Its a cheap easy to find additive that can help lube your engine. You should be using a dedicated two stroke like Idemitsu for hardcore track usage.

Woah, the manifold is so solid...

Come on! You gotta give him at least a couple of days before he posts a dyno. Its taken me about 2 months to install a turbo kit in my garage.

staticlag 02-20-2008 02:00 PM

Lol, and its like 8 degrees here and I don't have heat for my garage.

We can't all live in lucious florida damn you!

Jedi54 02-20-2008 02:18 PM

go to walmart and buy one of those portable heating fans. Problem solved. :)

HiTMaNN 02-20-2008 02:37 PM

Get 4 of these in your garage and you will never want to leave.

I feel your pain Static. Its been pretty cold here also.

I have been using a propane tank heater. Its nice because I can turn it on whenever I want and it heats the garage up in about 15 min.

TopGear8 02-20-2008 04:32 PM

Well it's almost been 24 hours! Where are the pics?!?

Jedi54 02-20-2008 04:41 PM

This is FALSE advertising! ;)

My son wore a jacket to school today. It's 68 F outside. That's damn chilly for Floridians. I say it's comparable to a northerner at 35 F!
