Esmeril Turbo Kit Review & Pics
I have a dyno date on thursday @ 3pm 
For reference:
My car with intake, supercat, exhaust, pullies, and flywheel = 203 hp
My car with intake, catless, exhaust, flywheel, 17 lb wheels, pullies, flywheel, RB flash = 207 hp
WoodsofGreen's Rx8 on the same dyno pulled these numbers=

Car w/ midpipe, intake, pullies, exhaust: 198.2whp & 133.4wtq (loud, but leaned it out)
Car w/ stock cat, intake, pullies, exhaust: 193.0whp & 133.0wtq ( so quiet once again!)
I guess for just ***** & giggles & maybe to go deaf, they ran the car w/ no exhaust & got 202whp... ha. Thats funny. When Im not lazy I'll go ahead and upload the graphs..

My Oil Feed/Pressure Setup
Ok, so there was a little drama with me trying to drill the included sandwich plate out to accept the mechanical oil temp gauge from the Racing Beat gauge kit.
The included oil plate in the Esmeril kit will work just fine with electrical gauges, but the Racing Beat kit comes with a mechanical gauge that has a 3/8NPT sender.
Here is the easiest solution that I could come up with:



You need these parts
1/8 NPT male-male straight "run" adapter - $1.99
http://www.jegs.com/i/Earl's/361/991101/10002/-1
1/8 NPT to -3AN 90 degree elbow (for stainless braided line) - $6.99
http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/100140/10002/-1
1/8 All Female T - $9.99

It really depends on his tune. What kind of dyno are you running on, Dan? All the numbers from this dyno seem to read a little high, too.
I'm going to be conservative and say 310-rwhp and 250 ft-lbs of torque.

My tune is ultra conservative. at 50+ degrees ambient it will run 10.2-10.7 with like 5 degrees advance.
at 30 degrees ambient it will run 10.6-11.5
I fully understand his being conservative, tho. I would be too.
Its supposed to snow tomorrow
That sucks man. Give me a call if you do dyno & I'll head down there.
