Thanks
In my line of work I sweat all day to produce products that help make insanely powerful engines so this kind of project is fun because its different. The best part is that i can use the same fabrication skills and equipment on this project.
Oh, also a leanburn cruise control will be added to the vehicle for maximum possible mpg.
Also I am a huge fan of water/meth injection kits for forced induction and from what ive researched they can be of some benifit to a NA application as far as efficiency is concerned.
And in the next few weeks I plan to build a custom stainless "ramhorn" turbo manifold with a full 2.25 inch exhaust. No turbo just yet
Here are my ultimate plans
-finish all mods
-achieve max mpg N/A
-swap y5 bottom end for z6
-install custom turbo kit, tune with Neptune (200 hp wanted, 300hp capable block, turbo limited for maximum response.
-custom tune to mimic leanburn maps up to 18 to 1 or so (hope to still achieve 40 mpg)
-refresh y5 bottom end
So I would have the best of both worlds, and it only takes a weekend to swap engines.
Alot of people think i'm crazy, just wanted to throw that out there, haha
And these forums are great
