TurboZet, eRAM electric superchargers...
Bob:
Did you ever go any further in designing a smooth
intake hose for the NT
cars? I had the same impression
when I installed the FIPK and took out
the resonator.
The honeycomb is insuring clean, smooth air through
the
MAF.... but beyond that to the throttle body, there's
nothing but
turbulence.
Is the Super eRAM available at this
time? What are the
costs involved, and did it actually meat your
initial impression
of 50%? I'm trying to wring every last HP I can from
my NT
and I just started looking at the turbozet, myself.
Matt at Dynamic Racing also mentioned that I may want
to look into a big bore throttle body as well.
Thanx,
Bob...

GC makes a generic kit that requires four mounting holes rather
than the
three of the stock setup. If you don't mind drilling a few
holes in the
front strut towers, these are a great deal and professional
quality stuff.
Tein makes them but for more moolah and they might be hard to
get. Cusco
also makes them but for even more. GC sells the Cusco
too, which i think is
a direct bolt-on deal. If you get the Cusco kit,
ask GC to provide you with
a proper bearing for the top. They'll know
what you mean and they are
fairly cheap. I bought the GC kit. I
can't comment on how well they work
since the car has been neglected for a
while. Keep in mind that these types
of mounts use pillow ball upper
mounts and ride quality will be sacrificed
for better control and high speed
stability. Seems like a fair tradeoff
IMO.
Tein also makes upper
pillow ball mounts for the rear of our cars but they
are not adjustable in
any way.

=======================================================
This is the
same setup that I have and I'm pleased with it --- however ----
the needle
bearing just under the pillow ball is damaging the upper race.
Tony at GC
sent me a replacement and it damaged the race in a matter
of 50 miles. If any
one has occasion to remove the GC upper spring retainer
and bearing take a
look to see if the race is damaged. This bearing is what
allows the spring to
rotate without making that strange " sproinggg " sound.
I'm not
sure if sproinggg has two or three g's.

RE: Team3S: Ground Control Kit in at last!
WHat?
You have one rear
wheel with neg. camber, and the other with positive camber?
THAT has got
to handle well..weird. Will corner great when heeled over on the
neg
wheel, but skid out from behind you on the pos camber wheel.
Who cares
what caster is, caster just makes the 'feel' of the wheel different in
how
the car wants to straighten itself out, and how large the 'dead zone' is
at
the center of the wheel in turning transitions.

No, on the front. My mechanic
went into a long dissertation on how to
correct castor by changing camber,
but I didn't follow it all. Besides,
it's only a teeny bit off, and
everything is within factory specs.
My problem is that I'd like to have
negative camber on both fronts, and
I'll need a camber plate to get it AND
cure the castor problem..

Yep, my guy explained all that. But
he said if I set up negative camber on
both fronts and ignored the excessive
camber, the car would want to pull to
the left, or it wouldn't straighten up
evenly on left turns, or something
awful. Like I said, I didn't quite follow
the explanation. Setting an
alignment appears to be an arcane
art.
