Project Tc

I will see if I have the number for the housing. I dont think I do, because I think it was easier made at a local shop, than purchased.

Here are my new additions to the Project tC gettign her ready for T/A. Purchased these from Jotech. It seems that these HKS Hypermax RS coilovers were originally destined for the Nitto tC, but different units were used instead. Oh well, lucky me.

New wheels and rubbers will be coming soon. I am waiting till I am closer to moving back to Texas. I don't want to get them damaged here on NOLA's cruddy streets.

Yea those are nice whats the drop on them? one to four inchs? I love the nitto tc its sick!. Navylife did u install the 14 psi pulley yet?

carboncrazytc · #84 (**permalink**) Wed., Oct 03, 2007

do u think stock internals can hold the 14.5 psi ??

StreetracerJay · #85 (**permalink**) Thu., Oct 04, 2007

Im not sure... I dont know the breaking point of are engine yet.

carboncrazytc · #86 (**permalink**) Thu., Oct 04, 2007

i am very curious to find out b4 i boost any more..

navylife59 · #87 (**permalink**) Fri., Oct 05, 2007

I believe that 14.5PSI with h20/Meth and a good tune will be sufficient. We shall soon find out.

I think it will last for a bit, but not very long. On the supercharger, it will last longer than the turbo.

A turbo is 14.5 psi all at once. With the supercharger, you will only ever make 14.5 at redline for a mere fraction of a second. So it wont be as harsh on the engine.
But from seeing ALOT of people boosted, 11-12 psi seems to be about where everyone starts building it.
But thats turbo charged and on a turbo you are talking 340whp at 11-12 psi.
On a supercharger, you will be lucky to see 260WHP at those boost levels, without other mods.

True. If the theoretical formula (1PSI=10WHP) holds true, then I should be just north of 280WHP w/o h2o/meth and tuning. So far, with my current setup @ 9PSI, I am just about where I predicted; 228.4WHP.

It is taking me so long cause I have my plate filled with Family, Navy, starting a business, and such.

carboncrazytc · #92 (**permalink**) Sun., Oct 07, 2007

Here is the finished lower grille Hella Horns install. I will install it tomorrow.

I finally got my powdercoating setup up and running. Here are some of my 1st parts. The bracket is the S/C housing mounting bracket that cracks. This is a new one from TRD Sparks that I PC'd Hot Metalflake Black and cleared. The PC is actually like the Duplo Nite Effects with multi-colored flakes.

Intial install of my new Eagle Eyes project headlamp housing.

Going from this.........

To this.......

Here is the complete Hella Horns in the lower grill.

carboncrazytc · #95 (**permalink**) Sat., Oct 13, 2007

so whats the deal with the horns??

navylife59 · #96 (**permalink**) Sat., Oct 13, 2007

The factory ones are wimpy. These are super loud. Here in the NOLA area, people don't pay attention where they are driving. That OEM just does not cut it here.

carboncrazytc · #97 (**permalink**) Sat., Oct 13, 2007

lol sweet post a sound clip when i finish thats what i need for big trucks that try to crush me .

navylife59 · #98 (**permalink**) Sat., Oct 13, 2007

carboncrazytc · #99 (**permalink**) Sat., Oct 13, 2007
