What choice do I have? I will hold on to my MT trans as long as possible. When it dumps, plan B will be enacted. I am not doing what I did with my 1975 280zt, putting 4 trans in it and I hate the T5 I have.

Once you go DCT, I give it about 6 months before you're willing to accept and admit that you're done with manual transmissions in higher power cars :D Just get a MX-5 to keep around for when you are feeling nostalgic or want to show the grandkids how cars were in the good ole days

I have been down this road before breaking manual trans. I refuse to make the same mistake. After SOHO's challenges, I am done wishing. I will be faster with a DCT anyways. Plus, my knee's are shot. I might as well suck it up.

I don’t blame ya. I’m never giving it up. I’ll continue to be slow until my knees say FU

LOL, happening all day. Can't put full weight on my right knee. Torn Cartlidge again in the joint. Fell asleep in the recliner.....

Dude, sounds like you are real close to knee replacement surgery. :eek::eek:

They are not getting me until I crawl in the door....... Just about happened last year. LOL

Believe me. You WILL know when it's time. :shakes head:

Damn gulf war knee syndrome again

I’ve had partials installed in both knees, one at age 47 & other at 50 :ugh2:

Damn, I thought you were a spring chicken

Squatting to many motor blocks

Detroit and Cats.

You misunderstood. He's a sprung chicken :rofl2:

No, those are the blood red freckles I have all over me. Don't know where they come from. Must of been from the mystery shot I got.

Hell yeah it's not gonna be cheap they sure are determined to make it work though.

Um. Have you tried penicillin?

Like I said, whole ‘nother dimension….

1/2 mile events ftw. :driving:

More like 'mystery shots'... The government isn't above using the active duty force as guinea pigs.... can any one say '60s LSD experiments'? I knew you could....:shakes head::shakes head:

Had a couple of question from guys with Turbo cars and overheating issues from the West cost. They have a heatwave going on. Trackspec vents for the record. They freaking work.

For the folks not use to the heat. LMAO!!!!!
At least you are not yacking on the mound.

Hopefully your car doesn't do that on the dyno :roflpuke2:

I have a lighter for just such an occasion.

I was wondering when those barrels of fuel would come in handy :icon17:

Well, I am out of intercooler above 25psi of boost. Worked the boost up and the IAT's started climbing and getting way to high. Looking at having SOHO upgrade mine to a 4 1/2in core.

I got an event I am going to in the middle of July. Not sure if we can make the deadline. I didn't get far at all. LOL FI intercooler is just way to small.

Moving forward with the intercooler upgrade. I hope I make the event.

Wasn't that what you expected? You figured that the next 'sticking point' would be the intercooler.

Yes, it was not a surprise. I wasn't sure before hand but now I know for sure.

SOHO is fabbing a new one right now.

Mhhhhhhh..........1,000+.............this ain't no "white dragon".

Didn't make it. We will know after the upgrade. I may have to upgrade the exhaust housings which I have at the house.

At this level, I want to make one change at a time to see what happens. Way too much unknown. Now everyone will know the FI intercooler is only good for around 25psi of boost. 900whp.

I was gaining 25whp for each psi of boost we added. That stopped at 25psi.

With what you're posting, and being open about it. I know for sure that a person with a white Z never made 1,000 as he says. :shakes head:

Oh, we could have went and got ice and chunked it all over the motor and intercooler. I could have made it but this exercise is not all about the number. I have to be able to use it for 1/2 mile. I prefer to keep my 2nd engine in one piece. LOL

I am looking at my dyno graphs now. Right at 30psi of boost. It should have made 1025whp but it didn't. Not even close. Hot air kills power.

Think you coulda done meth and woulda brought temp down without a new IC?

Noop, it would have just put a bandaid on it. It wasn't even close to keeping her cool.
