Well...stay tuned...he hasn't posted again. He doesn't seem to be a *shill* for parts outfits, since he's bouncing around between vendors. Looks like a situation where $$ is not a barrier to him either. I'm not gonna judge him yet...pretty crazy though. Believe it or not, some driver's who have the family *funding their follies* haven't a clue as to the mechanical nuances of the car itself. They just wanna *go fast* and some are actually quite good at it, leaving the *details* to the mechanics and such.

 

Whats he gonna tell the mechanics when the car pulls into the pits? "Uh my car feels broken, fix it fast please"

 

yeah hows he going to tell his mechanics whats wrong. i steer right it goes up. i steer left it goes down. fixy fixy

I think you guys missed the post where he says that Ayrton is simply his idol (post #58).

 

I don't get the controversy on this part...
The first time I saw the *handle* it was obvious...jeezzz Senna died in 1994!!

BTW..not to jack the thread...

Cause of Senna's death:

Senna crash `caused by adjustment to steering' - News - The Independent

The report pinned Senna's death on a pre-race adjustment to the steering column, which the driver had requested in search of a better driving position. Williams mechanics shortened the column and welded on a length of narrower tubing, which the report claims subsequently became weakened by the strain of the race and snapped as Senna tried to take the Tamburello curve on the seventh lap

 

nope didn't miss it. I like them too, I got some 3 bar sensors from them.

 

well also when you go down to look for the turbos for the 05 lsj turbo kit its just a hahn racing turbo kit which you can buy straight through hahn for the same price

 

i agree

 

You were at ~25 psi. It should have made 450 whp easily with that billet 5857.

 

this.....442 at 25psi with a 5557

 

Alfa 155

 

That's what I was looking for. But don't they make it only for the LSJ right now? Matt M was saying that they are working on a stroker for the LNF this winter, I will wait for their to come out probably.

 

Have you guys read my posts? I've stopped in 1999. I wasn't a top driver, who gives me the money for a vette or a viper? With a mortgage and 2 kids to feed? Why would I be here if I had a lot of money in Italy?

 

I have to say that you are right, I really don't know how to take things off a car, and how to build and tune a motor. No problem admitting that. I've been very honest, I'm not trying to show off at all, even becauyse I have no reason and no points to show off. Why are you all talking like that about me? I admit all my limits, and I know they are a lot

Exactly. Thank you

 

I bought your same kit. Should I worry about bending rods or something else about the engine?

 

No. With a good IC, and reasonable tune, you can run 450whp without having to worry about engine failure. The part you need to worry about is getting the ECM set up right. Otherwise you will just fight torque management issues all the time.

 

Says Alfa 156 right here though..........

 

This is very true lol.

 

I better see an awesome build thread after all this......

 

This

 

Yeah and someone asked him what he drove prior to that to which he responded 155, read!

 

pretty much what he said. i daily drive at those hp levels. you wont have any issues at 450.... i made the numbers on a mustang dyno as well so they will show a little higher if i were to go on a dynojet.

anyways part of what matt said that i couldnt even begin to stress to yuo about...proper ecm setup.....tune plays a big roll is weather or not your car will last. **** poor tune iwll blow it up on the stock turbo even.

 

Also, it has to be underlined that the conditions of the Imola track was horrible, in fact the day before Roland Ratzenberger died because due to too many vibrations caused by the road, his front right flap came off, causing the driver to lose grip on the front tires and so losing control of the car, crashing at about 180mph on the wall of the Villeneuve's curve

 

Before the alfa 156, it was 155. Only 2 years with the 156
