I'll be updating the site this week to include release of the Intercooler and e-Manage. Initially payment will be through Paypal until I see how things are progressing. But both items are now officially available and will be reflected on the site soon.

I would like a E-manage unit, plug and play harness. Do you have the Greddy E-01(so I don't need a lap top), and that pulley (3.275)you are installing?

Yes, the e-01 will be available. Give me a few more days.

i know but what abt the manifold design that prevents the addition of headers since it is now welded in from the factory?

wont that be restrictive and since it cant be swapped out, prevent lets say an s/c from getting maximum air flow?

Yes, there are limitation in the exhaust side which will be hard to overcome. I haven't looked into it too much yet but I can see where something can be improved. However, this is not something that will take a front row; it will be some time before anything is tested.

Well designed intercooler systems also provide engine protection, of course, as engine intake air temperature is a primary factor determining maximum reliable boost pressure. In fact, every 1 degree decrease in engine intake air temperatures produces approximately a 1 degree decrease in exhaust gas temperatures. This is why intercooling is now the standard at the track and on the street, whether supercharged or turbocharged.
so there you go i cant wait to intercool my beast as it will help big time with ant detonation issues

Swap the heads and cams, then bolt on the headers, blower, IC, and away you go!

Just a quick update, I am planning on accelerating the development of the RES and the radius rods (torque arms).

I will be going to the dyno soon to test the IC and latest pulley. At the same time I want to test a concept/prototype RES plate. So I need to locate a CL-S or TL-S in the Atlanta area to use for this test. I'll make another thread on that. But the initial test will support or refute my current ideas. If supported by gains I can go to a complete design within weeks and have it on a car to test for some miles. I'll actually use multiple cars and I suspect there will be volunteers as it will not need to be local.

Concerning the radius arms, I already have sketches on these and will have drawings done this week. I hope to have something on my car being tested within two weeks. Once completed and tested at the track, this will immediately be available. So it is probably moved up a month.

Sorry Matt, I haven't forgotten about you. I need to find a salvaged, or more, J32A2 to get parts off of. I would prefer pull it yourself yards but they are hard to find around here.

This was on the schedule for this week to try and track somethign down.

If you need someone to test the RES during the hot summer days that we get in South Louisiana, I will be more than willing! Let me know what I can do.

I have finally decided to get things going in making the IC and E-Manage available:

I will be updating further soon with the on-line payment along with better details on product schedules.

I have someone lined up for testing the RES plate but if things don't work out or I need others I will definitely drop you a note.

Thanks...
