If I knew I was going to make EMS's for several car makes, I'd definately spend 2-4x to develope it once, than to develope the EMS for each individual car/motor.
The manifold is pimp, and as I said before I wish I had thought of it. Its seriously just 4 90degree els and a flange with a flex-section. Its beauty is surpassed only by its simplicity.
I had debated going with the larger 16cm housing, (mines the 12cm wastegated, which is welded shut) but I really need this thing to spool fast, as the other 2JZ supra in town spools like a son-of-a-bitch, and I NEED to beat him off the line.

I didnt shim the a-1 and d-1 accumulators because it doesnt need to shift as fast in reverse and into 4th.
The faster I can get this thing to shift, and keep it cool at the same time, the more power it will hold and the longer it will last. More pressure=more holding power.
The neck-snapping effects on the rest of the driveline is another story. I really hope I can break the axles on street tires.

Yes a thicker spring will do the same thing. Read above comment first though.

There have been a handful of quick supras in this town, but nobody writes them off. Not to mention every other turbo car in town is open downpipe.
