My friend showed me this last weekend. Awesome! He's never really getting into the 2nd turbo though, that thing is an awesome project. No body roll at all.

Not in 3rd, but 1st and second it is. At first I thought it was the rev limiter, but I realized that it was just the tone changing and a slight backfire when secondary opened up. Still need to get comfortable with the handling before I go crazy, as a wreck here is NOT a good thing.

Waitasec, "I" as in YOU own this monster? Welcome!

I'm betting you have a custom grounding system - that's helping a LOT with the VOD between the turbos. Reuben (on this board) posted a writeup about how to convert the EJ20R to a single turbo setup if that's in your plans.

Yes, it is my frankenmonster. Everything is grounded to the chassis. I really do not have a significant lag, maybe because the weight is not there. I like the twins because of the extreme variety between tight, low speed corners and incredible straights. Next weekend should let this get to about 140 MPH or so on a hill climb. If at some point I see a need to change to a single, I will probably just hunt up an STI engine. This one is so different, I need to keep it for a while.

I loved the bit in the video I saw of your run where you came right off the course and drove straight into a travel. Very Knight Rider. :smt023

Very sweet ride, I already wonder what the acceleration rate is on it and how lite it is.

Not sure, but I just ran a hill climb this weekend and averaged 70 MPH oner a mile on a 25 MPH road.
