For full features; Go to Hood vent for CIA on 3000 GT
Hello! My name is SKYNETRP, and I am new here and need a little help. I
unfortunately necroposted an old thread because a search engine link took
me there....oooops. So I am posting what I put there along with another
post or two from members. Sorry for the necro!
I drive a Mitsubishi 3000GT SL N/A, and it is modded pretty good. so far I
am at about 275 HP (from stock 222 HP) and will be at over 300 HP when it
is all said and done.
I have a CAI on her (if you can really call it a CAI at this point,
pfffffft), and I need to actually make it a true CAI. At least the filter
is actually closed off from the engine bay completely up to the hood. I
want to cut a small hole in the hood and put a mini-scoop directly over the
encased K&N filter so the air is "ram air" and actually "cold air" (ambient
anyway) instead of pumping 250 degree engine bay air into the plenum. I
already realize that ram air will only get me about 1/3 psi at 120 MPH+,
but every little bit helps at those speeds.
I already have the new "Plenum Spacer" that completely kills off ALL of the
superheated engine bay air right down to about 70 degrees or so....I was
very suprised at how well it really works. Before it would literally burn
your hand if you touched it, and now it isn't even warm to the touch,
pretty kewl. Do any of you have any ideas about what kind of scoop will
work and where I can get it? I want it to have a louver door on it so I can
close it off when it is raining hard.
While you are returning replies.........think about this one........I am
currently about to rout my car's A/C unit directly into the CAI pipe right
at the throttle body, adding 40 degree air to the 70 degree air coming in
from the CAI, which should give me an even 55 degree air flow verses the
normal 250+ degree engine bay air.......giving me about a 180 degree
difference which calculates to roughly a consistant 22% HP increase when
combined with the CAI's CFM increase, and injecting more fuel, and a timing
advance to burn the fuel/air mix evenly and completely. It actually
computes to 27%, but you have to deduct 5% for the A/C units power draw
from the engine, leaving a 22% HP increase. That's about 49 added HP in my
3000GT. What do you think?
BTW.........I already have the Twin Turbo Exhaust on this car which greatly
increased my air outflow along with a custom Down Pipe, and removed the Cat
and put a Test Pipe in, that is way less restrictive. I believe my system
is pretty even all the way around right now, but I am certainly open for
suggestions. If you guys and gals know of ANY way to choke out a few more
HP short of 4" pistons, 750 cc Injectors, or Cam Shafts......please let me
know!

eRam Electric Boost to 1.7 PSI
Before I post this, I already know that a bunch of you guys are going to
say that this is a rip off and doesn't work, but I am here to tell you that
I have installed one myself on a friends car and the difference was
incredible.
This is NOT one of those plastic "turbo looking" hair dryer things that do
absolutely nothing. This thing spools up at 25,300 RPM in 1/10th of a
second, and only at "WOT" and forces over 800cfm (single unit) or 1360cfm
(double unit) of air at your throttle body. Now everyone knows that even a
5.0L Mustang can only gulp down 470cfm, leaving all that extra pressure to
stay built up to a decent 1psi (single) or 1.7psi (double unit), which is
not enough to harm ANY engine. Now I know that's not a lot of power, but it
is substantial enough to make a definite difference in the seat of your
pants AND at the DYNO as well. It comes out to be about a 7% HP increase in
the single unit and about a 12% increase in the double unit....not bad huh?
We all know that every 1 psi equals a 7% HP increase (if you do not heat up
the air) and every 40 degrees of temperature drop equals a 6% HP
increase.
No one could believe the performance difference that this thing made. It's
called the eRam Electric Supercharger, although it is hardly what I would
call a "Super" charger. It adds a mild 1 psi with a single unit, and a very
decent 1.7 psi with the double unit and only at wide open throttle (WOT). I
dyno'ed it and I drove it, and it is amazing for such a cheap price: $299
for single, and $598 for the double (which I highly reccommend) to perform
so well. Will you guys go and check it out online? I am about to buy the
double unit in a few weeks.
Here's the link: http://www.electricsupercharger.com/ (Don't try removing
this link unless you contact me first, it is NOT SPAM)
My project and personal goal is to take an N/A DOHC 3000GT SL and break the
200 MPH mark WITHOUT adding any major hardware like larger pistons, larger
injectors or camshafts, or turbochargers or true superchargers. Right now I
have managed to hit 184 MPH with my existing mods and that was at redline
and it took a while to get there. I got to 160 MPH rather quickly and in
4th gear. 5th gear took me to 184 MPH but man I was screamin and I was
burning 100 octane.
I believe that with the double eRam, and the hood scoop over the K&N, and
the A/C routed into the Throttle Body via CAI, and the ECU retuned to match
the new Fuel/Air flow, I can reach the 200 MPH mark and not at redline.
What do you think?

how does extra HP increase top speed? if it is redlined, it is redlined,
extra HP doesn't change the gear ratio. no matter how much HP you have, it
will still red line at the same speed, you just might get there faster, and
higher octane fuel doesn't change the gear ratio either.

Are you saying that if I put in 4" pistons, 750cc injectors, a full race
cam, and a full blown 20psi supercharger in my car that it won't go any
faster than it does now? Are you nuts? OF COURSE IT WILL. More HP and
higher octane will definitely get me there at a faster speed AND a faster
time. Think about it.......you don't have to change out your tranny or your
rear end unless you add so much HP that the torque alone will break
it......and then you just put in a heavier duty tranny. This car will red
line with a 100 HP engine in it, but it won't be doing 184 when it hits the
red.......and if I had 600 HP in here, I am sure the top end would be a LOT
higher at red line. The SOHC version of the 3000 GT is only 164 HP and it
red lines at about 128 MPH in 5th gear, and it has the exact same tranny,
rear end and gear ratio as my DOHC GT SL that redlined at 184 MPH.
Well.....I am going to hit 200 MPH, and I will not be at redline when I do
it, I promise you that. I was barely into the red (7000 RPM) at 184, but
man it screams there. I think the added HP I will get from the Super eRam
should do the trick with plenty of room left over. I only need 16 more MPH.
I was told by the dealer that this car was designed after Ferrarri. I
didn't believe him so I went and looked, and he was right. The front end on
this car looks pretty similar to one of the early 1990's Ferrarri 512
Testerosas' with the flip up lights, clear flash lenses below the light
covers, and the front spoiler and fog lights (only on one particular year
though), the door interiors and exteriors are the same style and shape
including the mirrors, and the seats are extremely close, almost identical,
but that's where is all ends, LOL.
The interior looks a LOT like the early Ferrarri 555, especially the dash,
almost identical in every way. The main instrumentation (Speedo, Tach, Gas,
etc.) is located under a single rounded dash hump in front of the steering
wheel, and the other guages are located 3 in a row side by side under 3
smaller dash humps to the right of the steering wheel, exactly like the
3000 GT. And then the stereo and A/C etc., is in a very similar shaped
center console that drops down below the 3 guages. The only difference I
could see is that the 555 didn't have the back part of the padded center
console where you rest your arm. Even the glove box portion of the dash was
very similar to the 3000 GT.
The fast back rear door is a lot like another Ferrarri 635 I saw. I was
shocked to see how very similar these features are to the 3000 GT. Of
course it is all different after that. Pretty kewl I think. But could I go
as far as to say that the 3000 GT is the Japanese Ferrarri? If it weren't
for the fact that most of these Ferrarri's are rear engine 12 cylinder
beasts, I guess I could. Let's just say that the 3000 GT is Japan's version
of a 6 cylinder front wheel drive Ferrarri.....heh heh!!
One thing is for sure.....I have never driven a 6 cylinder sports car with
only 222 HP that was any where NEAR as fast as this 3000 GT. When I first
got this car, I took it up to 160 with NO MODS, and a lot more gas peddal
to go too. I was amazed at how fast this thing accellerates too. I can
easily say that this car stock is faster out the gate and much faster top
end than most 8 cylinder American made cars today, no kidding. I looked up
the history of this car in Japan, and that's when I found out that the
engine in this car is a Japanese race car engine to start with. It revs up
and takes off a lot quicker than most 6 cylinder or 8 cylinder factory
passenger cars from America. It's hard to believe that it only uses 222 HP
stock and doesn't seem to have a lot of ft/lbs either for the amount of
speed she generates.
The 3000 GT is still called a "GTO" in Japan, and was built as a GT Racing
car (LeMans style racing) that was put on the streets with just a few mods
to slow it down a little. It is very easy to unleash that HP with very
little hardware. When I am done, it will have about 326 HP, and all I will
have done to it is increase the air/fuel ratios, increase the cfm of nice
cold 55 degree air to about 300cfm, and take out all the intake AND exhaust
air restrictions by using 3" smooth Mandrel bent pipes throughout the
system, and throw in 1.75 psi for good measure. Of course, I will have to
plug in the old lap top to the ECU and tune her real nice, and maybe sing
to her, and tell her a bedtime story. Her name is "Little Red".....go
figure!
BTW.....can you tell that I love my car?

okay first of all, your stock N/A 3000GT never did 160 mph with planty of
pedal left, no point in lying here, we know the difference
second of all, 326 hp will never get you to 200mph, unless you are driving
a streamliner or something like that
third of all, if you redline at 126 in 5th gear with 222 hp
you will also redline at 126 in 5th with 600 hp as well
the only way to change top speed is ethier to alter the gears in your car.
or possibly raise the redline to something like 9000rpm or more
and finally, necropost
and welcome to CF
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------
SKYNETRP REPLIED:
Hey!
Actually, you're right, the car already did have a Twin Turbo Exhaust
and high performance mufflers on it for a lot less air restriction, but
that's it....nothing else. And I call 2 inches of pedal a lot of room to
play with....my bad. How would I go about "raising" the redline? Is that
even possible?
Hang on a second......I already got it to 184 MPH @ 275 HP, I only need
16 more MPH and I will have another 50 HP when I'm done. You telling me I
can't get 16 MPH out of 50 more HP? Are you sure? I'm telling ya, the SOHC
redlines at 128 MPH in 5th gear and mine redlines at 184 with all the mods
in 5th, and 160 without them with the exact same tranny, and yes, I had an
inch or two of peddal left at 160....that's plenty......I just ran out of
what I consider usable safe RPM's. BUT, I am bad about not liking to go
past 7000 RPM if I don't have to, even though it is supposed to be OK at
8000, even 8500 I have been told. But it sounds like it is going to explode
at 7500.....the revs are so damned high and smoooooth, ear piercing
actually. Keep in mind that my engine is almost brand new, and has over
$8000 in new parts and labor in it (that's another long and funny story),
so it runs very strong. My actual overall milage is just under 100K, but
all the important mechanics have been replaced recently. My 3000 GT is a
Generation 1 (1991) with a Gen 1 ECU, the best of all the 3000 GT models to
reprogram. Plus I think that the Ferrarri pop up lights are the kewlest.
BTW......I am ONLY refering to the GEN 1 DOHC 3000 GT SL Model.......NO GEN
2'S OR GEN 3'S. They are not able to be tuned like the GEN 1 because the
GEN 1 already has almost NO RESTRICTIONS and you can easilly program almost
anything you want to in that GEN 1 ECU and I have been told that you cannot
program the 2's or 3's the way you can a 1. Speed limiter.....Rev
Limiter....what's that? LOL!
And BTW, with an American built car I would totally agree with you about
not reaching 200 MPH with only 326 HP, but these Japanese Mitsubishi racing
engines get a HELL of a lot more speed per HP than I have personally ever
seen on ANY car. In this car I seem to get speeds and times that American
cars with twice the HP and two more cylinders are getting......no kidding.
During my long tedius life I have owned a 72 Vette, a BMW 520 Euro, a real
nice Datsun 240Z, a 69 Camaro (in 1973!), a 78 Porche 911, 58 Chevy, 57
Bellaire, all set to run fast, and none of them impressed me as much in HP
verses speed as the 3000 GT....except for maybe the 911, I loved that car.
Have you ever heard of a stock 6 cylinder even doing 160? I don't know what
they did to make this engine so damned fast, but I truly respect this car's
ability with such short HP. I am thinking that maybe the stroke is a lot
shorter, kind of like a 2 stroke verses a 4 stroke in motorcycle engines,
just a guess. I did notice that these are quick reving engines and fast off
the line. I noticed that the car had the quickest acceration at about 3/4
peddal and would knock you back in your seat in the first 3 gears, but if
you tried it WOT it was noticably slower which told me to repregram the
fuel/air flow map to run a lot richer.....that fixed it right away. So the
stories about factory programming being run real lean in order to give
better gas milage is true.
I get 0-60 in 5 seconds flat, and I can get that down to 4.5 seconds with a
better clutch and a short throw shifter......that's fast man. I only wish I
could get to 60 in 1st gear.....I bet I could do it in 4 seconds flat that
way if she'd keep pulling hard through 7500 RPM. Unfortunately, I can only
get to 45 MPH in 1st gear which is kind of dissapointing. I think the gear
ratio's could have been a little better and more consistant in this tranny.
I keep wondering if I am better off with the 6 speed tranny version
(TT/VR4) for this car? After all, I am already hitting speeds that the twin
turbo was meant to do. The weight differencs in the VR4 just doesn't
justify the the whole concept of a turbo version, that's why I think they
went with twin turbo......maybe an after thought? Or just an end to justify
the means? I chose a Non Turbo N/A because I didn't want the hassle and
expence of TWO turbos to deal with, PLUS I knew I could get the N/A model
to run damned near as fast with the right modifications and the lessor
weight, and I was right.
This car has already been put up against a bunch of both non-modded SOHC &
DOHC N/A 3000 GT's, a couple of Stealths (which are not near as fast or as
classy as the Mitsubishi's IMHO) and a few non-modded Twin Turbo's, and
even some modded VR4's.....and they were all pretty impressed with the way
these N/A cars respond to the better inexpensive mods combined with Windows
based tuning software. Keep in mind I am ONLY referring to the GEN 1 DOHC
3000 GT SL'S.....NOT THE GEN 2 NOR THE GEN 3'S. I have not been beaten by
any of the N/A's, and I outran the VR4's for the most part, maybe due to
the turbo lag and short distances. But every time, they were playing catch
up to me, not the other way around. I did get my ass beat by several VR4's
that had been modded of course, but that's to be expected. My goal was to
challenge and beat non-modded Twin Turbo's which I did. I had a little more
trouble with the Gen 3's for some reason, it was a lot closer race.

vwhobo
Yeah...I think this is officially the most misinformed thread on CF yet.
Two points:
One, it has already been said in this thread:
1.Even if you put in a bigger engine, the transmission's gear ratios are
the same. If a 2 litre, 4 cylinder engine is doing 5,000 RPM in 5th, and an
8 litre 12 cylinder engine is doing 5,000 RPM in 5th gear on the same
transmission, the car will be moving at the same speed.
2. Also, would you really get more power if you re-routed the A/C to blow
into the engine? lol
chris_knows
Please go away, I came here to get a little help from fellow car lovers,
not morons who congregate online. Seriously, I am not going to waste my
time with you.
SKYNETRP
Well, I went out this morning and took a chance and took this engine to
8000 RPM in 4 out of 5 gears. 1st went to 7500 RPM and I shifted. To my
surprise, it was fine. I am just not used to an engine that sounds this
way. So my top end WILL be able to reach 200 MPH without a rear end change.
I have almost always beefed up American cars, and Japanese cars sound and
react completely different.......at least this one does. My German 911 was
never modded it ran so well like it was and I didn't know much about those
engines, so I had nothing to compare this Japanese engine to at all.
Anyway, I have never had to switch out rear ends myself, my mechanic did
those things back in the day. I looked up what you said and you are right,
the rear end needs to be changed if you need more room at the top of your
run. They must use a different size rear end in the SOHC 3000 GT, because
it definitely redlines at 128 and mine redlines at 184.
The answer to the A/C question is ABSOLUTELY. This mod is being done all
over the country right now, It wasn't exactly my idea. BUT, you also have
to install a REAL CAI, a REAL plenum spacer, and vent out the hood
correctly OR run the CAI the old fashioned way under the body or through
the fender well. If you know ANYTHING at all about temps and HP, you
wouldn't be ignorant enough to say that. Every 40 degrees cooler your car
runs, the HP increases by 6%. My CAI is a TRUE CAI and I want to put a
better hood scoop over it instead of running it under the car like it is
now. If you have 70 degree air (for example) running into your CAI and the
plenum spacer is keeping at a 70 degree temp, the A/C unit will add 40
degree cold air to the mix (varies in different cars) cooling the 70 degree
air flow to aprox 55 degrees (varies on different cars) and INCREASING HP
BY APROX. 8% to 9% RESPECTIVELY.
You REALLY should try doing a little research before you run your mouth.
I can tell there are a lot of youngsters here, the ignorance has a distinct
stench.
I haven't lied about a single thing about this car, and I don't have time
to play the flamers game either. I didn't spam anything, I simply asked you
to take a look at the electric booster and tell me what you think.......I
actually wanted some of your opinions, which was obviously a total waste of
my time for most of ya. I saw the run times myself on that eRam, I already
know for a fact that it works. They may exagerate the double unit by a few
tenths, but you can feel the boost kick in VERY pronounced on it. I just
wanted to know if any of you had ever heard of it. But after the wize
cracks I have already seen, I am quite sure you will TRY to acuse it of
being the same thing as those rip off pieces of crap on Ebay that blow 240
cfm or less......
All I ask right now is that the guy who emailed me to help me out (you
know who you are), go ahead and try it. I will buy it from you if you don't
like it, but you have to tell me BEFORE I order the double from them. And
thanks for all your help and all the links that you sent me to, they have
been a LOT of help! I found the hood scoop you sent me to and it's exactly
what I was looking for. I am posting this here because I want the flamers
to know that there ARE some decent people here who really do help
newcomers.
If I say I hit 184 MPH, then I hit 184 MPH. There is no sence in saying
any different. I belong to a 3000 GT club here in Memphis, and I can
GUARANTEE you that we have VR4's here that walk all over 155 MPH that only
took off the speed limiters and rev limiters. The whole point of this
thread is to prove that the GEN 1 N/A model of the 3000 GT can run just as
fast as the unmodded VR4's due to the weight difference's and whatever they
did in the GEN 2's and 3's T/T ECU's. This car has an extra 130 HP PLUS
locked away in it and the cost to unleash MOST of it is extremely
cheap......about $1000.00 including the downpipe OR the new 3SX long
headers and removal of the CAT.
I have done a LOT of work on my car and it is beautiful under that hood
in both looks (completely chromed and red/blue color scheme) AND in power
mods. I take my car seriously just like any other car lover. Trust me, she
is FAST, FAST, FAST for a cheaply modded car for sure. And if you can tell
me how to get an extra 100 HP PLUS out of YOUR car without new pistons,
injectors and cams.....by all means...tell me about it. I only say "100" HP
here instead of 130 HP because the last 30 HP is where it gets a little
expensive dealing with Borla exhausts or the like.
Seriously guys, try and have a little decency and leave this thread
intact so some of us can have a few nice conversations.
SKYNETRP
This link is going to take you to the video that will make you eat your
words. This STOCK 3000 GT Non-Turbo hit 275 KMH and you can see that the
RPM's are still only at 5000 RPM. In case you don't know how to
convert....that's 170 MPH, and he had 2000 more RPM to go which should have
put him at at least 175 MPH.
My 3000 GT is heavily modded, and it didn't take much to hit 184, I'm
telling ya. Anyway, you cannot argue with this video, it is plain for
anyone to see. He keeps the camera on BOTH the Tach and the Speedo at all
times. At first he goes to about 220, backs off (maybe a little scared),
and then goes a little faster and holds at 240 for a second or two, and
then to 275 and shows the white lines in the road flying by.
I certainly hope that this will shut up the non believers. The owner sais
on the intro to the video that the 3000 GT is completely STOCK. His car is
a lot faster than mine was stock.....I backed off at 160.
Well, here's the link:

OK, now that we have established that I am telling the truth, and one of
you already got me the hood vent I needed, can someone PLEASE help me out
and tell me how much HP 1.75 psi really creates? I can produce the psi
without heating the air (supossedly).
I know that a lot of people hate to believe that they could have
increased their HP by a large amount without spending a lot of money after
they dumped a fortune into their cars, especially when it envolves mods
that they thought couldn't possibly work, but you really can. After you
tell me the rules and tricks that I don't know about psi boost and HP, I'll
tell you about a very cheap mod that works as well as tuning your fuel/air
map and advancing your ignition timing with an expensive piggyback ECU
Module (OR a stand alone unit) and a lap top. I used it myself and watched
my times drop and felt the extra accelleration push me back in my seat. You
are really going to hate it.
SKYNETRP
A dude I knew in college recorded himself going just as fast in his 3000
GT. I raced him in my stock Eclipse GSX and was walking away from him at
120 mph. What the? He later admitted what everyone was speculating....HE
SWAPPED OUT HIS GAUGES.
What
Your about as intelligent as a packet of mayonaise. haha your piece of shit
little n/a V6 isnt going to rev to 8K and if you make it somehow and it
does completely vaporize, It will make NO POWER up there. Way to far past
your power band.
And about doing a rear change, your cars FWD you tool.
NO thats just you lying. Your car wont run 184 in its current form, go to
the Texas Mile or any of the simialar races and watch the cars and see how
much horsepower it takes to go that fast. Earlier you said with 50 hp you
hould be able to go from 184 to 200. Definetly not.
You repeatedly surprise me about how stupid someone could be.
I never thought that A/C was just as good as nitrous or an intercooler.
WOW
I spoke with a head engineer at LOckheed marting about electric
superchargers, and if they could actually work under any circumstances, he
said give me a day. I came back and saw him and he had all kinds of specs
and apparently to spin just fast enough to supply enough air to the motor (
as in not having the vacuum from the motor completely just overpower the
fan) and barely push a tiny bit more air than the engine is sucking, it
would have to spin at an insanely high speed. Then he had all the specs
drawn up about power sources and fan sizes. His conclusion, currently, it
is damn near impossible and if you did get it to work, it be impossible ot
package any of it cause it be about the size of a blue whale.
Im a member on 3si.org maybe I can get some of them over here to read this
bullshit haha
I can add 150 for under 400 bucks. Its called nitrous.
V8s rule.
Enthusiast
That's it...........I've heard enough from you idiots. I knew EXACTLY what
you were going to say before you even said it. And those guages are OEM GT
guages, anyone who owns a GT can see that. OH, and you can't tell he was
flying from the road shot? Forget it man, you are just another typical
internet Moron that if Jesus Christ himself came down and told you how fast
the GT is, you would swear it was Satan pulling a practical joke.
I didn't come here to try to impress anyone, especially internet forum
types. I came here to get a little help finding an extra 16 MPH....THAT'S
IT. I fiund a 3S Racing Club site last night that has all the answers I
needed, so piss off.

My car's current form? You dont even know what my car's current for is you
moron, heh heh heh, what an idiot! I am so sick of your type, it's just sad
how you get together with other typical loosers and cut down people who are
just trying to get a couple of answers and go back to their real lives. If
you have over 1000 posts here you must not have a real life, because you
certainly didn't get help NOR give help on a 1000 problems.
Do you think the video is a fake too? Are you as stupid as that other
guy? The owner of that GT was honestly trying to show you people how fast
the 3000 GT really is in STOCK form, and being a typical forum moron, your
guy says it is a fake.........the car is actually a little faster than
that, it had TWO passengers in it. But I guess "seeing isn't believing" for
you GODS of the FAST CARS. 3Si.org had no problem believing the video, I
asked. You see, we all (DOHC 3000 GT owners) know we have great cars with
huge potential, we get the thrill of driving one every day, and you'll
never get to know just how great they run unless you drive one yourself.
Nitrous is a cop out unless you have tried everything else FIRST. Nitrous
is really only for a car that has all the other mods FIRST, including
either a turbocharger or a supercharger, just ask the pro's. Go to the
SPEED CHANNEL and learn something. Or are they all liars too? The SPEED
Channel had the owner of a Supercharger company go over all the different
ways of getting more power with temp and HP and turbo/supercharger changes
out of your car, and he told everyone that Nitrous is a LAST resort. I
would take his word over yours any day.
As far as my car, of course I know it is a FWD, you MORON. I simply meant
it would go faster if it was geared differently. I was also talking about
cars in general and the gearing. You are a complete waste of time. and BTW,
the video I showed you IS made by a 3S member, pfffffffft.
And as far as the A/C conversion, it works, just as I said it does. You
are just another forum fool. I gave you the specs, anyone with a brain can
understand them. The A/C feed drops the CAI's air flow temp by ANOTHER 15
degrees (70 CAI degrees and 40 A/C degrees together makes 55 INTAKE
degrees), which is another 2.0% in power OVER the CAI's
increase......PERIOD. So if your Nitrous or Intercooler is only getting you
a 2.0% increase, YOU HAVE A CRAP NITROUS/INTERCOOLER SYSTEM......MORON.
MY car does 8000 RPM, I just told you I took it there yesterday. I
usually only go to 7000 RPM, and you don't know dick about our powerband
obviously. If the rev/speed limiters are still engaged you can't reach high
RPM's. An OBD1 "Gen1" 3000 GT can easily have the speed and rev limiters
turned off, and you can reach 8000 RPM then, just as I did. Don't try to
feel better about yourself by cutting down people that you don't even know,
you are so damned typical.....the exact reason that most people don't go to
forums to be abused.
The eRam works......they have a race team that has been racing with it for
YEARS. Even the race magazines say it works and @ 1.75 psi. So who are YOU
who has done ZERO research (typical internet idiot) to say any
different?And if you took the time to read the info at the website, you
wouldn't have come here and spewed out your DRIBBLE. The 3000 GT will walk
all over any other car with the same HP easily, that has already been
proven time after time, I think you are just jealous.
You spoke to the head engineer at Lockheed.....yeah right, LOL. You would
try to speak to him, yet not even go and do the research on the eRam, what
a friggin JOKE.
And I don't believe that you are a member of 3Si.org, you don't have the
vocabulary or decency (which they REQUIRE) to belong to it. You would have
already been kicked out for THIS post right here, and I'm not kidding about
that.......just go and read the rules of their forum and list.
Since this is my last post in this terrible, rude, obnoxious, and moronic
forum, I don't have to watch what I say................SO PISS OFF, ALL OF
YOU. I'll be the one watching you fall farther and farther behind in my
rear view mirror on race day.
Next time try being a little nicer to new guests no matter if you agree
with them or NOT. You show your age AND your lack of intelligence by
talking rudely to newcomers. Just because you do not agree with them does
NOT give you the right to be so damned rude......who do you think you are
anyway, only YOUNG PUNKS do that. The REAL drivers will come to a forum,
pose their question, get the answer, and go BACK to driving HARD and living
their life. They don't sit around here for thousands of BS posts like you
are doing. That's EXACTLY why I am out of here, I have some fast driving
and a lot of crazy fun to do..........goodbye you fools.

i almost pissed my pants, never heard that one lol

OK correct me if I am wrong. You say you can get another 6% HP by routing
your A/C to you air intake? I know the numbers aren't going to be exact but
using even ones for simplicity...
1) 6% of 200HP = 12 HP
Now unless I am wrong doesnt it take around 8 HP + or - to run the
compressor on the air conditioner,AND by running the A/C its increasing the
ambient engine bay temperature?
2) 12HP - 8HP (not factoring in temp change in engine bay) = 4HP + or -
4HP is not going to give you any noticeble seat of the pants gain. IMHO
this isnt worth doing.
Also if you are redlining that bad...it would probably save you money in
the long run if all you care about is top end speed to change your
gears...no sense in blowing your motor just so you can say you 200mph. I
don't care who made your engine (unless its from a F1 or motorcycle)
holding 8k rpms isn't healthy. So spare your powertrain and just change the
gears.

Also dont forget an AC compressor doesn move even remotely enough air to
keep up with the amount the engine is sucking.

Oh and this tool got all pissy and sent me a PM cussing at me.
