would like to post pics of twin setup but my pics are too large-can anyone help?

take it into Adobe Photoshop or Paint or any other photo editing software and resize it. Also, check to make sure that the file isnt a bitmap file (filename.bmp).

Had an injector fail yesterday, car will be fixed today and back on the dyno Monday. I will be driving it all week-end, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Now that looks different. Keep everyone posted.

Melt?

Well, nobody is gonna accuse you of stealing their design on this one.

SPI TWINS · March 17th, 2006, 02:18 PM

Yeah, it's definetly a unique build, one of the hardest I've ever done. So far no meltdowns. I've put about 700 miles on it, and will probably put that much on over the weekend.

Great looking system Andrew. I'm glad to see everything worked out like you wanted it to.

SPI TWINS · March 17th, 2006, 03:03 PM

Thanks Jason, I'll let you know how it went on Monday.

Great looking setup. Hope it works as well as it looks.

when tuning how do you read the plugs?? do you have to take the turbos off??

congrats on the install. I always love it when you thought you saw it all and then bam totally a new design!

vd..

GARY J · March 19th, 2006, 03:24 PM

Interesting. Looking forward to the numbers.

Torquemonster · March 19th, 2006, 03:52 PM

Great to see a new approach.

Well done Andrew - hope it's everything you wanted it to be.

Nice header shorties. With those long intake runners you should have no problem keeping intake temps down.

Thanks guys for all the replies, the plugs aren't too bad to remove with the right socket, now that i've done it a few times it doesn't take very long at all. I put another 400 km on the car this weekend and so far everything has gone well-should be on the dyno tomorrow I will post the numbers and hopefully have some video done for you guys by then too.

Thats a very interesting design. I hope it works out well for you.

O.K. guys, just got back from tuning on the dyno. I don't have big impressive #'s to tell you but there is a reason. For those who don't know, I built this car for the GUMBALL 3000. The car was brought to me almost brand new with about 650 km on it. My customer asked me to put the turbos on top where he could see them and because it was a brand new car he did not want me to open up the engine. SO, the engine is completely stock, even the exhaust.
My customer needed the car to be super reliable and not guzzle the fuel too bad for the gumball trip. Although there are things I would have liked to obviously do to make more power, unfortunately sometimes you have to build what the customer wants. When he gets back from the Gumball we will be pulling and building the engine and doing what ever it takes to make the car more impressive(this will happen mid may).
So here you go we tuned the car today at 4.5pounds boost and made 561rwhp and 632rwftlbs-again stock motor, full factory exhaust w/cats.This is how he wants to run it overseas. We had previously ran some pulls at 8-9pounds and seen conisistent #'s above the 760's. The car is running great and driving great and has recently passed an emissiion test with no problems.
