MattKatz Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Redesigning Throttle Bodies.......Look Like Standard 102MM Billet GM units to me. Heat Shielding they are testing for Nasa......LMFAO. Kenworth head unit? FRom a Semi? Never heard of them otherwise.....Even Googled it....Nothing. I'm still in Awe of how they have gathered the cars RWP without having it finished.....What a Frigging Joke. It better do 2000....Or it will be nothing more than an expensive joke.

gbracing81 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Not sure if you guys really think he doesnt know what R&D means, and joking or not.... Clearly, he just isnt a good public speaker and was nervous, it's pretty obvious... Yes sir I believe he knows what it means. I bet his mouth was dry as hell the entire time he was talking.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 For some reason when I watch these videos I instantly think of Nicholas Cage in Gone in 60 seconds during the car dealership scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 If I had to guesse what ecu they plan on using I'd say it's the new AEM Ecu that's not out yet. Reason I say this is thats is Eric Hargetts home platform (AEM). Facebook says Cosworth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve R. Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I honestly hope that the BBC sues the shit out of him for using a copyrighted format, as well as using the name itself. Or maybe the name is fitting because one of the 'Stigs' sold out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewtoys Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Facebook says Cosworth Hmm. Their electronics section is down the street from me... So much fail in that video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I was going to take my car to CTD to have it built but since it already doesn't run I figured they could not help much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustlestiltskin Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I feel awkward as fuck watching those videos. I couldn't imagine doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I will also say as awkward as the exhaust appears, the short open dump from the turbo is ideal from a performance standpoint, while it doesnt make leaps and bounds of difference, optimizing the dP should theoretically help spool time.

Reason I say this is thats is Eric Hargetts home platform (AEM). Highly doubt that. Inifnity X has been out for a bit now and running in a few Supras, in fact I have the 270pg manual for it! EPA has not stopped it, my good buddy from AEM would have told me after seeing this abortion of an unveiling I showed him last night.

thorne Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I was just guessing based on eric's back ground. I'm honsetly curious why they didn't go with that ecu. Eric was RAnting and Raving about it when he still worked @ IPS. Where does it say he's tasting something for nasa........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 My guess is this and the sheets that go with it http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DEI-010397/ Since nasa was the one to develop it he is probably trying to make himself seem cooler and talking it up (shocker I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger1647545553 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Maybe Im being stupid but a GT42-94 is smaller then a GT42-76. There is no way it will make 2000whp on twin GT42-94 without nitrous and a big shot at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 God this guy is fucking stupid. Im going to laugh my ass off when he finally hits the rollers and his car wont even touch UGR standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I dunno, saying the car "wont touch" UGR as far as power to the ground is a bit naive. Now, whether or not it will touch UGR in performance on pavement is a complete different question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBMW Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 That also depends on displacement, noone really knows what he did internally. It has been completely re-engineered. To NASA specifications. Don't be so obtuse. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
