I don't understand this. The biggest NHRA Compact National is going to be on the East Coast and a 500hp 200SX is doing a car show!? Someone tell me I fell in the matrix! :eek:

You see, Nathan is the east coast distributor for F-Max Turbo Systems, and if they want him to be at Carslile, then he's gonna be there. They shelled out like 1200 bucks for him to be there, or so he said. Hey, they feed his family, so he's kinda stuck. Shoulda seen him at maple grove!

Only problem was his car didn't put down that kinda of hp. :-P

I was there to see the dyno runs, though we think that dyno was a bit on the low side. The car still sounded great on the dyno though.

the numbers were more like low 300's

Hmmm...i wonder if that was his base guestimate...500hp. He said he had a similar setup to another ser that had the dyno runs at the same location and that one was also putting up some really high numbers. Wow, that's an awful lot of money to invest to not get what you want out of a motor.

fmax stage II I believe but I'm not sure if it was the smaller or larger turbo. He was running I believe 24psi on a fully built engine. The timing was only at like 13 though from the looks of it so that was some of the power loss along with the dyno that seemed to be dyno'inig much lower for everyone. He was going to dyno at the dyno near his shop I believe and email me the numbers.

I believe the turbo is a t-66HiFi it does not look that big, but the interior apparently has a much larger flow volume. He can boost up to 30psi. I dont think he actually is using a certain stage of f-max I think it's a mixture of things. It's hard to tell, there is so much damn stuff put into that motor.
