July 2004. The eRam is still running great at WOT here with temperature ranges 100F to 120F here in Phoenix Arizona. I have a installed a bypass switch when to enable eRam operation cuz the temp here at stop and go traffic reads well above 140F-160F at 3MPH during rush hours. This past Feburary I installed pacesetters (non-ceramic) and the RPMs is great. Arizona interstates reminds me of the German Autobahn. Interstate 10, 17, and Belt loop 101 is excellent for GT ride settings. My custom made hood (VRD) keeps the engine temp cabin equal to outside temperatures. I have cut out a 3"x5" vent front the alternator which allows air to cool the alternator. I made this mod because the alternator is near the headers. I still have my stock hood just in case I drive four season states. I hope to someday market my hood. My 87GT is garaged kept and I keep her in great condition.
Due to high temperatures here in AZ I no longer use Mobile1. I have switched to 10w40 Valvoline because the oil is clear. During oil changes. I only use 3quarts oil + 1 oil treatment using Lucas Oil. I have notice a big difference using Valvoline. Spark plugs are gapped at 1.2mm ~ .046 using Denzo, Iridiums.
Suspension wise - I have installed DropZone coilovers for a 95celica from MadRacing Concepts See picture. I can drop my ride down to 3" but I keep her set at 2"..
Once I get the aeroform body kit installed I will mod the front spoiler to house the oil cooler and 100watt fog lites. Yup 100watts.. I replaced the 55watts with 100watts bulbs. They are bright enough so I rarely use my flip head lights.
Installed PS2 Console with 5.5" TFT screen mounted on the passenger dash board -it rough around the edges, but will make it look neater sometime soon. I dont watch Movies/Games during driving. Its a plus on long interstate trips for my sweetheart who loves watching movies. Ok if Cadallac cars can have this feature. Why not?
I plan on having review color camera and front infrared color to see deers in the dark. This will probably require adding another 12volt battery to handle load. Audio pushers with large AMPS have a 2nd battery use this method. Still got alot of work to do....
Improved N/A setup with straight eRAM intake to T/B and Pacesetter for high RPMs. The Tenzo air filter you see here has been routed in the driver side wheel well. As a cold air intake.
This CAI I'm using is 3ft according flex pipe from autozone at $8.95. I widen the opening into the wheel well where the stock airbox use to route off the U-pipe intake. The eRAM is a compressor forces 1 to 3 PSI @ 15%HP. Angles design in most aftermarket CAI decrease HP. eRAM counter acts the bends in airflow restriction. My timing advance is 17* BTDC.
Making air duct for alternator. Found Valley fiber glass maker. Once final on hood will begin mold. This new design will be exposing the headers & backside of the radiator - meaning I'm punching down vent alot further. The valley fabricator wants 600 USD. Installed 100Watt HIDs.
September 2004: Replaced the stock rad fan with aftermarket fan from autozone. Prior to installation of rad fan - took some fine sand paper and sanded the corrosion off the water temp sensor. A good sensor will actuate the fan relay like new. At stop lights - you can hear the rad fan moving fast, sounds like a jet. I'm thinking about installing a 2nd 8" rad fan. I still have plenty of room in front of the Pacesetter Headers. Got new 2.5" downpipe. Replaced the stock downpipe to the stock flex pipe. Apparently the stock flex pipe is very restrictive. Well, it blew a quarter size hole through the flex pipe. 2 days later. Guess - what - it cracked my HI-CAT flap welds inside. So now at every startup the HI-CAT baffles (internals)flap sounding like ping pong balls. Once the gases exhauses get flowing - the rattling goes away. Crap - HI-CAT by randomtechnology.com isnt cheap.
October 2004: Planning on making extend lower brackets to extend both front quater panel from the bottom hinges. The extended lower brackets will be installed front of the lower doors. This will give a wide body effect and vent engine bay heat by cal duct. Here I dont have to cut air vents (slits) instead the expansion of the quarter panel will do. eg. Mazada RX8.
March 2005: Installed new Flow Masters Exhaust system rated for V8s engines using FlowMasters HI CAT and Magna Flow Muffler. Replaced and expanded new down pipe from Pacesetter Header of the collector to 2.5". Replaced stock FLEX PIPE for 2.5". Even with the pacesetter headers having the Flow Master Exhaust system installed my car isnt loud at all. Its very deep and throaty. If you install a pacesetter headers and it's very loud you need HI-CAT and Muffler.
Seems like it is possible to turbo as 3SFE. Searching the site I found Turbonetics manifold. This means we can add any turbonetics turbo of any choice. Still, there is consideration of having a controlled BOV from 5PSI to 25PSI settings.
Not only that you will need oil return feed lines to the turbo which, may require tapping into the lower block for a oil and return line to your oilpan. Better yet get a 3SGTE oil pan - thats if they mate up. Then there is the intercooler. Where will that go. I plan on using the intercooler up front in the air dam of my aeroform body kit.
This is the general idea I want to use from TURBONETICSINC.COM. That setup looks very close to my 3SFE setup. Intake runners in the back, throttle body are in the same place but in reverse. But here is the trick. See the K&N Fram filter, I will have to run a MAF extension to the turbo. It will work because I have seen this setup on a yellow celica 300HP + - looking at his setup makes me want to puke. I have stated this on 4gcelica.net. Here is actual picture of his setup. 
See the MAF extension connecting to the turbo. That what I need to do. So the flappy MAF wont be a problem.
My past adventures in the US NAVY was fun and very hard to live. Some of my ideas are inspired by the US NAVY F/14 TOMCAT and F/16 HORNET design but, my 87GT doesn't fly nor does it have the armaments and radar absorbing paint. Though looking at my dash board it quite a cockpit. Here are some pictures on CVN 73 USS George Washtington Nimitz Carrier class. In the US Navy I was rated "AD" Jet Mechanic. In my time I have rebuilt these Pratt Witney and GE jet engines from a million pieces to new parts.
Then reinstalling the engines back into the airframe with a crew of 4 squids under 2hours. Sometimes even installing in lesser times depending how fast Maintenance Office wanted to launch these jets. Life on the Carrier is rough and you will need alot of street smarts surving with over 5000 crew members. I can remember fights breaking out in berthing after returning from shore leave under the influence of alcohol - talk about SMACK Down Wrestling in a close cage match of 30 people just throwing fist and bed rack gear. In the end - people will call it a steele cell as Cell Block 73.
For me it was the only ride back home and a experience of fun and hell I will never forget. This is no love boat cruise.
Ok back to my rating. I have tested in FULL AFTERBURNER in AMID to Squadron Level launching jets off the catapult of the USS George Washington.
Yeah, I was a green grape. I joined the US NAVY and made a big difference in U.S. NAVAL AVAITION making our country a safer place while you all slept warm in your beds. Freedom dont come cheap.......amen.
