Not right now for sure. Right now, I am in Iraq, we are waiting to be redeployed(going home) and My computer fried. I do not have my hard drive because I was medically evacuated to the North for catching metal in my right eye. We should be back in a week. That is when you will start seeing pictures.
There is one way to see something.
Go to the AEM forum and look for the profile "redSRT4"
get rid of that spec clutch or be prepared for problems. why twin turbos anyways, such a waste of money. go with a delta hta 60
As stated, I will accept all criticism, but...
You tell me one person who has manufactured a twin(sequential) turbo setup, powered mechanically (not electronically), using two independant turbochargers on a SRT-4, without having to limit it's use to the track.
I am not here to listen to anyone's advice. I simply lay the groundwork, order the parts and see what turns out. If I succeed, then everyone knows how. If I fail, then I'll try again.
The problem is, nobody I've seen has the balls to take a chance at wasting$20,000 of their own money on an experimental project like this. So you go bow to your vendors, buy your kits and get your car building advice from whatever rice-car magazine you subscribe to. I live by doing, and it's worked out pretty well so far.

As a newb here, you may not want to bash people who have already proven themselves and have experience with the platform Squishy is fast. You, as of right now, are not.

Sequential, eh? Not gonna happen.
I'm not sure of what you mean by "This Platform" and "Squishy". However, admittedly, what I posted was hateful and rude. For that, I apologize.
As far as the selling points, I've listened to the advice of others (ventors/retailers)before and it has cost me quite enough.
If my STT does not work, tell me why. I know it is a far fetched idea and the benefits may not outweigh the costs. However, it would be interesting to see what happens, and if it does work?
squishy = squishy332000, the guy that you quoted and then proceeded to bash. He runs 9's. He knows more than you do. He's right about your clutch. It's garbage. You'll find out soon enough.

I looked at squishy332000's profile, his car is pretty fast, from what I've seen, anything under 10 is monsterous. But to Squishy, I am sorry for bashing you. I checked out the Turbo and you are right, it is pretty cutting edge. Also, not intending to make excuses, I was not bashing you directly.
To anyone optimistic, it will be an interesting thread after the 2nd of November
To the skeptics, it will still be interesting and I will have proven them right again
To the spectators, I hope it's worth the time to read it.
My children take after me. I have 4 boys: 2, 6, 8 and 13. My 13 year old is technically my stepson (for those critics out there). Even though he is not genetically mapped to be super awesome, he really believes in me and what I do.
I grew up the son of a muscle car enthusiest. My father and I built a 71 GTO together. He killed himself a while back and now it is my turn. I always start with the basics and am good at teaching children to understand. They need priorities.
Example: $21,000 in upgraded performance and reenforcement parts
Not $1.00 on a new speaker, radio, fuzzy dice, neon lights or glow in the dark tires. I did replace the tail lights with different ones, but only when I busted one backing out of the garage.
sorry bout your dad, and it really sounds like your going to build a beastly srt i cant wait for pics...
why waste 20,000 on something that might suck balls, why not spend it on something that you know already works? i thinkk your wasting your time with it, but if you really dont care about wasting money, then go for it, just at least get rid of that garbage clutch and get a rage twin disc or a south bend

it doesn't have anything to do with "not having balls"
it has to do with common sense
it works-you have same results as single turbo but you spent thousands more
it fails-you're just out $20,000
its lose lose
$20,000 is too much to justify being different cool factor

I will not argue the fact that spending that much money on a car that now retails less than that, is a big waste of money for some. However, that is not why I do it. I am more than satisfied with the decisions I have made on my own concerning this car. It is a hobbie for me. Like I've stated before, I have never taken my car to the track and have never raced anyone, yet. If I do, it will only be to measure it's capability.
If I ever give advice on vehicle modigfications, it is usually what has worked for me and what do they want. I am fine being the guinea pig for my own experiments, but with so many people asking why and how, I had to make a thread. The why would take me a week to explain.
For those of you anti-Spec / pro-SBC clutch folks out there, I am taking your advice to heart. I have not been impressed with what I've read so far on their customer support, but I will keep an open mind.

The way I see it, I am not stupidly wasting money on a car, I am productively spending money on a fun past time. If it sucks balls, then I will try again. If not, then I will move on to something else.
I have a guy that works for me, he spends more than $500.00 per month at clubs and drinking. People spend $50.00 monthly on cable. My Commaner went on a Mediterranian cruise. I bought car parts.
My next car will be a straight purchase, If my 8yr old can prove his dedication and work hard, I will get him his GTR (in 6-8 years). I wouldn't touch this car with a pocket voltometer. The SRT-4, no problem.
if you can get the STT to work i think it will be a great setup. the smaller turbo will be great with its fast spool up time to give you power before the bigger turbo starts to spool and then after that the bigger turbo takes over. of course you would have to have two turbos that are pretty much complete opposites of one another and a really high rev limit. good luck with the project.
