Rear GT Brembos & Remote Bottle Opener

Sorry for the delay everyone...
My car is back in the shop! HEADERS are going on

I have a few pics of the rear brakes as well as the remote bottle opener.
When i get the car back nest week I will email all of the pics, including engine, A pillar with Gauges, and all the switches for the tank.
I will also post the dyno results as well as the video (post headers)

Stay tuned!

Hey Benny,

How much juice is your NOS? Didn't you mention 100-shot before correct? Engine pics? You post now!

Yes, 100 shot...
But I also swaped S/C and the new S/C is outputting around 20% more power...and with the headers going in, the car will have close to 550 hp without the juice, so I may have to tone it down.

Hartmut is flying into town on Monday to program my car himself. That's pretty cool! (at Meridian)

I will post more pics next week on Moday! The A pillar looks so awesome!
Let's meet up as soon as I get the car back.

Cool... I got my dyno results back... VERY HIGH!!!! My car is a monster. I will wait to post everything at once. Cory @ Kleemann just told me that my car is as fast if not faster than a e55 Stage 3.

Benny - now that you have headers we pretty much have the same setup. When you come to Vegas, you just leave your NOS tank at home. We'll race straight up. Kleemann vs. Renntech

We should get Kleemann and Renntech to sponser this...

Wow, I can’t wait for the result on both cars!
And by the way, due to the fact that I already live in Vegas, I should referee the match (with a video camera).
Oh and I should personally inspect and test drive both vehicles prior to any race, for safety reasons of course.

How exactly does your NOS work. I know you mentioned before that instead of hitting a flip switch you had them installed it on your gas so that when you need it you just floor it and it activates the NOS is that how it works? If that's the case what if you floor it from a stand still does the NOS get activated or how does it work?

Thanks

here is how it works:
there are two remote switches:
1. the first switch turns the tank on (this does not allow the juice to flow with out the second switch)
2. the second switch alows the juice to flow at full thortlle only!

So basically both switches need to be on, and all you have to do is get into gear, or kickdown with full throttle, the gas petal has a switch that catches and allows the nos to flow.

You can hit it at any time, but from my experiance it is best to wait till 2,000 - 2,500 rpm from standstill.
I may have to increase the rear fenders a bit to allow for a 19X11 rear wheel. That way I can have some 295 or 305 rear tires and my tracking would be great. It's probably the only way to hit the NOS from a standstill.

one day.... having both RENNTech W203s together for a photoshoot would be amazing!!! I used to live in L.A... i was born there and frequently visit... i might be crazy enough to ship my car over there to drive around for my time there in a year or so!!! Hmmmm, or maybe if RENNTech wants to show at SEMA and have my car delivered to Vegas. I wouldnt mind driving over to L.A.!!!
