You know what, I'm just gonna end this now. Back to the InitialD talk! :D

--- Quote ---BTW - turbo lag only comes in to it at low revs, once the car is moving you'll be changing gear in to a spooled up turbo, so it's only moving off the mark that you'll pay the penalty, and even then you can partially get round that with a spool assist or anti-lag ECU set-up.
Now a charge cooler IS far superior to an inter-cooler on the drag strip as it is working all the time (the difference is the former pumps water round the cooling sysem, the latter relies only on cold air moving over the inter-cooler radiator).
Oh and I do know the difference. My MX-5 was (until a few months after I got the RX-7) super-charged with a charge-cooler, my RX-7 comes with twin serial turbos (and still has) and an intercooler (stock one now replaced with a large full width unit).

The terminoligy differences from country to country are pretty funny. This is a good example, most people call "Charge Coolers" "Air to water Intercoolers" in the states. ;)
But yea, what he said. :)
(BTW, got anymore footage or pics of that RX-7?)
Dapprman:
No more video - due partly to the change in policy to in-car mounts at some race tracks, else I'd have footage of me at Silverstone GP from inside.
I'll maybe see what suitable pictures I have, might have one of the engine bay from when I got it, and one for now ;)
The car is tuned for reliability (though that has produced a reasonable increase in performance) and quietness (though this is known to cost me 20-30 BHP).
If I can't get on to the race tracks I want to due to it still being too loud, then off will come the cat back and cat pipe, to be replaced with a nice titanium straight through. Also when the engine rebuild comes around (60-80,000 miles for a well looked after FD3S 13B-REW engine), I'll get it street ported and dowelled, plus I'll replace the stock twin turbos with a single, such as a hybrid garret T35/40 (the popular choice in teh UK at the moment).
Dapprman:
Here's one of the car at the dyno being tuned (yes I have a programable ECU as well as other bits).
