jeff@tripoint and nicole@tripoint come to mind, they should definitely post up in here about the 6s

 

[BinoMP5]

refering to this exact thread youre on right now.... but yea i would love for them to talk about them.... which issue of GRM were you getting your info from?

 

[autoxes]

Lol, I was pointing out that some reps from Tripoint were on this forum.

The article that I'm referring to is in the october 2008 issue, I'll see if I can scan it in

EDIT: Scanning in right now, it's slow going lol.

Former Tripoint Protege

Does anyone know the numbers that the TriPoint Proteges were putting down?

According to the page I posted 150hp. I've heard upwards of 220hp

 

[BinoMP5]

that's pretty amazing... 150whp with stock internals... prolly rated 170hp at the crank....

things i know:
custom Intake Manifold
Bigger Throttle Body
custom header
bigger injectors

things idk:
motec (is that the EMS?)
1.8L ignition conversion?
better flowing radiator & stell braided lines (do they really add power? more likely just too keep everything cooler since it is a race car)

that's really good i think on stock internals... or is it?

150whp stock internals all motor isn't that impressive...thats where twilightprotege is at...without a custom IM..

with the twiggys?

 

[LordWorm]

with the twiggys?

He doesn't have the "same" twiggy's the rest of us have

he has version 1.0.....a set that he researched for his car years ago.

Our cams are revised to provide a better "all round" cam, with FI taken into account....

The version 2 twiggy's are marginally more aggressive......

So yeah i guess he's got Twiggy sticks...but they are a little bit different (his are built from mazda blanks too....a fair bit of the extra agro the new twiggy's get comes from them being a billet cam, which means the base circle is larger and a slightly larger profile could be ground onto them whilst keeping them "within spec").

 

[twilightprotege]

i have version 1.5 actually. still got my original twiggy exhaust, intake cam is the 2nd revision.

 

[BinoMP5]

isnt that messing with internals still?
is motec an EMS?

the bigger intake manifold and TB are for higher RPMs... so not much lower RPM power huh?

Motec is the top of the food chain when it comes to Engine Management Systems.
And ya gotta figure for a Touring Car, top end is gonna be alot more important, most cases anyway.

What's the latest on the contest...Any progress?

Who's currently leading the pack...Is it twilightprotege?

 

[autoxes]

I think TriPoint won a long time ago, but they aren't officially entered, so I guess it would be twilightprotege ATM.

You guys wait about 6-12 months, I've got a little somethin' for ya (sssh)
