Twin Engine Tiburon
I've got his home # and she thinks he will help get it running right so after it's running right then i can start doing stuff that needs to be done but I would like to be able to drive it like it is first then after I'm done. and I'm sure I will be asking a lot of ?. thanks to all trying to help. and to those of you that don't like it it's OK it's not yours it's mine and I like it. I know I have a lot of work ahead of me but I expected that.
In my book, It is one of the most special tibs. If I had the oppertunity to get it, I would.
Congrats on getting it!
So, it is not running at the moment? Do you know why? I thought that the previous guy that owned it repaired it?
once you get it running, some protection to the front, and you'll have the best sleeper possible...

it runs but if you give it gas to go it will go up to 2500 rpms then cut off one or both motors.
I think it's a fuel problem
according to the previous owner, which is a complete tool, he replaced the ENTIRE fuel system. when he was selling it, he always bragged about how good the cars condition was, and how it was built so well.
so, mr. Michael McIntyre is supposed to call you back? or someone who actually worked on the build. as far as i know, he was just the owner of the car, that had it built.
have you checked fuel pressure yet? are there fuel pressure regulators or gauges on the car? should be able to kinda see what is going on if you can read the fuel pressure.
can you hook a laptop up to the half assed standalone and monitor anything?

McIntyre owned DragonFab for it's short existence. It seems like you have a fuel issue. I would check the fuel pressure like socks said. The old owner said he put on new Aeromotive pumps, but who knows.
OK people I just got off the phone with mike, the builder of the car.
He told me that all the fuel to let it take the boost is not on the car there is no way he ran the car at all. so I WILL BE PRESSING MY OWN CHARGES. Mike was very helpful, but I need a good shop to make or add a fuel system for the boost. He said if it had no boost then it will run fine. As for the special injectors, wrong again, they are stock ones with the end ground off so they will flow more fuel, that is it.
Mike told me to put pump gas in it because it is not set up for meth. It does have custom made rods and pistions, but he said to o-ring the block because at high boost it will lift and blow the head gaskets.
Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know where the car stands. Please, if anybody knows, tell me where a good shop is. Mike said that both engines run on 2 diff. systems so it is just like one motor tune at a time.

sorry if my spelling stinks. yep stock injectors. well it was not ment to run on methanol with this set up.
he told me a lot about the car and how it was done. and that they went thru 8 motors before they got it right. he told me to put pump gas in it and just don't hit the turbos with more then 4 psi untill I add a system to make up for the boost. and it will be fine.
