First 300 whp MS6

[snooky]

Yea, sorry about the confusion there. I do have an MS6 (see pic below, and notice killer parallel parking job!) And no, I do not have a front mount right now. However, I'll be making a trip to Beltsville, MD soon. I will be painting the intercooler in the shop before the install. That way I won't have to take the bumper off again and paint the sucka at home. So, I'm gonna buy the paint and make the cutout now, before I get to CP-E's shop. Hope that clarifies things.

here a dumb Q for ya, you know when you see all those turbo'd cars on the road with the front bump grill removed exposing the intercooler.... would my MS6 look like that if i removed my grill? I know u guys are prob gonna attack me after this Q but i know NOTHING about turbos... soo go easy on me :/

PS the ms6 looks SICK in white, wish we had that color in Canada...

if you have a front mount intercooler than it will look like that, if you are stock you are gonna have to take off yoru hood to show it off.

just the front (bottom) grill. I'm considering doing some work to mine when I get the FMIC installed. See new pic below.

Well 300 is a nice round number to shoot for but is there a ETA your gunning for? Possibly a particular model you want to "one up"?
Also Ive never been lucky enough to have a turbo charged car so my real world experence is nada, but why do you need to re-vamp your fuel/timing maps with these mods? Is the increase in presure that great that it would facilitate more fuel at peek boost? Im just wondering since your sticking with the stock turbo.
Anyways best of luck and great looking car. I have a friend who just graduated and landed a great job as a mechanical eng. in houston and he is looking at the MS6. I keep egging him on to get it.

With added pre and post air flow (intake and exhaust), these cars, and most other forced induction cars, have a tendency to get fuel cuts (lean out) at increased RPM. It's not so much the timing that's a huge problem. I think there will be small tweaks with an EMS coming out soon (in regards to timing), but the major focus is the A/F ratio, loss of boost at high rpms, and MAF regulated fuel cuts. The minor issues are EGT, timing, and a lack of our throttle body to completely open.

Normally, any mods will mess stock maps up all to hell. I know this first hand via completely BLACK exhaust tips that I got post intake and exhaust installation. (boom02)

I wonder what mine will put down after I get the ETS TMIC on & get her dyno tuned.

I would guess with your mods probably in the 250-260 range. Thats low 13's all day baby!

Meh, I'm looking for high 12s after I do all this s***. (omg)

what have you done to your car?

Theres guy that have far more mods than you that arent even close to mid
13's so just hope for middle to low 13's....You need to tune to be in the 12's...unless you have a factory freak or turn your boost up to 20psi. But who knows Ive been wrong before.

So basically the liquid to air TMIC negates the idle heatsoak. I'm not into funky hood scoops, but would a slightly raises hood give the engine area a little more breathing room with a slightly higher heat dissipation. Or no matter how much hood clearance you have the motor heat would just be to much. I remember when I stuffed the carbed 350 into my v6 camaro, the motor ran around 15 degrees hotter until one day I decided to do some carb tuning while driving around town so I took the hood off and I'll be damned if the cooling issue vanished. Anyways, just a thought.

 

[snooky]

i wonder how much HP you would get just adding bassic bolt ons, im thinking of just doing the test pipe, engine mount, and CAI. has n e on dyno'd with just thos mods?

Did you miss the part where I said I was going to have it tuned?

LOOK AT MY SIG. I will also be getting her tuned when the IC gets here.
