I finally did it three!

Hooray for boost creep. I removed my boost controller and am running straight wastegate now. Wastegate is 7psi from the factory. I'm creeping up to 10 at times. Eek.

 

[mx-p5]

I would love 10, i'm creeping to 14

 

[THE Phen]

If I use my boost controller, I spike at 19...

 

[mx-p5]

ok, you win (or lose?)

 

[subspeed6]

I'm rock steady at 12psi.......

wellafter having the car on the dyno and pulling 190 hp and 186 ftlbs of torque i was very pleased///afr's were 11.9 boost although not recorded was prob 9 psi no apparent boost creep either

 

[subspeed6]

Hmmm... Me thinks I need to get a new tune if I am at 12 psi, Hydra and what not after putting up 15 more HP than Mahhhhk. However, I think I get better MPGs though.

 

[THE Phen]

No... here's the pisser... the entire kit really only gets you 5-10 more power than a nicely modded, stock ECU car. The factory turbo is the limiting factor.

 

[subspeed6]

But I liked getting 30+ mpg on the way back from LRP.

 

[THE Phen]

I get 29 on the highway with the top down. I'm happy.

 

[subspeed6]

Very nice. I think I hit 34 on the way back from LRP.

 

[bazooka joe]

i got 30 on the way out to mid oh??? just took the mileage, 28.31 mixed???

i've got a washer bottle relocation kit, going to try and get this installed this weekend in between house renovation work. i removed the plastic bottle last yr, thought i really don't need it, it's a summa cah, but during the early spring and fall, it would be nice to wash off some of the lingering "stuff" that ends up sticking to the glass. anyway, got this bottle a long and thin one that actually goes in the empty cowl area below the drivers side wind screen ( i like the brits). this wa y the engine bay stays available for additional goodies, it's cleaned up of plastic and i get my washer back! i'll post up some pics, if i get it done!
ah heck, here's the link to the relocation kit http://revlimiter.net/blog/2011/02/nopro-washer-bottle/

 

[THE Phen]

Mahk, do you have a catch can on your car?

 

[bazooka joe]

oil, no...you? i was thinking about it

 

[THE Phen]

Considering the amount of oil that I blow out of the BOV, and the amount caked on the inside of my intake piping... yeah... I'm working on finding one I want.

 

[roy obanion]

Did you go through suzuki for it?

 

[bazooka joe]

nope, got it from a group buy on the ms.com forum. the guy's in the service in japan and has sent them home to his wife...not sure you can get when here thru a dealer? if you want the # i'll get it for you?

 

[roy obanion]

It looked like that was what rev did... He did have a part number listed on the how to.


Oh and I just remembered the subie dealer I was ordering parts at today is also a suzuki dealer.
