My 7

Not to ignore sweetness there but how has your 7 been since the turbo upgrade? How does the single turbo setup feel?...Perform? :D
 
Can't get enough yet there's more we want...yea that made no sense.

Get your own camera and snap a few pix!!! It's always good to have amateur shots! (unless you're the pro)
 
Its performing great. The response is awesome. Definitely not what i expected from going single. I am working on doing a race gas tune right now. Car will be in the shop tomorrow.
We tried it last week and it put down 442whp and 375tq at 19PSI before it ran out of fuel pressure.
Tomorrow we are putting in an Bosch 044 inline pump to help out the walbro 255 that we maxed out. Should be enough to reach over 500whp. Ill let you know how it goes. Ill get some more videos of it on the dyno as well. = )
 
505whp and 440 ftlbs at 27psi...Awesome...Glad to see you're keeping at it...(thumb)

Fun vids as well...Looks & sounds like a bat "outta hell" in that "2nd Gear" vid! (2thumbs)

Question...How much on average does it run you to dyno tune each time?

What sort of boost control setup are you running?

Thanks...:D
 
O...M...G...that is beautiful.
How fast do you have to be to counteract that thing? With that much power and gears being that short I can only imagine how far on your toes you have to be.

Well the owner of the shop is a good friend of mine, so they cut me a pretty good deal. However, the fuel is a different story, for 5 gallons of the Q16 its about $70, and we generally go thru that with one dyno tune.
For boost im running a greddy profec b spec II.

All it takes is practice.. the final drive is actually shorter as well at 4.33 compared to 4.1 stock, not a huge difference, but enough to notice that first gear is almost non existent

Hahaha, just take it out...I'm sure you won't miss first too much. ;)
 
well my car found the weak spot, It just so happened to be the endtank of my intercooler.

Ouch in the intercooler but yea, that thing is definitely NOT emissions compliant. lololololololol
 
I hate this man...... 2 rotaries? damn

Looking sweet man.... now fix up the 4 and take pics when she's lookin purdy!! (2thumbs)
 
i definitely will, will probably be a while tho, gotta get the 7 back on the road and the V-mount im looking at is 2300 bucks. sucks!

OUCH.... now I know what my friends with FDs meant by saying, this car takes money to care for it (eek2)
 
this isnt the first indication ive had of this..
Ive known it for a long time, however i never thought it would be the intercooler that would fail. I guess im just happy its not the motor.
