Wow, its been awhile since ive been on here.......

[CWiLL]

your car looks sick. i love the manifold. good luck with the car

Sorry, dont get on here to much to reply.

Lets see...... Im running 117 octane leaded fuel.
Tried getting the dyno numbers today but my tuner is out of town at some race, so couldnt get it just yet.

As for the motor build up. Its just your usual ported head stronger rods, pistons. I really didnt get to involved with what they did with the motor. I just told them I want to be in the low 12, high 11's range. So they did what they did.

As for the transmission.. As a few of you know from before, I have cryoed gears and a quife LSD. With some stronger driveshafts.

Off topic.....I was out breaking in the motor this past weekend, just cruising around getting on it here and there when possible. So i was sitting on the shoulder waiting for the last few cars to pass so i could get a good run through out the power band. So I launch 1st, no traction, got into 2nd even worse, and as i was getting out of 2nd a GSX-R was flying and came right up next to me as i was getting into 3rd. So we went at it, and i started to pull from him at the end of 3rd going into 4th.... Then, it was pretty even, then get got me at my mid 4th gear.

May not have been a leggit kill, but it was fun as hell, to see a bike next to me instead of infront of me. Even though it only lasted a gear and a half. (thumb)

Here is a updated motor pic.

hmmm sounds strange...turbo cant make past 15psi, but its pushing 360whp @ 15psi?
Maybe your gauge is bad and really pushing 25psi

(hah) I was thinking the same thing.

This is going to sound stupid. But my tuner and I remembered a weezing sound coming from the engine during the last few runs of the tuning process, and we both thought it might have been the blow-off valve sticking or something.

So, get the car home, started the breaking in process and i noticed my idle kept creeping higher and higher at idle. So i take a look at the throttle body and noticed that all 4 bolts were loose. So i take it off and I had blown the gasket on it, and which was causing the weezing sound.

So hopefully that is why it had a hard time getting the boost higher then 15psi, because maybe it was leaking boost.

So now im in the process of sending him my data logs, and trying to get more out of the car.

Still trying to get dyno sheets.......... Im a patient guy, but man Ive been waiting for them for about a month now, and i dont want to get on his bad side, then ill never get it and probably wont tune my s*** anymore.

Keep you guys posted

That mistake could kill his turbo. Ive seen turbos blown on the dyno because of this...overspinning

 

[Metal MP5]

there was a link to this thread in another one i was reading ... were those dyno sheets ever posted? i'd love to see them. awesome numbers

i love the manifold

That pic of your car i nthe dark garage is sweet. Stupid suggestion, but did u check your wastegate? LOL that would be funny. And to comment on your tuner's suggestion of not running an air filter... Always run one on a turbo'd car, or you're in for a very expensive season...

 

[Metal MP5]

well you have to at least put a screen on the inlet
