9krpmrx8, what wheels are toughs? Mine are stock & yours are sexy!

 

More clear pics. I tried to get one of the water neck & housing but the downpipe blocks it all & didn't show anything. Next time I have the downpipe off, I will differently get a picture for you. Tried to get a few angles.

 

They're running XP I don't think they care to much about 'updates'.

 

if i could add some suggestions?
The oem coils will be "OK", but they will not last as long as with na.
At this power level you need a better ignition. Check them out--several options are out there.
Running colder plugs --I guess?
You didnt mention your fuel system--if you are still running on the oem fuel pump--swap out your old one for the s2 model--and soon. I would hate to see you have a fuel delivery problem.
Did they leave the intake valves opening at the oem times?
how is the intake air temps measured? The cars systems voltage in part is determined by the iat's that are sent to the pcm which in turn allows the voltage regulator to either up the system voltage or reduce it.
Sorry for all the questions!

 

What do you call modded? My FD did 315whp with just bolt-ons at 12psi on stock twins, and it weights 2800lbs. So it was either stock, automatic, miss shifted or let you win :D


Less boost required, less heat, less stress, etc etc.

 

Anything modified is modified

 

Makes no sense if you understand what boost is and what stresses an engine.
It's only less efficient, slower spooling and heavier.

 

All sounds good to me - 310 on 8.5psi is realistic and a good indicator as to what the potential for the kit will be . The fact they got that on the very first tune is testament to a job well done IMO.
400 whp at about 15-16psi should be very possible

What is controlling the coil dwell - microtec or stock ECU ? If it is the stock ECU you will want to up the dwell 5-10% from about 5000rpm on up before you try running more boost .

 

Yep, and on a motor with such high mileage, that is just crazy.

 

I'll tell you what is crazy ... believing 400+whp on a GT35 @ 10psi . And we all lapped it up

 

Yeah

 

It does makes sense if YOU understood what boost is and what stresses an engine.
Don't make assumptions about what people do or don't know.

What's better 310whp on a small turbo pushing 20psi, or a bigger turbo at 8psi? It also depends on what you want to accomplish with the engine.

Depends on where in the compressor and turbine maps the Pressure Ratio and Flow are, the compressed air actual temperature vs calculated, etc.

Agree

There are many ways to see things and to design systems based on the goals to be attained.

 

310 is hardly any more than an upgraded Greddy will make on 8.5 psi as well so i don't think well ever see 20psi and 310whp on any setup that has been installed properly. But I get your point .

 

I wonder if that dip has something to do with this :

I would say definitely not ... But good find anyway !

 

Interesting. However my BHR pumps holds strong at 60psi thru-out the power band, it never drops below 58psi or so. As long as my tank doesn't fall below 1/4 tank or so.

 

maybe .......... but it's not like you have really tested it yet either . I did have an issue with mine when i first fitted it . After a hard left down to 1/8 tank and wot through the gears it gave up at the end of third gear . Was told at the time it was another issue ...... by guess who

 

I would find a turbo and run it in its efficiency range, which varies depending on the engine. That was my point: a gt35 is useless when there are other turbos with better flow charts, compressor maps, whatever to make the same power while spooling sooner.

 

explain the fp video--did the fp falter while the voltage was constant?
doesnt the fp need some head pressure to continue its flow consistently? The pick up and the cup on the s1 model is wack.

 

yall do not ignore my question concerning the iats relationship to the systems voltage. 1/2 to 1 volt is a huge difference to the f/p and makes tuning the dwell/fuel injectors more difficult.

 

Has nothing to do with voltage, the FP sucks more fuel than the housing can refill.

 

True, I have not tested under track conditions.

 

subscribed; that looks a lot better than that tuna can charger on the Greddy kit.

 

Sweet set up. Gotta be happy with the power you are getting.

I have found with increasing boost preassure I am now getting more oil blow by via the filler neck. I have now installed a catch can to deal with the issue. So, if you are on a high mileage engine then you may suffer from similar problems as you increase boost as boost will escape past the side seals and preasurise the crankcase.

 

then that is one reason the s2's where designed differently--thanks for the video link--picture is worth a 1000 words!
