Will my fricken' luck ever change?

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

Just out of curiosity, what plugs and gap are you running? We ran into some miss-firing on my car also. I was running stock BPR6's gapped at .020. Swapped in some 7's gapped at .020 and the issue was gone.

Another dumb question, but if you turn the boost to the minimum you can run, do you still have miss-firing issues at higher RPM's? As I'm sure you're well aware of, the more boost you run, the more your chances of running into spark related issues.

Great numbers though. I think you have a TON of more power in that thing if you can get it all worked out. Like brownman said, 500 on DB's dyno is nothing to laugh at. We all know that, no need to tell us what it'd make on a DynoJet. I'm sure you'd walk me, considering I have hardly any weight reduction done.

What tires are you running btw? I haven't gotten squirrelly in 3rd yet, just 1st and 2nd. I'm on some 235/45/17 HTRZ3's, and they seem to be gripping quite well.

I say run 'em!!!!! with video.

Pretty sure he'd wax my ass, so it's not even funny. brandon has that thing called "awesome poewrband..with power!" not only does he make more, but he makes more, with more to use.

Coming to hooters tonight? :D

Thanks guys for your input. I wanna say again it's no fault of anyone here, or am I blaming everyone..I'm just disappointed in power vs/ boost, and the revving issues.

Brandon, we swapped my plugs once they got bad on the dyno, with new ones..bpr7es, gapped to I BELIEVE .020? (shane?)
Boost at a minimum still won't allow it to rev past that 7950..it hits a wall, sounds/feels like it's a hard, rather rapid 2-step cut, and falls on it's face. Gas planted to the floor, it WILL NOT rev past. But, free-reving, it will all the way. Yes, we checked and double checked all rev limiters, and the ignition setup, like hte MSD box and such.

Tires are def. an issue..3rd..and If I remember right 4th too last night(cooler out?). They are Riken raptor ZR's..225/50/16. The rims are 16x8 I'm pretty sure (maybe 16x 8.5) and I wanna go to a wider tire setup..perhaps something in a 245/255 variant.

If free revving works....what if you back off to like 80% throttle @ 8k....?

[Swifty1638]

still hits wall..any kinda load it hates life.

And, hooters MAYBE. But, I assure you..you'll win. You get better traction, more power, powerband, and my car is hitting some fuel issues up higher rpms', say if I start out at 40 in 2nd or 3rd.. it doesn't like WOT..then clears, then goes..then hits the rev limiter shane set.

To bad you live in Savage. Can't swing by anymore to look issues quickly.

lol i'm closer to your work then you are..lol

You should have never changed your exhaust housingnto that .82?? I still have that .68 at exhaust housing on my ride. It spools very quick for a bigger turbo and makes great power. I vote to go back to the .68ar housing. :-)

[Swifty1638]

I have a divided .70 housing, with the divided manifold. Before it was an undivided .58.

Ahh my bad I thought you had the big housing. How come it's so laggy??
