Washed the car today, I need a good camera, the iphone doesn't cut it. But the car just looked good from here, I felt the need to take a pic.

Shit's tits-a-poppin', son!

Got just under 300 miles on the car now, it feels great so far! After about 100 miles the engine started to feel like it tightened up or something, hard to explain, I think its a good thing :)

I did dozens of vacuum pulls so I should be good on that front...tune is a coming soon.

How's the EF4 so far? Feel responsive?

[Murlo26]

It's tough to say for sure for two reasons.

1. I haven't gone over like 3, maybe 4psi.
2. The new motor is totally different from the old one, 10% more displacement and compression.

But initial impressions are very good, meaning I think this thing even with the tubular mani and being a bigger turbo will spool pretty damn quick. It feels peppy for sure. Before I didn't feel much around 3k rpms, now it wants to spool around there on the new setup.

I am hoping for full boost around 4k, but we will see.

I don't know if you will get "full boost" by 4000, I know the EF2 would, but also depends on boost and such. Good luck. Let me know how the tunage goes.

remember this is a 10 not an 8/9.

My black hit 36-37psi by 4200rpms on DB's dyno last time on my 2.0L.

With an extra 10% displacement it should be another 400rpms or so lower on the EF4 I would think.

The EF4 is a bit bigger so it could be more like 4200-4400rpms but I wouldn't think over 4500rpms on the setup, we will see. I am also not boosting high 30's this time, so that is another factor.

ah yes, i forgot sorry.

That is nuts on the black.

Andrew is getting full boost from his EF3 with a 2.3L faster than a 2.0L spools a Green.
