Woot!
Stop by and see a brother!

I'll have to once shes really moving. It's starting to feel pretty good, but i don't wanna tease you. I know you want to feel it all in :D

[turbotalon1g]

She likes when I go all in.

Haven't had a ton of time on this car, but got some logs in today. I think we're already maxing out the flow of this new turbo. Here's a screen shot. You can see the boost pressure tapering off quite a bit (bright green line). But airflow is pretty steady & flat (aqua blue line). So we will still continue to up the boost but I think it'll only really make more boost early on, because at like 7000rpm and beyond I don't think it's going to flow much more actual air.

AEM shows a 710hp estimate. For comparison last year when I made 709hp @ DB, AEM estimated roughly 630hp. So a 70-80hp difference then, so if it's similar on the new setup that means I should be somewhere around 780ish or so. We will see, someday I'm going to get it on the dyno.

Lookin' good!

Dyno @ DB 9/11 @ 10am with Danny on their DynoJet!!

Street tuning is 99% done. I'm going to send Vlad one last log to verify but I think we are done! Five Boost settings (WG ~16psi ; 19psi ; 22psi ; 26psi ; AllThePSI ~30). Last year I had Vlad do some final dialing in on the dyno to squeeze out everything we could. This year I'm not going to do that. We got it running full steam, it's dialed in good and safe, I just don't feel the need to spend more time/money/energy to squeeze maybe another 10hp or something out of it with the help of the dyno. So I'm just going to go to DB to do some pulls just to see how it does, no tuning or anything. Based on what I'm seeing in AEM and the butt dyno, I'm hoping for right around 775hp, we shall see!

Also I got some new under trays from Z30 Concepts. I'm missing a factory piece to finish bolting up the rear. Once I have that it'll be buttoned up. But very happy with the fit n finish. Gave me a great price since I ordered the full set.

Riding on one wheel? Brave man!

[A//// Guy]

Awesome! That undertray looks super pimp!

[Kracka]

Definitely like that undertray, that's cool. Should be very beneficial as well. I know there was a huge difference in aero, cooling, and road noise with the factory Evo undertrays removed.

[Halon]

Thanks. I paid $198 shipped for the whole undertray setup. It's super lightweight so won't add any noticeable weight. Very happy with it.
