Sounds good so far!

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

Nice numbers Mr. Hill... Are you using AEM or link and what fuel pump are you running?

Its good to see the car out of the garage and "almost" ready for the track!

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

Well, it MUST be the EMS to control the 16,000 injectors he has stashed in that car! as for pumps..2 255's?

Of course rpm has some to do with the motor going if you are reving the shit out of it all the time but I think running really high boost has more to do with it. In Steves case if he keeps it around 30-33psi give or take it should be fine with a good tune. The failures you read about are usually people that are in the 35psi-40+psi range.

Its seems like half the DSMs you read about in the high 9s and low 10s are running that 3575.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

But is it due to high psi or a bad tune with high psi?

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

That's exactly what I told Shane and Dan.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

About 1500 miles. The other 2.4 I built at the same time has around 10K miles at a similar power level and gets flogged on the streets of Duluth regularly. They seem to hold up fine.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

There's no room to put a second clamp on there with the 90 degree bend. There's barely enough surface area to clamp the coupler to, plus it's a hard 90 bend, so the boost is probably trying to push down on the pipe as well. We'll get that taken care of this week.

Shane would know the timing numbers, I just brought it down to the shop and parked it and drove something with air conditioning home. :cheer:

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

AEM. 1600cc injectors, 720cc secondaries not wired up yet, didn't need them after all. (2) walbro 255HP's in tank T'd together.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

I'd say bad tune normally, but some 2.4's have just had cylinder wall cracks from a possible bad casting like Mo's.

We set the rev limiter to 8000 for the dyno, but I was running it up as high as 8500 rpm last year.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

Pffff 519 awhp is sooooo 2004. :jackoff:




Nice numbers Steve! It's awesome to see when all that time and effort pays off.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

Congrats Steve, nice setup! that is great power for that dyno, can't wait to see your car again.


For the guy who asked about how long a 2.4 will last - I have over 20,000 miles on my 2.4 that QPR built. I had the head off this past winter for a new headgasket and everything looked nice and fresh. I don't take it over 8,000rpm as I am running a stock intake. I run e85 and 27psi behind a pte 3561. I need to get this thing into Shane's hands.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

Thanks guys, i am looking to do the 2.4 thing again once my 2.0L goes, but it doesn't want to, so i will have fun with it.
Steve gonna test this new tune at CFR next weekend?

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

Maybe.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

Simply awesome! I hope to get near 500whp someday! How's the gas mileage??? j/k but seriously?

Congratulations!

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

try these, you will never have a boost leak problem again and you can run 100+ psi all day without blowing them out. plus they are pretty bling :D so hows the daily driving with that much power, any 4 wheel burnouts??

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

here is a link for buying them, they are not cheap. http://www.titanmotorsports.com/adwicl.html

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

I remember when wiggins where $100+ for one.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

I remember that as well... It was like, last year when I was having issues with blowing couplers as well. Heh


Steve... Have you tried any hairspray? This helped me last year at over 35psi.

Re: 519 AWHP- So far....
 

Re-route it so it doesn't have any extreme bends.

Looks like a fun car.
