Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Should put up some good numbers, good luck on the dyno and the track!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Just get one, buy another bby one.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I wouldn't even try to re-use/clean an oil cooler from a motor that put any shavings into the oil. It can be an expensive part of a new motor build to get a new oil cooler from Mitsu or build an aftermarket setup, unless you are lucky to find a used one that you are 100% sure came from a clean running motor.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Excactly why I bought a used one from a good motor, I didnt want to spend 600 from the dealership and I needed one asap so I found someone local that is switching to an aftermarket one. This engine was way to expensive to take the chance on an oil cooler that I cleaned out.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Smart move not re-using it. Re-using a spun bearing victim oil cooler is a great way to burn some money without actually setting it on fire.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

So in that case, if it gets that embeded into the components to the point that you can't clean it out without being able to "scrub" it, do you also replace the oil filter housing, the pick-up screen, the oil-pump, catch-can and all lines, valve cover, the dip stick tube? Where does it end?

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

You take all of the plugs out of the oil filter housing and clean it. Sometimes you can clean the pickup screen, sometimes you replace it. You normally change the oil pump with any rebuild. Catch-can shouldn't put oil back into the motor. Hopefully shavings aren't in the valve cover baffles, you atleast clean it. Dipstick tube is easy to clean. So kinda yes. It's just not easy to clean an oil cooler or know if it's clean and it's not worth destroying a motor over it.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

The cost of an aftermarket oil cooler setup is always cheaper then motor damage. What size exhaust housing is that? Nice setup.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Just got a txt from mike....his ignition is breaking up, but he made ~430whp @ 17psi on RS's mustang dyno. 'full boost' (lol) hits at 4350rpm.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Ya I need to invest into spark tech or some type of other ignition setup. We only took her up to 7000 also. Still plenty of power to be made on pump. The just rips now.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Post up your dyno graph already sucka!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

^Hell yeah.

That shit spools fast. I was getting 22psi by 4200rpm on my 61 on stock 1g bottom end.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

He does have a 2.3l and a GT4088R is inbetween a 61 and 67 in size, so it shouldn't be crazy laggy.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

pretty good numbers on the mustang

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Oh, well thanks for that.

Pirate turbos just blow my mind.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

ARRRRRRRRRR

It's a 63.5mm compressor wheel. There are a couple possible exhaust wheels. We put 2 of the non-R GT4088s on Kenny's TT Mustang. The non-DBB ones used to be dirt cheap.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Im actually really not sure when full boost hits, I really diddnt look at the sheet to closley. I will post that up when I get my scanner to work. I need spark tech to turn the boost up so the ignition doesnt break up.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Sucks about it breaking up but still put down some good power! Was that on e85?

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

No this was at 17 psi on BP92. I was going to turn the boost up to 24 yesterday on pump. I guess I will just have to wait to put down the bigger numbers till I get my tax returns back for a better ignition. I have the dual pumper laying around ready to go in and get tuned on e-85. Heres the graph

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Wow that thing is just dead below 4600! Great top end but the midrange is what kills a setup like that for me. Great power for such low boost though, should be fun to rip around in for a while, but do you think you'll get sick of having an n/a car under 4000rpms?

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I love driving this around, im not always in boost anymore. I would have loved to get the red but I think I made the right choice on this setup instead, I have plenty of time to try other setups.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I would honestly like the lag. Talk about some good gas mileage!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Some lag is fun, cause when it hits hard, it feels great, unless its a tiny turbo lagging, then you just have a boring car w/ problems. Haha.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I hate lag and couldn't handle the delayed response; glad you're happy though!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

There is no lag if you are in the right gear.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Driving around at 5k RPM is only feasible in a S2k :)

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

How is the transient response on this setup? Like if you do a 2-3 shift at 7k, does it re-spool anywhere near as fast as the stock turbo?

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

When I shift at 7 its pretty much fully spooled when I hit 3rd if I can shift fast enough, my transmission doesnt like 3rd gear to much but 3rd to 4th is amazing. I think my next mod is shep trans and tcase.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Nice that is sick.
Can I get a ride?
Have I met you before? I drive a black and white dsm i might of met you on a monday night. Did you use to have a 35R

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

lol, no this used to be a stock car.

If you've ever bumped into me, Mike is usually there too.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I think I have met you a few times at the cookout and other meets, Im always with kevin or blageo. My car came from being pretty much stock a month and a half ago to being what it is today.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

lol I know mike..when do I get a ride man?

-A. Swift

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Oh ok. well good then kinda. apart from the fact you hang with kevin.

jk. those guys are good shit.
Well good luck, be good to see you all sometime soon.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I should have the buschur racing COP setup next week, then its time to drop in my dual pump setup and crank the boost up on some e-85.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Badass! What made you choose this over a spark-tech? Those things look so badass:

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

^^^ Hey thats most wanted evo 9 rs with the red. I am getting this kit because Im getting it used for alot cheaper than I can get the spark tec kit.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

sweet. hopefully you can make a lot more power!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

So I have been having some problems with to much pressure in my cooling system, last night I blew a coolant hose that goes from the intake manifold to the head. I then noticed today that my radiator cap is a 30psi cap. Im going to be changing that out and hopfully I will stop bursting hoses. I know some of you guys will point fingers at maybe me having a blown headgasket but I dont think thats the case since I pressurized the cooling system today to 30psi and there was no leaks anywhere and also I used that chemical tester and it all turned out good there as well. I also did a complete leakdown test too. I should be picking up some cool new toys soon for the car, AEM wideband, new radiator, new ignition system, and install my dual walbro full blown assembly.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

about time... jeez.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Ya careful what you suggest, someone might jump down your throat, make personal insults and generally act like an ass...oh wait, not on this forum ;)
