Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Well I did a rough tune last night at 27 psi and it was up and down but all in the 11 AFR range. This thing pulls alot harder then what I was expecting. A little more brake in time on the new motor and if all is well with that then I may have to try and get it on the dyno at the spring dyno day. By the looks of my injector duty I may be able to bump boost up to 30 or so since it is running 11:0 up top but injectors are running full. I think this means that my single wolbro 255hp is about maxed out. :)

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

I wanna see this thing on the dyno dude.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

haha u should test and compare with Mike and I haha.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

I got a new convert top on tonight and also started to take apart the extra rear end I have so I can swap it in the car. The one thats in there is making a constant loud howl. Hope to have it up and moving this weekend again.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Saw this thing a week or so ago. Looks great man, kinda has me thinking about getting one.

You'll have to take me for a spin in it one of these days. If you ever need someone to man the laptop while you're doing some pulls, let me know!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Sounds good! I am supposed to be closing on my house tomorrow (Friday) so I dont know if ill get to tuning it like I wanted to this weekend.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

This weekend wouldn't work too well anyhow as my g/f will be here all weekend. Let me know though.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Well the car WAS up and running and feels very very strong. The tune is safe for now but just not a smooth 11.5. It will go a tad leaner and richer here and there but is safe for now. The dsmlink HP estimator said 508 hp or so, I wonder how close they actually are. Did a nice 1-4th gear pull and the stock tranny disagreed with that and lost a few teeth on some gears.

Thanks to SHEP and their friendly staff I was able to get a trans built and it will be here Monday. Happy B day to me since that is my Birthday as well!

I got a stage 4 with evo 1st gear upgrade, all new shafts, and cant wait to put it in. I will be able to make it to the cookout after all :).

Im bead blasting my transfer case to match my brand new tranny and will be putting everything back together with clean hands so nothing gets dirty. If anyone has a bad 2g awd tranny let me know because I need to send another one into shep since some of the parts on my core were bad and need to get him a good core.

More pictures and updates to come.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build

Next is installing the new rear differential, finishing exhaust, putting all new fluids in, transfer case install, and clean it very well. Cant wait to see how the new shep trans drives.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Bad ass man, I like!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

very nice. just got to love the last min. fixes and up grades to make the cookout

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

You bet and somehow it happens every year this way. If only the cookout was at the beginning of the summer then I would have a running car all summer.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Grats! That's a really clean engine bay vs. mine and the majority.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Love it. ; D I'm jealous. Trying to make my car AWD but unlike yours the 08 spyders don't convert easily.

More pics!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Thanks! I have an idea for you, buy mine when I put it for sale here after its all together again.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Oh man thats a sexy transmission!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

The tranny was my "blinging up" before the cookout.
