lol. I'm going to be doing my valve cover after the event this coming weekend. I've got way to much left to do to worry about the stock color valve cover lol.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Get this thing running already! :) Looks good and hope to see it on the road soon.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Progresso!!! turning the key on tomorrow night!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Its alive!!!! Dyno on thursday, so long as its all good to go.

Re: Progress since last year
 

I'm excited to see some numbers on this thing.

Re: Progress since last year
 

As am I, should be pretty beast.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Thanks guy's! I'll post up some numbers.

Re: Progress since last year
 

You get on the dyno with this thing yet?

Re: Progress since last year
 

Still waiting on fuelab to send my pump back. :(

Re: Progress since last year
 

?? Was there something wrong with the one you got from them?

Re: Progress since last year
 

It quit working after the first startup?

Re: Progress since last year
 

I got about 5 miles on the car with the new setup on it and went to start it the thursday before proving grounds and the pump would just not turn on. I checked all possible things outside of the pump and found voltage running through the pump but it was not spinning. I just got off the phone with Brian from fuelab today and he said his software engineer is going to take a look at it today and they should have it fixed and in the mail back to me today or tomorrow at the latest.

Re: Progress since last year
 

hmmm off to the dyno?? What?

Re: Progress since last year
 

WHen, text please.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Will do!! Tomorrow I'm thinking.

Re: Progress since last year
 

soooooooooooo????????????

Re: Progress since last year
 

Fuel pump issues still.

Re: Progress since last year
 

For real?

Re: Progress since last year
 

Re: Progress since last year
 

Mo your right kinda. I decided to say fuck it and drive it to work today. After a little while on the highway I flipped the switch to low speed and it seemed to work ok. So for now... Its running and I beat a new ss camaro ( not sayin much lol) plate said "ss maro" lol. I part throttled it since I need to build dump tubes still.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Fuel issues FTL.

Re: Progress since last year
 

damn that sucks you really can't rely on that pump, twin walbros will make 1000whp.

Re: Progress since last year
 

I just bought an A1000, good luck with the fuel lab pump.

Re: Progress since last year
 

The pump works great on high speed!! I drove it to work on Friday. I got about 5 minutes into the drive, and flipped it to low speed to see what would happen. To my surprise it worked great! So, I'm going to use it for now, and see what Fuelab guys want me to do. The car felt really really strong doing some part throttle pulls. I'm seeing over 20psi part throttle before 4200rpm! The power band is going to be pretty braud. I've been wanting to keep this pump because its not noisy (My car is a street driven car) like the A1000 or the eliminator. If I do end up switching to a different pump it will be the eliminator.

Nate I don't want to deal with the wally's. When one starts to lose its potential, and the car slowly start running out of fuel. Not knowing the pump's doing that is not something I'd like to risk. Like I said before I don't want to have to worry as well about running out of fuel if and when I want to make more power.

Re: Progress since last year
 

^I need a ride that spools way too fast.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Get something with a bigger engine.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Tuned on 27-29psi on the street right now. Feels pretty good! injector duity is at about 80% and I have my fuel pressure at 38psi lol. I was still taking fuel out of it just to get it to come off of the 10.0:1 on the wideband.

Re: Progress since last year
 

So what did it make at 29psi? Did you leave out that tidbit of info just so we'd ask? :)

Re: Progress since last year
 

He said it was street tuned, hard to get good number from that. :)

Re: Progress since last year
 

Now that I looked closer at the boost its at 25psi right now. I'll get some numbers here soon!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Thats what I get for half reading posts at 3am. :)

Re: Progress since last year
 

Hitting the dyno tomorrow night around 8pm. :)

Re: Progress since last year
 

Oh snaps, looking forward to see what this thing makes!

Re: Progress since last year
 

I am there. Ok maybe not, but thats great news, good luck.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Should be leaving here (at work now) around 8:30. Hope to have the car strapped down around 9 and give the boost controller a few cranks. I'm hoping for some big numbers but, you never know what will happen with these cars lol. Shooting for 35psi on e85. Anyone want to venture a guess on hp numbers?

Re: Progress since last year
 

That billet 6765 seems like a darn good turbo. If I had my good tires on the car I would have thought about running you.

~John

Re: Progress since last year
 

Yeah, that turbo seems to get the job done. I didn't think there would be a 200whp gain from 10 psi. After I got it on the street I had some ignition issues. I'll be putting in one of those new aem ignition box's to fix that.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Well, hit the dyno and had some issues... I hooked my vacuum lines to the bottom of the waste gates instead of the top. So, I was trying to make boost that way. I was stuck at 25psi making like 560hp, then I had a buddy look at my stuff, and he call me a retard, which I accepted the failure lol. I then hooked my lines to the top of the gates, and did a quick pull to see what boost was at. I ran out of time. At map you have to stop dyno'n at 10pm or else the cops show up pissed. So it was half assed tuned, and hit 35 psi quickly and missed a little. I let off as you can see on the graph. It made 734awhp, and 593ft lbs. I need a ignition box, and that's about it.

The 530hp is my last year set up. Switching to the top mount manifold has been a great change and also the turbo selection is awesome. This thing is a beast on the street for sure! I lost no spool up time with the new manifold. I'm very happy with the setup so far! If you look really close my tq hit is actually about 2-300rpm sooner then last year.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Wow Awesome power man!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Wow, nuts man! I shouldve stick around work for a little while longer and seen it in action! Are you coming back for a retune? Or gonna wait to get an ignition box?
