hahaha, A+

Hahaha, Should of videotapped it

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

I don't usually literally laugh out loud, but I did to this. My wife wondered wtf, so I had her read it. That's one of the best stories I've heard.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Ha same here? Mo, just read it to my gf

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

LOL my wife did that once in the evo8. She said it was just the weird floating feeling when I 'did that shifter thing' (NLTS) that gave her stomach butterflies. Good shit :)

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Awesome looking forward to seeing what it picks up at the track! :mj:

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

I’m going to dyno it to after I get my Magnus V3 Cast intake on the car. I did check the IDC @ 35 PSI, on a set of 2150’s it is 83% @ 9krpm, with an AFR of 11.6. I’m using a base fuel pressure of 44.5psi. I don’t have a comparison to that from the old setup. I would need to turn the boost up to the mid 40 psi range to even start to compare.

In the power department I changed a lot of things this year:
Map stage 5 head (The head that was on the car was a factory cast head!), bumped compression by a point, billet 76mm compressor wheel on the 42R, 3.5 aluminized steel to 4” aluminum exhaust, and to wrap it up I’m waiting on the new cast Magnus intake manifold.

I also figure that I removed 125 lbs from the car, even with adding carpet and door panels.

This year should be good, hoping to get deeper in the 9’s, a trap speed of 160+ would be nice too.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

This thing is insane. I would friggen pay money just to get a ride in this thing haha

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Fuck that nuts.
what did u do to raise compression?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Add material to the combustion chamber? I thought you upgraded to the 4202 GTX billet 74, but billet 76, dang.

What fuel pump do you have?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

The GTX 4202 is a 76mm.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

The story about giving your wife a ride is hilarious! I need a ride.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Now stuff that motor into a Conquest TSi!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Yep GTX is a 76mm, so is PTE. Garret will not upgrade a cast 74 wheel to a billet 76, however PTE will. 800 dollars buys you a billet wheel, compressor housing and an aluminum back plate.

This wheel is sick.
This is a better pic:

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

I gained compression by building a new long block this year, so new pistons. I’m using a fuel lab pump, I think the 1800 hp version?? Got it from MAP, It has an internal speed regulator. I had an A1000 with an Aeromotive pump controller, sold it all on E-Batch for almost the price of the new pump! Funny thing is that it flows more fuel in idle mode than the A1000….Unfortunately I need to upgrade my FP regulator to a pro series Aeromotive unit. The standard a1000 Aeromotive FP regulator would not return enough to the tank, thus raising fuel rail pressure making tuning a bitch.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

9:1, it was 7.8:1. I cannot wait to get a fresh supply of E98 to get the boost up to where it was last year. Then I can see how this setup shines!!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

It's a good thing that she is a great sport. The last time she rode in the car it had a GT4067R on it, tuned at 30 psi. Its not the same carnival ride now!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

I'm excited to see some video of this thing.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Nice, F video I want a ride.

7.8:1, thats pretty low. I can't wait to see this in action i didn't get a good look at your passes last year.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Well it’s been awhile since the last post. The car is running great. I have a fresh supply of E98 and I’m off to the track once again in hopes of getting my license passes completed. I hope the car makes it off of the trailer this time! I went out today for a quick 3rd gear pull to check the tune, AFR's are good and boost holds 43psi, so tomorrow should be a good day if everything holds together! I should get my magnus cast manifold next week, hopefully it will give me enough time to get it in before the MAP event.
