Where is this being done at, anyway?

Sorry man just saw this, I was at MAP.
So I took a quick trip to MAP for just 3 dyno pulls. Since I'd never been on the RavenWorks dyno before, I didn't really know how it read in comparison to other dynos. I made 545hp at RavenWorks. Bob estimated that'd be 570 or so on a DynoJet. So I went to MAP to see for myself. Car made 561hp / 471tq. It was a considerably hotter day out, and in the dyno room. So I think Bob's estimate was about right, probably about a 5% difference. Best pull attached. Scanner is being a bastard so hard to see the lines. |
Re: Project Lex
Fun car, fun power level. 2jz no shit.

Re: Project Lex
^Agreed.
what's with the 50hp jump in the last 1000rpm? 1 psi? |
Re: Project Lex
Nice numbers!

Re: Project Lex
No idea. Part of me wonders if the rad fan had turned on, then turned off at the end at a certain RPM. After all it was pretty hot, and I had the A/C on for the whole drive there :)

Operation redo interior is underway. Most of this will get done over the winter, but I've started a couple little things as well as started accumulating parts. Basically I'll be redoing the interior to either black, or a black / brown combo (kinda like seen in some bimmers). And as previously mentioned, will also be fitting in some different (lighter) front seats.
So far I've purchased and installed new black floor mats, black armrest, and black rear view mirror. I purchased new interior door panels since mine are not in good shape. Anything that is broken I'm buying replacements. Otherwise I'm just going to try dying the rest with SEM. |

So I had dipped my wheels a couple months ago, but hated how it turned out. I dipped them charcoal with pearlizer over the top. Ended up just looking cheezy and inconsistent with the pearl overcoat. So I peeled it all off and told myself I'm only doing single stage colors now.
I bought a test can of the silver mettalic and the anthracite metallic. I tested them on my spare set of FD wheels. Had a hard time choosing but I was leaning towards the silver since I think it just looks clean and unassuming, which fits what I'm going for with this car. However I already kind of know what silver looks like on the car, so I went ahead and bought anthracite. I got the rears done, I think it gives it a much more aggressive look which is kind of cool. I also went from 5mm spacers to 10mm spacers in the rear as well, along with longer studs. I like how it looks, more aggressive. I'll get the fronts done eventually as well. Then will just see how I like them. If I decide I liked silver better, I'll just buy silver and spray right over it. Here's a few pics. Before shot of the rears (car on dyno). Then a couple after shots. Also a pic of my silver/anthracite test wheels |
Re: Project Lex
Looking good, i love dark grey/silver colors.
Nice meats in the back, what tire is that and what size? |
Re: Project Lex
They are the Nitto NT05-R's. They are the 17" ones, I think 275/40/17 is the exact size, otherwise you can look on their site.

Re: Project Lex
I like the darker color, I want like that on my car.
|
Re: Project Lex
The dark color looks nice. Hard to disguise a good tire :)

Re: Project Lex
Well yesterday evening the car decided it wants to be a 4cyl. Right now it appears the injector drivers within the MS box for cylinders 4 & 6 have died. Have a couple tests I will do tonight to help verify this. Hopefully DIYAutotune can get me some new bits to fix this. Talking to my buddy in FL, he's ran into this before, even more so on the EV14 style injectors. No real good explanation as for why though. Kinda nice to know it's not just me, but still kinda sucks.
Aaron remember I was saying the car didn't feel as fast for some reason. I wonder if these have been intermittently dying over the past week or so, and finally kicked the bucket. Also I wonder if it is partially responsible for that strange dip in my MAP dyno chart? |
Re: Project Lex
Yeah I remember you saying that. Good luck getting it fixed
|
Re: Project Lex
Crappy, hopefully its an easy fix. wheels look good! What suspension are you on? I think dropping it a bit more would make the car look a bit more aggressive overall. No stance though plz.
