God I hope so, lol. I didn't read the whole thread so I got worried, i was gonna say 500whp through a side mount, LOL.

you can't run 500hp on a stock smic? Ha ya it's a fmic and was trying to say my SMIM cracked. Dam phones and their small keyboards.

Excellent, lol. I went back and looked at pics and saw the GIANT ASS FMIC, i will sit and wait for numbers now.

My compressor housing leaks in the same spot. My car will stumble and go real rich at low rpm apon spool-up. I'm gonna take it back off before I hit the dyno and put some rtv around it. There is supposed to be a o-ring there though.

[95talonracer]

Oh weird because I had PTE put a BB center section in mine directly and they didn.t put an O ring in there and I have not touched it. The leak is very minimal and I got all ofthe big ones sealed up so I think I'm good to go.

[turbotalon1g]

There was no Oring on my old scm61, i just sealed it with a ton of RTV

[95talonracer]

Ya that would work.

[4g63tcrazy]

I rtv'd mine but it still leaks. I had to clock the housing a little after the rtv cured though so that's probably why.

Bad cell phone photos but better pictures will come this weekend. The car is all ready for tomorrow. It is only at 19psi and 10.0 flat AF and pulls pretty good right now without being fully tuned so I cant wait. It kind of sucks it will be 85* out when being tuned. Will that affect my power and tune vs a 70* day that much? I think DB just has the door open for tuning warm or cool right?

[turbotalon1g]

Looks great as always man, good luck and give me a shout if you need anything, once i get my stock cams put in i am free for the day.

[95talonracer]

Thanks Aaron. Ill be working all day and have a later appointment so ill post up in the evening tomorrow. Just in time to have some fun with it this longer then normal weekend.

And on another note, I have had very good luck with bigger cams, 1600's and being able to idle. I tuned in the low low RPM and idle with this combo and i idle around 1000 rpm and i can just let off the gas with the clutch in after a pull and it goes right to 1000 rpm and stays there with no issues at all. Thank i am happy about because I have heard of many people having issues idling with 1600 injectors.

I think the idle issue is not with the RPM not stopping at the idle RPM, but with the idle just being rough and shitty.

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! WOOO!

[95talonracer]

Ya mine idles without any issue as far as I can tell especially with bigger cams. It runs and thats all that counts. Now after tomorrow I can just drive it this summer and have fun. No more modding. Just keep it clean and drivable.

[turbotalon1g]

FWIW, I had no issues with idle and FIC 1600s with BC280s. I just hated that cruise hiccup.

[scheides]

Good luck man, post up updates as you can!

[95talonracer]

that is why it feels like it is cutting out when I'm crusing huh? I can't stand that. What is there to do to fix that?

[GsXtUrBo98]

What time is ur appointment?

[turbotalon1g]

There is no fix for that I am afraid, just deal with it from what I have found out and talked to other users.

5:00 BABY! woo. get a bigger turbo
