My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived

[FattyBoomBatty]

Well, that's awesome, Ryan! The one time I remember seeing this car was under the balcony or whatever in your backyard, lol. It was a sorry sight. We can drag against each other this summer, maybe!

[MustGoFaster]

This car was never in my back yard. That's my other one. That still doesn't run.

Oh, and it did 200 HP on the first pull, 7 PSI, with some tuning to be done at that boost level.

way to go Ryan

[MustGoFaster]

It probably would have been a bit further along but I ran into a wired electrical issue. The car would die sometimes or not start. (crank but not fire) I think I took care of it though, the ECU ground went to a metal piece for the center council, but for some reason that piece wasn’t bolted to the chassis. Probably the same reason the car didn't come with a radio. The hardest problems to fix are the ones that don't stay broken.

[MustGoFaster]

Well it got some tuning last night. After a tweak or two it made 220HP at 7 PSI. After turning the boost up it made 322 AWHP, 338 AWTQ. At 14 PSI.

Stock MAS
Stock intake pipes
Stock IC piping
Stock IC's
Stock Cat back
Stock Motor
K&N
Down pipe
19T's
880's
AEM
South Bend Rally clutch
Koyo Radiator


Some of that stock stuff is causing a bit of restriction. I will probably be upgrading some of that stuff so I can get a bit more out of it. Oh, and I doubt the 5 month old gas I bought in BFE Wisconsin was all that great either (it was BP though). At this point the car is mostly a conglomeration of parts I had picked up with other plans. (AEM, 880's 19t's).

Looking good buddy, i will have to tag along with you to some of these RR events.

[scheides]

Awesome! Post up the dyno chart when you get time. Having those parts in your DD will be more fun IMHO, that way you will actually get to use them and use them often! Looks like a fun ride and 320whp is a nice number for the street!

[Kracka]

Nice numbers!

[MustGoFaster]

Well this isn't my DD, but it maybe, if I can get the fuel economy up a little from what is used to be (20 mpg, bad O2's fuel trims at 132%). Last summer I just drove it on weekends and a for a few weeks after I got it. I really don't know if I really want a car this fast for DD'ing, to easy to get into trouble. Maybe I just need to get used to it again. I do plan on doing some intake pipes, and then something for better intercooling. Then turn it up a bit more. And maybe a cat back after that. I like it quiet, it's more enjoyable that way. I'll post up a graph later today if I have time.

[MustGoFaster]

So, I had a small electrical issue to fix with the fuel pump, and after fixing that neede to dial the AFR back in. New numbers.

Not bad for a nice DD! Why the lag?

[MustGoFaster]

The turbo's are a bit restricted right now, but I don't expect it to get a whole ton better. They are capable of much more than I am getting out of them right now. Biggest issue right now is all the other stock parts. Like everything but the down pipe and K&N. This power level is attainable with stock turbo's and additional fuel.

I plan to get a FMIC and individual intake pipes as the next mods. The IC being the most important! Last time on the dyno intake temps were hitting ~150f. That may not sound too bad, but it was ~45 degrees in the shop, imagine summer. Stock IC's FTL. Some people upgrade to DSM SMIC's that have been modified to fit. I think that's a waist of time DSM SMIC's belong in DSM'er junk piles.

It could also have a boost leak, but since I will be doing a FMIC, I don't plan on testing it.

[JET]

Ahh, I missed the upgraded turbo's. You should see some nice improvements with you next mods. Looks good!

[MustGoFaster]

I drove it to work today. The way home was fun, sideways every chance I got (within reason, not going to endanger other people just for some fun). And now I really need to get to those other mods, cause I'm used to it.

[FattyBoomBatty]

You can probably get used to just about anything. Don't blow 'er up!

I won't try, but what happens happens. And as far as getting used to it, yeah.
