Re: Project Salt Collector
Got the car running again last week after a lot of help from Brian, Jim and Brad. It had been down on power last year from a mystery problem and got pulled apart to try to fix it, put in a new clutch and fix reverse. Goal was to to make it to the Midway Shootout at Cedar Falls and have some fun. The car had previously made a best 492awhp with normal correction on my dyno with the boost maxed as high as I could get it to go. The power band looked pretty bad with the way the boost dropped and seemed to be getting choked. With it that way my wife went 11.5@132mph not using NLTS and it falling on it's face going into 2nd gear every run.
We ended up taking about 100lbs off of the car between the slicks, removing power steering, lightweight front crossmember from Halon and a few other little things. With the weight reduction, slicks, NLTS and me driving I thought it might run into the 10s even if the power ended up being the same. We changed a few things in the setup powerwise, but still the same old SC61. After fighting some leaks after startup and then a locked up rear caliper on the dyno it was making good power with a really nice powerband. I turned the boost up another psi and was going to stop after the next run due to the factory internals but the tranny let go instead.
Dyno chart is a comparision of the old horsepower/boost versus the run before the tranny let go.

Re: Project Salt Collector
Nice numbers but too bad on the tranny.
You still have your 99 as well?

Re: Project Salt Collector
Looks good, sucks about the tranny though. I hope my SC-61 can make this much power

Yea, the 99 will probably get turned into a lower power road race car. |

Whoa, I think I tried to turn you to that dark side for years? But I'd kinda hate to see that kind of use/abuse to such a clean car. |

Good idea I have a 2g awd that I plan on making into a road race car if I ever get time. Haven't done much with it so far aside from start to gut the interior.

Re: Project Salt Collector
540hp on stock parts, I love it. It's funny how just a couple years ago, I was way more dumb than I am now. Did you ever get that 4" intake?

Yep, that's the reason for it making more boost and the power and not choking anymore. |

Yeah mang. I got the nuts to admit it. Everyone gets smarter as they grow up, you just learn more as you go. Like putting a 4" intake on when the 3" restricts you.
Think about the exhaust! a 4" exhaust would probably be helpful now too. |

A 4" would absolutely help anyone making over 400whp I bet. Shane also had a very short exhaust/dump on ol' salty last Sunday on the dyno. |

Re: Project Salt Collector
It's got a 2.5" o2 housing on it that connects to another 2.5" pipe that flares to 3". That could all be better, but we were out of time.

Re: Project Salt Collector
I don't remember if I saw any difference going from a 3" exhaust to 3.5".
