Re: Project Lex
They came around and believe me now, once they saw the weight. The tensioner itself weighs a couple pounds so it obviously was not in this 0.90lb shipment. They are going to issue me a refund at some point here.
Onwards and upwards now. Hopefully have it all back together and driving in the next couple days

Re: Project Lex
I just replaced my exterior door knobs on my house and had them re - keyed and the guy said he could cut a key just by looking at it. After watching him do it I can see why.

Re: Project Lex
Nothing to huge to report. But we're done with the pump tune. Slowly starting to mix in e85 and turn it up. We're at about 20psi now on ~e60. So far so good. I know this graph isn't going to be all that accurate, but gives a general idea. Not to bad for e60 at 20psi Plenty of room left to keep going!!
Also, I got a Tilton slip valve. Currently it's installed with the smallest pill. Going to be trying it out for awhile here and hopefully helps me better my terrible 60ft's at the strip!

Re: Project Lex
Haven't had a ton of time on this car, but got some logs in today. I think we're already maxing out the flow of this new turbo. Here's a screen shot. You can see the boost pressure tapering off quite a bit (bright green line). But airflow is pretty steady & flat (aqua blue line). So we will still continue to up the boost but I think it'll only really make more boost early on, because at like 7000rpm and beyond I don't think it's going to flow much more actual air.
AEM shows a 710hp estimate. For comparison last year when I made 709hp @ DB, AEM estimated roughly 630hp. So a 70-80hp difference then, so if it's similar on the new setup that means I should be somewhere around 780ish or so. We will see, someday I'm going to get it on the dyno.

Re: Project Lex
Dyno @ DB 9/11 @ 10am with Danny on their DynoJet!!
Street tuning is 99% done. I'm going to send Vlad one last log to verify but I think we are done! Five Boost settings (WG ~16psi ; 19psi ; 22psi ; 26psi ; AllThePSI ~30). Last year I had Vlad do some final dialing in on the dyno to squeeze out everything we could. This year I'm not going to do that. We got it running full steam, it's dialed in good and safe, I just don't feel the need to spend more time/money/energy to squeeze maybe another 10hp or something out of it with the help of the dyno. So I'm just going to go to DB to do some pulls just to see how it does, no tuning or anything. Based on what I'm seeing in AEM and the butt dyno, I'm hoping for right around 775hp, we shall see!
Also I got some new under trays from Z30 Concepts. I'm missing a factory piece to finish bolting up the rear. Once I have that it'll be buttoned up. But very happy with the fit n finish. Gave me a great price since I ordered the full set.

Re: Project Lex
Definitely like that undertray, that's cool. Should be very beneficial as well. I know there was a huge difference in aero, cooling, and road noise with the factory Evo undertrays removed.

Re: Project Lex
Thanks. I paid $198 shipped for the whole undertray setup. It's super lightweight so won't add any noticeable weight. Very happy with it.
