Yesterday the GSX made her maiden voyage at 10pm.
was nervious about getting on it. since there was no tuning done to the car.
But like usual that didn't last long. I did 3 pulls on the way to walmart to get Jenny a movie, Candy, and some Mountain dew ie: just an excuse to take it out,
(MBC - was set as low as it could go 17psi, and running 92 oct, all runs had zero counts of knock)
Run 1 - 3rd gear - 3K-4700rpms (at 4500rpms I was seeing 15psi) (30lbs/min)
Run 2 - 3rd Gear - 4K-6Krpms (32lbs a minute) - wasn't WOT entire time due to truck pulling out.
Run 3 - 4200-7K - (41lbs/min and climbing)
I haven't had a chance to take it up to 8K to see what that yeilds maybe on lunch break today I'll do it.
I've been taking it slow and watching the Laptop to make sure nothing was going wrong, etc)
so far I'm excited about what she has instore. As it sits all sliders at "Zero" the smile on my face gets bigger the higher the rpms get. Cause it just starts pulling really hard.
at 17psi I'm already seeing 3 more lbs/min then my S20G was able to push Maxed out on pumpgas. And I'm seeing zero counts of knock where as with the other turbo I was seeing 2-4 counts (bad) @20psi
Anyrate time to schedual some dyno time.
Only thing I'm going to change is the Dump tube - that's definetly going back into the exhaust. I hate the sound of External dump..... The turbo almost drowns it out but just the exhaust leak sound drive me nuts.
I'd rather hear spool up of a turbo then an exhaust leak any day.
I'll have picts up tomarrow. looks much much better with the new sideskirts.
I want to thank Jet, and John for all there help this weekend. Jet in perticular for staying up late working on it. And John... we would have been high and dry with out your Welder. Thanks for Bringing it down.
