I hope the lack of update means you were so happy you were celebrating.

 

....or a rod punched through the block....

 

lol.. no radio .. center is missing out of the dash in that pic.. lol.. id imagine thats a hand turning a key lol.

The car started up perfectly and held well on the base map and break in session.
They discovered a very small oil leak towards the end of the night and did not finish the full map pulls.. the car came back to IMR and they found the leak, small bolt slightly backed out near the PS pump /timing cover.. fixved this, revved it up, drove it down the street and it held 10 lbs of boost perfectly w the wastegeate spring as installed..

Pete said the car almost sounds stock when running thru the exhaust system.. and that it sounds like the end of the world when the cut out is open lol.
Cool beans.
So hopefully this wont actually give any delay.. the car had to be put back together anyways after dyno.. so now they are just going to put it all back together NOW and the next dyno is scheduled for the 26th already.

Cool.... as I can be there for that one.. and two I can use my GoPro finally.. AND three, the car will be assembled and video worthy at that point too.

 

Great news! I am sure your weekend will be a happy now!

 

Very quality work man! Anyways, glad to see the progress and hope to see it when I stop by at Intense in the week. Can I get a ride too? lol

 

Input #5 needs INPUT!!!!!

 

lol.. ^ we are old---ish.

 

Good God man this car isnt built or running yet? Hasnt it been like almost 2 years?

 

Good to see everything is starting to come together. Glad the MAF is working well for you as well. Have fun with it.

 

maf died, details of how to follow, but a new one is on the way from Osiris, so the cars just staying at UMS ( the tuners) until next week..

in other news.. the RS380 hood vents are in process. Just getting the outter skin cut then we will go back and cut out the underside., sand,. prime and wrap it up in some black vinyl.

 

updates.. today i finally have some good news.. and good news it is indeed.

BEfore i go farther, dyno graph image is being sent to me by the end of today, so as soon as i get it ill photobucket that bish and post it up.

Hers the bad news first.. the 380 pump we have in there now tapped out on my Q16 map dyno tune... left the injectors at 70% duty cycle and only allowed 3 lbs more boost and 25 more hp than my street gas tune..

its getting puled back to the shop and an e85 pump is going in stat.

But for now... we pulled my street gas map to a few ( as in the single digits column) hp over 500, and the torque to match, just a hair over 500 at 20 lbs.

With that better fuel pump, my bragging rights pointless map for Q16 should be well over 600 hp.

this is great and QUANTIFIABLE news after a very long saga.

almost done now.. again, graphs to prove it on the way.. pics or it didnt happen, yes believe me i know.
Im just pregnant w animal joy ( veray-excited)... and must post or i will explode.

 

Whoot

 

Congrats!

 

awesome

 

Time to change PlzBurnMyCAR?

Yea for sure lol.
Here's a damn fine power curve.... until the fuel pump said " no more" lol.
Walboro 400 e85 pump is in hand and going in on Monday..

 

Congrats, glad its back in action.

 

Congrats Brian! What size turbine housing are you running on that 6266?

 

hmmm

 

Eric.. im not really sure my man.. I do at least know its vband, but you pose a good question lol. Ill ask Pete next week.
The car went back to Tony at UMS last night w a Walboro 400 in it now, so Im sure ill get updates fairly soon into next week. Theyre juggling back n forth between me n Jorges car.

BTW, I have a shiny "new" DW300 pump for sale now.. anyone? Ahem.. lol.
