Finally!
460rwhp 468rwtq/4th gear/dynojet @ 13psi with cats and 2.5" exhaust APS TT/stock heads.
-interesting fact my electronic boost controller **** the bed but a $90 manual boost controller held 13psi all day long.


To be honest I wanted to make over 500 but I think my exhuast is keeping me back. I didn't want to have the car to loud and I have to run cats where I live.

FCON is running the show now and it finally runs just like stock if not better, the car finally starts the first time every time and idles perfect!!!! I love it and I can't wait to go to the track.

?- for me to get over 500 on this exhuast I will need stiffer springs for more boost. Or keep the boost at 13psi and get test pipes and bigger exhaust. One way or another I hope to add 50-100 hp next summer, I just content to have it working.


I'm just really happy to have the car finally running the way it should.

congrats, test pipes will probably do it for you to get to the 500 mark.

 

Stock cats or aftermarket high flow?

 

Which exhaust and cats? Nice numbers regardless - congrats.

EDIT: I see HKS in sig (2.25 dual?) and UR cats?

 

Congrats on finally getting her tuned. What color actuator springs are you running?

 

yellow actuators, APS 2.5" exhuast, random tech hi-flow cats,

 

Glad you are up a running! It has been a long road. Just a FYI we made 600rwhp on the APS 2.5 exhaust on a 3.5L engine with the APS TT. Just don't want to see you spend unnecessary funds on a new exhaust if it isn't the problem. At this point I would go to test pipes as that would be the bottle neck, not the exhaust.

Congrats and enjoy the power!

you should get the 3.5 inch downpipes and build a little more boost to hit that mark you would like to see..


good luck!!

 

But then he wouldn't have cats, he said he needed cats for some crazy reason

 

Congrats...enjoy the ride!

 

congrats man, enjoy the power

 

thanks thats what i will be planing for next summer along with stiffer waste gate springs for more boost.

It is just such a big deal in Canada to have cats, but what can you do.

 

Congrats!! I would also love to have cats on my build, but I want more HP!!! What number of cells does the Random tech cats have? A local race shop sells 100 cell metal cats with 100mm/4inch diameter, which I may try it if I get sick of smelling the exhaust fumes..

 

not sure but if you can get some made that are 3.5' they should flow better, let me know how that works.

 

congrats on the build. Have fun with it

Stock block?

 

His sig says CP/Carillo as in CP Pistons, Carillo Rods...

You guys have got me worried. I don't want to lose my HF cats either (I have 300 cell) - guess I'll know soon...

 

thanks for all the kind words pics and 1/4 times to come shortly, again thanks for all the people that helped me with this project, the advice that I was given from this site was very important to getting this thing done right.

 

Keep us posted..enjoy!
