    NEW PIC

    dropped it off today for tuning and charge pipes. got the injectors installed, DP modifed with the 4 bolt flange, IC mounted,obd1 swap, and about half the charge pipes fabbed up. Reid said it will be done saturday possibly even friday so im hoping for the best.

    well its finished its running on 7lbs its insanely fun launches like a savage warrior and pulls hard on the freeway. my tuner told me to crank it up to 11lbs if i like it will take it but i think for now im gunna stick with the 7lbs. i didnt dyno the car so i have no idea what its putting down. pics and vids are soon to come
  • SLeePERSLeePER New Wagonist
    What are you tuning it with then if you didnt put it on a Dyno? AFC hack perhaps?
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    im running on crome and i have a wideband. i didnt dyno it because i plan on throwing in some vitarra pistons, head studs, new water pump, new timing belt, cam gear, y8 head, and add a knock sensor. i will dyno it then. its funny too my car is getting even better MPG's than it did before Reid and Nick at kaizenspeed are a couple of studs at tuning. www.kaizenspeed.com is there website its a farely new site so its kinda still in the works and there new shop is HUGE biggest speed shop ive been into but they just moved into it just a few weeks ago and its still a work in progress. ive gotta run to eburg when i get back im taking pics and a vid.

    Right now the car is on 6-7lbs of boost it pulls good for what it is IMO hell before the car was kinda a tank now it feels the way it should be. im gunna crank it up to 10-11 lbs here in the next few weeks and run it like that till i get my mini me swap, vittara pistons,cam gear, and im gunna rebuild the tranny (3rd gear is scratching!!!!). I built this car because i wanted a fun reliable car that i can drive year round and i feel that i have accomplished that. my personel goal is to get it to hang with stock evo's and sti's which i think i can do with a lil more boost the vtec head and pistons but even if i dont im still happier than a pig in shiit even better than that is when i get a friend in the car and they start giggling like a school girl in amaze at how fast my grocery getter is.

    oh ya BTW how can i forget i gotta thank the guys at kaizen speed in the tri-cities for helping me out so Reid, Nick, Dusty, and yes Nate as well all u guys are a savage team there new bigger shop is insane its well worth the over 2 hour drive i make to get top notch service and they are just a bunch of cool guys if your in the area hit them up http://www.kaizenspeed.com

    Hells yeah...Guestimate 170-190 HP give or take?....Is there a leak in the Mani somewhere or Downpipe? Sounds like it by the video but couldnt tell to much. Bolts from my Mani on my Turbo GSR used to always come loose till i just use plug type bolts the screw into the head and just put nuts on at the end....
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    my DP bolts are backing out i parked the car about an hour ago to let it cool off so i can go out and give them a few cranks. the WG is loud too so u might be hearing that as well. i did some freeway pulls against my buddies 5.0 with some minor bolts ons (runs a 14.6) and he BARELY pulls on me. the ass dyno is tellin me about 180hp so you guess sounds good. before anyone wants to rip on me for "street racing" the freeway pulls were done on an open freeway in the middle of no where with no one around and the vids above were made on an old highway and a vacant street with little to no traffic and the 2 houses on the street are my friends and no they have no kids so it felt safe to me to show off to them a lil.
  • SLeePERSLeePER New Wagonist
    LOL...Sweet..Gotta love Open Wastegates. That wont open up untill boost though so dont think that was it. Sucks when the bolts would come undone on my old GSR Turbo setup haahah....As for Running a Stang, hells yeah. Whip its ass and put another check on the Win List :)... As for street Racing, who here hasn't done it..:) :) :) :)....But yeah , i track is always best :)
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    tightened the DP up and used some thread sealent crap that my neighbor recomended if it doesnt work ill get myself some bad ass lock washers.

    How's it feel with 10psi? I would think the differance between 7-10 or 12 would be huge. Seems to always be a big differance in that area.
  • KahunaKahuna familEE
    Oh sweet baby making, I love it!

    Is that a 1.6 or a 1.5?

    I must FI my car now.
