New Best: FP 3575 + AEM magic

[GRNDSM]

I was finally able to put together some nice back to back runs since I switch to AEM and FP3575.

I had a pretty good day:

1. Dyno 528whp (FWD mode)
2. Set my highest ET and trap speed of 10.58 @138mph.
3. Reset my highest ET at 10.301 @ 140.43 (that is right 140mph!!! )
4. Won the most competitive Street Shootout class ever! (four 10 sec cars all in the semi-finals)
5. Reset my highest trap speed at 140.52

This was with relatively heavy 2870lbs car.

BTW dropping the cat back exhaust (leaving 3” down pipe and test pipe) gave me extra 3 MPH in the next run!!! This backs up similar results I had one year ago.

I am going to go back next Wed. with Mike Rizz’s Hoosiers and with light doors .

Congratulations man! Those are some awesome times! I would think you would dyno more at the wheels, what boost was you running? Just curious, my cousin dynoed @ 607.8 whp@34psi on the FP 3565 last year, but never made it down the track.

Welcome to spot #5!

 

[98eclipseRS]

wow congrats great times

 

[GRNDSM]

Thanks guys!

I dropped the cat-back after I got to the track. So I am sure I was making a bit more than the dyno run indicated.

I am sure that this turbo has a LOT more left in it! At ~33psi it is just staring to warm up .

Hats off to you Leon Reitman (GreenMachine) for a new personal best.

A small vid I threw together for you:

Leon awesome pass buddy! I see 9's very soon in future. And all on the turbo no spray!!!

 

[GRNDSM]

Thanks Kevin, nice video!

I am glad I decided to go all out on thath bye run!

No problem Leon!

.......that was a sick performance! And as I said on our board, the car sounds incredible, somewhat different than what I'm used to hearing out of a DSM. I would agree that single digits are in your future........Good Luck Wed. night.! Good to talk for a few minutes anyway, thanks for the pointers on where I should go with my upcoming configuration.

QUALITY!!!!!!!

I always love getting a chance to see your car at the shootout every year.

all i gotta say is 140mph

speaking of the shootout, what where your dyno numbers at the SO this year?

 

[GRNDSM]

Thanks guys!

This year’s shootout was a disappointment for me because of a bad AEM MAP sensor. In some ways, this weekend was a redemption .

 

[gsxfury]

was that 10.30 pass you made was that made with nitrous or no..and if so what kind of shot were you spraying

 

[Kevin90GSX]

No NOS.

 

[GRNDSM]

Kevin is right, I have never used that stuff... And I do not have any immidate plans to use it.

 

[EvolvingGST]

yeah Leon is a nut like that with his crazy low times without nitrous.

Gratz Leon the GM is a 10 second beast again... hahah by again i mean like for the 100th time depending on the turbo he uses.

Leon, how is tuning with the AMS? doing well with it?

 

[GRNDSM]

>Leon, how is tuning with the AMS? doing well with it?

Do you really need to ask? I had some problems with a MAP sensor, but otherwise it is great!

 

[JoeWagon]

Do I get to be the first to comment about the spoiler?

Nice runs, glad you retired the 14b quest for some real power?

 

[JohnTSI]

Congrats on a Nice run, been considering that turbo and getting rid of the 3065 for a while now, how is the spool up?

Just to remind everyone.. Curt Brown went 9:40s with no nitrous a year ago.

Yes does slowboy make that turbo? You run mostly slowboi stuff right ?

well You are running a Slowboy Motor right? and didnt you run only 5 mph slower on a much smaller SBR GT-13 and only a VPC???

>Just to remind everyone.. Curt Brown went 9:40s with no nitrous a year ago.

Mark, we all know that Curt is THE MAN!

>You are running a Slowboy Motor right?

Yep, “only” a stage 2, 2.0 motor and I am very happy with it!

>and didnt you run only 5 mph slower on a much smaller

GT-13 is also a fine turbo but I would hardly call it “much smaller” than my current turbo.

But I am also at the very beginning of learning AEM EMS, I only had it for 2 months (most which was spent troubleshooting a bad MAP sensor) and I have a LOT more to learn! This run was done with a very conservative 11.4-11.6 A/F ratio on C-16 race gas.

He ran 9:40s and only 5mph faster .... I did hear his chassis is for sale.. I hear it has some majic left in it..

GT-13 is also a fine turbo but I would hardly call it “much smaller” than my current turbo.

Well if you think its isnt much smaller here is a pic for those of you that understand the concepts of inducer/exducer ratios and sizes.. From left to right.. Just for comparison is the SBR GT-10. Middle is the SBR-GT 13 wheel, and on the right The "leon" turbo ... I think there is a significant size difference here.

Ya Leaner is meaner.. 14.1 (nate says so)

oh yea.. just a rumor .. i heard over 600WHP on our T-67 in our cast housing.. but i heard it was just a rumor

 

[red91gst]

Its all in the "power switch", just turn it to the right.

Opinions on the turbo?

 

[GRNDSM]

I see a lot of people focusing on this turbo, but the purpose of this thread was to praise “AEM’s magic” and not necessarily the turbo. So far, I am very happy with FP3575, but I do not feel like I have yet tapped its full potential…

Even though, I dynoed 528whp with the FP3575, I am guessing that I was closer to 550-560hp by the time I got to the track and dropped the exhaust. So I am definitely making MUCH more power on this turbo than I ever made on the GT-13. But I should be!

The real advantage of this turbo will not be utilized until I go well into 600-650hp range. And I am far from being there .

Are you referring to this guy right here

 

[JohnTSI]

Congrats again Leon, How user friendly is the AEM, that will probably be my next modification. As far as the turbo goes if it where ball bearing I would be all over it. Look forward to seeing your next run with lighter doors and more tuning.
