    Best cam for me?

    I am pretty much maxing out my 14b at this point ( 276 whp and 299 tq at 22 psi) and am looking to upgrade the cams before I swap turbos. I will either be going with an evo3 16g or tdo5h 20g, I haven't really decided yet. My ultimate goal is a 12 flat/high 11's. It all depends on what I can...

    14b in the 12's?

    Well I think I'm finally ready to take my car back to the track. The last time I ran my car, I ran a 13.8 @ 97 with a 1.85 60' I believe. At the time the car only had a 3" catback, hi flow cat, k&n and 15 psi.I dyno tuned my car a few weeks ago and put down about 276 whp and 299 tq. It was...

    Going back to the dyno

    Well this saturday, the car is going back on the dyno. Last time I was there for a baseline, at 17 psi, the car put down 251 whp and 271 wtq. A/F was so rich, the dyno chart just flatlined at 10:1 haha. Since then I have added a front mount and fixed some boost leaks. Boost will be around 20-21...

    More timing?

    If I am maxing out the airflow from my little 14b, would advancing the base timing gain me any power? (I dont have DSMlink) As long as i dont knock of course.

    Finally got on the dyno

    So I got my car down to P&L Motorsports today for their dyno day. To make a long story short, I'm a little dissapointed in what the car put down, but it needs a good tuning. My mods are: ported 14b, ported 2g manifold, evo3 o2, 3" turboback, stock sidemount, uicp, 2g mas, 550s, 190 pump, and...

    Tubular manifold?

    I am considering getting a tubular exhaust manifold for my car. I'm still on the 14b right now and may step up to a 16g at some point after I max out my 14b. My question is, will a tubular manifold help me at all on the 14b? How about the 16g? Any recommendations on brands?

    Knocking up top?

    I just installed some 550's and an afc neo. At 16 psi on a 14b, no matter what i set the afc at I start getting really bad knock right around 5000 rpms. I am also seeing up to 3200 Hz of airflow. Is it just me or does that sound really high?

    Help tuning my new setup

    So next weekend I should be installing a 2g mas, FIC 550s and a new afc neo. I am still on the stock sidemount with a ported 14b and a 190 pump. My question is where do I start tuning-wise? Right now the car is set at 13 psi creeping to 18. Should I start with the afc set at 0% correction or...

    quick 2g mas question

    I will be installing a 2g mas with 550's and afc within the next few weeks. For those of you with a 2g mas in a 1g car did you notice any difference in spoolup and sound? Also could you tell a noticable different on the top end? I still have the 14b if that matters.Thanks, Shane

    High IDC's?

    OK I'm running 15 psi on a 14b with a 190 pump and stock 450's. And yet I am seeing duty cycles over 100%, sometimes as high as 115%! I am positive there are no boost leaks, as i tested for them and it held 20 psi fine, then I took the car to DEVO tuning and they also did not find any leaks...

    16g?

    Within the next few months I will be adding a fmic, 550s & safc, and a 16g. I will be doing the 16g first, then injectors, and then fmic. My question is, what is a safe boost level to stick with on the 16g with 450s and 190 pump until I get the injectors? Im thinkin 11-12 psi? Also, what kind...

    What cams for me?

    I am due for a new timing belt very soon, so i figured why not put some new lifters (i have horrible lifter tick) and some new cams in at the same time. Mods are in my profile. Yes i know i am still running a ported 14b at the moment, and don't plan on swapping for a while. I am looking for...

    Stupid porting question...?

    Well I did a little porting on my turbo last weekend to try and rid my car of boost creep. Apparently I didn't port enough because I am still creeping. It took forever with a dremel, but that's all I have lol.Should I port the actual hole that the flapper covers? I wasn't sure so I didn't...

    Where should I go from here?

    Well i recently did a compression test and the reults were :160-156-121-145.I did a wet test on the last two cylinders and the compression went up to 205 and 180. So it looks like I may have some bad piston rings. That may also be causing my dipstick shooting lol.My question is, would it...

    14b IDC's??

    To those of you still running the 14b on your 1g, what kind of injector duty cycles are you seeing??The reason I ask is because I just installed my 190 walbro, and even at 15 psi at like 5500 rpm full throttle, I have seen my IDC's as high as 131%??I checked for boost leaks and did not...

    Well I havent driven my car in over a week, and I started it up yesterday, and took a peek under the car. There was a pretty decent sized puddle of what looked like oil under the car. I got as far under the car as I could, and it looked as if it is coming from the transfer case.Could my...

By 3k it will boost to 11 psi, but by 4500 it will creep up to 18 psi. This is really pissing me off, as i am on stock fuel system right now...
