It is fun to do something different. If it looks good and make some extra ponies then that are pluses.

That dead rat in your car was a sign from God.

You will be laughing your butts off when you see the gain. We did when we saw what happened. We were all about the highest average power band when we were exploring the longer runners intake manifold. The honda intake manifold was just the cheapest and quickest way to see what will happen...

There are differences between the b18b, b18c5, b16a, and b18c1 intake manifolds. The easiest one to modify is the junk2 or real skunk2 b18c1 intake manifold for a integra gsr. Don't use the b18b intake manifold because the runners are smaller.I got two kids now so it been kinda hard to go to...

Power band looked crazy because the Forge internal wastegate actuator he had on it did not hold boost correctly. The Profec B boost controller took a dump so we just use a T to regulate the boost. Plus it was spinning the dried up slicks he had on it so we could not get it to hold more power...

i think he has modified ground control

It is pretty fun because it weighs about 2200lb

I did try 22 degree of timing and i it made 383hp with no knock. 3hp with 2 degrees more was not worth it so I back it to 20 degrees.

I think it can make 400hp if can get it to hold 2 extra psi more. We were going to spray it with a 55 shoots to make 435hp/450tq but we decided not to because something stupid happen to the fuel pressure or fuel pump. You can see in the graph that it got lean up top. Once my friend upgrades to...

I built this 89 Colt GT a few years back for a daily driver/feeling bruiser but ended up selling it to my friend. It made a bit over 300hp with 7.8:1 compression pistons, stock cams, Safc, punishment fmic, cyclone intake, 2g mas, and 680cc on 87 pump gas at 18 psi.Now it has the Ecmlink v3...

I think porting the combustion chamber and unshrouding the valves gave you that nice midrange. Same thing happened to NGOc Dyno hp number after i rework the combustion chamber. Nice hp. Great job on the new setup.

Keltalon. You need to be very careful using 40 micron element. That is not fine enough to filter the deposit from the gas tank. If your gas tank is not perfectly free of deposit, you will need to use a 10 micron fuel filter if you are running e85. A huge disposable paper filter is preferable...

watch this video. if you can not figure it out after watching it, it is time to pay for profession service.AC Diagnostics - AutoZone Car Care - YouTubehere is the another one.Using AC Pressure Gauges To Fix Car AC Problems - YouTubeget the gauge from harbor freight or rent...

I got to look but I believe you are suppose to come off one of the low side driver. I think it is low side driver 7 or 9. Then you have to tell the AEM ECU to drive that output. I will check tonight

Make sure you are getting power to the CAS. People wire it up wrong all the time. Check that and let me know.You need to adjust the "tacho" setting. Depend on the tach you got, make sure to switch the wire on the tach.

Can not wait for the result. If the cams are not going to hold you back, I am expecting to see 700+hp but and 50-75 less torque.The intake manifold will flow differently at certain rpm points so be ready to adjust the boost controller to make a good boost for boost comparison. I saw...

Do a before and after tune with the 24 trigger tooth trigger disc. Adjust coil dwell time and injector phasing if necessary because the 24 tooth disc can cause you to lose a lot of power and misfire badly.I was using a Yoshifab 24 tooth trigger disc. The car sync almost instantly and start...

In a perfect world, every shop will know how to navigate every engine management systems out there. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Maybe the shop that he went to is not familiar with Ecmlink. We will never know for sure.

I am not saying that alcohol type fuel can not take more timing. I am saying that the gain can be insignificant and the excessive timing can make the car prone to detonation with change in boost and iat. I got hundreds if not over 1000 of dyno hours under my belt and tunes many cars for...

If I see 1-2hp gain for 1 degree of timing, I am pretty much done. A lot of people street tune and watch for knock to indicated the level of timing that the engine will tolerate. Many times the engine will gain next to nothing with increase in timing without showing know. Some times, you can...

Looks like you are trying to blow the engine up on pump gas. 27psi and 15* of timing are too much for pump gas. I don't even care for that much timing on e85. Guess I am just a lot more conservative and don't care for small hp gain per degree of timing. It looks like your fuel system is...

Have you taken the ati balancer off to check it. I wonder does it deteriorate like the oem style balancer. I can tell you that an Advance balancer is only good for 10k-15k miles. I seen two died on a build I did for a guy within 25k miles. He said the Advance balancer is 3 pieces instead of...

Awd and fwd gears are pretty much the same size. It is the the 1.5l and 1.8l gears that "look" weaker. I think it is the wheel spin that is keeping the tranny from breaking. I know the 3/4 gears sleeve will grenade on Awd if you punch it hard even on street tire. I think Kelton's tranny is...

Nice. No meth/h2o correct?

I just don't like the phenolic spacer because it indented on me and started to leak. If you don't mine tightening the bolt every now and then to snug it down, you will be fine. I want to add that I never had a leak between the runner half and the plenum half. I did like the way it looked and...

I did use two gaskets. When I took it off, the phenolic spacer was indented by the compression of manifold flange and head intake flange. This problem is similar to the plastic heat shield gasket that people use on their intake manifold. The phenolic spacer is not a good idea at all.This...

I would uninstall that Forrester manifold and get a Jmf or cyclone. I had one and it made great top end power. The low end and midrange is straight garbage though. Don't use the phenolic spacer because it leaks like crazy if you don't retighten manifold often. The phenolic spacer will shrink...

Is this still available?

I want me some mivec. That boost come on pretty quick with it. I am actually surprise to see the FP black hitting full boost a little late during the pull on a dsm. It is still a great power band for a bolt on turbo. Great job!

I bought a brand new PTE non billet 6765bb back before I bought my gt35r. The pte6765bb had a ported shroud housing. The compressor housing casting was ultra thin and the machining in the ported shroud area was straight garbage. It has a bunch of machine flashings like it was cut with a dull...

It is well know that small shaft turbo can not take abuse too long. Even bigger shaft turbo like the gt4088r will fail under high boost. I had seen two snapped 16g shafts from running 27 psi+ but guys bring it to 30psi+ many time without issue. Medium frame turbo like the PTE turbo that...

sick power for a bolt on.

What happen to the driver side door molding? Did you get enough paint to do the engine bay.I don't see any Lambo doors so this is a fail. Lol.

That one is pretty pricey now. I think a Magnus is a better option.

Trap speed has the weight and aerodynamic factors that heavier influence it. Gearing can also affect the trap speed too.Dyno time is super critical. It allow you to work out a lot of bugs before hitting the track. Guys like to subsitute Dyno time for street tuning. Well I am here to ask...

This might get into another Dyno debate but I will share what I see locally. There are three Mustang dyno centers that I know of locally. Guys been to these Mustang dyno shops and been to my friend's Dynojet shops. I have not seen results more than 15hp differences between my friend Dynojet...

That is great power and time but I would seriously doubt that car will put down 900hp on a Dynojet. I seen guys get mad when the find out that the Dynojet number is lower. Unless you go and are put down 900hp uncorrected on a Dynojet, you are simply speculating. In any case, you got a badass...

Dang! I thought he was putting down more than that with all the fancy stuffs he got going on. I was imagining that he was laying down 750-800hp through the auto and loose converter but I guess I am wrong. I lost over 100hp with a stock restalled converter and going to automatic. I did not...

I am going to the scrap metal place thursday. You forgot to leave that garbage 1g intake manifold so it can get recycle it into something better. Lol. I think a slight shift forward of the tq with an aftermarket intake manifold will easily put you at 500hp+ uncorrected. The question is at...

Those links do not have any good dyno display. I like to see the dyno sheet for this post if you have them. If it is a Dynojet, you can get them to send you an file of the run. You can down load winpep from dynojet website and see the dyno run. This will allow you to look at different...

All the Dyno sheets I seen for the hx52 are partially cut of, hp vs speed, or blurry. I did look. They are terrible and do not represent the turbo well. I know the hx52 is a big bi***. I want one but can not make a decision base on the Dyno sheets I seen.Thrust me I noticed it was going...

Let see the Dyno sheet in hp/tq vs rpm. I want to see how laggy that turbo is. I have been seeing a lot of hypes about the hx52 but no one want to post a nice dyno sheet of it in action. What correction factor did you use to make 800hp. Dang that is most difference between corrected and...

rhys miller said his car runs 15:1 with e85. My engine has a calculate compression of 11.5:1. My friend engine has a calculate value of 12.7-13:1. My engine is a 2.0l. My friend engine is a 2.4l. I engine compression test 245psi and his compression test 265psi. I was able to make 568hp at...

Congrat. Very nice driving. TPU did my 1g old converter but I only got up to 2000rpm. I been wanting to bring it back to get it restalled.

Don't bother doing all of that measurements for that cam combos. Get a set of BC, Manley, Kiggly, or Crower springs and you are cover up to 8500-9000rpm. If you insist on being exact, you will need a sping pressure tester, sping install height micrometer, caliper, shims kit, and dial...

Very nice. Congrat on the power level. I guess I can not talk crap about the hx52 any more. That is really sick power through the turbo 400.

He fixed the boost issue. He forgot to plug one of the top ports on the Tial 38mm mvs wastegate so the pressure holding down the valve was leaking out. Now let see that thing make 500hp spadepro22. I still have those sexy Fidanza cam gears if you want them.

It is not hard to degree the cams. The goal is to set the cam up according to the **original** cam card. If you don't have a cam card to reference off, you got to go with a straight up install. He bought his cams used so the cam card is at some landfill. His only option is to try to dial the...

I experimented with degreeing the cams many time before. I have friends that degree their cams during the build just to zero the cam gear out afterward . It is by far the biggest waste of time ever. The gain is next to nothing and sometimes cause more knock than the job help to reduce them...

I want to see 500hp not 450hp. You are killing me with those restrictive parts. Go ahead and try the highest wastegate spring combo. I want to see that thing make power already. If you want, we can toss those garbage 8.5:1 pistons in the trash and put some 11:1 pistons in it. This way you...
