Just wanted to share some info. I went to Beyond Redline in Green Bay, WI yesterday to put the car on the Eddy Current Dyno Jet AWD dyno. (Beyond Redline :: Performance Center)
I have been working on getting this car right for years and there would always be something that needed to change or be fixed. Well finally I got the car to a point where it was decent enough so I wanted to get in on the dyno before putting it away for winter.
Mods are as follows:
Engine:
2.3L
Wiseco Pistons
Eagle Rods
ARP mainstuds & Headstuds
Head:
Stock-rebuilt no port work, no oversized valves
5 angle valve job
stock cam gears
Comp 101200 cams
MLS headgasket
BPR8ES plugs
NGK Wires
Stock ignition
Intake:
Stock Intake Manifold
Stock throttle body
2.5" intercooler piping
3" GM MAF
Tial BOV
PTE "medium" core intercooler
3" intake with K&N cone filter
Joe P MBC
Exhaust:
Evo 3 manifold, mildy ported
Tial 38mm wastegate dumped (28psi)
2.5" o2 housing
3" downpipe
3" cat
2.5" catback (axle back is press bent 2.5")
Dynomax muffler
PTE 6031e turbo with 76 exhaust housing
Drivetrain:
3-bolt rear end
stock replacement axles
Shep stage 3 tranny
stock transfer case
stock driveshaft
ACT 2900 clutch
Fidanza flywheel
Big brake upgrade
Fuel:
E85 (actually more like E70)
Ford 1600cc/min injectors
Anodized fuel rail
-8an lines (from pump to rail)
Fuelab fuel filter (golan craped out)
Walbro 255 intank, Bosch 044 inline
Aeromotive AFPR
Suspension:
energy suspension bushings
DME rear camber kit (don't like adjustability)
Electronics:
DSMLink V2
GM 3.3 Bar
PLX wideband
Good alarm system!
Alot of the stock stuff has been replaced with new OEM stuff (gaskets, bolts, etc). I have put a lot of work into this car and set a goal of 450awhp and I achieved that. Now I think I just want to enjoy it. Going to the next step would require more drastic changes (better fuel setup as it was starting to lean out at the top end, new intake manifold, exhaust manifold, turbo/turbo housing, 4 bolt rear end, .....). I would like to thank all the forum members on here for the help (Jeffgst and Sillycon along with others). Now all that's left to do is take it to the track and get an 11 sec timeslip.
