Any pictures of the collector at the flange where it meets the turbo?
Is this on the stock cam?
Auto/Manual?
Weight?
What gear are you seeing 14psi @ 4500? That seems a bit late for a 3.0 on E85.
- stock longblock- changing that over winter
- its the 6 spd which has taller gears than the 5 spd in the 1st gen 3/s cars, but in the 6 speed, 1st and 2nd are relatively tight, 3rd is tall, roughly in the range of 4th in the dsm transmission -pull was in 3rd at about 35, which is too low for it, but my 2nd synchro is shot and slated for a rebuild in nov, so its the best i can do
weight: unsure, I've only done some basic weight reduction thus far and thats on my list of things to do, but I've roughly dropped 180-200 lbs out of the car without spending any money or sacrificing anything to detract from enjoying it as a cruiser, such as interior components or sound deadening. Estimates are, with me not in and a full tank of gas, roughly 3550-3600 from the 3750 stock dry weight based on the collective weight of parts, brackets, and systems i have removed, i still have race seats, carbon fiber drive shaft, rear steering rack delete, and possibly a custom thicker wall aluminum single shot custom exhaust to fab. yup. aluminum. maybe some lighter body panels if I have a extra coin, but at least a hood for sure
I thought the spool was ok...... its litearally only got injector scaling on a 99 3000gt Vr4 ROM
no timing
no fuel
no nothing.
- so im hoping to improve the gains a bit with some actual tunning, but keep in mind on an HX52, full boost @ 4500 isnt abnormal on a 3.0. BigLady hits @ *EDIT* 6500 on a 2.0 with a built head, i think adding another liter and dropping 2000 rpms of spool on a car with a factory turbo basemap rescaled to handle 1250cc injectors is plausable
- take the video above as a sort of "it runs" more than "thats the end result" it needs to go back to start tunning, but the tuner has been busy and I've been busy myself, and the tranny needs repairs before I want to put real power through it....it's just taking some time waiting for the stars to align when ill have both money AND time to play on my own terms when it comes to my sched
