It's ALIVE!

It's up and running on an initial tune
some more tuning and odds and end for the water injection before taking it to the dyno

New gauge pod, Boost and air-to-fuel ratio

Sweet. What kind of numbers are you hoping to get?

Congrats!!!!

Quote:

something close to 600 to the tire

the real tell will be the mph in the 1/4
hoping to get over 130mph

Funny. I pressed on the pics and couldn't get any sound.

Glad your making progress Brian.

yeah, yeah

I'll post a video later

That is great Brian! Glad to see your getting closer.
Will

Matthew

Congrats, Brian!

A never ending story does come to an end , cool!
Good luck on your tune and hopefully a good set of numbers on the dyno.
Axel

Very cool! Post vid / numbers!

Who's doing your tuning?

He's a member of my club that' I've know for 11 years now.

SloRVette over on the 'other' forum.

I could give you his contact # if your interested.

Good Stuff Brian !

Video!

the blower sounds real loud in the video, but it reality the exhaust is about the same sound level

also a set back today
the welds on my 32spline stub axles didn't hold!
The need to be rewelded
actually they should have been pinned.
drill a hole now will not be fun as the material is hardened.

stub axle rewelded, held to 240ft-lbs

Brian... Very Cool!

About 600HP! Kind of like JSUP's C4
Only kidding!!

I can't wait to see video of it on course!!

Sounds smooth!

Quote:

seriously that's the kind of power I'm hoping to get.

if it doesn't I'll bump it from an S to a T-trim

Paul just posted up this video of my car on a test drive

Fortunately there is still plenty of car season left to get out and enjoy it. Then think of all the fun you can have this winter. You can work on a "new" projects list. Glad to see and hear your baby is coming right along.

Drove the car today!


If it was for the inspection sticker, which it's getting tomorrow, I would have took it home

Need to break in the clutch, 500 miles, before he sticks it on the dyno.

Except for the clutch effort, it drove just like a stocker.

Need to keep it off boost till he dials it in.

with that, it pulls real strong.


Need to get the shock canisters recharged, moved them inside under the hatch.

nice video Brian

all buttoned up

short clip of Paul backing it out of the shop

Sounds great...a bit of a sleeper with the stock exhaust???

Quote:

Long tubes and a B&B exhaust.

the blower really quiets it down.

made a run this weekend with a friend to break the clutch in.



after Panuche's we drove out to Hampton beach.

Boost gauge location is perfect.

Street twin clutch worked like a charm.

26mph on the highway

pulls plenty hard even keeping it off boost

sre thr dtub axles the ones that strange was doing ?????

opps forgot glasses. are the stub axles the ones that strange was doing ????

those are the ones

so far they're holding.
