gotta be accurate!

 

So these did make power afterall? Guess ill be getting a set with my engine rebuild!

 

So...

RAINH8R picked up my car from King Motorsports today for me because it was done (he lives pretty close to King). Trans back in and new Competition Clutch Stage2 clutch and pp replacement (due to the failed piece) and also I decided to replace my 11.5lb CC FW with the AP1 14lb OEM piece. I was tired of the slight chattering when trying to back up or just slightly move forward in traffic. Hopefully I'll be happy with this set up now!


Disappointing news...Well, it looks like we may have accidentally installed the keys wrong as well! I don't have any numbers or dyno charts in front of me at this time, but according to my very recent phone call to RAINH8R (he talked with the tuner at King), I have lost about 20whp (fully tuned) (perhaps indicating the same initial situation as watch0bak). Chances are that I will get more info soon, but probably not till Tuesday due to the fact that Mike (at King) is out till then. Being that this is MY first time doing this and that we did NOT take any pics I cannot be sure of anything at this time. When we re-install them we'll be certain to take lots of pics.

Unfortunately...more to come.

Damn, that sux butt. Sorry to hear.

 

Yes it does...but it also possibly indicates that I may be near 400whp IF the results change like they did for watch0bak.

 

Anyone know if these will have any effects on N/A applications? I was told you might see some gains, not double digits like forced induction applications but hey for the price...

Figure i'd look into this since im building my block right now...

Im not big on engine mechanics themselves, but the guy who is building my block right now said key sets would be something i could do for a little more power while were at it. So any more information on this would be great.

 

I dont think so. If anything NA would benefit from having them backwards. While 02S2klean lost 20hp, you might gain 5hp from that.

 

On that note, Ill want to do the engine.... then go BACK and have the keys installed to make sure they are in there right.

 

I still feel we installed the keys right, but regardless the plan as of now is to take the keys out and reverse what they are at and re-dyno the car, and see what that gets us.

blah, its been a long two weeks with this car!

i am also considering ditching the keys in my car.

 

Damn that sucks. Results haven't been looking very good for these keys recently.
