project V-mount
Well my goal was 450hp on 10 psi and 94 octane. 650 on 114 octane... but I had wastegate issues out the ying yang on dyno day and only had time for one tune. So I settled for 540 on pump lol. Car stays so cool.... sometimes only 2 bars on the dash. I'll do some datalogging and get some intake temps once my hoodpins come in and I get that back on.
On a side note, I'm contemplating ripping out the hondata and switching to haltech to go with a local tuner. Remote tuning is starting to aggrivate me. As awesome as Kenny is... it's just not the same if he's not present with the car.

Nice to see it done! Which precision turbo were you running by the way? What kind of mac valve are you using?
What did the wastegate do? I recently had to replace a tial gate because the diaphragm had been getting caught at high boost. I ended up going with a turbosmart instead

I will more than likely replace my wastegates soon as I noticed the diaphrams starting to fall apart as well in the tials.

The Vband clamps hold the nuts for you! You don't have to hold the clamp and the gate and the nut like an idiot trying to get it put together. Makes it a lot easier to assemble
The gate is physically smaller
The worst part is that it takes 1/16th NPT fittings so you have to get shitty pushlock fittings that melt, or you have to get 1/16th NPT to AN adapter.
What was the ramp rate on the dyno?

That's awesome, hopefully they aren't too small that my dump tubes would run into my down pipe. I will definitely look into them though. I will probably save the changes for next winter and hopefully just enjoy the car for the summer. Guess time will tell if they are gonna hold up for a bit.
Ramp rate on dyno... I wanna say around 10% but truthfully I have no idea. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this tuning stuff. It interests me but I dont learn well by reading lol.
Finally took the good camera out and took some pictures... figured I'd update this.
