just got everything installed for my turbo. just need to tune now.

 

Looks nice!

 

what manifold is that? do you have any info on the parts? looks good man, keep us updated on the tuning process-

Hey Mike hows everything going in your tuning process?

 

Done ... I was on track last Sun. This weekend is the SCCA regional out at MMP.

 

nice- what was your initial impression on the track with the turbo versus the blower? what numbers are you running? how much PSI at the track?

 

I just drove my car around and on just 4lbs, it feels way faster than it did.

 

Mike can't tell you, Everything is a secret with him now.

Just playing with you mike.

Biggest improvement on track I noticed was definitely the new suspension, wheel & tire setup. Early power of the turbo is a big improvement over the super charger ... especially for slower decreasing radius turns.

I'm running an electronic boost controller with boost varying based on speed, traction, etc. We created a few different maps. I'm running the most conservative one right now which has a peak of 14 PSI. Once I get the front splitter and I'm confident on track temps are all well under control, I'll most likely run a a peak of 16 to 18 PSI.

 

From what I have read and experienced......with your lower compression mike it is not upping the boost that may hurt you, its going to be your timing.

How much timing does Christian have the car pushing? Max I felt good about was 14 degrees advance, but as you say......I am a wuss!


Can I take a look at that map now?

I just dynoed my car last night and on 7.5psi I made 317 RWHP, Stock it made 166 on the same dyno. So its quite a improvement.

it really likes to get sideways now. it made my AO48's feel like butter at miller today.
