mistafosta Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 https://youtu.be/mQ8T7sKmsz4Thanks to Nate and Starkweather tuning, we were able to get a nice base tune on the car. Found out I need co2 to get over 15lbs of boost with this tiny turbo though! Still, made good power for 15lbs of boost.Looking forward to making some passes in the next month or two, and maybe getting back on the dyno with 5-10psi more boost!

JoeK Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If you're going to make some passes at Sonoma Raceway, let me know and I'll try to make it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistafosta Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thats making good power. What are the motor specs? 427 ci LSX block with 265cc heads and a fairly big cam (250s duration, 650+ lift). It was being held back by the turbo size to engine size issue for this dyno session, and the fact that I couldn't get any more boost without co2 which I don't have installed yet. Stay tuned for a new turbo, I got a screaming deal on a GT5533, so I'm gonna swap that in next month, and hopefully we can see a bit more power on the dyno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistafosta Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Did a few more things to the car, started dialing in the suspension, and added wheelie bars to be safe, since this car likes to climb when it hooks.3 hours before going to the track, found a bit of a problem. Seems I sucked a zip tie or something down my turbo while on the dyno...Lucky for me, my buddy had a twin of it, so we swapped it out, and headed to the track. Spent a long time chasing electrical gremlins, (Ended up having a bad cell in my optima...) and then finally got the car out there to make a nice easy A to B pass.Needless to say, car went a bit faster than expected considering I didn't have the boost up very high, and it was leaving at 3lbs of boost and 3400rpm.Got the car to leave later in the evening, but the clocks were off, so I have no idea what it ran. According to my logs, I passed the 1/8 around 140+. Excited to make it back out again in a few months! Just picked up a sponsor who is setting me up with a Holley Dominator system to get the car working even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
