Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
Its still kinda airbound at the moment. Once i get my Lisle coolant fill funnel i will be able to bleed it well and see the final results. But it held 192 driving around. just takes a while to cool off once hits 200 when parked which means its airbound. Wish i could run my 14" fan but only a 12" fits. made a shroud out of an aluminum cake pan today which helps takes up abotu 3/4 of the surface area of the radiator . Going to get another 12" fan as a pusher on the driver side to aid the 12" puller currently on the car. Also keep in mind is 90+ degrees outside here so not bad all in all. I think im going to block off some of the gaps around the radiator too to force ALL the airflow to the radiator. large gap over the top of it currently

This was on a ten minute street retune lol. Af at the track elevation was low 11's. The tranny was probably hurt from the last track day cutting 1.60's and I think I heard bearing noise at one point. No gsc came yet. This was still on the CTR cams.
Not sure what went yet. First pass of the night third gear was non exsistant. Second pass every gear was very notchy. Third pass blew charge pipe. Fourth pass was playing with boost control and thought I heard something on the return road but couldn't confirm. Made 5th pass and basically limped it down the track gears are super notchy and won't go in high rpm then on return rOad under accel and deccel there's alot of wobbling and grinding
Migh have sourced a minty gsr trans locally and also a gearset so I have multiple spares in the future. Trans prob come out this weekend

Re: LST / LS-T Turbo B18A B18B setups
Wow that's great numbers!!! Whats your setup again? Also that's good for stock map sensor, I'm currently running a omni power 4 bar map sensor now ... I figured since I was piecing the kit together might as well get the good parts now and spend money later on other parts I will need..

Temperatures dipped to 29 last night, still have straight water in the car. Hopefully the garage stayed warm enough.

Very nice Thomas and almost similar to mine but your making more power than mine on less boost.. That's awesome I was hoping to crack 300 but I'm happy how she sits at 257hp ..
