After 2 years of trials tribulations, blown motors, blown turbos, rebuilds, heartache, sweat, tears, blood (ok, just cuts on my hand from pulling the head and motor but still), and emotional breakdown, I think she's finally solid as can be. Just got her tuned yesterday. Since it's been down for 2 years it's a little rough around the edges on the looks side, but she'll be getting her WWRS lip kit back on Sunday. Dying to put the stock hood back on, but just have to get some dents out of it (Do'H). Here she is about to get it on...



Here's what she threw down on <FONT COLOR="Red">12-13 psi</FONT>, which is relatively low for my build. It should easily break 400+ on pump gas (16-17psi) and hoping for 500+ on race fuel (22-24 psi if I ever have the cojones ). My tuner said that this is also a very conservative tune (timing is back at like 18.7X or something). I'm also still running PS and AC



I plan on turning up the boost after I put a restrictor in the oil feed line (oil pressure spikes at 80psi :eek: ), vent the valve cover/crank case to catchcans, and get some **** diesel hose clamps. On this current tune, I hit full boost around 4ish and annihilate my poor tires almost all the way through 1st (from a roll) and pretty much anything after 5K in second. On the highway, it's a very unassuming low comfortable quiet hum, but when I get on it, it's like awaking a beast (keep in mind i'm used to 170whp and went straight to this). Drives great so far for my personal preferences, it's exactly what I wanted and more than I expected for the "low boost tune."

I'll have shots of the engine bay and full dyno sheet up in a bit. Here is what's under the hood (or at least what I can remember):

Main Shot


Tight fit... I'm going back to Florida so I gotta keep the AC hoses.


Ceramic Coating helps keep it cool down there. During tuning and street driving temps were very much as normal as can be. Yes that's a stock radiator.


Got rid of that horrible stock manifold design... But still running stock TB for now


Yep, still rockin' power steering...




Still gotta tuck and screw everything away neatly. I was too excited to drive it, I'll take care of that tomorrow.

 

i have one if you dont mind me posting it?

 

Go for it mang!

 

not the best pic but its all i got.

 

Damn, that sunlight spilling across the engine bay is a beautiful thing tho. Thanks bro!

 

yea you gotta love late november and 60* temps.

 

nice space-saving manifold...good design too..

just noticed..why is the #1 primary so much longer than #4?

 

I don't know, ask CFT haha. I heard it gives you mad extra boost yO! Nevertheless, it works for now.

I do remember now that they had to design it that way to fit under my ricer *** hood. Probably would have been an equal length otherwise. Probably upgrade later this year if I feel the need.
