What’s up guys! I regularly see people post there set ups here so I figured why not post mine too! This is my third build with the same turbo. My first was with a stock block lsvtec making 280whp on the 2.25in exhaust for almost a year until I decided to go with a 3in exhaust without doing a retune. That ended in blown ringlands. Soon after I picked up a RS sleeved type r block. I built it using 81.5mm 9.8:1 wisecos and eagle rods. It cracked a piston due to overheating and a .0025in pw clearance. I should have gone with my gut to go with a larger clearance but I didn’t. This time around I went with .004in to allow some room for error, just in case. All built by me and tuned by Dave at DNR performance . This has been a nightmare for my fiancee by she has supported me anyways Here’s my set up…

Sweet! I like your choice on the 9.8:1 pistons. Makes for lively driving without boost.

My motor is loving this compression and so am I.

 

did you do a compression calculator? i think you might be a lil higher.

 

nice

I actually get lower numbers with the calculators. I called CP and had them calculate it and they said it was 9.7 with unsurfaced head and estimated it around 10:1 with the head is milled .012. I didnt have the combustion chamber volume so he said 10:1 is probably tops.

thanks!

 

nice set up. very clean!

 

nice fun number

 

I need to get an alignment now. It is all over the place!

 

Nice, although I was expecting it to be over 300wtq when I saw you at 424whp. Still, quality parts and sweet overall car!

 

Nice car man. I'm a little confused over the "this has been a nightmare for my fiancee" No build should be that much drama to create a nightmare....what made it so bad?

I spent most of my time in the garage or online whenever I was not at work, money, driving a "highly modified" car on california streets, the garage is a mess! LOL, etc.

Now that I am done, for now, I have been spending more time with her.

I remind her of this all the time!

 

Thanks for the props!

By the way, the little dip in the top end was caused by a little boost drop. it went from 15psi to 14ish for a moment and recovered.


Now I need some more seat time.

 

when do you get full boost by? it looks a little before 5k

I have to look at the datalogs but I think it was around 4700ish. I rev to 9200 to its quite a powerband!

 

sorta similar to my new setup,did it see the track yet?

It will this Saturday at CMI. I've done 12.1 with a shitty 60ft. I need to get an alignment, lower the tire pressure and get more seat time

 

&lt;-----jealous now

 

nice build

 

solid build. How's that LSD been holding up for you?

 

The LSD is holding up pretty good. I have not had any issues with it at all.
