Continuation from this build thread.

Before I get into discussing the car, I would like to thank a few people in no particular order.

Corey Parrish from Slowmotionmotorsports - I've dealt with Corey and Slowmotion for many years now, and a few different cars. Each and every time has been an awesome experience. I can't say enough how Corey's hard work and dedication puts him in an elite group of tuners across the country. If you are in the greater Columbus, OH area, make it a point to contact Corey, he will certainly treat you right !!

Jeff Evans from Evans Tuning - Jeff is one of the more knowledgeable guys in the field today. I've done some business with Jeff, and he has always given me the best price with superior advice, and is super quick to return pm's/emails as well.

Tony Palo from T1 Race Development - Tony, like Jeff and Corey has an extreme work ethic. He always answers any questions I may have, and stands behinds the products he sells.

Justin Cobb - Justin has always been there for me, even when I haven't deserved it. If he had his own shop, I'd put him in the same league as Corey, Jeff and Tony w/o question. I've bounced so many ideas off him, one of the smartest guys I know.

Adam Myers & James Nigh - Since my tune was on a Wednesday, it was tough for people to attend due to work and other obligations, and due to some last minute scheduling conflicts had these 2 guys stepped up and came along with me, I wouldn't have went alone. It's a 2.5hr drive one way, with a truck/trailer.

S2Ki Forced Induction Crew - All I can say is thanks. If I've spoke to ya in the past through posts or pm's you know who you are, thank you. You guys have offered alot of insight and help.

Thanks again everyone.

The day started EARLY, we were on the road by 7:15am. My apt was 10:00am, we got there about 10:15am.

Got out stretched, unloaded while Corey finished up another car on the dyno.

We got a quick lunch @ Wendy's, lol, and when we got back, closer to noon we were getting started.

After cleaning up partial throttle maps, coming from my 30r, we started to make some power.

With the boost solenoid off, or spring pressure of 8psi, it was creeping to 12-13lbs by redline.



At this point, we are feeling pretty confident about it making power. We kept pushing, and ended up making some more power. This setting is my low boost setting.



Before we started to really get cranking on it, we decided we better throw my knock sensor back in. Last spring when I was doing the clutch install, I snapped it off, and never replaced it. However before it got crazy we decided to put it back in. While we were doing this, we saw a huge mess of oil under the car. Turns out the oil return was leaking on the hose end. I was using the black vinyl hose. We spent almost 2 hrs pulling the compressor housing off, and replacing the hose with the ss braided line. It's a good thing we added the knock sensor when we did, as we were down almost a 1qt at the time.

We had a lengthly discussion on using the 110 octane fuel that I brought, or continuing on the meth tune. It was 9:30pm by now, and a race tune would take another 1-2 hrs..so I figured why not. The car was responding well, IAT's, ECT's, and knock were all within acceptable ranges. IDC was getting up there a little bit, so we added 5% or so on the BAP, and off we went.

Once we hit the 24psi mark the car started to break up heavily around 6-8k and we were forced to turn it back down to 23psi. We even put in new plugs, gapped them down and even upped the dwell 2%.

The final numbers.



By this time, it was close to 12:00a, after being there for over 14hrs STRAIGHT, Corey and I took it around the block. It was very chilly, even though it was PERFECT weather all day, and on 23psi, lol. It hit boost and instantly jumped out..lol..so much for that..haha.

Packed it up, drove home and walked in the door @ 3:30am.

More pics/vids to come.

 

Here are some pictures from dyno day.

 

thats some nice power you putting down...

 

HOLY S, you are the man, i want to be like you

 

Nah, I'm just an ordinary guy.

 

any plans on building something to rev it higher?

no point in a turbo that size if you are stopping at 8500 rpms.

 

SICK!!!!

 

It's tuned until 9k, and no I'm not building the head at this point.

 

did they ever pull it to 9 on the dyno? im curious to see where the power would have started falling off.

it seems to be the common thing these days w/s2000 builds, everyones setup peaks way after their rev limit

 

I had a 30r last year that I LOVED, but it dies out @ 550whp. I wanted 700 this year, but my ignition didn't cut it.

Regardless, it's a FUN car, and for you to say that turbo is pointless is ignorant. Next logical step from a 30r is a 35r, and this turbo as we all know out performs it..so my question to you is, what would you choose instead?

 

No doubt its fun, I just asked if the power had started falling off by 9k.

no doubt at 700ish hp that turbo would have peaked by 9000 so for that you may have a great setup.

reving it out would make the car alot faster on a track. I see alot of dyno graphs like that, and shifting at 8500 would not be the fastest way around the track in this car.

 

NICE! This makes me happy I bought the 6262

 

Don't most feel a stock, unboosted F22 can't be reliably revved continuously to 8,500 let alone 9,000 rpm without bringing a premature failure? To do that under these kinds of stresses...

 

OMG!!

 

siadam? Nice numbers man, the car looks good as hell
The turbo you used is really quite a trend right now and quite frankly cant be beat with or with OUT the awesome price tag. You must have a hell of a power band lol

 

NICE.

i'm actually surprised no one said anything about the rotas.
LOL as long as you make power, no one cares.

 

I've heard it hear and there, but in the end it was my $$ I was spending, not the internets.

I'd rather go fast than look fast, for the guys who enjoy spending $3k-$4k on wheels, thats all good, but they are also the ones still rolling around with 200whp.

Each to their own I guess.

I'm not made of $$.

Thanks everyone.

 

my thoughts exactly on the wheels.. btw i pm'd you on s2ki..

 

Very nice numbers, and car. If you don't mind, how much did this end up costing in the end? I am looking to boost soon, and with just coming to the S2k scene from a Bseries Integra and EK, boost here is much more expensive. Roughly, what would you say is the amount?

 

Certainly more expensive...however anytime you do a good job and don't cut corners it cost.

Do it right or do it twice.

I'd say $5-8k depending on what you want.

 

very nice numbers and the whole wheel thing... nicely put

 

Wow.. I had heard of Evan's from when I was looking at getting my hondata for my si, and figured theyd be a good as any shop for my new s2k.. guess I picked right

 

Thanks.

 

Those are some nice numbers you're putting down. Very impressive! Agreed on the wheels, no one is going to see them when you're way out in front.

700whp or bust.

 

nice numbers...
