Anyway, good news first. I'm going to SEMA early November!! :D

My lackluster track experience prompted the trip to the dyno saturday morning, and the tuning went well, the car feels good, but she's smoking like a freight train after boosting from turbo seal issues, and I've got some pretty major blowby, which I'll pull the head and install some new rings in a month or two. Car's still drivable, but I'll need to pull the thing apart to have the turbo rebuilt, the head needs a valve job, guides and seals, and the bottom end needs rings... What fun I'll just keep a case of oil in the car til I get the funds for that. Might be just after Christmas. At least she's not detonating, or snap crackling and popping like before...

She made 232 horsepower at the wheels, 180 ft pounds at the wheels at 15 PSI. We tuned it to 1 full bar, and she loved it, but it's not a healthy engine Needs s'more work, definitely.

Til then, this little 275 HP 1.6L will have fun busting unsuspecting 5.0's, c5's, and SS's asses

230whp should haul *** in that thing. what turbo u running?

 

wat fuel / ecu setup? 230whp at 14.7psi is about what I'd expect with your range of problems

 

Garrett 4/3 with a .48 a/r turbine <stage III, I HOPE, not sure> and a .50 a/r compressor side.

Made 30 pulls on the dyno with only short(1-2 minute) idle times between pulls, and the water for the intercooler never got over medium tapwater temperature.

I'm running a Z-Dyne ecu with Venom 550cc injectors, and a Holley in tank pump for a turbo Eclipse. No other fuel system mods at this point. Stock lines, filter, rail, FPR, and drainback.

On a lighter note, a kid in his dad's NSX got his *** handed him today. Probably got 3-4 cars on hiom by 70 mph. That's not even shifting to third yet on my LS tranny

Sweet EF!

he would need at least 350whp to be even with you.
and question.. did you have any problems with your ECU eliminating one O2, and do you still have closed loop?

 

I'm running a Z-Dyne, No needs for 2 O2 sensors. I've got a single wire in my DP JUST after the turbo, which keeps it warm. I want to install a 4 wire O2, just to make it more accurate, but that'll come later.
