Car has been in storage and have not driven it for 4 years due to a cracked manifold and I had only driven it only a hand full of times in the last 7 years.
I decided to get it running or sell it and I chose get it running. Replaced the manifold and waste gate and had a new down pipe and dump tube made. Did a bunch of maintenance as well TB/WP belts etc.

Got the car tuned Thursday and while it turned out good was hoping for a little more power although the tuner seemed really happy with the power is was putting out at the boost level it was tuned for.
Car made 264whp and 231tq on 11lbs. The car feels good but I was hoping to shoot for 300hp. Tuner didnt want to turn the boost higher with out head studs as the motor is 100% stock. I understand because I told him I just want to be able to drive it this summer not tear it apart lol Its quick but nothing exciting as it was tuned for 9lbs previously so it feels mildly faster to me but the setup is much more reliable that what it was before.

Setup:
Speed Factory Ramhorn
Garrett T3TO4E 57trim .63A/R /Cone air filter
Turbosmart 45mm WG
3" downpipe // 3" full exhaust
JRC intercooler // 2.5" charge pipes
Apexi BOV
Tuned on Chrome

 

Clean setup, you may not have hit the number you wanted but I’m sure that it will be a fun car to drive with that power

 

E85 should get you a few more HP easily.

 

Great setup, it will be a ton of fun enjoy blistering tires! Nothing more fun then a basic turbo ls setup!

 

good numbers and thats a nice powerband. I would recommend selling me your wheels and then using that money to do a vtec head and retune

 

Sounds about right on stock Ls motor.

 

Nice. I wouldnt worry about turning it up more to hit 300.

 

I think that’s pretty good for a stock Ls on 11lbs. Glad you got it up and running!

 

Very smooth powerband! Excellent work!

 

Thanks guys just figured I would share. Its crazy driving this car after so long not being in it, wife and I are shopping for a Land Cruiser and after driving those and our truck this thing feels like a total death trap.....in a good way though

Unfortunately I would have to completely re tune the car. The injectors in there now are Evo 560's and they are not the greatest, also not that easy to find E85 close by.

Its pretty fun on the street......you have to find something interesting to trade me LOL

I wasnt that worried about it but the tuner didnt seem to want to push it past where its at. Im okay with that since I just want to drive it. Dont want to tear it apart in July, we only get like 8 weeks of summer here in Seattle then it goes back in the garage.
