Went down to Charlotte last night, surprised to see Andy (Hooch) and D at Willard's pad when I got there. Much to see there - Yack and Bill installing a turblow, Willard throwing some goodies on Yung's (SP?) R, and D and Hooch standing around pounding beers. Bef and I polished off 21 Booshlaats and called it a night.

Got up this morning and headed over to the dyno day hosted by Yack and Bob (300+ whp Miata ). After seeing another turblow Miata (with Tec 3 standalone :drool: ) make about 15 runs, we got the Pig up on the rollers.



A little lower than I was hoping for, but then again, I discovered that I'm not running as much boost as I thought. The Defi is showing peaks above 1 bar, but I thought that was sustained. Turns out I'm really around 0.8 bar or so, with a spike up to 1 bar (saw as high as 1.12 on the rollers). Gotta find a way to get more boost without spending crazy loot on the IPD ECU or a standalone system.

No torque, because I (being the dumbass that I am) forgot to bring tools to pull off the engine cover bits so Yack could get to the rpm stuff (coil-on-plug ignition). Should be able to calculate that out later.

Oh, and proof that Cabarrus County doesn't like me:



One of NC's finest got me for 70 in a 55 on the way to Willard's. I was lucky though - I was passing someone (2-lane), and ran out of passing zone. If he had come around 5 seconds earlier, he would have clocked me at 90

Hey Rob - can I get Teddy's number from you again?

 

 

damn....another ticket.....you should invest in a radar detector.

 

Hi Pat.
Too bad about the poopoo!

Dave's about to send these downpipe bits out to get coated.

Ed - All I have to say is...

When is Dave going to start making 3" downpipes for Volvos?

 

Thanks, ... ask him!

 

Hmm. His wife does have a GLT, so he won't need my car for R&D

 

223 nicey

D

 

Have a safe trip back, D? Hope I was the lone we-todd to come home with a ticket

 

AWESOME!!! Boost owns you!! Hey if you're interested in modding your Volvo, I got a buddy who has a 400 whp C70 if your interested. If you want to his S/N or something just PM me. BTW Volvo rocks!!! Just wait till the S60 R comes out!

Sorry, I knew I'd butcher the spelling

Nah, Bef and I had to leave before your car went on. How'd it go?!?

 

Well. peak number wasnt high as me and Willard thought, but plot look good.
i should of taken pic of it with Will's digi.

Peak number was 178.6whp 126tq w/power steer
there was big lump of tq at 5500ish.
Willard can explain better than me.

 

NC's finest ehh.. yup, they got my bro too on strickland, but the trooper was undercover and came to my house. i was half naked and he asked "who drives the white acura".. so i knew that ma bro did somthing dumb. haha oh well.

nice #'s tho.

Got mine on 49. Where was yours?

Hrm. I'd have to see the plot, but I'm a little surprised at the peak. I would have figured A's + compression to hit a little higher. What should the m00gen gasket put you at?

nicey nice numbers pat.....

rob- who will phone j00 with teddy's number tomorrow

 

I got mine on I-85 during the NOPI Tour for "following too closely". He singled me out because I was the last in line of about 100 CARS that were FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY because we were ON A TOUR. I told him that and basically he told me to shut the **** up and that he didnt "give a ****" in a dumb redneck accent. Then I tried to send in my fine, and they sent it back, saying that "the officer wrote the incorrect amount on the ticket" and then tried to say it was late and wanted to add another $50 to the fine, in which case it was not late. Basically I called the clerk, told him and the court to **** off, and refuse to pay. [sarcasm]Im scared they may suspend my right to drive in NC[/sarcasm]

What is stock hp rated at for your pig?

 

Factory rating is 236hp crank, so I'm a little better than stock.

 

Trip was uneventful. no tickets so that is good for once.

 

Nice

 

nice pat, now you need to drive dat **** down here this upcoming weekend
