Well it has been a rough 5 days!!!! We started to finish up my car last Wednesday with the help of CompressionFed John Ast, Matt Jones and my buddy Jim Hentz. We finished up ic piping and downpipe , axles etc etc , just soo much left undone with the car just sitting for a few months. We stayed up very late that night then on Thanksgiving late night we finished up all the mechanical stuff. Drive from Chesapeake VA to Concord NC home of RLZ Engineering, keep in mind I had been up since 11:30 AM on Thanksgiving, get to NC at about 2:30 PM on Friday (had to drop my daughter off to visit her Grandparents in Winston-Salem NC). We(Jason "JDogg" Wadsworth, Alex Cardinell aka wannabsi, Howard"Airshifter" Shoaf, Brad Z aka MAX_CFM) start finishing up the wiring for the COP, AEM CDI etc etc etc. We get the car on the dyno Friday night and to our SURPRISE after getting 3 pulls on the dyno it made 589whp at only 8300 rpm then next run 610whp on ONLY 18 psi spiking to 21psi!!!! We were are stoked and very very very surprised. We ran into some issues with missing and also we did not have any boost controller either (JDogg forgot the BOOST SOLENOID to use AEM's boost controller function). We do an oil change to a thicker w3eight oil and lost 20whp actually We had been running on only a 3" downpipe also, we decided to test out the 5" downpipe that Matt from One Fab made and to our surprise we made full boost much sooner(from 6500rpm to 5900 rpm). We gained our 20whp back from the 5" downpipe and spool was great, we only ran up to maybe 9K rpm also so we decided to rev up to 10k+ BUT then next pass 4th gear blew( it looked like a Trailer Park Hooker aka NO TEETH). So we leave it at the shop and decide to fix 4th gear the next day. Boostfed finally gets 6 hours sleep after being up a total of 41 hours straight!!!!! We get to the shop in the morning dropped the tranny and fix 4th gear. We dyno again now with boost control wired in, we get the car to make 711whp and 463 ft-lb with 37psi, kinda low for that much boost considering what we made on only 21psi. Also we could not get the A/F lower in high boost, it would get to 10.8:1 A/F and no matter how much we leaned it out NOTHING seemed to work! We decided airflow was being restricted, so we point the finger aty the 2.5" IC piping and small 65mm TB. We get her done and leave teh shop late to go home and get a whole 2 and half hours sleep! We had a Race Event at Rockingham Dragway on Sunday which was rained out. We decided to make 3" ic piping and also install a 70mm TB, we make some pulls and can tell we were making some progress even though we had misfiring issues. We make 715whp once and 470 ft-lb torque with a few 711whp pulls as well, the boost now is 35psi SPIKE but levelling to only 32psi now. We blew a coolant hose off the water neck so we realized we either popped a headgasket or it has a sunk sleeve, I will pull the head this week and check her out. I would LOVE TO THANK everyone who helped me ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty John Ast aka Compressionfed, Matt Jones, Jim Hentz, Jason "JDogg" Wadsworth, Alex Cardinell aka wannabsi and Brad Z aka MAX_CFM and Howard "Airshifter" Shoaf from RLZ Engineering! These guys spent countless hours tuning, welding and just helping with the car! I am completely indebted to you guys. I will scan teh dyno chart later and post it, actually I do not have any of the 711whp charts SINCE they were not saved but have I think a 690whp one to scan. Set up below as well

GE Sleeved B18C block 83mm with LS Crank
RLZ Engineering Ported B16A head (BEST out there, on my old B16A set up made 90whp increase on low boost and 60whp on high boost)
Arias 83mm 9.2:1 Pistons coated by Tom Cote aka TBone
Arias Upgraded Wrist pins
Manley/Full Race LS Rods
ACL Bearings
Cometic MLS Headgasket
REV Valvesprings and retainers
Ferrea Valves
Stock 96-98 Spec ITR cams
Edelbrock Victor X Intake Manifold
70mm RPM Services Throttle Body and 65mm Edelbrock TB (both tested)
Precision 1600cc Injectors
One Fab Top mount manifold and 5" dp(needs to be reworked to fit )
Garrett GT4088R .95 A/R turbine
Precision 750hp IC
Tial 50mm BOV
Turbosmart 48mm Wastegate
Competion Clutch Twin Disc clutch
AEM EMS 1040U
AEM 5 bar map sensor
AEM C2DI ignition
CBR 954rr Coil on Plug set up (need a Hall effect sensor to clear misfires we think)
Aeromotive Eliminator Fuel Pump -10 feed line
Aeromotive FPR
C&R half size Civic Radiator


We are gonna change the headgasket and inspect everything and get some FINE TUNING done with some changes. Car should be ready for the beginning of next season to get some track #s unless we get her to some of teh shitty tracks still open

If this was tooooo much to read then #s were 715whp and 470 ft-lb torque 32psi

Also we are gonna do a Hall Effect Sensor set up also I think IF we keep the AEM EMS


EDIT:The dyno was out of paper and the 711whp runs were not saved!!!!!! I got a few discs whcih I had to convert and the only one that works is my 25psi run on the dyno here it is




EDIT: I would also like to thank Millenium Autosports out of Norfolk VA, I have known these guys since 1997 whne they worked for another shop. Grey, Brian, Sean and Matt have always helped me out , partially sponsored me also. They let me use their facility to finish up piping and get my car ready, I am also always INDEBTED to these guys!

We need about 8 inches of straight, I know we need a little less BUT better safe than sorry sir

 

where did you get the 5" v-band

 

it doest start at 5"... it starts at 3" and tapers to 5"
ok, so expletive my 4" dp im getting... im making a 5" me and boostfed can start the next bandwagon

 

Hot ****, man . Absolutely wicked.

 

DAYMN!

lol

 

Sick, and you thought 4" was excessive...

 

nice job guys

 

I would have liked to see the differences on the 4 vs 5" DP.

 

Wait wait....maybe I missed something. Why are you using 5" piping?...isn't that a little much?

If you read the post above Matt from One Fab sent this to me to try out, PLUS with a turbo car run as big exhaust and/or downpipe that will work because with TURBOS less backpressure=MORE I would run a 4" dp no problem BUT we shall see if we get this piece of straight 5" oiping to make this one work

 

Thats a huge dp. It made a good difference in the spool time. Are you going to try to make more power after you get the motor fix'd? You had GE sleeve sink before havent you?

 

hey barrel *** congradulations on the numbers. Its about time you got that ******* thing on the dyno!!!!! 5" downpipe???? You bastard you took my idea No but congradulations keep up the hard work. Maybe one of these days when my car is done we will line it up!

 

Right on man. Glad you are getting close to finish it. I have one question though....You made 610whp on 18psi and only 715whp on 32psi? What did I miss?

 

So, when I come to Virginia, I get to drive it right Terry?

We are wondering the same THING!!!!!! haha It was actually about 21psi since it creeped and held steady at 21psi BUT still that was very good power for onlyt 21psi we felt. We then though "Boy is this thing really gonna make some HUGE power when we turn it up!" It didn't make as much as we expected or thought it would've taken less boost to make the power we did make. We do know that this GT4088R is rated for 700hp CRANK from Garrett BUT we all know they usually underrate their products because I usually see set ups make the #s at the wheel as opposed to the flywheel. Again I onky expected about 725-750whp MAX from the turbo but felt 35psi would do it before we had it on the dyno. We still have testing to do soooooooooooooo

 

How were you intercooler temps?? We had a car do something very similar. I'm curious to what your outcome is

 

congrats terry that thing is finally done
