Yeah, and first time I had it out this year, it was a little chilly still, I hit a bump and it shot across the rest of the way.
I decided to brave the heat (you get baked inside of this car in the hot sun) and drive it yesterday and today. Hopefully after work, I'll be able to put the laptop on it, do some data logs, and try to get it ready to increase boost.
You are brave, it's hot as hell out. Apparently yesterday, there were 48 states in the 90's!!
I need another ride after you increase the boost!!!! Please! HAHA!
Ya it's been a long time, back when you didn't have 2nd gear lol
Haha ya I have a feeling I will. Even back then, it was crazy fast.

I'm going to the Autointerest dyno day next week, we'll she how much she's putting down
Dyno'd mine at the same dyno day that Pablo did. It was completely impromptu, but they were running ahead of schedule, and I had money in my wallet, so I figured why not.
Results: 171 hp / 154 tq.
Before anyone says "Oh, you have all that work done to yours and that's all you put down?" Yes... physical labor installing parts. Pablo and I put a bunch of time in on the turbo upgrade. But this dyno was meant to be a baseline of all baselines. No boost controller, so I'm running wastegate pressure (7 psi). No tune. I'm actually running the bad tune that the old VJ35 was running on at 12+ psi. So, all things considered, I'm plenty happy with those numbers. It has nowhere to go but up. Looking back, I'm hitting the same power on the new turbo at 7 psi that I was at 12+psi on the old turbo. That already tells me that I'm on the road to much more power.
