Well I finally got around to posting a thread about my turbo from Modern Performance. First off, I am not finished tuning it, but I did have a chance to feal the power at 8PSI and all I can say is DAMN! I didn't think it would be that awesome. Right now I have it rich until I get the hang of how to tune it right. Here is a list of what I have:
Garret T3/T4 turbo (.43 a/r, I think, and super 57 Compressor)
FM manifold
Big FMIC
Two 42lb injectors before the TB
A Spal slim line high flow fan
Modern Performance's piggyback unit
Big ass 80mm mas air meter
Bosch recirculating by-pass valve
2.5"downpipe into a full 3" mandrel bent exhaust
High flow cat and a Bullet muffler
I believe this is all I have. I have some preliminary pictures up here: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4289551435 I made a turbo heat shield that I have not yet posted with the pics and am planing on having the piping powder coated an anodized looking yellow or red, haven't decided yet. I painted the pipes yellow because I had a can in the garage that wasn't being used and just wanted to put something on them so they don't rust, so excuse the pipes.
The tuning is kinda slow, but fun. I want to get the drivabilty down before I worry about the boost, so I can't really say much about that yet, but I will in a few weeks or so. With the bigger meter, I have more work to do than if I would of just left the stock meter on, but I have more potential for power with it. I plan on going forged maybe next year, so I went with the stage 2. Nick will be having a dyno day in a few weeks so when that happens I will have the dyno numbers at 10 or more PSI for you all to see so there will be no more questions about his unit.
I would like to say that he is extremely easy to work with and definately nows his stuff. If I lived up there, I would of been done sooner, but I don't have that luxury like Micah. I will try to keep checking the post as much as I can, but I will be tuning, so I apologize for any delays. Sorry if I'm not too detailed on the power, but like I said, I haven't boosted very much. I did however run a 1/4 mile test with a G-timer and ran a 14.9 with only shifting at about 5500 (very smoothly) and letting off before the test ended. Now the G-timer is pretty accurate, I checked and it is accurate to the tenths, not any higher. When I ran the 1/4 mile at the track, it was like a 16.68 something and the G-timer said 16.69 something so it's pretty close. Once again, I let off before the test stopped so I coasted to the end and I did not shift very fast, was trying to take it easy. I think I will definatly be in the mid to low 13's when tuned properly and at about 10PSI.
