Gotcha. That's really good to know. Is this a ball bearing unit? I will take a look at the log you posted again.

yes im runing the 62/62 dbb dual vband .83AR i might need to move my intercooler or make air ducts for better cooling

Something is going on from this log and the last log. Last log the HPFP was plenty happy. On this log 4th gear at 5500 rail pressure is EXTREMELY low (target 2900 like before, but actual pressure is 1615psi ). Not sure if this is what caused 6* of timing being pulled in cyl 3 and 6.

Definitely something you'd want to look into! otherwise, I love the rest of the log

i was thinking this was the boost increase but i will try to see if maybe i can get things cleaned up

I cant find any pics of the external gate but its a 44mm vs wastegate placed by the last exhaust port and it is pointed down. Once I get everything prefect I plan on selling it and buying a g30 and doing the same thing. ill have to post a log here soon.

I like the fact you wrapped your down pipe with the exhaust heat tape, I;m big on that too.. I do it to all my bikes, haven't done it to the car yet though lol

I would have liked to see how that exhaust coming out of the side would have looked!!

i had a 3.5" tear drop pipe cut out, ready to cut the fender apart... i just could not bring myself to do it as this is my daily driver

Ok, I can see why you didn't do it then... but it woulda been pretty sweet

im for sure at my limit now lol

Looks like you are pushing about 600 hp! Very nice numbers!

You have some turbo lag there though lol… all expected and worth it.

For AIT have you considered 100% meth? That would also help your fuel rail pressures.

yah ive been debating going with port injection and full pump e85 also. Im not sure what i want to do yet. Maybe both?

What do you think the limitations are of your stock internals and drivetrain? I was told about 700hp.

I think 100% meth and e85 could get you there. Then you don't have to worry about PI. This is the route I am going.

(10:30) Chris makes 3000hp on his 2 vs racing turbos...

I dont want to push the car much farther, around 600hp awd street car is plenty, even tho it weighs 4300lbs
I wanted to do full pump e85 so i dont have to mix and it smells really nice
Pure meth might be my best option right now...
I think i know a VP vendor for m1, what do you use for meth?

here is a good log, i got boost to hold good now, i need to set the gain up on the controller to spool it up better, this is only set to 30% gain. pure meth looks like my best option. with pure meth and a retune i think ill have a ripper!
my next task will be get a draggy video hopfully a 10 sec pass on the street!

boost stayed on point for that! and HPFP certainly improved but still well below target. Only off about 400psi. Much better than the prior 1300psi deviation !

Only 1 timing correction on cyl5 on 5th gear at high rpm. Not bad considering the fueling is still an issue.

Meth Injection would certainly do wonders here.

How is your trans liking this so far? Have you done anything about it? Mods/ maintenance?

i did a pan/filter and fluid change when i got the car, its about time to do it again. XHP stage 3, might havge to try that drag race mode

[Gjohnson7]

Hey, do you have a link to this intercooler you have?

"mishimoto 4" core intercooler (in-between the bumper and the radiator)"


I'm just wondering on the overall size and specs, wondering if this is contributing to your IATs.

awesome, same here. I used FCP's kit with LiquiMoli toptec 1800 fluid and ZF pan. Immediately felt the improvement with the fresh fluid (and I replaced it at about 115k more or less). xHP is just next level. I absolutely love it.

I don't want to try drag mode only because I keep seeing that the Mechatronics has a counter of these launch control/ drag mode launches of 50 and once you hit 50 it doesn't allow for more to essentially save itself with whatever friction material is left at that point

back when i was stock turbo i would use the launch control, had a hard time street racing trying to get a good launch on the flashlight. now i just brake boost. but im pretty sure that i used the same trans kit to service mine, i have a LOT of fcp receipts

I do VP meth but haven't tuned for it yet… coming very soon!

Im very curios to see a data log by you, i want to see those iat numbers!
