Some hairdryer eyecandy for you all :)

Some fun numbers for you guys!

She made 300whp @ 8 psi

Pulling a lot of timing and running her even more rich, she was turned up to 10 psi and made 317whp / 304ft lbs of torque.

This is testing all on the stock motor useing others testing results running up to 14 psi on stock internals. For now I plan to run her on the street @ 10 psi which is what I ran the supercharger at. She is simply sick at this boost level.

When the motor build is complete I will be turning her up to around 18-20 psi which will net around 500whp or so. Also turning up the redline to 7500 with the new head and internals. Should make for a very fun interesting tc hahaha.

Here is the best dyno run. More tuning to come with a little more agressive settings.

*LOL* will just change cars at that point and it will be AWD haha.
if they would've made the tC's rwd i would've bought one long ago. i dont even want to think about all that power in a fwd car. but it would be a blast dusting unsuspecting porsche owners on the highway.

and of course i have to give props for all the hard work, time, and effort that took. whats it drive like? is it still civil or has it lost some of its manners?

 
Actually with the larger turbo it is VERY civil until you nail it then all hell breaks loose. This car was never meant to be FWD with 300+whp hahaha. Cannot wait until 450-500whp. It tears it up hardcore when it comes into boost. When off boost you would never know it was even boosted *LOL* Drives like a stock tc. Does not bounce into and out of boost all the time like a stock turbo setup or a small frame turbo setup.

What I love most is how hard the torque comes in... when boost comes on it simply rips the tires apart in 1st - 3rd and pulls hard all the way to redline in 5th gear. never lets up.

Here are some more pics...

Az, I like my wheels haha. They are 5zigen 5zr's in hyper black. I would like to go to the non riveted 3 peice 19" for shows soon.

 
Hahaha. You guys are funny. And yes, motor is going to be built. Doing the test setup on stock internals to around 300whp. Then yanking it all out for the build to hold the boost increase. Doing Mahle pistons, Carillo rods, Ferrea top end, extrude hone, balance shafts removed, lsd, reinforced axles.. blah blah blah.. basically all around fun in a car that looks like it could not outrun a civic si haha.


Ha! The car I'm getting Very soon (sooner then you think Kris) has that STOCK!

07 STI FTW

 
What kind of SAE DJ numbers you think your car can put out on pump gas?
Those are sae dyno jet numbers and on 91 pump gas //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif turning her up a tad more on the stock motor on c16 for some runs this weekend so see what I can turn time wise.. I estimate about 350-360whp so we will see what happens. Either I scatter the motor or have a blast haha! Glad the spare engine is well on it's way being built!
