Figured there would be more 2.4 guys posting up in this thread considering you should be one of if not the most powerful 2.4 around once you get all that internals work done.

Anyways.... MUSH! FASTER FASTER FASTER!

 

lol i havent tried 15 psi yet.. i'm up to 11.5, plus its snowing out here.. gonna wait til spring to drop on a smaller pulley

 

once you get it up and running i wanna see that beast

 

I'll be trying 15psi when I get back from TDY.

 

<3 emu.

If you want 15psi make sure you have Solid motor mounts and poly trans mounts. You will for sure need an upgraded clutch, if manual obviously. 15psi is kinda silly considering all you do in 1st and 2nd is spin.

 

check

 

i think 15 psi on my setup will get my final goes but i dunno

 

lol pjk i didnt see the Fx300 the first time. same clutch i have!

 

how do you guys like that clutch, how much did it run you and where did you get it ?

 

Where you running 15psi on the M62? If so, what pulley were you running.. a 2.8 or 2.7? Thats a lot of heat and that could have also caused an issue with your engine going.

I just noticed where you are from.. I graduated HS in Easton.

 

Sw4 i have a G5, running 15 psi on the Hahn turbo kit.

lol ya i live like 10 mins from easton HS =p

 

have you tracked that car yet to see what it runs on 15 psi?

 

What turbo are you running on that kit again? is it the Disco Potato? on 15psi your roughly around the 310bhp range with a 7k redline, 11 AFR, and sea level(which i know your not). Did you ever get it dyno'ed?

You were getting pretty close to the limits as far as airflow on that turbo. If your building it up, i would sell that turbo, buy a GT3071R or GT3076R. It should be a direct replacement.

Your goals are what, 400whp? 500 if possible? Well if you went with a GT3076R, you room above 400whp. To make 400whp at sea level(this is all done by calc, so its close but not exact), with a 7k redline, and an 11.3AFR, you would need to run about 25psi. Thats 440bhp worth of air, on a 2.4ltr engine with a 7k redline at sea level. Its roughly 45.5lb/min of airflow where the GT3076R can support about 50lb/min while staying within the 70% efficiency island. Thats about 485bhp or 425whp with a 12% drive train loss.

EDIT: Crap, i just realized the 3076R only comes in a T3 flange, but the 3071R comes with the T28 exhaust that would be a direct replacement for your GT2860.

 

I love it. It holds real good, everything I throw at it so far. No slippage. I wouldn't race it every weekend though, it's a kevlar clutch. Hitting the strips every now and then shouldn't be an issue. Pedal feel is like stock, maybe a little springier and a tad earlier catch. I paid $586 for mine and had a local shop install for $500. Used the stock flywheel because the fidanza I purchased was defective. Resurface the flywheel before you reuse it first.

 

nice build man. I am going to push 10psi with my kit. If I can get a spare engine I might attempt what you are.

 

bump for update 8)

 

bump for update and pics

 

we wanna see the terbo.

 

lol the turbo is nothing new... had it on since april 08

http://216.120.253.113/epictuning/ga....php?cat_id=59

is the build progress if your interested in seeing it.

 

cough gt3071 cough

 

yeah i thought you were goin with a bigger turbo than what was on there.

 

lol after dumping 6k into this build so far i really cant afford another 1-2k on a new turbo/manifold

 

bump for complete build! Any and all comments welcome =p

 

vidz?

 

i will try to get some up soon as possible, i have to be gentle on her for the first couple hundred miles atleast lol.
