hey i saw that you sold your h/e. well what is your cooling system like now? did you get the griffin h/e?

 

technically didnt sell it shes still on my car. After i put the phenolic spacer in, my iat2's only differ at max 10 degrees difference from ambient. and after a long pull only about a 30 degree difference with the 10 gph nozzle im running. I should be able to get some nice timing in her even without E85 we shall see sunday. Im also running a 3 bar map sensor and after joe was looking through some of danews logs when he had his tvs his stock map sensor was seeing over 22lbs, so that 21.7 theory is out the window. Gonna play with the 3 bar on the lsj and see what kinda boost the pcm will actually read

 

It'll still max out at 21.7 unless you can rescale the map. But that 21.7 will actually be 29.4.

 

i have all the values to rescale the map, im not just gonna throw it on the car

 

Lucky you, and your ability to re scale the map.

 

i take it you cant on your pcm huh that sucks

 

Man, I'm really Interested to see what your Results are, Very Interesting Thread.....One Question though: Why did you personally go with the TVS Instead of going with a LSJ Turbo Swap like most people do? Was it just because of the Reliability?

 

No i track the car alot and do circle track racing as well so i want the nice powerband the tvs has. Plus i already had all the supporting mods to push the tvs as well and got a good deal on one. Maybe if i get bored of this one day i may go turbo but for now looking for 370whp on a dd front wheel drive will sufice.

 

The average turbo swap i see on here nets 350 to 400 max usually so ill sacrifice some peak hp for a nice curve

 

alright lol than i pretty much got the same setup as you. and i upgraded to a lsj map recently so i can see actual readings of my iat2 and boost. but i will see lower than 21.7 boost cuz i'm built and got my head ported.

 

i hear you you running a blower or turbo setup?

 

i'm sticking with the sc but just got a tvs tho.

 

finally got everything done tuning starts tomorrow bright and early at 9 will post updates

 

Ve is coming in nicely thank god

 

hows that 3bar lookin?

 

the values we had for it worked out good, unfortunately the pcm at max on a datalog is only showwing 22.05 lbs of boost, so autometer mechanical boost gauge for me

 

awesome! where'd you pick it up from and how much?


yeah i went with the 20vac/30psi mech. autometer, pretty stinking nice

 

same one i went with autometer es series 20 vac 30 psi gauge really nice got it for 63 shipped off ebay jegs wanted like 85 plus shipping for the same one

 

God dam ic pump went out thats when u know youve had ur ss for a while this will be the second time lol

 

d'oh!

I've been running a used one for about 25,000miles. im sure it will die soon haha

 

yea this was a ford lightning pump my buddy has found a way to rebuild the brushes though and has one for 50 dollars brand new

 

most just need to be cleaned and they still work fine

 

naw over time the brushes wear down when they get to be about and eighth of an inch is when the pump stops working

 

well mine was just dirty from the brushes wearing, opened it, dumped it out, worked perfect. still a lofts meat on the brushes iirc

 

verde protocol rims oredered from doc at tirerack today will be able to shave calipers soon then friday after payday M&H slicks will be on the way. Sunday we will finish dialing her in the dinwiddie drag strip on the 30th of this month
