Did a north run with a couple of biker friends. Started with patterson, and ended somewhere in lutz.

 

Drove my car for the first time in 2 weeks.. it feels nice

 

i always like driving a truck too^ lol jk

 

 

ohh man. update. We're selling the house in Tampa sometime next week. already have a contract on it, My car will be up and running sooner then I thought.yessssssssss.

 

You said...

Ahhh fuck it, that post is priceless and speaks for itself.

 

Scott and I did some tuning and research this weekend on the RS Enthalpy demo car. We used the facility at XAT and things went smoothly. We found that the tune was basically perfect as it was (which is good because I've been driving it like that for months!). Car is down on power a little over it's last setup, so we're going to go back to the dyno we used last year just to double check that someone else's dyno isn't reading high.

Results were 410whp, 323wtq at 1.3 bar boost. Power parts are 2.0L SR20 with JWT C1 cams, Greddy intake manifold, and Garrett GT3071R twin-scroll .78ar on a Full-Race manifold. Management is an RS Enthalpy ROM tune with Z32 mafs and 740cc Nismo injectors.

Last year, we made 427/332 but that setup included HKS 264in/272ex Step3 cams. This is mainly due to the high rpm torque drop off of the 264/264 setup versus the 264/272. Lose 10tq at 7500rpms and there goes 15hp! On the flip side, our current setup spools about 300rpms sooner than it did last year. I should also mention that the car is MUCH more well behaved around town with the C1's than the Step3's. The car is just as scary fast as it's ever been, too.

 

^^What final drive are you using now? I think you had a 4.3 when i was in it.

Awesome work. Any track events on the schedual soon?

 

take a guess....

 

I'm running the stock 4.083 again with 255/40/17's on 17x9's. That might be part of the lower results. The first time I ran was with the 4.363 and 225/50/16's on 16x8's. I know gearing shouldn't be playing a part in the measurement, but we did one test that showed otherwise. We did a 5th gear partial pull at 1 bar to show the difference in spool-up on the dyno (versus 4th gear). It was indeed earlier, but the overall torque was notably less. If theory holds true, it should have been the same.

No track events yet. I'm going to take another crack at sealing these oil leaks. Then I might to a TR track day or something. I'm getting new sus soon so I'll wait until that's squared away to try a HPDE at Sebring.
