I will have to borrow his camera unless he's off. It'll be a saturday so if he goes, he can record whatever he wants. I do want to get a vid snapping through the gears though

congrats!

 
Rep Power: 279

You going to bring it out to the meet?

 
Rep Power: 350

Yeah, I think I will.

I just took it for a test drive and it runs like butter. Damn, I missed the feel of this thing. I'll probably drive it around a bit until I tune which will hopefully be around the 19th when I can afford it, lol. This thing has burned a huge hole in my wallet. Big things will be happening very soon

Rep Power: 300

come to the NOPI nationals so i can see it in person!

wow someone erased my last post on here!? must of said something wrong?

 
Rep Power: 293

Wow can't wait to actually see a dyno with 350whp. Good luck and keep us posted....come to az to finish mine

 
Rep Power: 350

Well, I've been talking to a few people and with the current setup I'm running, 350 whp may not quite be attainable just yet. I'm running 550's and no return line. On top of that, my turbine housing is only a .48 ar. So.....I'm thinking I'll probably make anywhere from 320-340 whp and will chill there for a bit. Meanwhile, I'll be getting ready to pick up a .63 ar housing and some 750's probably. Time will tell, I have no idea how the car will respond on the dyno but we shall see soon.

hey if you end up changing the injectors let me know, i need some bad and Im out of dough hehe.

 
Rep Power: 293

hey 320-340 will put a huge smile on your face. I wanna get 330whp but i don't think i can do it with my turbo so we will also see what happens

 
Rep Power: 279

yeah if you can get TRACTION!

And you do have upgraded axles?

 
Rep Power: 293

who needs axles? besides andyman has the ems he can 2 step that bitch run low boost in first and when second hits see ya later masterbaiter thats what i am gonna do

 
Rep Power: 584

they can still snap

 
Rep Power: 293

well why worry about axles? Everyone breaks them once......If you have a car with 350whp and worry about axles than your never gonna run good times. I have seen stage 3 axles rated fo 500whp snap on a car with only 300whp so yeah a lot could happen but I would rather snap an axle than a lot of other things

 
Rep Power: 279

I got the chanc to see this sick *** set up last night. All i got to say is Wow. Andy your the man lol!

 
Rep Power: 297

I agree on the axles. Let em break. Besides, I'd rather snap axles than replace trannys. Either way, F it. I chock it up to the cost of going fast. My opinion is if someone is gunna cry about breaking stuff, they should put the car back to stock and call it quits.

 
Rep Power: 350

Thanks bro. Your **** is sick too, son. I would have liked to have gotten a run with ya. Hopefully you'll be around for a bit, we'll get it done.

 
Rep Power: 301

I want to see this in real life

 
Rep Power: 279

Oh dont worry we will run! Im here for a good while. But once you get yours tuned.. im thinking lets hit up Ennis!

 
Rep Power: 387

ennis hmmm that track has came to mind a few times

 
Rep Power: 350

Lets do it!

I'm going to SA Friday prolly to get the dump tube made. I'll probably do my street tune that afternoon.

Then the next weekend, I'll be hitting up the dyno.

 
Rep Power: 257

#'s?

 
Rep Power: 350

Issues? Lol, I finished up and tuned. At 16 psi with a more conservative tune and lower c/r, I hit 255 whp. With this turbo on a pump gas tune, I can make roughly another 30-ish whp. I haven't scanned and doubt I will scan the dyno. The reason I didn't push more boost is that the wastegate spring is only a 6 psi spring, which I didn't know until we dyon'd. So it wouldn't allow me to push over 16 psi. However, I am in the process of doing alot more upgrades. Next will be a 1 bar spring, .63 ar turbine housing, full 3" exhaust from the downpipe back and return fuel line with fpr. I may end up running a custom grind cam and valvetrain upgrade, not sure yet....

With this setup on race gas, 350 whp will be easy.

I'm also having issues with the AEM not firing on cylinder 4 correctly. I'm in the process of troubleshooting that right now. Hopefully I should have the issue solved very soon. I am certain now that this was the cause of the last motor to blow...

that's a g*ddamn work of art. my car wants to be like yours when it grows up.

 
Rep Power: 0

mang thats a great set up!!

 
Rep Power: 293

Hell yeah andy is the man........ I hope to be 350 whp soon also but **** the way **** is going i won't be done until 2010.

 
Rep Power: 350

Well I solved my issues with the AEM. Ran some bigger, stronger grounds and it seemed to clean up the #4 cylinder issue.

I retuned and I can't get over the 255 whp mark yet. The stock head sucks and doesn't seem to want to flow anymore. Coupled with exhaust restriction and lack of fuel, I need to do some more work. The car is running flawlessly right now and is alot of fun to drive.

I really can't wait to break 300 but until I get a new exhaust, cam, valvetrain upgrade, return line and fpr, I'm pretty well stuck where I am at but I am still working on everything.

Meanwhile, here are some new pics for your viewing pleasure:
