I*ts still fighting, Longest labor pains i ever saw. mick the magician is working through the bugs one by one.

Couldnt get it to rev past 4500 initially. Brand new plugs were cracked, one completely broke when we pulled it out.

Fixed that. got it running, dosed it to 5000 rpm and it went spastic, 30 lb of boost and mass power. WTF. Seems some clown hooked up the wastegate incorrectly. I think the cat did it. Fixed that and started real time tuning. almost there with the run in tune. Had to turn it off because of the noise curfew. Still way rich, no timing, low boost at 6900 rpm making 296 hp atw.

Gonna finish the run in tune tomorrow morning. gotta love micks final shot before the night. "f**k this thing is gonna make some fat when we start power tuning" hmmmmm, Aint that what we built it for. :laughing-smiley-014:

whats low boost noel? fk me 30lb boost, wheelspin tyre smoke and flamage out the back end?? haha make sure you post that chart up noel or atleast shane n e way.

[r33_racer]

awesome....woot woooooo

[FineLine]

Low boost will be 18 lb for daily and 25 lb for hipo Adam. thats what it was built for and it will do it all day long unless i am mistaken. It has all the gear to do it and do it safely.

The engine has a good feel to it. I think its a winner. I am going to predict somewhere around the 375/380 rwkw on hi boost.
