Anything else? I'm not bull****ting anyone here. I know dyno numbers don't really mean **** other than a way to measure changes. In fact, I'll post up the camparo runs from my highest stock turbo dyno run with this one to show the changes.

 

 

With so much power this car should trap 130+ mph easily. Are you guys hitting the track any time soon?

 

Matt, the only thing I have doubts about is the boost.

Congrats on the numbers man, and way to man up and show the CF. Even if its more boost then it shows, that car should be a mid 130mph car!!

Exactly, cars making big power at such low boost....

 

LOL at the Description on the dyno sheet.

 

I don't know what to tell you guys. Keep in mind, I have a lot of stuff to optimize airflow: a 2.3ltr block, 4" unrestricted intake, 2.5" IC piping, 75mm TB, SMIM, Buschur stage 3 ported head, full buschur turboback exhaust. Perhaps my setup just allows for a higher airflow at lower pressures. When I get it back on the dyno, I can take pictures of my ZT-2 display, Labonte display, the dyno display and I'll even post the evoscan logs off the JDM 3bar MAP sensor. I'm not trying to con anyone, I have absolutely no reason to.

 

95ft lbs far exceeds the specs on ARP standard headstuds.

 

You're right Scott, which is why I refused to do what Dave suggested and had the o-rings removed. Every time I installed the head, I torqued to 85 ftlbs, per ARP sepcs when using motor oil for the lubricant. An additional 10 lbs would not have helped the headgasket seal any better and would have possibly led to stud failure. As for the torque wrench being out of cal, after Dave said the wrench was probably off calibration, I took it to the cal lab at the Navy base I work on and had them check the cal specs. It was within .05% @ 150ft lbs. At this point, I'm just glad the car is running correctly and doing better than I expected, despite the naysayers and nutswingers.

 

I thought o-rings were supposed to be like .006in. .020 seems like a lot. Sick numbers though.

 

From the research I did, the general consensus is the o-rings should protrude no more than 25% of the total gasket thickness:

If I use a 1.2mm (.047") head gasket, then recommended o-ring protrusion should be no more than .012"

 

Wow these are very impressive #'s! with 525 uncorrected on a DD my car runs around 136-138 mph in the quarter mile at 3400 lbs. If you do that with 22psi.. you have found the best combo to date for the evo! your gonna have a line out the door..

Good luck with the car

 

Glad your car is treating you right. The green didn't last long

Are you using the new speed density patch?

 

I never even ran it with the green, lol. A deal too good to pass up came along for the FS635 kit, so I decided to go with it.

I'm still using the speed density patch that Bez wrote for me back in the summer of 2007. I tried briefly to convert to John's s/d patch, but the car wouldn't stay running with it, so I switched back.
