Buschur Racing's first 2.4 L engine build, results inside.
The initial results are finally in.
Here is the build:
2005 EVO8
BR 2.4 liter engine, 9.5:1 compression, billet crank, billet steel rods, forged pistons
Standard head with springs/retainers and just combustion chambers fitted to 2.4
Kelford 272 cams
MAP ported and coated exhaust manifold
FP RED
MAP ported intake manifold
BR 65 mm throttle body
BR 3" turbo back
BR Race FMIC
Stock ECU using Tephra 7
93 octane of some sort
BR manual boost controller
The car, I believe has some poor fuel in it as it is very knock prone and at the end of the dyno session today I dumped a few gallons of race gas in it to see what would happen to the knock counts, they dropped to zero. I am out of time today so Monday we will drain the fuel out and put in some fresh Shell 93 and put it back on the dyno.
The car was tuned, as you will see on the sheet, with a peak boost of 25.2 psi. The car makes 25.2 psi with the FP Red at 4000 rpm and also makes 444 ft lbs of torque at 4000 rpm. Power is excellent but with a better timing map in the car I am sure that even at this boost level the HP and Torque figures will both climb considerably.
I'm happy with the build, even at this level and even if there are no improvements from changing fuel and re-tuning.

The manifolds were already on it before I dropped it off.
We will see what more comes out from the better gas. Either way - this curve AS IS is good for what.. 11.2-11.4 or so.. if I can drive haha.
=)
I asked David which he wanted to use - I had both his and the GM 3-port on hand.
