Hello everyone,

Some of you have been following my build thread here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/al...r-map-ef4.html

Well, I decided to get a nice map switching tune done by TSCOMPUSA as I only wanted the best to go with Megatron as he has all of the bells and whistles. Here is the current parts list:







I live in southern Arizona and quickly found out the posted 91-octane we have here is closer to 87-89 octane. The initial results on 91-octane were as follows:





Well, I could not wait until I was on empty to make the switch to E85. At the moment that I filled up, I still had at least a quarter tank of 91-octane remaining. This is just the first pull on E85 and the temperature at the time was 105-degrees all on a single Walbro 255lph fuel pump.

I am beyond thrilled with the results right now. My next step is to purchase a double pumper as well as the MAP Rev3 intake manifold (replacing my current MAP Rev2 intake manifold).

Here are the initial E85 results. 32PSI falling to 27-28PSI.

 

Tom was showing me this just a little earlier. Very sweet man. She's gotta be a blast!

 

You are 100% correct, my friend. I am beyond glad at the results thus far. Here is a little conversation script between my wife and I during the first pull a few days ago:


Wife: When did you shift?
Me: I did not shift?
Wife: What?
Me: Nope. I let off the gas at the point when I would shift. What did you think?
Wife: It is scary!
Me: At least you held on to the laptop.
Wife: I did not have a choice as it was the only thing that I could hold and I am surprised that I did not break it.
Me: So did you like it?
Wife: Yes! But you just wanted to show off about how fast your car is. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster going out of control down a hill. That was scary.

 

Congrats Levar! Great looking numbers there. Once again Tom does his magic, a truly great tuner.

 

Hahah I love the conversation! Good stuff man! I'll be posting up soon on mine! Will be done here in the next few weeks 2.4 FTW

 

Thanks, my friend. I really appreciate it.

 

Very nice! So this is basically running the same tune from pump 91 except higher boost?

 

And try not to scare the wife too much BTW, you still need her help on future FASTER pulls

 

Looks really good! Congrats!

 

Seems pretty laggy for a 2.4 with that Turbo.

 

No, sir. You cannot do that due to the chemical structure of each fuel. The pump/gas tune is about 24PSI on 87-octane. The E85 tune is about 32PSI.

She will get used to it. Even if she tells me to behave, I will make sure that she gets at least one sprint every single time she is in Megatron. I long for the day when she takes control and does it herself.

Thanks, my friend.

Aaron, I beg to differ. You have to be in the car to see that there is no lag whatsoever in my opinion. From a slight roll, first gear is gone and second is nearly as "invisible". The car is just a blast no matter what gear I am in.

 

The things we do to impress women,even the ones were married too.lol.Congrats man, bet you the car rips with that power band.I use to love big turbos but now that i'm back to a stock frame turbo,I think I would never go back.Nothing feels better then a fast street response setup.Enjoy your new power with safety.

 

Nice numbers, man. Very similar to my setup. I get the same out of control rollercoaster comment from any passengers I get in the car. Get that double pump setup in there and make some more power! I'd also recommend going to s3's since you have a big displacement stroker.

Nice job, Tom.

 

I cant wait to see this thing in action. I feel like im a boy amungst men here lately with all these local guys here in AZ going to build motors. Everything from 2.0LR all the way to 2.4L and im still stock block with a 101k walkin a fine line. I guessing if hadnt bought 3 Evos in the last 6 years I may have been able to do a big build LOL.

 

I am aware of the difference in fuel requirements. I wasn't sure if this was a baseline pull after dumping some E85 in the tank with a few modifications to scaling and WGDC tables while retaining the previous fuel/timing maps or your tuner sent you a base template prior to this run... Either way, congrats and will stay tuned for more!
