well a little update. I still have the car and its getting retuned this week by REESE Tuning. only changes were a 3 port boost solenoid vs the MBC I had.

 

keep up the good work.. there's room for more

 

Good luck with the retune! Make sure and post results

 

355hp and 380tq. only mod changed was the gm 3 port solenoid.

 

^^^ torque came up nicely... at what boost? still on 91 gas? do you have the graph to post up?


Your torque numbers are now proving that you have a 2.3L under the hood


Is a meth kit totally out of the question for you?

My Green starting waking up at like 25+psi... I spike 28psi daily on pump 93 with 75%/25% meth/water and drop to like 24 at redline (was tuned for spike of 29.5psi, but scared to run this daily, due to weather fluctuations possibly causing knock)

I will say this: ever since I started running meth, I beat on the car less than when it was on pump gas, because I always have it in the back of my mind that the meth kit may malfunction and blow the engine.

 

it was on the 91 oct. 24psi

I'm trying to sell the car.

meth is probably out of the question because I to would worry about the meth kit failing.

I dont have the graph but I will see if the tuner can send it to me

 

lol!!! whatre you doing with a 2.3 on a green?

theres several things that make me want to push meth... there are quite a few good failsafe kits out there... im thinking of using Tephra's patch that ll swap your ECU map to a a safer non meth map once it recognizes that the meth kit has failed

 

What are you looking at buying?

 

Are you running a test pipe or hfc? the only reason I ask is that my first dyno was very dissapointing at 286hp, should have been more like 350 according to my tuner. Once things were looked at, my HFC was a melted brick and my exhaust mani had a grand canyon sided crack in it-- I put a test pipe in and a new mani and she is a different car. You probably checked already, but just in case. good luck

 

i looking at buying a beater. im running a test pipe. there is no problems with my car. the stock intake box and maybe my stock piping is robbing some power but I like the stock looking engine bay. Im in cali
