yes sharkbite...lol...i will see how i can get hold of c16 gas..i might have that run in the car at all times since this is my weekend Exotic worrior..i already have friends and relatives with exotic cars lined up wanted to run me..hahah

btw..about a year ++ ago i use to look at your signature and your posts and drool and wonder when i was gonna get to your stage...lol..i think i am not too far behind now ha? hahahah

thanks people!

 

i wish...i hope!!!!!!!!!!

thanks buddy..

i have one advise for people with stockish evos who think one day they will go all out...
i would say just save up your money and do it once and for all when you have your funds ready
i have taken the other route and looking back at it..i think i would have saved alot of cash...dont get me wrong...i enjoyed every mile of the maxed out stock turbo..the car was fast, reliable and hauls azz!! but not enough for me hunger for more speed

 

Im trying to get my car to the 9 sec mark I'm on a mission

 

I'm in the Caribbean.. the fuel is **** down here, but I still can run as much as 2.2 bar on pump if I want. As for other Evo's down here, I honestly don't believe they have been tuned all that well, and so run conservative boost on pump.

In terms of timing numbers.. trust me it will never help you to know what timing anyone else is running because so many things effect that... cams, compression ratio, fuel, back pressure, etc.... just make sure you get a tuner who knows what he is doing. No tuner will ever care how much timing another car is running, if he knows what he is doing.

 

Dang bro, I know what you mean about torque, but me being able to rev 10,000 RPM's made my eyes open wide!!!

I know what you mean about maxing out the stock turbo, I'm pushing 434 ft lb of torque at 4,000 RPM's on a 16G and it's nuts. I'm going to see with a built 2.0 how much more can I hurt it before I go to GT series turbo .

I'm also on the quest for 9's.. Even if it's 9.9999999 I'll be happy with that as long as I don't have to do any major weight reduction, or utilize special fuel that isn't 93 oct. and meth, but we'll see

 

Sharkbite2000, do you have a standard AMS 2.3 or their RR version of the 2.3? Just wondering....

 

dude...we are like in the exactly same boat...i made 436ftlb of torque and its nute..tires break loose in first gear all the time. sometimes in second

so no one answered me...does anyone know what the compression ratio is on buschurs 2.3L

thanks

 

I know on my 2.0 they said it was 9:1, so I'm guessing it's the same on a 2.3 or maybe not.. IDK

 

wow...9:1...thats high compression!!

 

Just 2.3 not the RR version , I would probably stay on 2.0 if I did it again.

 

why would you say such a thing?

 

Because I think I could get more power and higher rev gives me a little bit more top speed in every gear.

 

i see...i also kinda forgot you are running the famous "shine at high revs" 37R

how is your car running now...what did it run on the track?

 

Don't have it back yet almost another 2 weeks I think and she is ready, Like I said im on a mission for the 9's

 

i hope you achieve your goals!!

my tuner (banana) from singapore and several experienced people on this boards are advising me to go with buschurs 2.0 for more reliability and better/higher revs
