The DC is is over %100. I am running my E98 blended down to e85 to keep the AFRS in the low 12s right now. I will be putting 1200s in it this week so I can get back on my E90mix. I Cant believe the single 255hp is still making it. The car is not dropping pressure yet but I am sure I will need the 2nd pump with the 1200s.

The car is falling to 22psi on the dyno right now. I am hopping with a upgraded WG and the AEM I can keep the spike down and run more boost out the top. Right now at the track if I crank the boost it will only fall 24pis but that setting on the street is a 30+psi spike which does not feel right at all.

On the street this thing is feels nasty. I love it. In the rain with just a roll in in 2nd it will always light up all 4 tires and the tach will sit at 8k till the car catches up.

The spacer was the same size as the stock gasket so it fit great.

Nice work Lucas-

I am glad you picked up a few ponies with the 65mm tb. The mid-range looks amazing.

What else was done to pick-up all that mid-range over the previous power curve with the oem tb?

I am speechless

This has been the setup I have been looking for a long time.

I am tired of trolling EVOM with finding conflicting info everywhere I go. This really tells you that you don't really need fancy parts to make a nice street car.

I mean seriously I don't care about gutting the crap out of my car or get turbo that will cost me an arm and a leg with lag and changing all kinds of others stuff. I mean seriously do all kind of fancy **** to your car and next thing you know you get beat by a car that produces more for less. Also e85 is cheaper I do know about everyone here but I am tired of going to some special gas station with my little jug and get race fuel that cost as much and gets the same result. Anyways enough with my whinning!

I am really impressed and lucas definately has my respect.

I am considering taking the drive from salt lake up to his shop for a similar setup

LUCAS you definately got my business.


Much respect!


Mikael

The prev run the ECU picked up some knock and it was gone by 5500rpm. I know the 65mm TB helped but my car at the moment is not the best test dummy. I had more gas in it also then before to keep the AFRS in check. Your TB leaned the car out .4 in the 6k range. So we will see with 1200s and the E90 back what it will do.

Also all of these pulls on the dyno were right of my street tune. The car has only made 5 pulls on the dyno with this combo.

You said you run low 12's for AFR's. You keep them in 12's till redline? No knock issues at all?

Well I like high 11s.

I have ran the car at a 13.0 on E85 all the way down the track on this motor and the stock motor with no problems but not something I think is a good idea.

When you say you are swapping to 1200 cc, is that when you go to aem management, or are you doing that with ecuflash?
