no the mods are ets 6262 unequal kit, bushur intake and filter kit, comp 272 cams, 3" turbo back with test pipe, ams upper intercooler pipe and intercooler, and 88 injectors. im gonna start by doing a leak test. i think the comp have been good to me so far but i think a more aggressive cam will help out in the long run also. i was really impressed with the kelfords and s2's when the cam test was done. im sure with 83,000 miles on the car some of the seals are going bad and i need to start looking there and move on. thanks for taking a look mellon at your other customers. i appreciate that.

 

no problem, keep us updated on the results of a proper boost leak test with an air compressor. If you've never done that you're likely to find all kinds of issues.

 

I have Comp 272's and I love them. I put down 292/277 on DTM's MD with a stock 8 turbo. I think they are pretty solid. I bought them from another customer who had just removed them from his MR. He put down 314awhp with them in his. Nice cams, I would have to agree with everyone else, your problem lies elseware.

 

Damn, you have a good memory. I miss my Comp Cams. Great cams. Revolvers @ idle + a cop behind me at a light = nervous!

 

HAHA, yeah your car cams extremely hard!

 

yeah ill give the comps that. the car holds great drivability. i have a boost leak tester just gotta borrow a compressor. ill keep you guys posted.

 

im not sure about the cams , but i would look at other problems first , boost leak , tune , plugs, bov mine was leaking

on my 6262 on 880's i made 435whp and 335tq on 22psi.. also this is on a ix with cosworth 272's ..I still need to do a boost leak test

 

I put down 690 with comp 272's on a 37r and i put down 640 on a 35r with them The cams seem fine for me .
The car even idles fine without an iac.

 

when the cams were installed i know the lifters were not bled. how much could this have possibly hurt?

 

im going to be doing a leak test tommorow night to check everything. i noticed a little **** around the exhaust manifld flange which looks like a i may be leaking there a little. i dont know if that alone can be the sole problem though.

 

an exhaust leak between the head and turbo can = power loss

 

mellon are you still on a stock exhaust manifold? i thought i read somewhere that they are only solid up to about 400 hp. if you are running a different one, which brand would you recomend?

 

I ran a ported stock manifold from buschur when I had the evogreen turbo but now I'm running the HTA86 kit which has a tubular header.

On a stock frame turbo like the green/red I recommend a ported stock manifold and upgrade the 02 housing also while you're there.

 

my bad i meant to say which manifold gasket where you running. i have the ets manifold on my turbo kit. i reused the stock gasket which really wasnt smart since it had alot of miles on it. i found a solid copper gasket thats rated for more hp on lancer shop so while im there im also gonna replace the studs. i think the brank was mr gasket that they sell.

 

to further clarify im running the ets kit with unequal length manifold on the 6262 turbo.
