thx guys! I will post up compression #'s as well as the progress and tuning. I hope to have everything sorted out within the next couple of weeks and then put her up on the dyno for some #'s

 

1450cc inj.....woof! holy canoli.

that hella spray. nice pics

 

I am doing a similar Build to my evo 9 w/ Buschur Racing 2.0 Longblock w/ Groden aluminum rods and Buschur spec Pistons etc...also doing SHepard Transmission and tcase...are you upgrading your drivetrain as well ? What Clutch kit ??? Why not AEM Ems ?

 

I just returned my South Bend single disc clutch as I've now decided on going with a Spec twin...just gotta decide which trim/version to go with. I had an AEM EMS initially in the car, but sold it as I was seeing how much power people were making with the stock ecu. Passing inspection is a "plus" as well even though there are ways around that. My tranny, TC, axles, etc...will remain stock unless I run into problems along the line

 

great build, i would like to know how the drivetrain holds up to the power and abuse.

 

update....I'm currently breaking in the Spec SS trim twin disc clutch on wg boost (14psi) and should be tuning on 93 and E85 within the next week or two. Car is running very well otherwise!

 

im probably going to run 25psi on straight 93oct and 35psi on E85....timing will be conservative and "safe"

 

where are you finding E85 on LI?

 

citgo on sunrise in Sayville, Citgo on 109 in babylon, and Sunoco on Broadway in Massepequa

 

I smell 600+ whp in your future, I have a similar build underway. The HTA makes great power on E85, I was pushing 520whp at 27psi on stock internals. The turbo makes ~20-25 hp per psi increase. Imagine what another 10 psi will do for the power

 

This is no longer a drop-in setup. I decided to pull the balance shafts, check clearance, and balance the rotating assembly etc... I just got off DG motors dyno dynamics dyno yesterday and made a "safe and conservative" 565whp @ 33psi on E85. Motor was broken in as well as the clutch. Makes peak whp right around 8000rpms and the power is simply amazing all the way to 8500rpms...With almost no "fine" tuning we had a very driveable car and I'm happy with the power. We could've pushed her to over 600whp with no problems, but I'm not about #'s as much as driveability and power under the curve etc..

 

It looks to me like a very high 130 mph car! Congrats! You should hit the track mate and let the beast show what it can do!

 

may not be possible now as my machine shop built motor might be eating through a bearing as we found some metal in the oil filter and pan so hopefully know more later on today...I'm pissed!

 

sick build, get some numbers!!

 

thats not good. hope you get everything fixed and get to hit the track so you can share them numbers with us.
