Congradulations =)

That's one lucky kid, my dad doesn't even knew how a turbo works.

 

Congrats.. at least it explains why you've been so quiet..

 

Congrats Dad!

Make sure you spend all the time you can with them when they are young... you don't want to miss that.

 

Congrats to you and your family Ryan. I didn't even know you were married man.

Barry

 

what comp. ratio will you be running (nice and high i hope)?

 

congrats on the new born ryan!!! the car is progressing nicly also!!! my car is amazing they havent finished tunning it yet but im putting down 350whp with about 14 psi so far so look out i think some good numbers are gonna spool out = ) , and if anyone questions RnR's quality lets have ryan post some pics of my engine bay and show them what quality looks like = ) and as always thanks alot ryan!

 

What's up Bubbler. I just so happen to have some pics of your engine bay. Keep us updated on when you finally get all of the tuning done. Later.

 

That's one lucky *** kid . Congrats.

 

My 91 GSX ran 11.1@131 with the standard fully square 2 liter. No nitrous, 30psi, and working A/C.

I'm not sure if I'm much a believer on the 2.4liters, although people do seem to be making good tranny shattering torque on them.

 

Thanks guys I really appreciate the comments. I am so proud to be a father. I never thought it would be this great.

I am now back in the shop full-time so if you have any questions or anything just give me a call. I was out for a little while and we got a little backlogged with turbo kits and our new exhaust.



The 2.0 can make power. There is no doubt about it, but more displacemnt is never going to hurt. Basically with the bigger motor you can run a bigger turbo without the bad side effects of lag and so on. You can plan on 50hp and 100ft lbs extra with .4 more displacement.


We now have 430 miles on the motor and once we hit 500 we will do an oil change and start tuning the car. We plan on running 35psi eventually and reving the car to 9,000rpm. The compression in the motor is 9.1 Wiesco pistons.


I am also thinking about having Al do a flash and see how much power we can make on the stock ECU/flash. Then we will proabably do an AEM EMS. I want to see what the difference will be. We are also looking to replace the the stock MAF, but I am unsure who makes a replacement. Unless we just wire in an LS1 MAF and be done with it.


Malibujack, who did you get your MAF from?

 

what about running a map sensor? thats what i did = /

 

Running map sensor is definitely a possibility, but to do it and get rid of the MAF you will need the EMS, Autronic, etc.


I wanted to try to get a lot of power from the stock ECU first and then tune it with the EMS.

 

Ultimate Racing's Blowthrough MAF conversion.. I did some research on the products and UR's is the nicest setup by far... if you do go with a GM style, use the 3.5" sensor, ramchargers makes a 2G/3KGT translator for the 3" or 3.5" GM sensor.. The ramcharger one is not calibrated and can be a B**TCH to calibrate. I'm going to need a ported manifold and throttle body soon too with this new combo.. I'm putting the Sensor in the stock location, on a Buschur Intake Pipe.. I'll post a new thread with pics, details and other stuff later this week.

 

also, if you do research, historically speed density setups have been a little troublesome with daily driving.. early mustangs were frequently converted from speed density to mass air.. after doing quite a bit of research, I concluded that a better flowing hot-wire sensor was the better option for me.

 

Sounds good. I might just call them tommorrow to order one. It is basically calibrated for whatever size injectors you are running to get you in the ballpark. DSM's have this same thing which is a DSM translator/MAF. You can run 1000cc injectors and it idles perfect.


Also what did you pay for the MAF from UR? What size is it and can you run a blow-through style?
