Well, my car is back! After getting rear ended by the pizza delivery guy, I got the car repaired and it looks pretty good Of course, While at the body shop it decided not to start, but that issue too was corrected and I hope I get it finally all sorted out. Here are a couple of pictures of the "after"....... Of course, I expect the insurance company will pay for loss of value since it's pretty obvious the car got hit and repaired specially if you look at the trunk floor

 

Another shot of the rear end.....

 

whos yellow evo?

 

Looks good and clean!

 

BTW: what tire are you runnin...that doesn't look like the stock Advans

 

THis is from the front. There was no body damage there and no repairs, but it does look good no? (Check out that huge Greddy FMIC)

 

That's Kevin's EVO. He was nice enough to drive me 70 miles to pick up my car Thanks Kevin!!

That's a picture of Kevin driving back to Atlanta after helping me pick up my car

 

Those are Conti Extreme all weather tires. Not very good for handling but great for the cold, wet winters here in the South.

I think my Rota Torque wheels are in and I suspect I'll get a set of Falken Azenis or Kumho MXs mounted on them..... Can't wait!!

 

Looks good dude! And that Greddy fmic is frickin HUGE!!!

 

Yeah, it's big and it makes a huge difference in how the boost holds rock steady all the way to red line

Here is another shot of the 2 EVOs (sorry Kevin, yours is behind mine... )

 

You can see how well the boost holds in these graphs. The red lines are a previous map (too rich, too high boost) the blue lines are at the lower boost, leaner AFs (more power too )

 

What other adjustments were made between the two dyno runs besides the intercooler? Any a/f, timing, or boost adjustments?

Your car looks sharp!

 

How did you not have any pressure loss with such a huge intercooler?

 

Actually, there are less pressure losses because the flow is much better ........ Actually, that is one of the great advantages of these ICs..... Remember though, not all big FMICs are created equal. Greddy makes extremely good, well designed products.....

 

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, all the above adjustments plus many more were done. Those two pulls were made with completely different maps. The first map ran extremely rich A/Fs with high boost and retarded timing.
The second map has completely different values for idle, part throttle and WOT conditions. There is no comparison between those maps.... BTW, the car is nowhere near it's potential yet..... I suspect with more tuning & dyno time we'll see over 300 hp with pump gas
