Well my next adventure is already starting. My next move is I wanna try to use my acd and add traction control to help keep me safe. Anyone with a bad acd pump who wants to get rid of it please let me know being mine is cracked and completely useless. But with that said traction control. My car being an RS doesn't have abs sensors so I will be ussing that space to set that up along with a driveshaft sensor and be able to control it with the Haltech. With this being done I may upgrade to a Nexus unit being it has way more features in it I can use etc. This isn't going to be an over nite thing, but maybe over the winter or maybe next year. Hope you guys enjoy the video of 40 psi and over 1000 whp lol.

 

Damn that thing RIPS!! Holy ****. Definitely want to see some street/track vids now.

 

Lol I can't wait till I can drive it. There is still some work to do. He wants to try to make the same power with less tq I asked him to keep the tq about 700ish if possible being thats about the max of the clutch. There is a little more room in the turbo, but idk about how much more fuel I have being I am almost out of injector. Well technically I am out of injector at 92% duty cycle. I know I made a few runs that were in the 1100s with a little less tq but still. The car still needs a pump gas tune as well but I don't really care about that. I just need that for like winter and if it gets colder out.

 

What tires do you run?

 

Making some jam!!!!

 

17x9 245/45 Bridgstone Potenza re71r's

 

I will say today I had a chance to drive the car while my tuner just took some longs in second gear. HOLY ****!!!!! I have the Haltech dial where I can have 12 positions to make whatever power I want. ! was damn good at 700 wheel, 2 was like 750, 3 was somewhere around 8, 4,5, are same levels just different boost levels roughly, 6 was over 1050 and I about pissed myself, 7 is somewhere around 1100 and I did not know this but he said with some tweeks 8 is full kill and he said it was close to 1200 on the dyno.1180 or 90 something like that he said. I made a second gear pull and hit 40 lbs and i felt the front end get really light and i honestly paniced. I was like dude lol. I finally got the nerve to do a 3rd gear pull on kill and I made it to about 42 lbs before I felt uncomfortable with the front end drifting. Car is going to need better coilovers for sure.

Needless to say this car will be on setting 1 or 2 for a while till I can get use to the power. I have been in plenty of fast cars and this one by far takes the cake. The guy who owns the shop his best friend had the awd record on the dyno and I shattered it by nearly 300 hp lol. The guy was all butthurt cause he is on a fp zero lol.

 

Your thread's have been a great read and huge motivation for me to get my car done ASAP. I have been doing everything myself which has been great self-therapy after a few bouts of depression leaving me with no motivation the past 2 years and a job layoff/cross country move. I realized I really like wiring which has been a big deal and its very much like engine assembly. Looking forward to more updates.

 

Hey Brother @nightowl1985 , be great to see you post up more often & even make a thread in the Projects forum of all you are doing?

Cheers, Joe

 

Well thanks man, this has not been an easy project for me at all. I have had a bunch of hard times fall on me and shops taking advantage of the situations and all that so it's been tough.

I'm glad you have enjoyed all I have put up here for everyone to see. I feel honored I have given you motivation (lord knows I don't have any anymore) to get stuff done and to keep moving forward.

I am glad you have found that you enjoy wiring being thats not for everyone. All it takes is one simple thing to get you going and next thing you know your out of a funk and doing something you enjoy.

 

Well I pick up the car tomorrow from the tuner. I am going to say I am excited and yet terrified lol. Car will stay in the 1 position for a while. I got really use to the feel of the car when it made like 600 whp and at wg pressure at 700 wheel it feels pretty damn good. Comfortable i guess is the word I am looking for. All in all I'm excited

 

Well it has been about a week since I picked up the car. I have been playing with the knob and the hp levels and I am sad to say its ****ing snowing out grrrr. I do have some bad news though, I think I have 2 busted or non working dampners on the car now. I went over a small bump the other day and it sounded like the front dampner bottomed out. I don't have access to my garage anymore being my Camaro is now in there and doesn't move at the moment. Another thing I need to do is brakes. With everything going on right now I am going to be unable to get a new set of rings for the car. I don't have a spare 2k laying around lol. So with that said for now I'll just Autozone them till I can catch up on some bills and give me enough room to get new rotor rings and pads.

 

Well I wanted to do a small update. I have decided to get a new set of Ohlins R&Ts for the car. The car freaking rips, it is a little laggy with the turbo and all but I was told he tuned it that way to keep the wheels from breaking free. He has it spooling later which does help but holy **** once you break 5k you need a diaper. With that said, with the bad shocks that I have on the car it just wants to drift left to right after it feels like the front end is coming up enough to make it feel unsafe. I need to do the rest of the bushings in the rear end too. I am going to get the Buschur mustache bar and rear dif supports. I just want a well rounded car and be done with it and move on to the stealth lol.

 

LOL. Looking fwd to updated pics of this sleeper look. Wonder if its going to look like Abacus's sequential shifted sleeper Evo?

 

Thats kinda hard for me to do right now Joe being its dark when I leave work. Hell its dark when I leave for work at 5am and its dark by 4:30 before I leave work. If I take the evo to the gfs this weekend I will see what I can do.
