wow...your only running a stage 3 cluthc? what brand and how is it holding up with that kinda power?

 

Clutch is holding up great, and it was an R&D unit built by Exedy, not sure if they ever even came out with it.

 

damn...i'm still debating on the stage 3 comp clutch or the stage 4...is your stage 3 solid or puck style?

 

Brian where are the videos.. give me a call i wanna take a ride.. 668-9478.. you know the area code..

 

Not sure what videos you guys are talking about, the only videos I have are the videos of the shake down runs(part throttle), and my pace laps from the time attack event. Other than those I don't have any other videos of the car "in action". I got the laptop hooked up to the Hydra the other day so I am still checking through all the settings and tweaking a few things. The weather here has been in the 90's with 60-70% humidity so I want to make sure the tune is good to go. I have done a few full throttle passes, and had a couple of impromptu races, but I am still for the most part checking things over, cleaning a few things up. I have spent way to much money to do something stupid at this point without really knowing my car.

 

Thats very smart of you.. I was the same way when I first installed my kit..

 

How's your daily driving tune and idle? Your afrs good? I saw your car in turbochargers and looks badass I didnt see whats under the hood though.. It would be nice to see some vids on that 500 hp beast..

 

Wazup guys,

Maybe Vinny was talking about a vid of me and you running together Brian.

I can't run right now myself for two reasons

1) Still moving into my new Town House.

2) Horrible leak in my radiator (Mishimoto Unit coming soon)

So, when I get my bugs worked out, and Brian gives it the green light, hopefully we can get a run on vid.

 

Daily driving tune is on 15psi, so its right around 380-400whp. The idle is perfect, and the AFR's are pretty good right around 13.9. At this point I am pretty happy, however I am debating on whether to detune it a little so I am not running the 1400cc injectors. I could see it if I was planning on running this as a drag car, but I really want to do the time attack and autox stuff. The thing to remember when you start wanting to making these kind of numbers is that, you have to address so many additional things, and that is where it gets expensive.

As I said before I am happy to finally have the tC back, and now I can decide where I want to take it. This was the first.....AND LAST time that I let anyone, or company work on my car, for those of you that know, or have went through some of the pain, this is not something I plan on ever going through again. 2 years of BS pushed my limits, and will not happen again. ANYWAY....now she is home, and I can start enjoying it!!

 

1400cc wow i'm having alil bit of a problem getting 1200cc to idle nice without being to rich... but it'll get there. Are you looking to get the BC cams to complete your block? I would really like to see a copy of your tune but i guess somethings should just be left alone...

 

Glad to see everything is good and the car is back. You hung in there way longer then I could of but I do have to say I lasted pretty long.lol

Congrats and hope to see in person some time.

 

i didnt know TEIN made flex coilovers for our cars.. i thought it was just basics and ssp.

 

Yup time attack I say would be nice for car making that power and true you need to consider a lot of things like the crazy cooling upgrades like what ptuning is doing.. oil cooler, fluid coolers, meth/water inj, race radiator, CAI, bigger IC.. On drag, dont need much cooling upgrades but traction will be a problem with fwd

 

I am not planning on doing the cams anytime soon, I know that the car would really benefit from them, and would probably gain another 30-50hp, but I want to dial in what I have first and then look at maybe making some changes. This is honestly the first time I have ever done so many things at once, usually I would change something then see how it worked, and then went from there. So really what I will do now is get a baseline with current setup, then adjust a few things and see how it reacts.

 

I have to say, this couldn't happen to a better guy. After reading all the threads and drama J3st3r's been through, it's good to see a happy ending.

500+whp tC's FTW!
