Re: I never got my official intro!
AFASTYZFR1 and his buddy Patrick really did an incredible job getting this in for Tim.
After a rough start tuning this AM across town, I got down to where Tim's car was. The guys were just getting done with the very last touches. On top of the blower install, there was the intake swap and a significant amount of rewiring. The work was top notch.
Since the car had already been tuned in 1bar SD, the move to 2bar was really easy. The guys were so thorough that there was not one mechanical issue or thing to adjust or to have to stop to fix, nothing, uninterrupted tuning.
The 42lb Injectors are static at 5400 RPMs even with the meth CRANKED (2 #10 nozzles). From there we begin to drift north in AFR of the 11.2:1 that we are commanding. The combination of the 7.25" crank pulley and the 5.25" blower pulley netted us 8.5psi @ 6,000 RPMs with at 11.7:1 AFR. Since this is a relatively high compression engine (AFR 205s milled to 60cc and Cometics 0.040" compressed head gaskets bring the compression to over 11:1!), even with the meth, the timing is kept very conservative at 12-14deg. Up top where it starts to wander lean, the timing falls very low in case he touches that region spinning before his 60lb injectors get here this week. With the G5X3 on a 114LSA that is in the car, it didn't peak N/A until about 6,500. If that's the case here, after looking at the boost plotted on the VE, it looks like it should make right at 9psi at 6,500. This is a little more than we hoped for unfortunately, but a bottom end was already in the near future.
The car sounds AWESOME. Glad you got it back today Tim, happy birthday. Somebody get this man a TIRE!
