After replacing the motor due to sheer stupidity on my part, I got the new motor (another stock port) in the car.

The Stage 4 seems to react EXTREMELY well (and why shouldnt it), to good tuning. With AFRs in the high 10s to mid 11s, it spools wonderfully, with full boost coming at or around 4000. Pulls are nice and linear, and I havent even stretched the turbo's legs yet (only tuned to 10 PSI for now).

All in all, I say its a great product, and for those that are having problems.. TRY A WIDEBAND! It might solve your spooling problems.

 

How many times did I say that?

Glad to hear it's running good. I'm ready for my ride, maybe if I get over there this weekend.

So your boosting on a rebuild??? I thought that's No-No.

Or did you just do a few small runs to get some AFR's in place?

You bought a Wide band? Right on!

I haven't waste my money on a narrowband because of the crappy tuning ability. I was almost thinking of getting a wide band.

First I have to get the CF TII hood and a new exhaust though. My Cork sport IS LOUD!!!!!!!

 

woo woo can't wait

 

I think he put in a j-spec or similar. Don't think it was a fresh rebuild.

 

Its not a rebuild goofball. Its a used motor.

 

lol ok.

 

don't pop this one

 

Thats why I got a wideband!

 

how many hp you think you got with your current set up pushing 10 psi rat?

 

i went with the stage 2.... dynoed at 10psi already. gonna dyno at 13psi on sat night.

its time for bigger injectors... im using about all of my 680s.

dyno that beast j-rat... i wanna see some numbers. then again,..... dont. Ill just want to trade mine in for a bigger one.

 

How come you didnt port it before you swapped in the new motor? A nice little (or medium, or agressive) streetport would've been a nice addition to the setup

 

how much did you dyno w/ the stage 2

 

From some recent pictures you've posted, it looked like you were still using the stock intercooler? That's gotta be heatsoaking the second you stop the car, especially in that bakin hot Arizona sun.

 

before the turbo upgrade it did 187 at 11psi. with the stage 2 it did 235 at 10psi... it was 90 degrees that day. we put a thermo on the TMIC and it read over 200 degrees.

im putting in a fmic soon, but when i dyno at 13psi this saturday im gonna put a bag of ice on the TMIC.

 

i am going to do the DIY-WB. Bought the sensor today.

 

You guys dont miss a trick, do ya?

As a matter of fact, thats one of the reasons I stopped at 10PSI. A FMIC is on the way.

 

i was born in tucson... and yes it is hot there. didnt feel too bad tho on 115 degree days. it was dry... when its 90 here in NC its feels like death. sweat goes no where... too humid.

 

more humidity is better for a dyno run, isn't it?

so j-rat is the boost response better now than before?

 

No, humidity kills power.

Funny, I had no problem dialing in these turbos with just an EGT...

you've also got how much more experience?

 

Which EGT gauges do you use for tuning? I've been looking for ones that go higher than normal ones since rotaries run so hot, any input on which specific gauge you use? Thanks.

 

Almost any of the Japan ones run higher.
I've used HKS, GReddy, A'PEXi, and Defi.

What EGT temp do you tune for?

 

Uh-oh, you should know by now not to ask that question around ted.
