What's the problem with the fuel David? Does it not react to the inputs on the ECU? Or are the fuel pressure dropping? 650rwhp requiers alot of fuel. Ur running 6x1680cc injectors for this right?

To bad all these problems are comming up now. I know the feeling but i can't blame anyone else then myself. But thank god on my new engine im not going to have a turbo on it Just a 2.6 liter PP engine

If the fuel is hard to tune, then i would look at the ecu, cause that's how my Haltech was when i had that.

Haltech's quality has gone to pot the last few years so hopefully it's not an ECU problem. Having wires fried by the exhaust is not good! I wouldn't be too happy with whoever installed that wiring! Good luck.

Update

The car is now in Orlando with Jesus Padilla and Kilo Racing for diagnostics and for finishing. Steve Kan can post more should he like.

While at Jotech last week, the car made 640 WHP and 475 FT. LBS. of torque:



AFRs in the above run were never higher than 11.7 and were dialed down to a little above 11 for the remaining runs. Here is a video of one of the first dyno runs:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IYXtXRvfc4

This run had the car at 571 WHP.

Some pics of the car while at Jotech:

More pics

Loading up the car for the trip to Orlando:





While I waited on George to come back from Detroit, I had Jotech install LED lighting in my bumper and inside the car. Here is a shot of the LED lights in the 99 Spec lights.

Before:


After:


Note in the first pic the yellowness of the bulb and in the second, the whie brightness of the LED. Really looks good at night.

LED lights inside of the car. I had Jotech install LED lights in the map lights, and LED strips in the footwells and on the bottom of each doors so when the door is opened, the underside of the doors and the footwells light up:

Inside without LED lights:


Inside with LED lights in footwells and in under of the door:


Maplights:


Wish the pics looked better. The LEDs look OEM quality and light the car nicely.

Some random shots of other cars for you. A new Nissan GTR being worked on by Jotech:







Beautiful car that makes 500+ HP but not my cup of tea. Don't like the exterior looks.

A Ferrari being tuned at the shop. The car made 296 WHP and 430 ft. lbs. of torque. Thought it would do more than this? It's an autocross car so it's the torque that counts right?
