I'll take one of my spare rims to the machine shop when I get a chance to see how much they can mill out to lower the offset.

The log isnt of the 480hp pull... but the duty is at like 98% peak but Elliot was saying he had not leaned out the tune yet. Idk what my fuel pressure is my base is 43 PSI but I dont have a data log of the fuel pressure.

Fuel pressure off your base should be 1:1 to your boost so 0 lbs boost = 43psi fuel and 20 lbs of boost would equate to 63psi fuel

Thanks, I have the same injector setup and have been considering if I should add some injectors or raise the fuel pressure because I don't think I will have enough fuel for the boost I want to run.

I'm working on it. Here is a snap shot from the datalog of the spool time from the 1st run( not as high peak boost). Made 22psi by 3400rpms, and 30psi by 4000rpms on a later run( boost controller hooked up wrong).

This is the sexiest build thread I think I've ever seen, bar none Those pics are pure car **** as well, something about the lines and rims and car just add up to that perfect match of beauty and performance. Nice work sir, mad props.

I'd love to see your car in person sometime - I'm about 45min North of the TC and will start making it down to meets and shows in the Turbo FB. Missed proving grounds this weekend due to not having my driveshaft made in time - I'll be going to the second weekend though.

You brought the car to Atlanta? I was wondering where that track was in Minnesota. It looks pretty cool. So they didn't have any problem with the lack of hood? Story on how the car did?

When I saw the picture of the guy in the passenger seat with the helmet on my first thought was; "How in the hell is he driving and on a laptop at the same time?" Then I realized it's LHD

MAP is what the pic post was titled as. It's called MAP Proving Grounds and is among the largest import events in MN. It was a multi-event weekend at Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, Minnesota spanning Friday night, all Saturday and Sunday. They have a road track, which these pics are on, drag strip, auto cross, and drift events as well.

Awesome pics guys, keep the Rotor **** coming

This was at MAP Proving Grounds and Brainerd international Raceway in Brainerd Minnesota. The car did great for the first shake down.. I was usually pushing around 27PSI and I went for 3 sessions. I do have some very minor things to fix..

1. get a better check valve for my fuel cell vent.
2. put a heat shield on the exhaust tip (melting my bumper)
3. figure out how to control my boost better
