Stop teasing us and give us a video of your car

I bet she's a blast even at 12 psi.

So far so good .. 12 PSI of boost at the moment..

Almost forgot Erick ( Rotary Werks) welded some support to help with the heavy BW turbo..

Cool, I've heard good reviews about the Vipec ECU


I went with a Adaptronic for my GSL-SE.

Went to county line race track last night .. What a itch to make a pass but I am not there yet with this car..

I just wanted to do some AFR logs with street load, but the track was full of cars for test and tune.. Maybe next week on Friday.. I know I am to rich on top...

I am going to hold back on the install of the V88 and the extra injectors until after the Churrasco meet on November 2..

Hopefully I will post number on Wednesday 10/30 on low boost 12-15 psi... I am curious what she is making as she sits right now ... I don't have tires under the car for more power...

Good news to report from the dyno..

We make 358 whp @ only 12psi WG spring pressure...
Top number for today 382 whp @ 14.7 psi..

Stock wheel and tires don't like this power level...

I will like to thanks Eric at Rotary Werks for the tune and attention to detail in this built..

Here are the pics....

What was the reason for moving from the Microtech to the Vi-PEC unit? I've accumulated all my parts (knock on wood) for my TII swap and have a Microtech LT8 unit for the EMS. I know it's a bit outdated but they've been solid in their performance so far from all the research I've done (plus I picked it up with full harness for a steal of a deal!)

Simple: in my opinion the Microtech is a good and simple ECU... But at the same time lacks features and outputs needed for a street car.... It left me wanting a lot more...

I went with a Vi-pec to get a better idle control specially with the air-conditioning on, flex fuel ( I am running E85), closed loop tuning, fail safe ( fuel pressure, double fuel pump) and a better system to log EGT, AFR, fuel press, oil press and knock ..

The Microtech is very limited....

Don't get me wrong, my car drive's and feel good with the Microtech but I am ready to take my car to the next level and I don't feel comfortable doing it with the Microtech..

I hope this answer your question..

I think the 0.7 on the bov ......

Time to bring this back from the dead..

Part order and should be here this weekend ...
AEM ignition smart coils
AEM 5 bar map sensor
GM Air temp sensor
GM Flexfuel sensor
New OEM style Radiator


Hopefully Erick from Rotary Werks can get my car in next week and do the Vi-pec install..

Last Wednesday we did some minor fixes to the car to leave everything ready for the Vi-Pec install..

Will update with pics soon...

I also change my BOV spring from the 0.7 to 11 psi and the car feels totally different in a good way.. i should have done this a long time ago... My engine pulls good vacuum in idle and I think it was leaving my BOV open...

It is a good yet expensive problem to have. I ended up going WB because of traction issues and having a hard time keeping the pointy end going forward when accelerating through curves. With the extra tire it is much more planted and fishtailing has been eliminated (unless I'm going it on purpose).
