I set up a tuning date with Defined Autoworks for June 29th. If I haven't resolved the issues then I'm just going to part it out. If it does tune, I'm probably going to drive it for a bit then part it out. I lost all motivation after spending hundreds of hours working on it and then having issues on the dyno. I really feel like taking what I've learned from this and starting on a fresh new project this fall. I've been wanting to build a twin rear-mounted turbo LS1 2nd gen Miata for quite some time now, so maybe that will be it. Go big or go home, right?
If anyone wants any parts from this project, let me know, they will probably be up for sale mid-July. Also, if anyone has a nice 1996+ Yamaha Superjet I'd love to do some trading.

Needless to say, outstanding build. This is truly engineering design...being an ME myself it is a pleasure to see. Regardless of the outcome you've gained the respect of many people and I'm sure something like this could greatly help your chances on working for a motorsports team if that's something you ever desired. Incredible work

Well, this tuning session went much better than the last. Put down 520 at 13psi, then turned it up to 18 psi and put down 588 but the stock ignition was starting to take a crap. It really needs a different ECU with a beefy ignition and about 1000 more RPM.
I'm now parting it out if anyone wants anything. See thread below:

Great build I love the throttle bodies I didnt really get them till i saw them done, sucks to see you part out your hard work but i guess you can always make them again... any ideas on another build? or are you out till a good job is lined up? ... good luck with sale thou

I Know this is old and a might get trashed for bumping it up but this build was just incredible. I wish i could TIG aluminum like that. Just finished reading it from start to finished and I'm very sad banana at the outcome. good luck with your future projects
