are you going to break the engine in on the dyno or just boost the hell out of it?

 

niiice... how do you like gas prices these days?

 

It'll get heat cycled a few times then 30+ psi never hurt anyone....

 

i swear i can sit and listen to ernie's car heat the tires up all day! The turbo back feeding sounds so good!

 

How do you heat cycle a engine?

 

Pretty much just like it sounds start up and let warm to temp shut it off till cool and repeat, this will break in the bearings and give everything a chance to settle in! The number or cycles probley is debatable.

 

Surly there isn’t to many people doing that. Can that rally run the engine in or is it just a race thing or something?

 

they have been doing this for years, even in piston world. Its a old trick

 

Its the way i did mine i didnt have time to break it in becouse i was traveling to the tunners. I belive if its clearenced correctley theres no problems. After tunning i went home and had maybe 200 mile on it and the third run at the track was a 10.87 and its been smooth sailing for over a year.
And how would you put big miles on a race motor thats running 45psi plus so i think its in the build how much the break in is.

 

I like the sound of this, i give it a go

 

Soo.... whats the mpg like?

 

MPG??? This car only drives a 1/4 mile at a time! Its gone farther on the dyno then it has on the street

 

22mpg, then about 38mph on hybrid mode.

 

Is that downhill with a tail wind!

 

so how is it coming along?

 

what made you switch ecu?

 

I pick it up tomarrow with the new motor and turbo. Then in a couple weeks my G-Force will be here. Hopefully before Summerslam at E-Town.

 

come on ernie do your best to be at summer slam at e-town. i need to see how that new rear end set up hold up. and i hope you hit the 9sec soon.

 

Update:
Picked my car up last night. Brand new motor and turbo with th NRS one piece 3mm seals. Dyno numbers in two weeks. Gonna put some miles on it first. I also put my new hood on.

 

Why'd you change the hood Ernie? Good luck at E-Town. You should try getting that IRS record on the stock FD trans though.

 

Hey Justin,
I needed a vented hood and ain't no way the stock tranny will hold up. Im tired of changing them out. With the G-Force its one and done!

 

Hey Ernie , is the new turbo a GT45R ??

 

like the new look! Glad to see it back together. Where do you get the headlight with the "hole" in it....been trying to find it...

 

No, same turbo, just freshened up. The headlight kit is from FDNewbie.

 

dammm ernie, looks like a "real" street car ............. very nice n clean setup !!!!!
will join u soon w/ a REAL tranny good luck
