Did you address this with A-Spec and did they offer to make it right?

pwwatkins

Yes they did say they would fix it, but I think they wanted us to pay to ship it. We ended up just ordering one from summit racing, cuz it was going to set us back another week at least.

I am just waiting for Banzai to get done checking everything, and if everything seems to be working well, I am going to get to pick it up tonight. I am in muncie indiana, and it is import night at the dragstrip, so if I do get it back I will take it for some runs.

I gotta say, they do work pretty damn fast.

ah ****...u mean we get real world data like trap speeds and ets as oppose to all the bs dyno sheets that get posted on here!

wow, that was fast. and looking very nice. i'm about to tear into my car this weekend to do the install. hope it's not too much of a pain (have never done this before). wish me luck

we will have very similar setups.

pwwatkins

Cool, good luck.

Well, it doesn't look like I will be able to take it to the track tonight. I just talked to Chris at Banzai and he said they are having trouble with fuel pressure. They troubleshot it and decided it is pry something with the fuel pump (of course since I installed it). Anyway, if I do get it back tonight, I will have to do a street tune with chris for 2 to 4 hrs which puts me at 9 to 11 tonight + 1:45hr drive back.

????? Ahhh no. I never mentioned anyone needing to pay for anything. I offered two solutions. One was for them to ship it back for me to fix. The other was for me to ship what was needed there. Both of which wouldn't meet the time frame I was told. So that was that. I offered to cover the time spent to do it as well. Just making sure that is all cleared up

OK, that was why I said "I think". I couldn't remember

No problem, just don't want people thinking I wouldn't take care of it.

any news!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

i am really itching to get this kit but want some dyno numbers or better yet trap speeds on stock ports.

pwwatkins

It is all done except for some tuning. As soon as I get some numbers I will share them.

pwwatkins

Well, I finally have time to go in for tuning tomarrow. More posts to come.

pwwatkins

OK Went in to tune today and got there a little early, so I had a chance to check out a couple of other fd's and fc's there which is always fun. Took a ride in Stealth s5 i think is his name, he's got a 60-1 single TII. Anyway, back to my car. We went out to tune and did some low boost tuning at about 13 psi and everything was going really well. Then we went to some higher boost, around 17, and we got a few really good runs in. Then for some reason it started stumbling in a couple of spots, chris said it was ignition breakup. Sooo Widegtr, I would really like to get my hks twinpower. He said we just got those few good runs in on high boost cuz he just put new plugs in. The turbo seems like it spools really nice, and it is unbelievably smoothe. I am guessing that is chris' tuning. The idle is sounds so effortless, and just cruising around makes you feel like you are in a stock fd it's so smoothe. Power comes in strong at about 3500rpm and lasts up to 8000! After doing about thirty 55 to 110 mph pulls today, it was starting to feel a little slow, but I took it out a little bit ago and it's really fast again...haha Anyway, once I get my hks twinpower, I will get to see some more high boost.

Any plans to put the car on the dyno?

pwwatkins

Yeah, we talked briefly about it today. It is a good possibility in the near future. First I want to get it dialed in very nice on high boost. Then I will go dyno it once or twice just to get some numbers.
I just put some data into the fuel calc on rx7.com we had 66% duty cycle with 850s and 1600s which comes out to 488 fly wheel hp. which with a 17% drivetrain loss would be 405 horsepower.

StealthS5

I knew you would like it friend sorry to here about the ignition break up,are you planning to go with a msd? They start feeling slow after awhile but when you pull 3 cars on a vet it all comes back in to prespective lol.

*edit* hks twin power is a good unit



Take care

After having my car back for a few days, all I can say is WOW! Ok I guess I can say a little more. I don't have the twin power yet, so I dont have high boost, but low boost is still hella fun. It seems quite a bit faster than when I had the twins at 14 psi. The sound of the turbo spooling up is simply amazing. I just drove around for about 4 hours yesterday for no reason People keep revvin at me non stop, but they are always going the other way. I can't wait to stomp some people, but with my car feeling as fast as it does, I can see how a lot of you single guys won't waste your gas racing riced out tiburons etc.
Also, I am loving the gas prices right now. They are down about a dollar from mid summer.

How do you like the response?

pwwatkins

I don't have much to compare it to, but I don't have any problem with lag. The fun factor has really gone up though.

StealthS5

How's your traction ? Breaking loose into 3rd gear? Does it feel way faster then mine? lol mad ?s

Stealth

pwwatkins

I'm not sure how it compares, but I know a good way to find out

StealthS5

Hell yeah thats what im talkin bout lol. I will be at the banzai BBQ will find out then laterz..
