Need a Driver in San Diego
ok heres the deal, i need someone who knows from expericne how a stock S5 TII should drive.
this past summer i replaced the stock motor in my car with an S5 TII motor and manual trans. the engine was rebuilt with new cermat housings, all internal seals (including oil control rings and side seals), the manifolds were gasket matched, the injectors cleaned and flowed. the turbo was sent out and inspected, the afm, pressure sensor, ecu, wiring etc were all changed over to s5 TII components. a FCD was installed as well as a 2.5" down pipe and mid pipe, high flow cat and mufflers. both the o2 sensor and boost control solenoid are new, it has a used walboro 255 fuel pump. it is using a spec clutch and a 9.5lb flywheel. the stock vert 4.10:1 gear ratio was retained, rear tire size of 225/50r15. it had 1000 miles of no-boost 4k rpm redline, followed by 2000 miles of half boost 6k redline and for the last 1500 miles or so has been full boost and 7k redline. it passed smog in november with cleaner numbers than my brothers stock mk1 mr2.
as a whole tha car runs well and drives strong, however i have no idea how close to ideal it is running and performing. i have no experience with TII vehicles in good condition, so i need some one with the correct perspective to tell me if it is right or not.
so anyone in san diego that has experience with TII's and knows the difference between a car running like it was suppose to run versus running half-assed, i would love to have an educated opinion on the current state of mine. i am looking to sell in the near future but want to make sure it is operating correctly before then. please PM me for contact info and to see about setitng up a time to do this. thanks.
