Hey Chris,

My phone does not have text capabilities. My fd has a Pettit street port motor with 99 spec twins and a cooling mist progressive water injection set-up that I'm looking to get tuned to 15 - 16 psi on 91 octane. It has all the usual bolt ons, smic, intake, exhaust, metallic cat, etc... Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Hey Chris, I doubt you'd want me to text you all of this so hopefully get this before my tune.

Here are the important mods I think would need to know

Looking to go for around 15-16psi on pump gas (91 oct). Engine will have around 900+ miles on the new motor properly broken in. The car has a base map that is NOT tuned for boost and the car has never been in boost since rebuild.

 

Alright guys the time is here. I hope you have had time, ( well you've had plenty of that ) to get your cars ready. Anyone else looking to tune we should have time the end of sunday for 1 maybe 2 more cars. Thanks for all your patience in getting this together I know it has taken forever. See you all there this weekend.

For those who have not signed up and are interested in a tune here are the prices.

Dyno will have to be paid at the shop rate which is 90/hour usually takes 2 for basic tune 3+ for more involved. So anywhere from $180+
Here are the two basic tunes Steve offers

Stock turbos...$400 up to 15lbs
Aftermarket turbos...$450 up to 16lbs

Also anyone interested in a full Carbon ADGT widebody body kit, ask me about it Ill give a special price to my bay area locals.

Chris

 

To pay the dyno rental, do we have to bring cash or can we charge it

 

Your already paid I work out a discounted price for those who sign up.

Chris

 

fml...... my master cylinder push rod on my clutch pedal broke. what the chance of that breaking?
trying to get it fix tonight or tomorrow. see ya on sunday...

 

Oh awesome! I didn't know that the dyno cost was included in the price! Woooo!

10EGV plugs were installed, all couplings were tightened down, got my oil change, replaced the fuel filter...the car is ready to go for sunday!

 

Today was the day the infamous Steve Kan flew in to tune the car. It's been a long 1 year building this car but it all payed off today.

There were a few hiccups during the session such as the boost and water injection not working correctly, so I got a conservative tune on just the wastegate spring (13-15psi). I didn't want to try to push the motor without the proper safety precautions. Once I get the water injection and boost controller fixed, I will set another tune with Steve.

Just some quick pictures I snapped, along with the dyno video. Finished with a safe 345rwhp/270rwtq. I was expecting ~400 with water injection, but again since the system wasn't running, I am playing it safe.

Until then, this power is plenty enough for me to have fun with. Big thanks to Steve, Chris (twomucboost4u) and all the guys at Tech3 for all of their time and effort to get this together and run smoothly.

hey HardHitter, congrats on the tune. nice meeting you yesterday. I love your setup. may be something I should think about doing in future. SMIC sucks big time without water injection.

 

Well I think this weekend was a success, ran into a few problems here and there, but we managed to troubleshoot and move forward. I hope everyone enjoys their tune and cars. It was a long weekend with plenty of fuel and head aches. lol I think things are getting a bit better around the bay area so hopefully we don't have such a headache getting Steve out here again. So until next time, thanks for making it a great weekend full of 7's. Even though I haven't owened one in over a year now I still miss them and always look forward to seeing everyones cars and pretending I still remember what I am doing.

Chris

P.S Feel free to start a new interest list. Maybe we can get Steve out here right before summer hits so everyone has their cars to drive in the sun.
