That's why I'm switching cars, I'm getting one of those new ones...the eclipses!

I'm having more problems, but it's summer vacation now, so I have time to work on them, I expect to break 350 this summer. The turbo and manifold are going back on today I hope.

You're seriously getting a DSM?

dangerously_cool · 06-19-2004, 08:32 PM

Nope. I was hinting that the 3g is...well...a bit of a letdown, just a joke. Turns out my stage 2 is going to be here in a week, and then if it runs well, I'll get it tuned, to, say, the tune of 18psi

. The 2g's though...www.agpturbo.com. the end.

12 psi = 242 whp
15.4 psi = 302 whp
18 psi =

hahaha. Yeah.. the 3g's blow. The 4g's should be alright tho. I love SRT4s - stick with it.

Speaking of sticking with it, I just got my new S2, so I put it on, was too impatient for pictures, and I'm runnig 17 ish psi right now...it feels fast. The external wastegate dump tube hits the firewall still, so tomorrow I'm going to an exhaust shop to see if they'll bend the damn thing. Soon I might have a dyno, the week after the 4th is tuning time.
The most recent engine shots I have are these two:

Note broken intake (mount by filter is broken off) I need a new one really soon. It is no longer held on the turbo inlet by duct tape, however.

this is one helll of a job youve had going here. glad to see your still sticking with it, and posting.

So far as I can feel, I've driven the car a bit, and the dump tube stopped banging. It was cut and rewelded at a different angle, and then heated and bent with a pry bar. Hope it worked, if so, I could see a dyno soon.

good car..well tunned

dangerously_cool · 07-28-2004, 07:56 AM

Thanks. More tuning is coming, I hope. The turbo is big enough to outlast the internals, so 400whp isn't out of the question...just takes time.

nice car bro!

hey are you actually in walnut creek? I live in SF but my roommate lives in WC and im always there.

dangerously_cool · 07-29-2004, 04:22 AM

I'm in martinez, but WC is where the police tend to like my car least.

IgotWRXed · 07-29-2004, 05:00 AM

well walnut creek PD tends to dislike window tint and j-walking. you should come hang out in SF, the cops could give two shit cent about your car

That's true, I saw two rexes chasing a 360 Modena a while back.
New numbers from last week! At 112 Degrees F (about 42-44 C), and 17 Psi the car made 315 WHP. Here's the graph.

gis · 08-15-2004, 05:41 PM

once again as i said months ago,nice and now 315hp,i sure wish i had this car at 17

dangerously_cool · 08-22-2004, 11:52 PM

New dyno, I hope to post the graph soon. 340 Whp, 320 wtq @ 20 psi on 91 octane. I put a 60mm throttle body on, and replaced two of the three motor mounts today. One to go. If the dump tube still hits, I'll have to try and bend it again...
