    challenger

    I'd run more, but my MAP sensor only has resolution to 3bar absolute.

    HYOOOJ dyno chart

    forgive me on these pulls, the turbo was wasted

    Shaft play sucks excuse the awful audioswap... nothing interesting going on in the original

    lots of smoke prior to dyno

    I'm pretty sure i still have the stock MAP on my car. Doesn't matter. 75% throttle = ALL THE FUEL.

    I'm running RS2 injectors... that's round about 37# each. nothing big.

    of course boost is nothing without flow, so you probably outflow the K24-7200 I have on mine (think K26 sized in a heavily modified K24 wrapper)

    lbs Confuse me... guess i've got 42# injectors, ECU will push them to.... 120% duty cycle or so.

    Factory tuning on this thing blows like Oklahoma during spring.

    But yes. Boost is nothing without flow. It's real fun trying to cram 20psi from a 23 year old stock Supra Turbo through an SOHC 12v head.

    37lbs is about 390cc I think

    "I never quite understood why I don't come here more often..."

    Well you obviously have deep seated emotional issues from being in the Vortex too long.

    Not to worry.....we'll bring you 'round.

    OH YEAH....WELCOME!!!

    E30 and a Miata, you have already qualified...welcome to the freakshow

  • chapel

    April 20, 2011 8:55 a.m. chapel New Reader

    No Miata E30 and Cherokee... and an A2 GTI... and a WRX... and a 75 Scirocco.... and an A1 GTI.

    But also a Saab 9-5 Aero, a 93 Pontiac Grand Am and an Audi S6....

    oh... and a 95 Eclipse GSX that I had for a week before I 'returned it' because the previous owner had drilled through the brake booster and clutch cylinder trying to put in an alarm/immobiliser.

    In reply to chapel:

    Just a "hi" from another ex-vortexer. Corrado/A2 GTI. Say, have you got an A2 right side front plastic flare stashed anywhere? The car's an 8v, but I need a 16 because I could still get them new last time I tore them off..

    ROFL! Well, I'm not gonna retract a welcome just for that. You're gonna like it here, there are some people with some serious fabrication skills. Just look at the EMod V12 MGB-GT, and if you've subscribed to the mag that long, you know about the Challenge.

    of course. I have NO fab skills whatsoever... don't know how to weld, not very good at cutting metal either. :(
