^^^^ He chickened out. LMAO. I guess I will go see my high school friend and give him a ride. There will be 2 people giggling in the car at the same time.

I'll let you know when I'm headed your way lol

Rusty, do you get looks when people see your rear tire size? I think nothing of it. It's like I am immune to it.

When they come up behind me. I see them looking in my mirrors. When they pass. I see the head turn to get a better look. The wide rim lip helps.

Jon at MA said it is the first thing people see when they come to their shop. I just think nothing of it now days. When Eddie came and picked up his hood it was the first thing his friend noticed. LOL I guess after you see it for so long it just doesn't register.

Blue ranger

Yeap, he has got himself some skinnies up front.

Only one thing left to do, brake ducts. After this the car is finished.

Looking at some old emails from the start of the build. I have stuck to the build Daelen and I decided on a while ago. I did add a few things and changed very few. The items I changed were the Turbo's and that is it (From FI stage 2 to FI stage 2.5). I did add the Nismo spl subframe bushings, Trackspec vents, CSF Radiator, Finite Element design brake ducts, Diff cooler install, Bellworks diff brace, and DSS pro level axles. I did have to upgrade to a triple ATS Carbon clutch to hold the TQ. I did a good job of staying the coarse on the build as far as builds go. LOL I am so ready to get behind the wheel.

The most difficult part of being mid build (at least for myself) is chasing "while I'm in there" squirrels. You did a damned good job staying on track

It is very difficult. I missed one goal of making 800hp at the wheel at 18psi of boost. It took 21psi of boost. I have a restriction somewhere that would need to be addressed to fix it. That is a squirrel that I didn't chase. Overall, I meet my goals of what I set out to do. Not bad for the first swing at it.

:tup:

Congrats on everything, but shouldn't you be using this:
I've always been under the assumption that 4th gear pulls for tuning/dyno are the quote unqoute "closest" results for comparison.

Probably so, Not too worried about it. It's just a number at the end of the day. I am sure it will be plenty fast enough. It's very hard to say how other people report on their dyno numbers. We were transparent so everyone could see both. I am still happy with the 780hp in 4th.

This is one of my pet peeves...why is it necessary to compare all things when there is no way to do so in a statistically valid way. Spooler posted both 4th gear and 5th gear data points and if you have a clue you can make whatever conclusion you want. I get tired of people trying to ruin others experience because they used a dyno that reads high or low, or questioning the validity of data unless it is obvious it can't be true.

We talk wheel horsepower and much of the automotive world talks braek or crank horsepower. So his little old 780whp is about 900 break horsepower. That number puts him and other in hyper car range. I like that comparison the best!

lmao.......

Anybody that knows anything about a turbo car, the more load you put on the engine the more boost you will make. That is why it is very difficult to get a good comparison on any turbo car or truck on a chassis dyno. If you have a clutch slipping, if you have traction issues, this all can effect the load on the motor which means less boost. Some folks can make more boost on the street or drag strip. So to put this all together, my car had a bigger load on it in 5th gear, it made boost sooner (by looking at the Tq graph), and it made more hp because of it. It still made 825hp at the wheel. That is 949 hp at the crank.

I am happy with my puny 280whp in 4th, and here we got nickel and dime splitting hair at the 800+ range haha.

Cheers to the finished build! I just wanna see videos of this thing!!!!!

LMAO, stupid fast is still stupid fast. At this power level it is all about "Can you get traction".....

Yes, once you hit fourth gear. :rofl2:

I was hooking up in 3rd due to the R888r's and 325/30/19 tire size. There was some spinning but it was very controllable and smooth.

Nah, it's going to be how far can you spin the tires in 6th?:eek:

I am sure Brian didn't try that. LMAO.

I make about 87whp in my Buick, it’s a v-6 also 3.1 liter. Made more for torque

:iagree: For sure, you could very well just go when it is cooler or less humid during the fall or spring and easily get it.

Well I'm glad I was able to touch your pet peeve! :excited:

I have never tried to ruin his experience, I have been cheering during the whole build. :tup:

Like I said above, I'm sure if he does a recheck in the fall/spring it'd be there or could be there with minor adjustments.

And if you want to get into theory - If you are to use the dyno graphs as a tool and show multiple 4th gear pulls and one 5th gear pull how is that comparable?

Again, I'm not knocking anything that he's accomplished. I am in aww of how great things came out after the struggle. It gives me hope! :bowdown:

All builds this big are a struggle. Just takes painstakingly long. Nothing you can do but hold on for the ride. That is why you see so many people sell them after it is done. They are exhausted. I can feel it but I am not selling. LMAO....

The other issues with a big build is you don't have a magic formula on what works and what lives. There are a few guys up in this area but very few that actually drive them regularly. Some share info and some don't. I am happy with the outcome. If I decide to go further, I will need to work on the restrictions and a better intake manifold. At the moment I just don't see the need.

Cjm billet manifold solves all your issues.

Nothing to sweat about at all,
Probably would have made it with a better grade ethanol :tup:
Nearly 1000bhp is just crazy...:eek:

I have seen it and you have to do too many modifications for a street car at my power level. Many things have to be moved.

Charles just posted on Instagram about the manifold. Must modify the engine harness, custom fabricated cooling pipes and reservoir, custom fabricated oil dipstick and tube. CJ Motorsports intercooler will be needed with exits on the top tank, custom intercooler pipes, and modify the radiator brace. It's is a big task to make it fit. The custom work will not be cheap. I do really like it though.

Yeah we had long discussion about it. Not worth the time and effort unless you’re trying to break in Justin’s power level.

AT 21psi of boost, I need one. LOL I need something and I don't like the GTR intake conversion or the AAM Intake. I have the same size turbo's as Justin they are just Zonarotor turbo's.

Have to see send your logs to Seb and see what he can improve on. Justin’s car was untouched besides the exhaust, manifolds and turbo kit. Soho has a manifold. Ported stock helps a lot.

He is too busy. I can't ask him for such as he is slammed with work. It's not fair to his regular customers. I think the tune is spot on for what I wanted.

It does look appealing; you’ll know Performance when you see the Dyno graph :tup:
Sometimes it’s hard to beat the oe design :ugh2:

We shall see that soon on Justin's car. He has been waiting on a clutch. Sound Familiar? LOL

I pray my FX850 holds, but the way the trend is going as the builds start finishing.. :crying:

Also there's a guy named Damon (https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw9qXBAHtVi/), who has a car which is a built FI Stage 2 TT 875whp. He got the AAM Intake Manifold and actually lost ~ 40whp and 20wtq so they switched back to the stock waffle.

With the way the R35 manifold falls off a cliff at the top and AAM also losing power.. Seems CJM is only way to go, has anyone ever seen a SOHO result?

One car had the SOHO manifold. It was at 875hp or something MB Nismo. I am fine in the 800hp range I am in. It is a good bit of work to fit the CJ Motorsports intake. We shall see what Justins's car does with it. There is not much difference between 17psi of boost at 716hp to 21psi of boost at 780hp (4th gear). I choose to work on the restriction to decrease boost and increase HP if I go any further.
