The car sounds like the gates of hell just opened. Legit its insane. I don't think I've gone past 50% throttle and 4psi (I get to drive this thing around and datalog while Cody's stuck at work) and it's already quick, and that's on pegged full rich fuel maps when in boost. Once the fuel maps get sorted and we start messing with vvt and vvel it will be an absolute blast.

what are you tuning it with?

Update for you guys. Traction will be more of an issue then I thought. The only car I can compare this too, driving wise, is a C6 corvette ZR1. A ZR1 wants to bury you, that's it's goal in life, in second you gently roll the throttle and think "Oh I'll have some more" All of sudden you're 50-75% throttle, in boost and sideways. This Z is exactly like that. We've been working the tuning out and slowly getting more and more psi. Today I was on a straight road, squeeze the throttle gently, thought "Let's go a bit faster" all of a sudden I'm sideways at 6000RPM and counter steering. No idea what psi I hit, couldn't look at the gauges.

You will either be hooked or in a hospital

I did forget to tell him to turn TC off as it isn't scaled yet and it is extremely dangerous as I have heard from other boosted members...

But yeah. I took a half day today at work. so 12 CANNOT come fast enough.

bro.. LOL I could have told you that! lol same **** happened to me at first...
I actually have to be really careful on base when driving the NISMO... because I will spin the tires and the cops on base realllllly frown on that

MyKindaGuise · 07-26-2013, 10:04 AM

Also folks keep in mind...we have made any VVEL VVT or timing adjustments...John will most likely be coming down to Harrisburg to do that on a dyno.

Vinyled the car today. Spur of the moment. Turned out nice. Also did racing stripes.

Chuck33079 · 07-26-2013, 06:56 PM

Very impressive. What are you planning to do as far as keeping the heat away from everything?

Thank you

As far as heat goes I will be wrapping all the manifolds and getting some aero space foil on the intercooler piping. Were working on some air ducting plans right now as well. Also new mishimoto radiator is in the plans as well.

And Paul you have a text.
