5 minute(s) of a 98 minute read

Finally had time to give this car some love. 

Hasn't had a full wash / clay / wax in over a year and a half, almost 2 years. Buddies (4x4rich89) 2012 STi in background

Finally got the keys!!! 

First project completed:

This took a lot more work than I anticipated. Probably 12 hours of preparation by myself and 4 hours for 2 guys painting.

I am going to paint everything white too eventually. Probably mid summer

Dyno day tomorrow.
600whp or bust hopefully not literally.

Like the 1st girl friend, this one is a Diva too. This is the first time I didn't listen to Junior Lol. He said drive it but its a long way to worry about getting my car back home if something goes wrong. 

Did some knock sensor stuff today and my car is really being quiet (knock noise levels under 325 at peak boost) today. Its loving the warm weather!

Get those damn axles done Allan, DSS is probably running out of material any the rate you're consuming

Just hopped on the dyno. Guy in front of me didn't have a rewired fuel pump for a 30R tune so he took a little longer to get fueling done. 

My prediction for the day 

Pump 470/390 @22psi

E85 584/514 @ 25.5psi

Based on guess no knowledge.

Final result was 605/505. Holds 500 for that flat line for .... ever!!! Can't wait to drive it

Thanks JR and the Rest of the P&L Crew!

Especially Tyler on the boost leak finding!!

Had an issue with vacuum lines popping off. That's a renovation for the near future

Nothing different from before, just did a couple driveability checks and they all worked out so ~470/370 were the final numbers that day... that was on 20.5-21 psi

Once Dylan does the processing to the Dyno sheet I'll post that, but for now, here is a VD Graph from this morning. 3rd gear goes quick. I probably will not drive it much until thursday, I cooked a WB on the dyno and I dont like beating on it w/o it. 

Did not take to redline because I'm not used to it not being 7000

Car --3260, full tank of E85.

Me --220

"stuff" - 30

Posting Dyno Graphs Here, and Making a PBB Thread that actually reflects the turbo in the name. I cannot edit it for some reason

Thanks Allan.

I just got back from a little cruise where I really got a chance to get on it. Did 3 pulls and it cooks.

"Only" came up as 550/440 on virtual but with the road I was on I'm not to concerned with the numbers. The curves still looked the same which is what matters to me.

From looking at my logs looks like 50-100 was 4.2 with a .5 second shift. I'll take it.

I pulled up the run time values, there was nothing ethanol related under fuel.
Under the calculated tab, I see ethanol % and ethanol temp. Cool... except for it says 132° C. This was just pulling up my map at work. Not real time.

As for the table, that could be and probably is the proper way to do it, but currently it isn't that way.

I wonder if the Siemens sensor is a little different than the continental? Its supposed to be the same functionality wise, but maybe its not. I changed the wiring over to the continental wiring last night, but it didn't change any content.

21 pound diet today + whatever dirt fell out!
