Surge will be dependent on the boost level being run. So far I experience zero surge until throttle is lifted, then there is slight surge at low rpm when the bov doesn't open.

The big boost is ...

What is interesting, is the timing is backed off a bit. When the car is on low lobes it feels great. Probably improved. The idle is more stable, believe it or not. It doesn't hunt for idle anymore,...

What is strange about these spots, they are tan in color. Not black. I wonder if they are some sort of deposit from the race fuel or something.

The 6 speed is sweet. The clutch feels nice and beefy. The transmission is shifting a lot smoother now. And the gearing rocks. 2nd still gets to 70mph+. 75mph at 3000rpm on freeway.

Last time I did it with new plugs I had like 1 spec on the insulator after running 15psi around 400whp. I took the timing down 1*. So I lost like 12-15whp. Needed 16psi to break 400whp after that.

Yea, these ran leaded fuel as well. I couldn't imagine having detonation on only 10psi of boost. I have heard that the spots can form from too high of jetting? I was running rich as a mother! 45psi...

So far, I have yet to time the car. but from what I can feel, the SR16 cams hit a little harder. This could be because of the timing being backed off, and also because the low-lobes are much larger...

I got the cams in, had to swap the harmonic balancer because the marks were off. They have been off for quite some time now. New one is on!

I put the 20v cams in. Everything went smooth. Started ...

The 6262 is a rather large turbine (compared to a similar garrett) but they have a lower trim typically. Either way, with the stock cams I think it is a perfect size. .63 should spool nicely.

I kicked mine between 4000-4500 also. With the SR16 cams I could switch the exhaust early at around 3500rpm to aid spool. It worked wonders.

Ok, so I went to have the car registered. I had the crank sensor fixed. Long story short, I had 3 codes. Knock sensor. O2 bank 1 sensor 2 circuit malfunction. and P1336 ignition or misfire. The CEL...

I WANT THAT! got some news for you guys. Will update in a couple hours!

I FIXED IT! TURNED OUT TO BE A CRANK POSITION SENSOR THAT HAD A CRACK IN IT!

So I am hooking up the last coupler and taking it to the station. Only code is a knock sensor code, but it doesn't trig...

How hard would it be to make a simulator to read spark trigger and make a crank signal out of it?

Oh, and my 20V cams came. :D

element's P10 rev to 8k with stock 2.0 cams and with the 60-1 it makes awesome power.

I had an appointment to get the car registered tomorrow, but I get a check engine light for two things... knoc...

Also, I may be picking up a new hood for my car. Carbon fiber VIS with a Evo scoop. $400 is cheap shipped right?

This is true. I have been thinking really hard about getting a GTX35r or an HTA3582r and running an ATP 1.06 T3 housing. But that is a lot of dough all at once.

Took the car out for a run. Feelin...

The 60-1 is an awesome turbo for the price. I like the stage 5 wheel though. It is laggy though, but for peak numbers it does very well.

I think I may just sell my GT3076r and put on the GTX. Who ...

I have thought about it. But the upgrade costs quite a bit. It would def give me extra headroom to meet my power goals. But having a small turbine wheel is still a concern of mine. The GTX3076r cou...

Here is my turbo map at 500hp. Says 28.5psi boost to make 500hp. Based on random calculations. Looks like turbo is maxxed out up here.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. My wife hates the holes in the hood, and the hood pins. But it has a pretty mean presence in person. It is too loud lol. But the wheels look awesome and the brake...

I need to do this smart. If I get a calum RT OBD2, then I can sell my JWT and I don't have to worry about emissions tests :)

It's come to that point that I am going to do it. But I am going to go ...

Perhaps I should wait for a calum OBD2 realtime to come available, and not pass it up. Next one that comes available let me know and I'll pick it up.

Jamie can make me a tune like he did for you V...

I wonder how big of a difference 8.5:1 has compared to 9:1 and 9.5:1 compression on the VVL. 9.5:1 on 10psi might make a little more power, but how much? perhaps 5% more power?

Also, Vadim has sho...
