Redfox340 Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 So you've got your boosted DOHC working too? That's awesome!!! I just scaned over you website [ http://www.brian89gp.com/ ] and the pics are out-standing. How's it handling? Any tuning problems? Don't keep us in the dark, it look great! Nice job! - Erik Quote
brian89gp Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 I'm having technical difficulties with the tuning at the moment, and because of that I havn't really driven it hard. It is definately a different car, it will pull up hills accelerating all the way in 4th with the torque converter locked when before it would downshift into 3rd. Turbo spools at around 2k and depending on the load it is in boost by 3k. Quote
LukeZ34 Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 I want a ride in that car next saturday.. lol :shock: 8) Quote
brian89gp Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 And i want a ride in yours . Anyway right now the wastegate is opening at 1-2psi so nothing real exciting there, but if I unhook it it hits 5psi at 3.4k with 45% throttle (and 14* knock, eek), but since its unregulated I'm not going to push it further. As I said its nothing really spectacular right now due to the tuning, but your welcome to a dissapointing, low throttle, low speed, low boost ride. Quote
LukeZ34 Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Hey, no big deal if it's not screaming fast yet, I just want to say I've seen and ridden in a turbocharged DOHC powered W-Body, lol. I've got this next week to work out a few issues with the TGP to get it running better. But you and anyone else are welcome to a ride in the car.. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Wow, that's cool! I don't remember seeing you mention you got it up and running. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it on Saturday! Quote
