Wholy $$hit Marc! It didn't look like anyone even challenged you! I can't imagine that coupe when you're running 18-20 lbs boost!!

Nice work man!

Thanks!

What the video DOESN'T show are the cars/drivers that WERE faster than me in my run group. That includes a GT3, a VERY fast E46 M3, and a turbocharged fox body mustang.....

Your car was awesome in person Marc! The sound was insane, and it was nice to see the car on the track. :-)

Update: received my Mann crankcase ventilation system in the mail today. Initial impression is that it is a very well made product. Right now I've got it configured in "open" mode as I didn't have time to fabricate a "t" fitting into the passenger side turbo inlet pipe but I will eventually hook it up that way to aid the fume draw-through. Here's some :pics:

aaand installed:

almost looks like its supposed to be there

finally got around to adding some decals to the side windows as well:

show your track knowledge: name em' from left to right!

Hank

after shipping and everything it came to $150. not bad at all, you basically pay that for a decent baffled catch can setup. I bought mine off ebay but there are stores that sell them online as well. Search for 'provent' and 'mann'.

Good job on all but the last one. I'll give you a hint: its a fairly new track, located in Canada.

Mosport is second from right...

Edit: Mt. Tremblant, I bet.

yeah, I don't know that one, unless I cheat and look it up or something...

Sam, Mosport and Mt.tremblant are already there..

Which means you, Peter, are still missing one.

I know - I said I don't know what that one is.

SEStone · Post by **SEStone** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 7:12 pm

Bah. I call shenanigan's on Peter's use of an abbreviated 'Mt. Tremblant', and a stealth edit of 'Mosport'. I swear! :-D

Just got back from the dyno. I only did about 3 pulls with my car as it was obvious I had created a boost leak for myself in the process of tweaking the passenger side intercooler for better bumper fitment the night before :roll:

I was able to hold a solid 15psi at the track a few days ago but even basically slamming the wastegates completely shut I only managed about 13psi. I dont have the dyno chart handy nor the exact numbers as their printer was broken but I recall something in the 360 ft/lbs torque range (uncorrected) at the wheels. Not bad for 13psi

Like the terminator said: "I'll be back"

...and i would guess the turbos are not efficient at a leaky 13 psi with wastegate shut. should be interesting with them making 13+ in their sweet spot for flow. 8)
