What did she make?

[Pootis]

Ran into some issues. Trying again this Wednesday. I will report back

[Pootis]

Dynomite Dyno is an absolute heartbreaker but here is a good comparison of the 4.8 numbers vs 6.0 numbers. Really healthy curve and on a dynojet it would make 387/387 or more. Really happy with the results and the car absolutely rips. Dyno Pull linked below

That sounds quite nice!

hey... do you remember what RPM your boost threshold was with the M20 and HX35 what I mean by that is at what RPM did boost come up... Im running a T3 T04E now and the boost threshold is 3200rpm... very useable but have a holset HE351CW with a 9cm housing .. I think most of the HX35 were 12cm accept maybe one year automatic which had a 9cm ...was yours 12 or 9cm on the turbine housing??

that is a really nice build you have there BTW ... nice work..

It came on late close to 4k I had an HX35 with the 12cm housing. I've never seen one with a 9cm housing but it would definitely help spool times. Might die off on the upper end though

Ha no just a nickname I have had since I was a kid

over 300whp is insane...

we need a burnout video once those tires are ready to be replaced

[jstoll]

the car would show about 400whp on a dynojet...
I used do do tuning for a living ... different dyno brands show different numbers on the same setup...

I have a set of wheels and tires in the garage I have specifically kept for that just need a good photographer

Yeah the shop I had it tuned at has a mobile dyno and this dyno and he said if we strapped it on the mobile dyno it would be at least 50 more hp and tq than this one.

I need to take more photos when I am out and less just in my driveway.

Looks like you did the brakes the same way I was planning to. If you don't mind i'd like to pick your brain a bit on the changes you're making to the hydroboost setup since I'm in the process of getting mine ready and you have the same setup engine wise to me basically.

Yeah send me a pm

Couldn't pass up on the deal I got for a set of Borbet Type A's this weekend. I'm going to refinish them and get a new set of tires on them. The OZ Vega's aren't going anywhere though just want a different set to change the car up every once and a while. These came with flat caps as well

[Pootis]

Haven't driven the car in a while winter has really set in in KC but got it out last weekend to air it out and take a pic with the new daily. I am ready for Spring. I also keep going back and forth on whether I am going to tackle the rust issues myself or not.
