Whoa, what am I doing in this forum, it's a real chin scratcher.  We will just have to wait and see.  chanting from the background, boost,boost,boost,boost,boost,boost,boost.

 

If you post a post in a forum when no one is around does it make a sound.

Kicking it, that's a good idea.  I usually just swear at it until I passout, and when I wake up it's working.

Yeah I prefer kicking it, but it never works after that, maybe I should try swearing at it until I passout, maybe then it would work for me.:D

on his way where? Bryant where are you going?  I'd recommend a space suit if you go out there...could be hard to breathe otherwise.

Will Joe, I'm leaving Tommrow to go visit Turbo Tom.  I gave up on my all motor plans and am going tubo.  I hope you are planing on going to the Mt. Washington G2G so you can check it out.

Sounds good, my buddy Mike just finished up his Turbo (on a sedan, good man) he's got pretty much the fastest Focus in NE right now, he dyno'd at 204hp 214ft-lbs of torque at about 4250.  And he's still running pretty rich 9.4:1 A/F mix, he should be able to go about 12:1 A/F mix and get another 30hp or so.

Actually Joe - there is a sleeper out there....he's hiding and I'm not sure if he's been here yet.

It's a Green Sedan - beautiful Grabber Green I do believe.  It's clean and plain jane on the outside, but is sporting a heck of a whollop from the Super Charger under the hood.

I'd be interested in seeing these two bad boys go toe to toe. :cool:

Mike's is a pretty good sleeper, but once his A/F is fixed, I think it'd be pretty hard pressed to catch him...250 at the wheels, I can't remember what he said he ran in the 1/8th at oxford but it was quick...really quick.

Thats alot of power, I hope he is running more than 93 oct.  Also what is he running for tuning?  For 250 whp he must be running like 15psi of boost, if he is not using 108oct he will blow his motor.

As for me I'm 200whp and 210tq on 93oct.  I will getting a 3" exhaust which will give me between 10-15hp and tq.

Nope thats on 93 and 8PSI.  He has injectors, 70MM MAFS, and chip from Tom.  He's also got the FR intake manifold and FR stage 2 cams with FC cam gears.  He's still running a 2 1/4 exhaust right now.  I wouldn't believe it until I saw the dyno sheet, and then I couldn't really argue.  He just installed a Spec Stage 3 clutch (shoulda gotten the 2/3 hybrid) and now it hooks up and goes.  He won't run more than 250hp since that's about the max that the rods will handle.  But it's looking like he's going to have to turn the boost down when he gets the Air/Fuel finished.

Here is Mikes last dyno, he's running 8PSI (spiking 9) on 93.  As you can see his A/F mix is really rich.  When he gets that leaned out, and fixes his retarded exhaust (he's running 2 1/4 downpipe to stock cat to 2 1/4 flex and exhaust) pretty close to FFW he'll have 2 1/2 downpipe/cat eliminate to 3 flex and exhaust he should make pretty close to 250 with that if not more, from what I can calculate, with him running as rich as he is, he's going to gain 30 or more hp just by leaning it out.

Holy crap he doesn't make power until pretty late in the power band.  I wish my scanner was working and I'd post up my dyno sheet, my tq curve is pretty flat.

What turbo kit is he running?  Is it custom made to still be running a stock cat?
