I am holding 9 without any major tuning that I have done.... No other engine mods besides a MS cat back, still adding more, I just started. |
Have you hit the dyno yet? If so what are you putting down?
|
No not yet. Other 8's I've seen with similar set ups were around 280-300, I don't think it's too much less than that...
|
Did you dyno before by chance?
Paul. |
Unfortunatly not... Other people say the stock 8 has 180rwhp? *shrug*
|
Looks nice. Thanks for being a test mule for us future modders. :-)
|
whoa, sleeper....
|
major "sleeper"
|
VERY unsuspecting.
|
coming next week to the dyno/show meet in PA?.....bring it!!
|
I say paint the intercooler black and re-circulate the bov and you'll have the OEM appearance completed.

Love it... no exterior mods! perfect.
|
Where at in PA? Hopefully it's on a Sunday lol.
No, the next mods are: Midpipe, Pulleys, New plugs/wires, then by then I should need a new clutch. I'm not really doing anything else to the outside.... |

I would not just go out and get a can of black spray paint. But I would research the topic and find out more information. |

Gotta work Chrism...
I'm going to try to get a video tonight heading to work, I don't know how good it will be considering I have to hold the camera and shift at the same time, but it will be better than nothing. |

Can't wait to see some vids Acclaim99. :cool: |
Ok I got a few... not the greatest, and it was kinda hard to keep FT, watch RPMs, and shift....
I'll post them when I get home after work (around 3pm est) |
it keeps saying video being optimized.
well, here are the links anway, i tried, one time i had to shift with the hand holding the camera.. oh well. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/a...43010e1aa5.htm http://videos.streetfire.net/video/6...43010d5d64.htm http://videos.streetfire.net/video/8...43010ff8e0.htm |

:cool: Then he needs to update the pic in his sig! :D hehe :rock: |
It's there, it says interceptor x ems before the exhaust!
|
Are you shifting early in the RPM range on purpose? or is that a limitation caused by the turbo setup..

Profec is the boost controller Int-X EMS (engine management system) Sounds like your resolution is set too high on your monitor dmp. jk I thought the same thing when I saw EMS ...e-Management System... |

turbo doesnt limit anything, just was too busy watching the road n stuff.... |
Well atleast with the early shifting you could see how the engine still had power too push through 3rd and 4th like nothing at less than optimized shift speeds (( example: in vid 2 I believe it shows how his car pulls from 60 to over 80 in 4th at better speeds than a stock 8 would pull from the same speed in 3rd)) nice setup =)
