And she's done:

 

Now this is a build thread...

Awesome 8 man.

 

looking awesome Wondering how any air will get to the rad though ...

 

He will figure that out later

Baby steps

Can't wait for the fueling problem too

 

hey now guys.. i've had my fair (some might say more than) share of problems already.

and living in wa i haven't had any temp issues to date on street or track.

fueling, yes... turns out that fuel contributes to fire..

 

Someone had to pull your chain a bit...this thread was way too quiet

Get back to work

 

lol. i wish i could man. easy's pulling the uim tomorrow to hunt around a bit and makes sure all is well. then i'm getting on a plane to tokyo for work so no more progress until next week i'm afraid. waiting on parts again and getting a dyno day scheduled.

see anything else i missed yet?

 

Can't wait to see the dyno results!

 

Looks like I'm buying you Dick's

 

me too!

oh yeah?

 

I see temps 210*+ in stop/go traffic and or when driving slowly up hill. I have hit 220* a couple of times which always makes me a bit nervous. We really need air flow in the engine bay and a way to vent the heat.

 

The Dick's Challenge my friend. Glad I didn't agree to pinks.

 

^ lol

 

i guess we'll see. there are some more ideas we could look at.

 

looks really good, any idea on the dyno day?

I really enjoy my almost flat intercooler setup
95degrees out, never seen anything above 195.

 

I get 213 stock. I will look to see if I get any hotter in the next few days when the outside temps get warmer.

 

shooting for the 4th. just trying to get the facility locked in.

 

So far the only times I have run into high temps is slow moving traffic combined with going uphill. I have not done any serious back road drives or track days since adding the turbo. However knowing I do not have enough cooling mods keeps me from getting on the track.

 

I have hit my temps in traffic and on track. Just thought I would post my temps as a base since I'm stock. Don't know if that helps.

I got my temps using the phone app "Torque" with a BT OBDII sensor.

 

lol. i think you need to get out there and try to see what happens. are you up for the PIR/ORP days in late Aug???

Yeah that helps too. I'll test mine next time I'm out there.

In other news we're looking pretty good for Aug 4th if anyone had interest in a dyno day.

 

Dan and I are playing with my tune. I will be there, but not sure about getting on the rollers yet, so make me last if you get a group. I'm booked after the 11th on until the end of the month, so this looks good on the 4th of Aug.

Beers man on the build(s)

 

awesome man. sounds good. i'll get a thread up in the nw section once it's confirmed. I have an email into a place in Kent to finalize the details and get it booked.
