East Coast Gathering 2008: the official thread

[jedi3000gt]

we definitely nee to set up a fall ecg. Labor day weekend would be great!! by the way i did some mods to my turbo system to increase flow and cool down IAT readings and ran a 13.1 on street tires. running friday at capital raceway with Drag radials and a new intercooler and hope to run a 12.5et. mph is at 110mph

ok wtf i only ran a 13.03 @109mph with a 35 shot on top of turbo. i am losing power. the boost is there but i think the computer is pulling timing because the IAT at the MAF is reading 150 degrees. need intercooler badly. oh and i still used street tires. the 35 shot did nothing really. time to step up to a 50 or maybe a 75. the 35 shot did spool up the turbo faster. my goal is to run low 12s on a completelt stock engine and trans with only 5 psi boost and not going over a 50 shot

I thought you blew that trans up already?

Craig good to see you getting some sweet numbers on your car!! Do you have any threads detailing parts, tuning, advice, pictures and shit? I might consider this way in the future for he SL... turbo fwd can be nasty as a street car.

I just finished up one as well a little while ago for a customer. I'll link you the thread once I update it and get the pics up. We still have some minor issues to deal with but the preliminary numbers were 250whp at 5psi at a little less than 6000rpm with an auto trans.

Better traction would probably help you more than a 75 shot.

Was this the one at the BBQ?

^ you are post 666 on this thread!

[jedi3000gt]

ok well i found the problem. DUH it helps if the MAF is plugged in all the way. i thought it was the jet sizes causing the car to be rich. i just took it off the dyno. with 11.2 AFR i ran a 12.49 ET at 116mph. i still spun the tires on the rollers but i should run a 12.6-12.7 et on friday at the track

he really needs to get some headers and go straight pipe to the turbo and that should help. my first #'s were 273whp without intercooler. they are right now 298whp 253ft lbs trq. with a 35 shot
