Why?

 

Did you end up using an ef2 or fpgreen?

 

Hey hotshot1!! Glad you chimed in, I'm curious as too how your MAP long runners did for you. Because I have a MAP ported exhaust mani that is still in the box, and I was thinking of doing the long runner intake mani and ported throttle body.. Think that's too much? I just feel that I can pull more out the ef2.... Could be wrong..

Anyone have any more ideas as to how far we can push the ef2?? And hotshot, how is your clutches holding up under that sleeved beast??

 

Thanks omegis! I spoke with rich recently and he pointed out the thread about Sst release they have been working on. Not sure of a lot they are talking about in that thread, im still in the early stages of the tuning learning curve
Has anyone herd of putting an evo MR tcu on the RA?? Possible? And what are the advances that our guru's Bryan, rich, golden, are working on exactly with the sst?

 

my opinion only of course no harm intended. but...... with our car obviously torque is the enemy. so when u go any bigger than a green or equal turbo u wont ever get the full potential of the turbo. i think the goal for maximum potential with the car is to get to peak power as fast as possible and hold it through the power band. with most turbos bigger than that u will be getting laggier the bigger u go. so and u will have the max torque of about the same as the other turbos. and not to mention every tuner i've talked to reccomends nothing that big cuz i was thinking of something like that. just my 2 cents. and by all means if thats what u would like to do. do it. i would like to see how it works out

edit. i am no pro so i could be so off its not funny. just my opinion of the matter

 

I don't really know how much I gained from it since I did so many mods at one time. But it has beenDyno to make more power.

My clutches are holding fine now that we turned the boost down a little.

 

Ya your def wrong on the small turbo. You need a bigger turbo so it don't hit as fast causing your clutches to slip and usually big turbo's produce less torque

 

So what internals did you install? and why did you have to have your bottom end done? How much power were you pulling when your clutches started to slip.
I tend to slip my clutches in normal mode with half throttle, but I can smash in sport no problem.


Yup right about the bigger turbo.. BUT DAMN my EF2 can spool @2500, and I gauge the power by how hard my a$$ clinches the seat.. Full seat clinching by 3k

Im hitting the 300tq peak,, I know we can do better than that.. any suggestions for upping the torque a bit, and possibly hitting the 400hp mark?

 

300tq seems REALLY low for your mods, especially on a dynojet. Any particular reason its tuned for such low tq?

Because you could have gotten these numbers out of an Evo X turbo on a dynojet.

 

I know you posted ideas of what mods you wanted to do, but can you list out what you actually did, maybe I can help from there.

 

EF2 turbo,
stock x bov
ETS 3.5" ic & upper lower pipes
ETS hfc
ETS intake
Wide mouth dp,
AMS cat back
DW 850cc injectors

Stock fuel pump, BUT I do have walbro 255,, (awaiting install kit)

During the tune, we ran very lean untill they installed the 850 injectors.. Now Im about to install the walbro 255 when I get the install kit. How much of a tweek do I need after I install the pump?

Thanks

 

I don't know much about the ef2, but I do know the fuel pump will help alot, especially since you have bigger injectors. Your numbers should come up alot, and if you do get a re-tune, I would ask about your numbers, and tell them about other cars on the forum with similar mods, and their numbers, but regardless, very nice build!

 

Thanks Ralliaaron! I will be doing the pump this week. I just got done with installing my oil cooler this weekend! Which could have been a lot more inexpensive and easier than it turned out to be ( poor planning).

 

I was looking at your signature and was wondering why your numbers looked low?

 

Did you mean me or Ralliaaron?


Hey Spider21! This is OT but I noticed your sig, and you have the NFS bracket and Kore-3 calipers. Can you PM me or post here your complete set up for your brakes. Because I'm currently gathering everything I need to order. NFS said the brackets will be out again soon, and Im jumping on this asap.

Thanks.
