Mikey's FP Black *** WOW ***
#47
very impressive!
Looks like I'm going to think about a dumped O2 and a new set of cams! making the same power as my combo at 12psi less boost is just insane!
Congrats Mikey, this is an absolutely kick-*** combination! trust me, I know all about "the grin"
Once again, it looks like the ER team exceeded expectations!

Nice numbers and completely believable, it's not really even shocking. I just made a post somewhere about having a combination of parts making over 500whp on our dyno and if it were running stock cams/small cams you could just do a cam swap and get 100 whp.
Good work.
Good work.

I wouldn't call the HKS cams crappy. They just don't breathe enough for a 2.4 with a decent sized turbo, and as Mike has shown, they leave A LOT on the table when the engine could be moving so much more air.

Here is what the final numbers were for the night. We stopped at 36psi because the car was not making dick for power. It became really apparent that the stock non-ported turbine housing was beginning to choke right around 30-32psi. We started running into big backpressure problems and EGTs. We decided to stop and revisit the dyno with the new housing than push the car any harder with the backpressure we were dealing with. It just would not have been worth it. The car still has a lot left in it and the final and last dyno queen numbers will come out shortly.
The other thing, at 36psi I'm only holding 27psi out the top. That is another problem that we are going to be fixing over the next week. The flapper will be coming out of my new housing and 38mm MVS will be going on.
I think with the housing, that will fix the backpressure problems we are seeing and the external wastegate will help keep the boost from falling off so much up top.

Just posted the 36psi pull...
Indeed we did. Just a few more things to change before we really see what the Black will do. We are taking baby steps but getting closer to the 40psi pull
Funny, I was on my way to my hotel last night and rapped it out in 3rd and the car slides across the road spinning. I could handle keep it in the lane. I have not had the chance to do a 4th yet but I hope I get traction in 4th. I def need some bigger rims and tires. These 18x8 225s are worthless.
Thanks John. We were very happy with the car till we started to run into backpressure problems.
Couldn't have put it any better!
