Spec-Ops Tuned- Justins Evo VIII with IX turbo E85 & ER SD Programming
#17
Adding preload like this has to be monitored carefully... the car was creeping really bad the first few pulls because we preloaded it a bit much, backed the turnbuckle off only 1/2 a turn and hit the sweet spot. So it is kinda trial and error. I did remove some threads off the IX WGA to get a tad more preload as well...

Justin is a Spec-Ops sponsored car and is a regular member in the local car show scene. He had had enough of the big turbo blues and decided to swap back to a IX turbo and put the car on E85. Thanks again to ER for there very unique SD programming! Car was swapped from a 6162 on 93oct and he is happier than ever for switching back!

That is some very impressive tuning, you guy's certainly have things dialed in. Goad_white03 has chosen his parts well & the dyno charts reflect that. It's great to a bunch of soldiers who were into Evo's in a big way, start a business. I hope the troops are supporting you mate, especially with the extra coin saved on Op's.
I'm retired from the Aussie Army & had the pleasure to relieve a Marine Corp Battalion in Somalia in "93" & also went over to Hawaii in "97" to work with the Army. We just had different accents & craved the same things - mail (when on Op's overseas), women, steak/seafood & **** (beer etc not agro as you boys thought lol).
So me and Freddie decided to try a different WGA with more preload to see if we could get the car to hold more boost, well below are the results. We had to turn the boost down because we were getting way to much tq for my stock block! Enjoy!

Steveevo9, thanks for the kind words, but I can't take all the credit for the tune... We have a strong relationship with English Racing, as Mikey and I used to be loyal customers when we lived in Washington State. They are one of the most down to earth shops in the community, and they also look out for military members as well as Aarons dad was a drill instructor!

You're very welcome Justin, look after that licence mate lol that's some nasty power
.
Thanks for the offer Freddie, I see you guy's always have specials like your FIC injectors Mickey was offering.
I know of English Racing, they have an enviable reputation & help out peeps here all the the time. If you chat with Aaron tell him I'm sorry for his traumatised upbringing, I used to be a drill sergeant for 3yrs myself, we are a little over the top lol
.
Good luck at Spec Ops
in 2012. Have a great Xmas lads!
