Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Well I did a rough tune last night at 27 psi and it was up and down but all in the 11 AFR range. This thing pulls alot harder then what I was expecting. A little more brake in time on the new motor and if all is well with that then I may have to try and get it on the dyno at the spring dyno day. By the looks of my injector duty I may be able to bump boost up to 30 or so since it is running 11:0 up top but injectors are running full. I think this means that my single wolbro 255hp is about maxed out. :)

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

I wanna see this thing on the dyno dude.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

haha u should test and compare with Mike and I haha.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

I got a new convert top on tonight and also started to take apart the extra rear end I have so I can swap it in the car. The one thats in there is making a constant loud howl. Hope to have it up and moving this weekend again.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Saw this thing a week or so ago. Looks great man, kinda has me thinking about getting one.

You'll have to take me for a spin in it one of these days. If you ever need someone to man the laptop while you're doing some pulls, let me know!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Sounds good! I am supposed to be closing on my house tomorrow (Friday) so I dont know if ill get to tuning it like I wanted to this weekend.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

This weekend wouldn't work too well anyhow as my g/f will be here all weekend. Let me know though.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Well the car WAS up and running and feels very very strong. The tune is safe for now but just not a smooth 11.5. It will go a tad leaner and richer here and there but is safe for now. The dsmlink HP estimator said 508 hp or so, I wonder how close they actually are. Did a nice 1-4th gear pull and the stock tranny disagreed with that and lost a few teeth on some gears.

Thanks to SHEP and their friendly staff I was able to get a trans built and it will be here Monday. Happy B day to me since that is my Birthday as well!

I got a stage 4 with evo 1st gear upgrade, all new shafts, and cant wait to put it in. I will be able to make it to the cookout after all :).

Im bead blasting my transfer case to match my brand new tranny and will be putting everything back together with clean hands so nothing gets dirty. If anyone has a bad 2g awd tranny let me know because I need to send another one into shep since some of the parts on my core were bad and need to get him a good core.

More pictures and updates to come.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Dyno dis bish.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

I will but I have to aquire some more cash first after ordering that dam tranny.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Ill be busy for the next few nights after work. Cant wait.

Next is installing the new rear differential, finishing exhaust, putting all new fluids in, transfer case install, and clean it very well. Cant wait to see how the new shep trans drives.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Bad ass man, I like!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

very nice. just got to love the last min. fixes and up grades to make the cookout

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

You bet and somehow it happens every year this way. If only the cookout was at the beginning of the summer then I would have a running car all summer.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Grats! That's a really clean engine bay vs. mine and the majority.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Love it. ; D I'm jealous. Trying to make my car AWD but unlike yours the 08 spyders don't convert easily.

More pics!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Thanks! I have an idea for you, buy mine when I put it for sale here after its all together again.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Oh man thats a sexy transmission!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

The tranny was my "blinging up" before the cookout.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Why would you sell this after finishing it? I understand you have an Evo now and would like to invest your time and money into that (so I would assume), but honestly a stage 4 Shep trans to just go and sell?

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Damn that tranny is sexy!

EDIT: Transmission is sexy, just so none of you fuckers get the wrong idea!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Because right after I bought the shep I had a very good offer and am moving on to other performance platforms besides the 4g63. And no I am not going all out with the Evo that is just the daily driver.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Thanks! It better be for how much it was. It should be all spotless when done puttting it back together here for the cookout so come check it out. Back out to the garage, more work to be done on the spyder.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Oh, I'll check it out if I make it there. Ride?

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Its nothing too special but sure.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Well I'm sure it's way more special than my pos! haha

:seeya:

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Hey maybe after the cookout you can test out your tranny next to me?

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

A shepherd showdown lol. That tranny looks awful nice, awesome car!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Thanks to who voted for me! 2nd place in the 2g category woot!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

GOt a ride in kerry's car today, Im gonna have to say it feels almost as quick as the 622awhp evo I rode in a few weeks back.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Hey mike thanks for driving my Evo to the show today for me. I cant wait until I get another fuel pump and push the spyder past 30psi.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Any time man, It was fun feeling what a stock evo was like again. Liz also liked your evo, it was really smooth. She said her boobs didnt bounce all over like they do in mine. LOL. Oh ya, thanks for the tour of your house, looking really good already, we will for sure need to party there soon.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

I rode in it today aswell and I am very impressed with how it pulls!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Sure will. I have never drove another Evo so it is nice to hear that my 108,000 mile evo rides and shifts like a dream or close too.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

^^This. You definately built yourself a damn nice ride Kerry!

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
 

Ha thanks glad you enjoyed the quick ride.

Re: Project Spyder 2009 Build
