[carltalon]

Sweet!! I think Im going to have to stop buy this afternoon.

[tim]

I too would like to stop by. Are you fellas going to be around later than normal on friday?

It's alive and kicking right now. 140hp on 1lbs of boost(4k rpm on 20% throttle doing vac pulls), motor is broke in, they are getting ready to see what the car will do now. All in Pump Gas. Nice work guys! You've earned it!!!

[Kracka]

Glad to hear its going!

[Super Bleeder!!]

badass, i want updates and vid clips

[EclipseGST]

Congrats guys! I might just have to go to RF this weekend to see it run!

My god does it sound good.
We still have a bit to go (make sure non of the experimental parts go, make sure it builds boost properly, fuel works, timing, etc....) but a few of the hurdles have been cleared.

[unreal808]

I must hear it run!! Did you take it on the road?

[Goat Blower]

Congrats. Sounds like good news, the first few minutes on a new engine are always the scariest.

[cudvig]

Most definitely. i'm with cory lets hear/see this thing, i know you got some guys just standing around tell them to grab a camcorder!

[AJ]

It sounds so fucking sweet it's insane! When I left they where getting ready to get into it more and I hope to wake up to some good news.

[Matt D.]

I know you guys have a video camera, computers and an internet connection... PUT THEM TO USE!

[DoughtCom]

When they're making boost (well more than 1 and less than 5 even) it sounds like a fucking hurricane. You seriously can't hear the engine anymore. The car is gonna rock.

[niterydr]

Almost dialing in A/F under load, then its timing time .

[niterydr]

Well the car was running pretty good.
We've come up with a few issues.
1) It appears I have a bit of spark blow-out above 6500rpm, I guess that .037" gap with the 1 stage colder plugs was a bit greddy.
2) The wastegates appear to be cracking open and finally sealing around 6000rpm as the boost isn't very rock solid, it just slowly creaps up.

I'll have to do a boost leak test later this week, regap the plugs and turn it up from the blistering 14.9psi peak its making.


But I did manage to get this out of it:


Yeah, it pulls good, now to break in the clutch.

[Jana]

Good luck! Hopefully you guys get some sleep soon!! Thanks for letting us hang around last night. It was definitely awesome to hear it running!!

[JET]

Gratz on getting it running Swanny!

[Goat Blower]

Man, that thing spools quick.

[scheides]

Sweet, looks good man! Think you'll be able to do 500whp on pump gas?
