Lex Luthor Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 SP fabbed a 12-tooth crank trigger setup and a cam trigger setup on the exhaust cam gear to sync to the AEM. Cool stuff. Everything went together great and Lar started the car today. We've decided to swap out the injectors for larger 75lb units...they'll be in on Mon, at which point they'll be installed and the car will be tuned on the dyno once again. Looks like it'll be all done next week. - Jon
soarer479 Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 ive been following your posts on all your engine work and im glad every thing is finally coming together for you espcially after that incident with GReddy
AWJ Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Jon, what about the fuel rail? Mind if I get a part number on the injectors you are going to use? You still run the ge head yea? Sounds sweet! Congratulations!
Lex Luthor Posted July 10, 2004 Author Posted July 10, 2004 JPI...i'll post some when it gets here. AWJ...thx man, SP has small tip injectors which will fit the GE rail w/out machining...don't know the part number though, Larry got 'em for me, give him a call. Yeah, using the ge vvt-i head, SP completely redid it...new valves, valve job, machined it a bit, etc. Entire long block has zero miles on it (well, probably a mile or two from hours on the dyno already ). Lar assures me with the aem he'll get it to run mint despite the new injectors being almost 800cc. I'll keep you guys posted...have to have it together in time for my engagement party, couple of ppl will be there to check it out. You should take a drive up AJ.
Lex Luthor Posted July 12, 2004 Author Posted July 12, 2004 You have to bring your SC though...it's a prerequisite for attendance.
alexR Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 lex Luthor, do you have a site that has info on your engine work? I have so many questions about your setup i dont even want to start asking :)
AWJ Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Jon has an excellent amount of information in the garage, click the link in his signature. Check it out.
Lex Luthor Posted July 14, 2004 Author Posted July 14, 2004 Dyno'd 485 rwhp today, more to come tomorrow...
jzz30 Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 thats what i am looking for! how much boost are you pushing?
Lex Luthor Posted July 15, 2004 Author Posted July 15, 2004 Just hit 509 rwhp @ 21 psi. This is w/ conservative tuning, through an automatic, with the stock exhaust. It ran out of pump though, so Lar stopped there. In the interest of time we'll be wrapping it up...i'll be adding a second Walbro later and will Dyno again. I cannot say enough about Sound Performance. Their skill and professionalism are top notch. I've built up alot of cars and dealt with alot of shops...SP did me right and met all my expectations. Larry, Gary, Ivan, and Max....thanks a million. Any questions about SP or this project in general...feel free to contact me. - Jon
jzz30 Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 is the vvt-i a good thing with the turbo? what do you think... and 21psi....how are your internals? not stock im guessing.
bean_8044 Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Mind sharing your exhaust cam gear setting? im putting them on next week
Lex Luthor Posted July 15, 2004 Author Posted July 15, 2004 We've changed the plan...second Walbro is going in this weekend, car will be back on the dyno Monday, we'll see if we can make a bit more power. bean...if you're not running vvt-i then I would not recommend using my settings. jzz30, vvt-i improves VE, which gives you benefits in turbo spool..goes together like tuna fish and lamb. You prefer spaghetti and meatball?
BlackSC4 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 i'm not sure if you may have answered this already, but will your tranny hold up for long? i heard that the autotranny on the sc's can hold up to about 400hp, not certian
Lex Luthor Posted July 21, 2004 Author Posted July 21, 2004 2nd walbro went in, aeroquip -8 supply line, and a crapload of fittings, plus a cool bulkhead setup for the pumps. The results? 585 rwhp @ 24 psi. This is with an automatic, tuned conservative, through an airflow meter, and that teeny vvt-i throttle body, with the stock cams. Lar says we would have eclipsed 600 rwhp...but the transport driver was getting real cranky waiting. Anyway it's on the way back to me, project complete. About a year, three engines, two engine management systems, and two fuel systems....but it's done. Big up to Lar/Gary/Ivan/Max/Bill, my goals were met and exceeded. - Jon
JPI Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Nice to know that you are making some good power. My project is on hold for now, the shop is too busy and I couldn't keep up with all the work coming in. I tried to email you so many times, oh well I will catch you later Jon. JPI
blueviol Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 hmmm as an owner of SC400, i envy you guys with sc300. it has a lot of tuning options... i might want to get a decent used sc300 later and get it tuned. of course i am keeping my 400 ^^ cheers~
Lex Luthor Posted July 23, 2004 Author Posted July 23, 2004 JP...shoot me an e-mail if you need anything, i'll get back to you.
