good news and really bad news

**Update**

Good news and really bad news..... good news my car finally passed Provincial safety so am 100% legal in my province now and that's a huge load of my shoulders.

bad news well I have to pause the turbo side of the project as my job is now uncertain...I have to compete for my own job still cant believe this....ARG!!!#@$!@%$#^!#ER#TR$# I wont rant here about it as I would be writing all day and all night about it.

Other bad news I wont be able to go to the track today and I was so looking forward to it After the 5 hour drive to go do my safety I came back to 5 rib belt instead of 6 rib...have to investigate what happened and order a new belt before I stay stranded at the track or on the road... It literally shredded 1 rib.

stay tuned...

Car is partly tuned...gave my GF a test drive...

10 PSI and still got a good 20-30 HP of power on the table...



sorry for crappy video

So to prepare for the abuse of tuning I did an oil change 20w50 Castrol dino oil with a Mobil1 filter and BPR8ES NGK sparkplugs.

I got 3/4 of the tuning done and finally working on WOT.... Full throttle my SC unleashed 12 PSI in less then 1/2 second... running 16 degrees of timing on 91 octane no detonation so Im clear to go to the dyno EXCEPT the damn Clutch slave is leaking now...

I still cant believe my exedy clutch can hold this amount of power...and survived all the detonation of street tuning..

Long time no update... raison why? Well my PS rack blew as soon as I actived the EPS. What to expect from a 20+ year old PS rack.

I also installed my new 130A alternator (the old 70A was on its way out anyways) and I needed the extra power for the EPS and new sound system.

Last but not least I installed my new 7" 6 rib pulley and sourced a nice Good year Gatorback belt for it..took a good 4 different belts to find one and only mod to the tensioner was a reversed install and its nice and tight now making almost 9PSI :)

Only thing missing now is Tuning...tuning...tuning... and get ready to pass the provincial safety.

Dyno sheet and video coming up soon...as I get an appointment.

stay tuned...

 I went out to put some gas and 1st gear I got almost 10PSI heard detonation....removed foot from gas pedal and ease it in all the way...Car is a BEAST!! I wasn't expecting this amount of boost so quick 2000 rpm not even full boost on 1st is unreal!!
