We shouldn't be that far off. Spikes to 11psi around 6500. Remember the only difference we have is fuel and tune.

Yea it is fun but I want a little more juice like 20psi. I want to feel my hips sink into the seat.

Thanks man. My brother wants to paint his car like that but I am telling him no. If I had a decent garage, I would. Then my other friend wants to paint his civic. Not a chance. I hate doing body work! :x

Some other vids. I am tired of this 10psi. Time to turn up the boost. Looking for 15psi and see how she reacts.

Working great so far. With wally, I could hear my 044 up front but with the dw301, it keeps the 044 quiet. The dw is not loud at all. My recommendation is the dw because it is e85 compatible and has a 3 yr warranty. The aero is one year and does not state compatible with e85.

Yea to keep up the pressure for the corn. I am going to change to dual down the road. Weld another pickup tube and run the 044 with that. I got a good deal with the 044 and used a jag pump to feed my 044. Then I bought a wally to feed it but it crapped out so DW was the choice. I may remove the 044 and run the dw alone since it can handle what I want. Still deciding.

Supakat this build is sick! I almost feel guilty for not noticing it sooner. This was a complete transformation from what is was before and it looks sooo clean! Great work

Correct. B15 Spec V.

Thanks cleantune. This has been one hell of a project and done with the help of my brother in laws and myself. Like I stated before, only three hands, well technically six hands, thirty fingers, have touched this car and I plan to keep it that way. If I did not go to school and get my BS, I would have tried mechanics. But nonetheless, this is the reason why I get aggravated with people who give up and don't try to do their own work. It just takes a little of initiative, reading and understanding. Once accomplished, you will have a greater appreciation for your car and yourself.

Thanks man. You won't regret it. You will be able to pull more ponies out with the sc.

I also am scared of that wording.
• Due to the dialectic qualities of Alcohol based fuels like E85, service life maybe reduced and filter maintenance increased.
It is an open ended cop out. If your pump fails after 6 months and you try to make a claim, I bet they would throw this in your face. Damn lawyers and their shenanigans.

Good point. I have an Aeromotive 340 waiting to go on. Hopefully it holds up. The guys at Real Street Performance recommend it for E85 users.

Just updating in case people are keeping up.

My wideband went to sh!ts. I had a 14point7 that I assembled about 3 years ago. It worked well but it finally crapped out. I have had some issues with it not reading correctly so I purchased a new sensor, calibrated it and still the same issue. I just ordered an UEGO. So when this comes in, I am going to turn up the boost to 14-15lbs and she how she feels. I should be around 320whp. This is the only thing holding me back right now. Everything else is good.

Also, on Friday, I was cruising and this red 2010 manual V8 Camaro was on the road. It was taunting me but I did not bite cause traffic was in the back (scared of the troll lurking back there). As we kept driving, we both crossed a yellow light leaving the traffic in the back and we pulled up to the next light. He was on the left, I was in the middle and a stinky Accord was on the right. Light turned green, the Accord screeched to hell, I bogged a lil bit (in which I am still pissed) and the Camaro hesitated. As I came out my bog, the Camaro was on my bumper. As I shifted into second, that is when I started to pull slowly. As I hit third, I was possibly about a half car length ahead. When I let go at 100mph, I was a whole car length ahead.

I have to blame driver error on his/her part cause the v8's run 13.1 with a good driver. So his skills could probably run mid to high 13's. I am calculating at 10lbs with my setup I should be around 13.5.

Just got back in from a cruise.

Installed UEGO, cleaned the 7's, gapped at .028 and advanced 5* across the board.

I was crusing and noticed my afr's have gotten rich since I dropped in the deatchwerks. My previous wide band was not working correctly so this is adding to the situation. I decided to take off from second gear and what a difference. Tires broke loose around 5K and I backed off. I didn't expect that to happen. The transition into boost felt better than before. I then cruised again and dropped it into 4th. It pulled off nice, but got a little blow out. I then went to work for 30 minutes then started to go home. Did a 3rd gear pull and it started to miss at 4500, got pass that then again at 5500 and I backed off. I tried again in 4th, and same situation as the previous pull.

I need to go get some corn then have my bro in law drive so I can re-tune. I am going to re-tune with the 7's because cruising it it around 12.5 right now and in boost around 11.1, So once I get better afr's, the plugs should clean up themselves. If no go, then 6's but I just want the insurance of the colder plug.

Thanks. The issue is not having a driver though, it is having a babysitter. Wife was working till 9pm. I need to go get fuel as well so by the time I do that, it will be late and I will be tired.

I'd totally babysit for you. I even have a family friendly mode of transportation aside from the KA-R.
