Ok so i just wanna say THANK YOU to Fernando at RSP. this car f'n rides out and its just the beginning. we ran into a couple different problems like the coil on plug setup suck. it was making low power (311) and the graph was all up and down so fernando says maybe its not getting enough power. Fernando worked his magic and it gained 28 more whp, we were amazed plus it cleaned up the graph alot. I am going to go back to stock coil pack and wires so i should gain more HP too. Another thing i had one of the welds on the intercooler end tank break ( my fault fitment issue) but Fernando pulled it off the dyno and let me take the intercooler off and let me use the shop welder to fix it. ( thanks again) also we had killer hot temps today dyno READ 101 degrees and it still made 376whp and 360tq at 20psi. I was really excited considering i have a stock head, stock cams, stock MAIN bolts, stock fuel system and 2.5in intercooler piping, and those shitty Coil on Plugs. I want to say a big thanks to Fernando for hooking me up with a tune, when i am low on money with college.

Full spool on this 3582r is 4500rpm on the dot lol i will post a graph soon

My hats off to you good sir, those are some impressive numbers.

Thank you. The tune is very conservative he said I could of hit 400 but I was super happy

Sweet man. That's some beefy ass torque. I'm excited for 450+. 20psi....pfff, that 35r is just getting started!!! You rev to 7600? If so, 3100 rpm of powerband ain't so bad...a little late for me, but that's just me. Happy to see you're finally gettin somewhere with the new setup!

Sounds great, I wish I had the cash to go turbo.

So all that work from Comp and all the BS about there turbos and it turns out that it wasent the Comp Turbo after all , A call to Comp would be nice to thank them for what they did do and that it wasent there turbo after all would be in order , They sold it to another guy that made a crap load of power and didnt touch it

I have allways said the COP was worthless

Tom

Actually only revving to 7k cause stock cams fall off at 6800. But this thing is awesome I'm in love

geeze, those are some nice numbers, what do you have done to the bottom end?

Supertech pistons and Eagle rods.

No i wont give them a call i waited over 3 months for turboes. thats there job to make turboes and see what works. Just like with what a did with Fernando its the tuners job to figure out why things dont work. even tho it was a mechanical issue it was fixed in the tune. i really hope they didnt sell my comp turbo to that guy cause the seals were leaking and its had scratches from so much shipping. but i hope your no taking this personal i did a change cause i wanted too, i paid you for your time. i needed someone to look at the car while tuning to figure problems out, when gong for these HP its nice o be infront of the car and makes me feel better.

Also would like to see the graph please

Supertech pistons and Eagle rods.

Correct, now i need arp bolts

are you using billiet mains? anything other than the rods/pistons? no return style setup yet?

congrats on the power.. the stock head is good for a bit more just so you know.. im still on stock mani, cams, coil pack, plugs, wires, and cam gears set at 0.. basically my whole top of my motor is stock on 93 octane fuel.. and the high setting is just retarded.. i almost never use it..lol...

Just to get a few things straight , There was a LARGE confusion that you caused because you ordered a turbo from me then went and ordered a turbo from Comp , which turned out that you ordered the wrong turbo , then had to get another turbo FREE which I stepped in and helped with even tho you got what you ordered and Comp even covered the shipping

Comp and Focus-Power have checked out that turbo that you ended up with after ordering the wrong turbo so I and Comp knew what the turbo would do , It wasent like you were testing it or anything

Its the tuners job to get you properly tuned , There is NO dyno shop that tunes cars and does phisical work to it at the same cost , I am a Tuner not the savier for all the issues the car may have , that isnt the tuners job and you act like I didnt put in the time with you about tuning issues , But I am glad you feel better !

Tom

nice man, glad your liking the new turbo!!!

Correct, now i need arp bolts

Great numbers man. Now we need to see some vids of the car in action. I'm curious to see a speedo shot of that thing rowing through the gears.

what cr did you go w/? anything else besides the Supertech pistons and Eagle rods?

what do you have done fuel wise?

I'm gonna probably have to end up mildly building the bottom end on my svtf before I throw boost at it. compression test today showed cyl 1 is hurting a little bit. Looks like you god a solid setup, so thats def reassuring.

Congrats on the new numbers Jim! I'm glad that it wasn't the turbo and hopefully I should have some numbers up in a few weeks once I get my new clutch installed.

Cant wait to see your numbers Tom said that other guy made huge power, so i hope you do too.

I can see you took me going to someone else the wrong way, these statements have nothing to do with my thread BUT

Justin at compturbo said he knew what you said and what you wanted done to the turbo. but i can see he was lying to me, so i gave him a second chance still make no power, i went to garrett and made power, end of story i could of made more too but i chose not too.

PLEASE pm me if you wanna talk, your still a friend in my book no need to trash my thread

O there was alot more power in it, but i still have stock main bolts so i felt safe at leaving it there, plus its stupid on the streets now. im only running 19psi at the moment and i see no need to go for more my currrent components. now in a month or so i will have a ported head, intake manifold, 3in intercooler piping, stock coil and wires, and a return fuel system

i have the supertech 8:7:1 comp with my head decked 10 thous, so im probably at 9:0 compression.

Fuel system is stock except for a boost a pump

And bottom end is just supertech pistons and eagle rods with new bearings.

still shoulda gone for the holset tehehe

looked good. glad tuning is coming along. hurry up and get that shyt done. eleventy billion hp is waiting.

I didnt take you going else where the wrong way , Not at all , I am glad you found the faulty COP and a leak in the PSI side as the issues why the Comp turbo wouldnt make power , funny how starting out you made almost the exact power as the Comp 311 HP then found issues with the COP and a leak

What gets to me was how quick you dumped the Comp , wouldnt show me the dyno or the log when you dynoed the Comp which I asked for many times ,which would of helped GREATLY is finding your issues THATS what has my panties in a wad

no no no it didnt have any leaks when i had the comp turbo. when we were dynoing it blew out a weld. the only thing that the garrett and the comp had same was my crappy cop. but the comp still spooled to late for me.

And i told you why i didnt have a log. i went to pick up parts at my buddies shop and he was waiting for a guy to dyno and thru mine up on there real quick,, i didnt have my xcal or laptop with me

Ok so i just wanna say THANK YOU to Fernando at RSP. this car f'n rides out and its just the beginning. we ran into a couple different problems like the coil on plug setup suck. it was making low power (311) and the graph was all up and down so fernando says maybe its not getting enough power.

You are welcome, am glad everything work out good at the dyno and you are happy with the results. I hope you enjoy the car and ill see you soon to make more power.

Thanks for letting me be part of your project Fernando.

Anytime buddy, and ill get those parts made for you in a week[woot]

You can see how smooth it pull up to full boost but then the coil on plug setup just sucks and cant hold a steady spark, Its the not timing or anything else we checked it all.

i like the spool time on that. graph looks nice. looking forward to seeing it completely un-drivable with power haha

Jim, put the uncorrected numbers in your sig instead. K thx [:)]

Lol I thought ppl use sae. I'll use my STD numbers now

nice. which bearings you end up going w/?

ARP main studs? change the head studs at all?

I dont have arp main studs at the moment but i will, and yes i have arp head studs and i used clevite bearings

People mock STD # but they are what the car actually did under thats days conditions so there is nothing fudged about them

SAE takes into account weather conditions and makes it so if you dyno on a 106 deg day then on a 50 deg day the dyno should be the same all else being the same ,

HUH didnt know that, i wondered what the diff between std and sae were

Always wondered that also. Nice numbers man. Im loving the tq. I bet that thing is fun as hell.

I love this thing actually i havent had it too 20psi on the streets yet, im running between 18 and 19 but it feels like its about to blow the tires off 3rd

I want a video of that speedo. Now! ahah

I would be fine with 18 or 19, hahaha

LOL i will get some video, and ya when you go up one pound its really noticable

All Fabbed by me and Tuned by Fernando at RSP

I love it...

LOL thanks me too, and look who it is haahah jk. You foci still running good

Nice numbers Jim......

Now I'm gonna ask the same question I always ask..... 93 octane or Race gas???

Thanks and this is all 93octane but i am also running methanol for safety of getting bad gas

I will have a video up pretty soon ;)

your video "up pretty soon ;-)" comment wasn't/isn't accurate......

bump for vids

Lol totally forgot I'll get them up tonight

Spec of my foci on the first page

is boring the block the only thing you did? any balancing or decking of the block?

is boring the block the only thing you did? any balancing or decking of the block?

ya just bored the block. also i decked the head .10 thou i need to add that

ok nice. called one of the local shops here and they were talking about balancing, boring of some wrist pins or something like that. all kinds of stuff. quoted me just under $1k. gotta call back and get a quote for just boring the block and decking the head. did you hot tank the block as well? I'm a newb with all this machine work stuff.

EDIT: and do you think polishing a crank that has 95k miles on it would be a good idea? I don't plan on revving out any higher than the factory rev limit. not sure if its needed.

Yes i hot tanked the block

And i would only mess with the crank if it has grooves in it.

His is my build thread if it helps

ok, when I take it apart, I'll take a look at the crank and post pics of it for your guys opinion. thanks for all the help man!

+1 rep for you [thumb]

Don't give him the rep before he gives you the parts list!!!!

lol he's already helped me out with other stuff. I owed it to him. haha

Don't give him the rep before he gives you the parts list!!!!

LOL, Actually im gonna help him save about 400 dollars too when he purchases parts ;)

100% yes polish the crank , it does not cost much and in my opinion a MUST to a good quality engine build

It isnt just for the lines in the crank it for smoothing out and making a good smooth surface for the new bearings , the machine and cloth used is ultra fine and takes very little off the crank but makes for a complete new surface for the new bearings

Also check C-F-M for your parts they have some good deals as well

Tom

UPDATE:

So i took the oil pan and wintage tray off to check the thrust bearing and its perfect. i checked the endplay again amd its 8 thous. the book say end play needs to be between 3 thous and 10 thous so im good. I shimmed the sensor so we will see

Good , I think you will be fine then

Tom

Yea i checked over everything i could think of. And the bearings look brand new

maybe you accidentally put a 4g63 in it and you are getting crank walk lol

Lmao no I ruled that one out
