Just of it in idle but wanted to finally share some actual progress/footage.

I think he needs a few more gauges

edit: oops i saw its you.. nice looking car... but i'm not a big fan of 100000 gauges everywhere

 

You better be when you're running on the autobahn w/ sustained runs of 190mph +. Got fluids I got a gauge for it. Those days are numbered though...so I'll be getting rid of a few or just hiding them in the glove compartment. I'm more function over form kinda guy.

 

Sounds/looks absolutely badass! What catback do you have on there?

 

Looks Awesome!

 

Looks and sounds badass, if I didn't build my motor for n/a purposes I would love to get a procharger

 

What fuel pressure gauge is that?

 

Autometer.

 

Enough with the teaser vids!!!! We want vids of that beast at WOT in the car, not another idle vid!!!

How much longer till she gets tuned Silas?

 

Ben,
It'll be once I'm back stateside for the tune. I am waiting on some vid of it being finished now actually. Had a friend w/ his 22lb 03' Terminator pushing 650rwhp video some runs on the autobahn. He blew me out of the water from 3rd and 4th gear pulls. From 2nd gear low roll I got him out of the whole but his car pulls so hard. Keep in mind too though I'm only seeing 10lbs and have the rev limiter set @ 5100rpm's vs 6400w/ the little bitty modified base tune from a month ago. I asked him how much he was pushing it and he said he was giving it all he had. He pulled 4 cars lengths on me each pull and remained that way. If I had this thing tuned it wouldn't remotely be a match and he knew it. It was fun though and we ran 5 or 6 times up to a 190ish or so.

She backfired on me once the whole time so after that I layed off of it. On the way home she blew the IC pipe but I'll get that fixed for good back home. 10lbs is more than enough for the street I can't imagine what an estimated 22psi will feel like if it'll go that high. Definitely need meth too as my IAT's were up there and I could feel the power begin to diminish.

 

Don''t run it too hard until you get it dialed in with a good tune. I am really looking forward to the end results though. Keep us updated!

 

Yeah I know...my AFR's have been acting funny too since that last run. I'll check the plugs and do a datalog this wkend. I'm pretty much done w/ it. Change the procharger oil today along w/ the engine oil, clean it up and put another 100 miles on her then get her ready for shipping on the 29th.

The way the car feels I wouldn't be surprised on the current tune it belts out 600rwhp. Whatever the final number is I know I'll have 2-4 different tunes...600rwhp for the street and the others for race if I ever get to a track.

 

Cool Video. That supercharger whine will draw alot of attention. I have car buffs all the time stopping at redlights with the windows down asking questions. I get alot of work done at discounts at the local places around here because everyone knows the car and me. Problem is that it takes them forever to get work done because they are always BSing and not working. LOL

Anyway nice work and its good to see your car on the road.

 

is it bad that i knew it was an F1 just from the sound?

Sounds amazing, looks amazing.

What wheels are those?

Buddy of mine had an F1a cog setup on an 03 cobra running 28psi. Definately the only way i would go procharger is with an F1 or bigger

 

Thanks! It's been a LONG road. I love the torque from it too...and prefer the linear curve vs getting hit w/ a ton of torque down low from a turbo(s). I'm just amazed by the performance on the base tune. It's fun to drive and that's what I wanted more than anything.

Attention?! Yeah it's a an attention ***** now. LOL Alot of the Germans just shake their heads trying to figure out what the hell that sound is. They jump when I blip the throttle as the BIG RED BPV sounds off. Gate guards though give me grief because we can't hear each other when speaking. Ha-ha.
Wheels are Fikse Profil 13's. They really set the car off. Crazy what a set of wheels can do for a car.
