TitaniumTT's I hope I make it to DGRR '09 Build

[Turbo II Rotor]

Thanks.

Honestly though..... we weren't looking for .85L We were tuning for a little richer, not much but a little. There is a HUGE jump in power on my car from .75 - .8L, much smoother torque curve, virtually no misfires, my engine seems to LOVE good clean AFR's. 12 seems to be the magic number but I'm hesitant to go there until I get this fuel issue solved. I like the safety margin even if it costs me 50hp+. Last time we started with the car running ~.75 and lower. Cleaned her up to .8 and gained 50-60 hp. I think I'm going to put some LS2 Truck coils in over the winter. THey have something like 250% of the millijoules that the LS1 coils have.

It's not the tank. The tank that's in there is the cleanest S4/5 tank that I have ever seen, and I've cleaned it by hand myself on two seperate occasions and both times, nothing has come out on a clean papertowel. I don't think it's station related either because I've been tanking up at all different stations, although all of them have been Mobils or Exxons. Disconnecting the fuel fill is a PITA too, I know, I've removed it for cleaning in the past. If anything I'll get a locking filler and I'm going to look into some security camera's because it's getting a little too cold to sleep in the shop

Still running the V-mount, although it's really more of an H-mount I guess. I think the ductin is the key though. I suck up bugs that get trapped in the seem between the core and the frameing/ducting. Ambient temps were around 60-65* The intercooler is a brand that I will NOT specify publically. While it's a good intercooler, I fricken HATE the company that built it. They screwed me so badly, I refuse to do anymore business with them or give them any free advertising. I will say that Griffin and this other co claim the same effeicency with thier cores. I went with the other co for time and cost. They said they could deliver the custom intercooler in a few days, but when it arrived (and I had it 2-day aired for something ridiculous like $85) the end tanks were wrong. So when I called them to tell them they made a mistake, they wouldn't own up to it. It was a battle to get them to take it back and build me the proper one. Then I had to pay for shipping to get it out to them, and pay for shipping to get the correct one sent back to me. So in total I paid close to $200 for shipping for a $450 intercooler and had to wait a few weeks.

When my Griffin rad showed up, it had the wrong size outlet, 1 & 3/4" as opposed to 1 & 1/2. When I called them, they were all set to take it back, pay for the shipping and expedite a new one to me. They were so helpful on a rad that they would have a VERY hard time reselling (where as the intercooler was basically a generic front mount setup) that I decided to see if I could stretch a hose over the outlet. I could and kept the rad to sort of help them out. Honestly, since I can't completely remove the name from the intercooler (which I specifically asked them NOT to spraypaint on) the last thing that I'll probable do is replace the intercooler that I have with one grom Griffin, or just buy a Garret or Spearco core and fab my own tanks. But if you're looking for a good intercooler, I'd go strait to Griffin.

The AIT's are ridiculous though. One log showed a 120* jump in charge temps with a 1.7* jump in AIT's... lower boost level. The other interesting thing about the charge temps..... apparently we're close but not to the end of the turbo's effeicency. I was told that 300* is about where you want to stop.
