It has been, literally, since last year that I posted...

But I'm back and I'm happy to still see some familiar faces.
I kept up with some things and I'm happy to see that Kincaid is doing well.

Here are some pics of my baby...







And her little secret...





Kinda small and far away but the turbo and intercooler are still visible.

If any of those pics don't show, sorry.

 

welcome back, looking good as always.

Good to see you back. You're the only one with C5 replicas now. Represent!

 

Welcome back

Those rims are beautiful. How's the turbo kit holding up for you?

 

wow car looks real good. hows the turbo feel?

 

::::represents::::

Thanks for the compliments.

Turbo is decent, there are bugs to be worked out that I'm just too lazy to fix, but overall I have no complaints.

 

Welcome back!

 

So Ambient, are you going to that meet in Hampton VA?

 

ambient, about what rpm does your turbo spool??

 

How much boost do u run? how much power does it push...jon 93 lx

 

ambient,what are you running for fuel management and what kind of bugs are you having????

 

redrims: I'm going to try, looks as if finals will be getting in the way but I will put forth and effort to make it. The meet is 5 minutes from my house, but I'll be at school an hour away...figures.

THEGOLDPRO: I reach full boost at approximately 3000rpm

itzcatz: I have the wastegate actuator set at 4psi when I want to have a decent daily driver that I don't want to worry about. I turn the boost controller on low (overrides wastegate actuator) at 6psi when I want a little more power. Boost controller High is set at 8psi, for race only.

macdaddyslomo: I have Vortech 10:1 FMU which has actually gotten a lot better than it was when I first put it on...the computer must have done a lot of compensating over time. Though I can still guzzle some gas if I constantly go into boost.

Bugs are very worn flywheel, imagine cold clutch stutter times 400 all the time...
In the beginning I had a torque strain problem on the downpipe which caused it to crack and eventually break.
I have one fouled O2 sensor from a far to rich mixture...it is now leaner but the O2 sensor is still sending wrong data making the car swallow gas like crazy during boost.

 

Where exactly is the intercooler?

 

I KNEW if I posted that link, some smart person would reply to this one instead...
