Looking good JP:handgestures-thumb:

My goal is to be able to run whatever turbo I get on low boost (15-18psi) on the road course and have it be nice and responsive and maintain torque to redline, while making 450-500rwhp. On a road course you do a lot of 1-gear pulls, where you pull from say 4000-7000rpm, brake down, and do it again. I generally short-shift at 6000rpm, but in a lot of cases, I'd shift then immediately brake and have to downshift again; not worth the shift time, so I wind it out. But of course, the N54 falls on its face after 6000rpm or so. So I want something that'll keep the boost up and the torque flowing to redline. More than 500rwhp I don't think would be terribly useful on the courses around here without very serious chassis mods to fit wider tires and significant downforce, so thats my engine goal. I want it to be reliable and consistent at those power levels and not be working its ass off. So a medium size single or twins would be ideal, I think. But right now the setups just seem too "fragile" for lack of a better term. I want to simplify, simplify, simplify.

Thanks! didn't know that.

Sorry no indash boost. I totally forgot about that. Only have AFR on dash. You'll know when it's in boost though lol. I'm waiting for the video to upload. It's 9 minutes long and Hd so taking forever. Sound didn't come out as it does in real life as I had the water proof cover over the gopro. You guys will get the idea though. I did a cold start, some revs once warm, and some in car pulls.

Sure. You can use meth with any map. But there is no safety or progressive boost mapping unless you are using map 3 (or do up a special map 6). People who run heavy E50 mixtures or race gas don't need a safety so sometimes they prefer map 7. With a BMS kit meth will flow on map 3, 6, & 7 by default. But the additive is only considered on map 3 & 6.

Yeah normally E50 + meth customers would use the "race" flash. But this one only runs meth sometimes. So runs the E85 flash full time. And the only way to do that is with the leaner air/fuel ratios.

Not my friend, just a member on the other forum. There is a big thread about Brens deltas, but the strip numbers simply don't match up. And it is a 6at as well

Based on the traffic heading the other direction I would never guess 2 am but that's better than 2 pm

Crazy Norwegians! Gotta love our Scandinavian friends! Nice car!!!!

doesnt the N54 target load, ie it will raise boost to hit a certain "#" regardless of dyno, even on stock tuning?

Higher reinforcements.... Hopefully at that point you'll have plenty of sponsors to cover any additional costs

running lean with e85 is also a function of trying to keep the fueling system happy... Also the dynomite dyno used at Undercover is not inflated, I made 265-270 on the dyno FBO with BMS flash active for e85.

This was on Bren's dyno, but when I got there we ran my PTF Pump Gas (93) ProTune (which was only tuned on the street) and the numbers matched up to what Undercover's dyno read. RnmEvo9, I agree your friends times are off, especially if he's a 6AT. If it's an 6MT, then that's 100% driver error.

Terry, food for thought: I know you love running lean-ish on E85 mixtures but I think 12.5 is the sweet spot for a bit more safety and consistency on it. Rather run rich if it isn't costing you significant power than go all out. sweet numbers though

Film the indash boost gauge with rpm if u get a chance in 3rd or 4th gear..lets see spool action..good luck with the build

a Lil bird told me some kind of video may be up by tomorrow? I hope so. I'm on the travel back to Alaska and I'm voting for vids too !!!!!! :D
