aww no turbo

yea, but i wanted to see him make the 450 or whatever you were saying about a turboed vq

a turbo 3.5 would be sick.

Travis would you sell me the 3.5 mounts?

EE, DIRTY POP!

looks like you might have the BW car back soon
well discuss this pm


back on topic

This sounds like a sick build. i hope all goes well

Wow! Its going to be a beast!

Cant wait to see when its done!

EDIT: oops double post

Its happening
Deep smile

A real motor
Maybe we can get the build published in hot rod

Looks yummy
I can’t believe I’m watching mine
This is a wild feeling


It might be my age
Or the cool fall morning air
But what did James Bond say
As the pretty blonde Fay
Ran her hand up his …. say

“oh my
I think I feel a slight stiffening"

edit
when i grow up
then i'll learn to spell

Dam barry! its your turn now bet you cant wait!

I am jumping up and down

I can't wait to really drive one

I was calculating stuff [gear ratios, speeds, tire sizes ,etc]
My new hobby
8000 rpm blew me away
It’s hard to believe

I’m trying to decide what I’m better geared for
1/8 or 1/4
Looks like I need to sand bag a bit w/ 24.5 in tires
48 mph  in first
76mph in 2nd [possible to run the 1/8 in two gears?]
100mph in 3rd , a little short for the 1/4
But omg on the street
132 mph in 4th [where's that turbo] a little long for the 1/4
What a lovely playful gear for the street though

This looks to be crazy
YES!

oooooo

Its so weird
Everybody here thought it was bs
[It’s gone on too long, and I keep saying I’m taking it down in a couple of weeks, since April]
Till the other night
Now!
It’s that damn little v6

And there was no v6
lol

These guys have some $
They are going to mob Travis
When I get this back




Aimee did pull off the block party
No they did not allow the burnouts
We substituted my daughter’s birthday
Which was somewhat close to the date Aimee set up.
All the kids [18-26 lol] came out played music and guitars
Danced and sang
A regular show
1st block party  the hua ever allowed
Of course we had to have it all cleaned and quit by
10 ON THE CLOCK
We started at 3PM
Great fun

YES!

just wait till you can tell people"well i did 130 in 4th but i havent tried 5th or 6th yet"

i cant remember, but i think im already in 5th gear at only 120 lol.

Finishing up the first head.. I've got roughly a full day into the first one.. half a day on Saturday, and half a day, today.. I still have about 30 minutes worth of "clean up" work to do with a buffing wheel and sanding.. These things are going to look killer inside and out.

Travis

Saweet!

Barry,

Whats the set up for engine management? JWT reflash? Megasquirt?

jwt reflash
Custom fuel and timing maps and raised rpm limit
It’s non tunable in the sense there can be no safc's

edit
its been a long day

you may not retain AC(there is an AC plug on the AEM harness... so im not 100% on that), but I am sure Travis could throw AEM on there. Its fun and intimidating driving around with an open laptop.
plus, you could fine tune everything. get your motor to its peak performance. and, travis wouldn't have to source you an ECU. just a 1050-u with harness(+cobra TB). maybe 2500 dollars. minus whatever a stock ECM costs and a JWT reflash. and I have about 3 VQ harnesses sitting around, for anthing that you need to splice in, along with every extra part you could think of.

Travis you could beat your swap record and have it done in like a week. and you don't have to reflash anything. just tune.

just thinking....

may be more reliable, but a stock ECM with various piggybacks could never be tweaked like a standalone. I couldn't tune my car, its crazy the amount of parameters you can change, but with a good dyno tune, I could get more horse out of a standalone than a stock ECM. and man, it would be awesome to see barrys car tweaked with a standalone. 310-320whp maybe?..... I heard the megasquirt is pretty cheap, and it still uses the stock ECM for some things.....

i couldnt begin to explain how jealous i am. haha. son of a bitch. one fine day. fuck turbo. 300whp all motor? DONE! of course it costs like....10k more haha

Barrys build is like something I dream about having. If I sent you a core, could you build and send one to me same as barrys? $$?

If you promise not to rip your rear engine mount out.. sure..

But, all BS aside, yes.. I can build a longblock for you.

Travis

We start with a base file, and then provide datalogs.. they go in and tweak them based on the data from that specific car..

Sure, you can tune a lightly modded N/A motor with a reflashed ECU and get the same power as a standalone.. Tuning via MAF is much more accurate than tuning by MAP sensor.. "Mail order" tunes usually suck, but, being able to provide data back to the company doing the reflash, enables them to "fine tune" the reflash.  It may take 2-3 tries, but, I work hand in hand with JWT, so it's not a big deal.

when he told me about this process i about flipped
this is the real deal

tuning a standalone really shouldnt be left up to the average person. ive been playing with the tune on my car for a good while and there is still lots of things that i wouldnt think of messing with.

+ 1
The car will still carry
egt and afr gauges just for safety's sake
