When I wasn’t tossing engine parts around Seths garage floor today, we actually were doing real work and tuning the car(Joe Berlinos Evo 9 MR)
Thought you might get a kick out of this one. While Seth and I were goofing around, checking some logs and knock register we came across a VERY interesting feature in this particular…
The twin scroll setup, and combination of how I rigged the EBCS and these Syncronic wastegates the car now builds anywhere from 8-10lbs of boost off the line. Couldn’t get her to do it before.
I was and still am very hesitant to launch the car like this due to an already failing transmission and non-built TC and rear diff.
I’ve got a little more tweaking to do and possibly another trip back up north before the weekend.
If this was only Erics(EJ’s) Evo with the fully built drivetrain I’d LOVE to see what happens when the clutch is let out with this little interesting quirk :nod
I’m picking up a subliminal answer of “NO”. :lol
C’mon, think of it as your chance to stimulate the tuner economy. (j/k - I admire your efforts to protect cars entrusted to you)
Very interesting set of circumstances, for sure. I’m thinking the axles would be at risk, too, no? I no haveee Drive Shaft Shop axles… those’ll come after I snap one if I go with my upgraded autox tire/wheel package next season.
:lol Yeah I meant “now” but subliminal no is probably a better guess.
DSS axles are a plus, biggest grunt taker though is the TC on this car and would be the first to GO POOF(this car is ACD equipped…boo). Your car with complete built drivetrain would just light up all four of the street skinnys for certain!
New sticky hoho’s for next year, or just wider? Let me know if/when you’re ready to rivet on some widebody arches a-la RSR style :cool
That’s my car with my anti-lag setup:( I tuned it to cut timing and run a lot of boost…the 30R just didn’t have the grunt to build the boost at the line. Glad to see its working with the twin scroll! :banana
