Went to the dyno and got tuned yesterday. The car is insane. It was making too much torque at low rpms and my tuner pulled out timing to try and lower the tq so the motor wouldn't tear itself apart. Numbers are fairly impressive though. Peak power is 623 hp and 471 lb ft. It was making close to 400 lb ft at 3000 rpm. Fortunately, we were able to set up boost by gear on my supercharger, so power is limited in lower gears. The traction control will also make the car more driveable on the street.

I'll be posting my dyno plots after my tuner emails them to me on Monday.

Absolute insanity Tim but I love it!

It was amazing.  His car found the "brown note".  They tried runnin the dyno with the exhaust dump open and the frequency of the vibrations from the sound kept shutting the system down.

So glad to see your years of hard work and innovation pay off. Great work and great results congratulations.

Congrats Tim! Great numbers buddy. So When will it officially be back on the road?

[timot_one]

Thanks guys. It's back and in the garage. I was going to drive it around today, but I just didn't have any time before the weather turned bad. I'll probably take it out on the road after I fix a small problem with the tb and clean up a few things in the engine bay.

Here's the dyno graph from yesterday's tune.

Excellent results Tim.  Any future plans or is it time to sit back and enjoy what you built?

[Rushzer0]

That graph is just beautiful. The torque must be a lot of fun as well.

I'm definitely going to enjoy it for a while, but there are still some changes that will be made. I will be picking up a set of PPG straight cut gears with taller ratios. It's only a matter of time before I destroy another transmission, which is why I'm cautious to drive it. I'm considering a direct port nitrous set up, but we'll see if I pull the trigger on that. Other than that, I'm probably going to have the fenders modified to fit the wider wheel/tire set up that I want to run. After that stuff is done I'll be putting the stereo back in the car. I will probably be building an amp rack that bolts in and will be easily removable when I want to cut weight from the car for track events.

That graph is just beautiful. The torque must be a lot of fun as well.  

Thanks. The torque is actually kind of scary. There's just so much of it so early that it makes things kind of insane. Fortunately boost by gear works, so I am able to limit boost and power in lower gears.

Are you still spraying meth with your current setup? I assume you were using E85 for the latest dyno tune?

[timot_one]

Yes. This was on E85. We didn't feel that we could regulate the boost consistently to run pump gas. I'll probably go back for a pump gas tune in the summer with a larger blower pulley.

I'm using 2 5 gph water meth nozzles.

Just saw a post on honda-tech about this, and thought, "I haven't been to ecm lately!"

CONGRATS

man i am so jelly. must be a blast to finally drive

[timot_one]

Can't drive it. It snowed last night. I need to tweak a few things too.
