[Boostaddict]

Oh thats crap!! Well atleast its making 14psi and not like 9psi.

Might be something very simple and a fresh set of rested eyes will sort it in the morning. Txt phat about the power it made! Sure he will remember.

#edit

Oh and yes.... An update every time you checked your phone would be sufficient thanks. Im glad you are thinking of me!! Hehehehe

[Rome_BRZ]

I texted phat he said he didn't know...he was probably focused on trying to work put why it wasn't boosting! I know I'm in good hands so I'm sure it will all be sorted tomorrow!!

Michael sorted out the boost issue, was due to a split in a silicon hose, manufacturer issue!! Now that the boost issue has been sorted it should be good to pick up tonight! When Michael left Scott's to get back to Garage88, it had made 204kw at 18.5psi! Hopefully I get a few more of those before the end of the day

[Boostaddict]

Does that seem a little low for 18.5psi??? I would think so. But yours is a slush box .... So add another 20 kw for a 'real' figure??

And do i need to say it???....... Mmmmmmmooooooorrrrrreeeee bbbbbboooooosssssstttt!!

It IS just the intial run so hopefully it will be higher by the end of the day. I am quite happy with that, given that there would be torque converter slippage. Once that is eliminated in the future by someone like Matt who is an expert with these autos it would mean extra kws!

And yes given it's an auto I lose power to the wheels unfortunately! But it will still pull hard! Probably won't have an update for the rest of the day as Michael is back at the factory, so won’t know the final figure until I go pick my car up tonight!

204 through an auto is not to be sneezed at, assuming on 98 of course.

That's what I was thinking too, I don't think I've seen too many if any autos that have gotten this high without someone like Matt tuning it.

And yes 98...E85 will hopefully come sometime next year when Caltex picks up their act and makes it more available.

Now let's just wait and see what the final number is. Could be more but also could be less! Don't want to speak too soon!

[dr20t]

Rome that's a good result for an auto on 98, even if it doesn't make any more (which I hope it will)

Remember mine only made 196 on 98 before matt tuned it and it ended up making 217 when he did his magic.

So once the auto and dbw is sorted i reckon I was spot on with my 220-225 guestimate

And if Scotty can get more out of it then that figure will be even better!

Should haul ass bro

So, no need for the human powered lap of the track with Leo in tow????
