Worked on this some more last night. Coming along nicely... about to add the LCD boost controller screen to the tach next.

Replaced the brake reservoir seals. Wow, I know my old ones were bad just by how hard the new ones were to install...
Also changed every bleeder on every vehicle I own to these. SpeedBleeders + MightyVac = hydraulic nirvana.

Never used a MityVac, but I just installed speed bleeders a few weeks ago and I am sold.
Yeah SpeedBleeders are awesome, the mityvac is only needed when you empty it out or have too much air in there (and are too lazy to wait for gravity to do its thing).
Eugene once put down 557AWHP on a dyno but there was never any other dynos that came close or for that matter very few dyno numbers in existence. On my old 93 it put down 475AWHP and 477AWTQ at 25 psi I believe. The motor had forged internals and ported heads but everything else was stock. I'm sure with the right tune on ethanol they could hit 500-525AWHP. It's a big Volvo compressor wheel/cover.Quote:

On the 4 bangers they seemed to run out at 300WHP sometimes a little more.Quote:

I decided to hell with it and will try out 1000s on ethanol with the ARC-2. I can't run pump with injectors that big but like I say I have a flashed ECU on the shelf. I may purchase some 720 injectors also to replace the 550s. I could get pump numbers on the billet turbos, switch to flashed ECU, mess with timing and fuel maps, get another dyno, and then shoot for E85 all out. Ideally I wanted to see how far I could push these 368s on ethanol with the flashed ECU but I may not have enough time for that.
Are your 368s billet? Or are there other billet turbos you are getting? I'm a little confused... unless you're getting the new MTC billets... if so, RIGHT ON!!
Purchased a TD05-20G for it...just one... should be fun.
Where did you get them? Based on 3SX's site, I need to make sure my '93 doesn't have 7 mm valves in the back before I order.Quote:

Bboyalan started getting his feet wet with tuning my aem ems v2,who said that aem ems was plug and play??????????????

My 93 did have the 7mm ones, but NAPA stocks them, fyi.Quote:

Definitely interested in this post up once you get it sorted out.Quote:

It will be a little bit longer before I'm driving it again. Once the mcmaster hardware arrives (tomorrow) and I do one last dry-fit, I'll get all the seat/harness steel stuff powder coated.
I have a thread on BAWC about it, though the whole first half of the build thread is me remodeling the kitchen and putting off the car. haha I'm going to wait to make a thread on here until she is completed.Quote:

Of course the 'Rolla will make it. @40 MPG, it will make it like a champ with change left over. :p Really stoked to get to make it. Just trying to work out where we are staying now.Quote:
