Just installed my new intercooler and suspension and took some pics to share.
I plan to take the car to my first florida meet. should have my semi built motor in before then.
Mods: Stock rebuild, Holset hx35 turbo@21-30psi, megasquirt, EVO8 560cc injectors, walbro 255lph pump, meth injection, reground cam.
Try to do some highway pulls, but was having some issues. Boost not holding and charge pipe blew off again, so I have some work to do.
1st pull, started in 2nd right to 3rd lost traction for all of 3rd, grab 4th, boost falling.
2nd pull started in 3rd, no traction, grab 4th, charge pipe blew off at 110mph.
I wish all you guys could make it to Flyrtle, but that's not possible. We need a good showing of 1gn to put them 2gn boys in there place.
Ademan your needed at Flyrtle man. Pistons are really beefy, I like them a lot. I have been reading up on the dual spring setup. I think Zach already has his going. May have try it on my new build.

I really want to come down, just to shut westpalm up. but its too far of a drive, need to make money. yes i put the dual spring together 1st, but i havent put the motor back in the car yet.
basically its a je piston, pauter rod, felpro headgasket, new valve seal, dual valve springs setup , gt35r turbo, and vband 38mm mvs wastegate from obx, i just need to install the temp sensor on charge pipe and bolt my megasquirt in it. right now i still have fcon in that car.

Also your car is too rich on boost, lean it out and it will pull better, i run 11.7-12.2. on my holset and it pulls great. and will even help your car spool faster.

I was going to mention the same thing after watching the video. Especially top end second and 3rd gear, the A/F's are dipping below 10.
It also dips down very low between shifts, worse then a VAF'ed car with BOV, Funhouse are you keeping your foot on the gas during shifts? or does megasquirt not cut fuel quickly when letting off the gas, I guess it doesn't use the clutch pedal sensor like the stock ecu for deceleration.
Ademan I find 12.2 quite lean at high RPM's (but I don't have any timing adjustments).
Funhouse (Your probably above 5000 RPM on every shift so I might just be seen your top end tune) maybe this is just in the start of tuning but you might not want to run quite so rich, your passed the cooling aspect of low A/F and this rich will start to create more heat and/or choke spark. Try to get the A/F's to drop as RPM's increase, At WOT I would try 12.5 from 3500rpm dropping to 11.8 at 4500, 11.2 at 5000 and 10.8 above 5000. (10.8 is crazy rich).
And 15.4 at idle.
Yeah, you're running a bit rich, when I have a working wideband, I like to keep mine around 11.2-11.5 under full boost, idle and cruising it's around the same, 16.0-16.4
I'm also running dual valve spring with mx6 and GC spring seats. Stock HLA's are running fine, I just need new ones. I'll try and get some pulling videos soon.

Actually 12.2 is not lean, its still rich, remember stouch is 14.5-14.7. i have tune my mx6gt for 13.5a/f before at 21psi and thats is when the car because fast. and pull stronger. but most tuner tune their car for 12.0-12.5a/f
attered atmosphere,inline pro,extreme,buschurracing, while using high compression 10-1 to 11.5 cr on their turbo cars. even i watch tim turbo tune is lt1 turbo camaro for 13s a/f
Yeah its rich, my laptop got stolen and I have not had a chance to do a datalog. I will have to borrow my wife's laptop and load everything on it and make the adjustments.
He was saying it was lean for that RPM range, that boost, compared to what he would recommend and/or be comfy with.
Not that it was lean, period.
“One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that if you drive into London at 6am, half of the cars on the roads are Porsches and Astons. Whereas if you go in at ten to nine, they’re all Renaults. Simple solution, then. You want a nice car? Get up earlier and do more work.”
After checking the intercooler pipes and the connections, everything was intact. When I looked under the car is when I found the problem. The hose coming off the end of the intercooler had a hole rubbed in it and later finally gave up and popped. That would explain the low boost pressure and possibly why it was so rich. I never seen it get that rich until I installed this new intercooler.
