HP sn95 Turbo Kit install & Engine Install

What were you running for boost and what HG did you have on it? Hoping I'm pretty safe at 10 psi with cometics and a fairly rich tune, no detonation that I can sense at least

wow, what caused that, too much boost?

 

Re: HP sn95 Turbo Kit install & Engine Install

Just wanted to post an update good and bad

Got around to replacing my exhaust gaskets and found a couple of spark plugs loose.  Got everything back together damn header bolts took me hours.  My car now is ridiculous.  I have yet to floor it, but blow the tires out in 1st, 2nd and 3rd when I get on it 10psi     Kumho ecstas 275 on 10.5 inch rims

I am getting used to it, let my older bro drive it since it was his old car, told him not to get on it in 1-3, he gave a little too much in third and fishtailed out of control, drove over the median and trashed the wheels and caster camber plates. 

Just reordered an afs wheel package with 315's sumitomos HRTZ to try them out, also upped my shock setting to 8 of 9 to stiffen it up.

What do you guys run for tires and LCA's to keep the wheels down, I need to invest so as to protect my car since I got real lucky with the minimal damage from the last incident.  I was looking at the MM or steeda LCA's. Maybe some AA rated tires like Nittos or BFGs?

I should have some dyno numbers soon if the snow holds off, can't wait!
 

 

Re: HP sn95 Turbo Kit install & Engine Install

I had the steeda LCA's and never liked them. If you're going to buy any suspension pieces I highly suggest Maximum Motorsports, they make top end stuff. I am running the mickey thompson drag radials and I have NO traction issues at all.

 

Re: HP sn95 Turbo Kit install & Engine Install

yeah I was leaning that way for MM LCA's. I like their products, Kmember brace, subframe connectors and CC plates.

 

Re: HP sn95 Turbo Kit install & Engine Install

Just as an update, i'll be getting the head gasket fixed within the next couple weeks then I will post some more pictures of how I did some changes to the P/S cooler, the new rad, the battery relocation to the trunk and the snow performance stage2 water/meth injection kit!

The compressions is probably 9.5:1 to 10:1ish, I didn't mean for it to be that high but it ended up that way.  I'll be getting the thickest cometic head gaskets I can so hopefully I can drop the compression down to at least 9:1.  My boost was around 10lb's, until I get a stronger block I won't be pushing much more boost as i'm getting married this upcomming spring and I afford a dart/r-block.

And finally a graph of the dyno. This is before the head gasket swap.

Re: HP sn95 Turbo Kit install & Engine Install

As n update for me I got my first pull Sat. 449 HP/459 torque t about 9 psi no complints here other than I mxed my maf at 4,500 rpm and I tuned to go pig rich when it ws maxed I think its got plenty more so a bigger maf is on the way and hopefully pull down the boost for the same levels

 

Re: HP sn95 Turbo Kit install & Engine Install

Pretty interesting thread

Did HP changed ownership since?

I'm ordering my kit on monday, Tom told me six to eight weeks before i get it.

 

Re: HP sn95 Turbo Kit install & Engine Install

updates

 

Re: HP sn95 Turbo Kit install & Engine Install

Update for 05/17/06

The car is still tore down, waiting for the cometic head gaskets to arrive. I estimate I should have the car up and running in 2-3 weeks. I've added a 2-step so I should be able to build some boost at the line. This year i'll be getting 11's!
