Congrats on finally getting that beast on a dyno!

How much boost were you managing to get?

In the first video, the front shot, I think I can actually hear the boost blowing out. Very curious to see what it will do when all is working correctly.

At 439rwhp I'm pretty sure you're already making more power than my car! I suppose I need to dyno mine again soon since I now have a fresh motor.

GL and keep us posted!

KC, I don't know...But it will be corrected soon...Thanks, I was happy too! Long awaited, even though things did not go perfectly, no real problem, and an easy fix to get to see what it is really capable of...Yep, when it was boost cutting on the dyno, it just sputtered...

We will get it there!

Thanks KP! This is the way the car should have been made in the first place!

Thought you were running external gates. Still not bad considering u make doubled the rear wheel hp of a stock 1uzfe. Lets hope the fixed gates can bring u up too 600+ land

Yep, lack of space, but they are large wastegates even though integrated types. I did not know how to adjust them though, and Bullseye just called me and told me what to do...Should be an even easier fix, and quick. So, I will be back on the dyno real soon.

No, not yet.

1) I have to reprogram one of the analog I/O's so that the Innovate AFR gauge will function properly, and I am missing the serial port adapter for it.
2) I have to re-check and adjust the springs on my waste gates as the preload on the springs is too high due to relocating them when mounting the turbos.
3) I have to check and fix the installation of the Greddy Profec B Boost Controller.

Once this is all done, I will get back on the dyno.
