Default Got my turbo SC3 running, quick video
Just got my car running and put a decent tune on it. The video is not very long, it's just inside/outside shots of hammering in 1st and a little in 2nd gear.

Car is on low boost, just off 1bar spring in the wastegate right now for pumpgas (14.5psi)

VIDEO (1.7mb)

Lol at Oil Light.

Car sounds good. What tranny are you running, it sounds like it was slipping/hit the rev limiter.

oil lights are overrated... something about removing the factory ecu and wiring harness made it freak out...

I'm using a TH400, and yeah it was on limiter.. it's presently set at 8000, I'm going to up that about 1000 tonight to help keep it off.

It's time for cutting out the wheel wells, bolting on my 28" bfg's, and adding 20 more psi...

Indeed, nice run.....Are you really pushing it on a cold engine? or is your temp gauge out?

It's a GTE head on the GE block.

The only two things that work on my instrument cluster are Tach and Speedo.

It's a 98 black/black

and I will prob replace the temp and fuel gauges with aftermarket coolant temp and trans temp gauges, depends how motivated I get.
