1996 MX-3 RS... soon to have MY BP! (X to 56k)

[FE3-323]

.78 A/R housing but twinscroll.... are you sure the twinscroll is correct port-turbine?

[therieldeal]

yeah there is something majorly wrong there... people have trapped faster than that with a stock GTX.

when i was running 15psi or so, my VERY first pass at the track, i missed 2nd gear twice, stuffed it in 3rd, and ran like a 17.2 at 105mph. turns out my shifter was actually hitting my exhaust... but regardess you probably get my point about the trap speed

[deadly_sleeper]

I pulled a 13.8 and trapped 103 with the little vf10 on the gtx ecu. does everything look right in MS and on the gauges?

[Lex]

That night the track was slow ... I will say that. Lots of humidity didn't help things. However I do agree something is amiss. I was pulling on Jon pretty easily and he had more boost on a bigger turbo. The MS seems fine, AFRs are good, no spark missing etc.

We'll figure things out when the winter passes.

that's just crazy. nothing about it makes sense. the turbo is brand new i assume? timing? i dunno, you're far better at it then me.

i hope you get it figured out after winter. would be cool to see it put up some fast times.

The blue font is killing me...

Does he have a wideband to give facts?

Any mechanical oil pressure gauge?

All he talks mabout is psi and thats it... where is the dyno sheet to see the powerband Hp and torque wise???

"GT3071R... twin scroll... in all it's glory!

It's freakin' huge!!!..."

14.5... burrp! LOL

[forever_imports]

LOVE it! Gorgeous build. Definitely gives me something to aspire to! =D

Yup I'm sure... you mean how one side takes in cylinders 1 & 4, and the other takes in 2 & 3?... what's the firing order 1, 2, 4, 3?

Holy Crap, I haven't been paying attention to my thread... haha!

I do have a wideband... that's how we tune it with the MS2.
I also do have a pressure gauge and it's got plenty of good pressure... I think I hit almost 80psi when WOT.

Yeah yeah, I cheaped out on the dyno this summer... I'll get one done this spring/summer... just dyno's up here are rediculously priced for a couple of pulls and no tuning.

I also have a bad tranny that for some reason is still running... since the middle of the summer I drained it to find a grey metal soup and teeth off some gear, which looks like the diff gear... but it hasn't blown up and it still runs, so I was trying to blow it up at the end of the summer but nothing.

I've got a Kia tranny that I'm going to throw in the MFactory LSD... HEY!?! Do you think that the tranny is holding me back?... with the missing teeth on the gear that it's not giving the right ratio or missing a couple spins with the missing teeth?

I'll take some pictures when I drop that tranny and take it apart to find out what went boom... oh yeah it had a MSP LSD.

I think you should re-do your exhaust manifold. What is your redline? @ what RPM you are seeing full boost by? Good luck with the G-series, I think you should do the E153 swap. It will save you headaches!

[Shades]

Redline is at 8000rpm...
Full boost about 5500rpm, I'll have to check in the Spring.

About re-making the manifold... haha, no thank you.

[Shades]

Oooo... weather has been so good, I might insure the car for a couple of days!!!

[mx-3_4evr]

where the hell do you live in Canada that doesn't have snow by now? Here is MN, we are getting bombarded by 18"s of snow right now lol I did that during November, but I did 6 months of insurance. So I got insurance till March, which is useless lol

[Lex]

West coast - we mostly see rain.

[mx-3_4evr]

Lucky! lol
