S'mores anyone?

Sweet build and numbers. Congrats!

 

That's awesome.

 

UPDATE: It's been 2 weeks with the car back home, and the ear to ear grin hasn't left my face. So far I've put ~800 miles on the car, I simply can't stop driving it. Everything has held together great and the total package far exceeds my expectations. I've yet to fit it with ethanol and try the highest map (I'll save the first time for the track in 2 weeks).

He's a little teaser a friend shot at a LDW BBQ this past weekend

 

cant wait to drive it!

 

Totally digging the Freddy Krueger theme song. Glad you are enjoying it, can't wait to see the results from the 1/2 mile.

 

Some new updates are coming for the 2018 season a la AIM Performance and Emre from ESMotors!!!

Call it Pineapple Express V3.1

 

Nice, keep us updated.

 

If you are talking about my silver 996 Turbo that Garth tuned it made 785 whp with stock rods on e85. Not sure exactly how the pro EFI computer works but I took the car out when it was 28 degrees and the computer showed 1003 whp with 742 torque.

 

Great power but your rods are on borrowed time . With the power and most importantly torque

 

 

Ok, so here is the grand revel.

To sum the updates up, the car went back to AIM Performance and was switched over from ProEFI to Syvecs. The tuning was performed by Emre of ESMotors this time around. While it was back, the car also got the upgraded transmission installed.

While the car will see highway pulls and events, my priority is streetability. No surging, no odd quirks I have to work around, I wanted every function and every button to work again (never got quite there w/ ProEFI).


In the picture below:

• Red = 2018, Syvecs, E74, Tuning by ESMotors at AIM Performance
• Blue = 2016, ProEFI, Ignite E85 (race fuel)

• Huge increase in area under the curve
• Peak HP is the same, but peak TQ is up by +170 TQ
• Peak power is now reached ~1200RPM sooner, and holds fairly steady through redline
• Until peak HP is achieved, TQ is always > HP
• On pump 93, the car still makes around ~700HP

I've yet to drive the car myself, so I'll update with impressions once I pick it up.

 

damn, i was convinced you sold that sucker. Will be cool to see it back in the neighborhood.

How you liking your w220?

 

Nice improvement!

 

that's a BIG difference, the old dyno always looked lazy to me for that turbo size.

 

At times I thought the same thing lol, but it'll be back in a week or so.

The S55 has been great, its a fun cruiser (albeit a few little quirks).
