Any update on the car Bauer?

 

Actually, yeah, kinda. I've admitted that the 928 is completely monopolizing my time and now I have an E55 AMG too. So, I've made an appointment to have the 5bar installed next week!

 

progress is nice.

 

Cool

 

Ill add to this thread, Ive been running a very similiar setup, almost identical to Bauer with the addition of the 5bar FPR , Sambo MAFless file and all the bolt ons with stock turbos for over 4 months now, car runs amazing and pulls very hard for stock turbos. Definitely happy with the results and obviously a big thanks to Sam@ByDesign for all the help!

 

I'm running a slightly watered down version of this setup. I don't have IPD plenum/TB or y-pipe and I'm running 100 cell cats. Still pulls VERY hard for stock turbos. Ran 11.6@123mph on street tires last week with small boost leaks from both intercooler inlet hoses (both have since been replaced). Also, big props to Sam@ByDesign for awesome support and tuning.

 

Are you running filters on turbos too?

 

Yup Also forgot to mention that my stock waste gate actuator adjustment nuts are rusted bad so I can't tighten the WGs at all. Seeing .9-1.0bar instead of the 1.1 that we were looking for.

 

Wow, and you still ran 123?! With boost leaks too?! I'm running a solid 1.2 bar, no cats and all the other supporting mods and people think I'm crazy when I say I wouldn't be surprised to see 130.

 

my client in Ohio Cory rose ran 123 mph on a stock car with exhaust and clutch only. Only other mods on 93 octane is the above with my tune.

 

I think I'm going to pick up some 1 bar WG actuators. Will go back in the Fall. Wouldn't be surprised to see 125mph with some more boost. Better conditions would help too. It's was a little over 70 degrees and a bit of a headwind.

I'm still on the stock clutch too. Holding fantastic.

 

You were the one telling me I'd be lucky to see 121 with my setup!

 

We need that boost to hold vogs. I see 125+

Keep us posted Bauer. 130 is pretty damn fast but not a bad goal!

 

Resurrection time…after reading thru all of this, we have zero closure. 5 years later, what the hell was the result??

 

I thought he dynod and made near 500 at the wheels or something. Whatever it was the mods worked and he was able to get really good power out of those k16's.
