Niceeeee, cant wait to see what you are going to do, and the numbers you will achieve, goodluck

 

So were you able to get that car dyno'ed yet?

 

Yes, on a Mustang dyno the car with *just* the Protomotive ECU made 471 AWHP and 486 AWTQ (!) Once the muffler is installed next week we'll re-dyno, and then comes the headers & Protomotive-modified turbos.

 

Hey ben that was on 100 octane right? Good numbers anyways! did you try on 91? The biggest issue with these cars seems to be the darned gas as usual.. Even going between 91, 93 etc...

 

Yep - I'm lucky enough to have a local station which sells it straight from the pump No point in dropping $140K on a car an then skimping $2/gal on gas.

Looking at other protomotive ecu dyno graphs, I'd say the 100 octane boosted midrange torque a bit, but did little/nothing for the top end. Makes sense - max cyl pressures will exist in the midrange.

 

Cool figured as much 100 make such a big difference. Drives me crazy that we have to use 91 out here. I live pretty close by as well but not all of us are that luck to have a race gas pit stop:P

 

Ben,
Whats the WORD on your turbo??? Are we still on for little GTG next week??

 

Ben how's the car runing?

 

The upgrade project has had a 10-day delay for a most unexpected reason - the shipping company which transported my 997TT from Boston to CA when I first bought it, appears to have used the jack points to tie down the car. This process literally ripped one of the jack points (the rear passenger side) *off* the car. Rather than trying to rig up something to safely lift the car, I opted to order a factory jack point and have it welded back on before proceeding. The jack point had to be shipped from Germany; it's now in the states but has not yet arrived.

So... there's a pause in the upgrade plan, but nothing serious. I expect to have the exhaust installed & re-dyno'd by middle of next week, after which the turbos come off and the real fun begins

 

Sorry to hear about your setback...out of curiosity which transport company did you commission??

 

And somebody stop me... but I sense some kind of shoes on the horizon:P

 

Yea sorry to hear about that man , BUT the wait will be worth it haha. BTW what did the car dyno stock, Todd's ECU is no joke!!!!

 

The transport company was recommended to me by the dealer -- Herb Chambers Porsche (who, by the way, I do NOT recommend -- the car arrived with some damaged parts which they promised to replace and have not). The company was Chip's auto transport.

 

Vicious lies and slander.

I'll get pictures this weekend if you & Euroelites can get the wheels mounted without that jack point...

 

- you can send the boyz over to pick up the wheels tomorrow PM. Ze truck has left SoCal and will be making a stop at our place before lunch
