Goose's Build
 

The time has come for me to stop being lazy and finally make a build thread.

First dyno I did was at a place called Motion Labs, and they didn't know how to disconnect the front rollers on their dyno. Showed something like 144whp. Can't find that dyno sheet.

Then on 5-3 I had Borla UEL headers installed.

Love the sound of them

Then on the 10th I had the Injen intake installed.

Dyno run with all 3 installed:

When I went up to CT, I stopped in NY, so John @Visconti could tune her. Did an awesome job. When I returned to charlotte, I had the overpipe and frontpipe installed, and this was my final result on the dyno-dynamics.

Anxiously awaiting my Innovate SC, so that I can install it, get it tuned, and see what else she can do. Updates will come as new parts are ordered/installed

edit 1: all my runs are with 93 octane. just FYI

edit 2: Received word from @FA20Club.com that the SC should be in the mail either Monday or Tuesday, so Wednesday or Thursday there will be a GRAND UNPACKING! then install on Friday. :D


edit 3: SC has arrived! just waiting on the map so we can begin the install. but to tide you over until then.....

edit 4: Friend had to go pick his kids up, something happened and their plans fell through, so we're going to be doing the install tomorrow at his work. Also, received tune from @FA20Club.com, and I can't wait to try it out, and start logging.

edit 5: SUPERCHARGER INSTALL! Haven't taken any pics with it on, having too much fun driving it. Now it's too dark to get good pics, though. :(

okay, I took the cover/intake off

Vacuum line that gave he some serious freaking problems. had to wait for john to get there with his tools to help get it out.

Everything off, ready to start putting SC on.

edit whatever # this is: So I went to shift fast today to use their dyno so that I could get my tune finalized.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/...ps1c669e6b.jpg canned tune

so I got the first new map, and there were some slight problems.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/...ps56aa3878.jpg
I was honestly afraid to driver her like that, so she stayed on the dyno. unfortunately, I didn't hear back from the tuner in such a long time, I had to reach out to another, local source.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/...ps575b1f62.jpg
this was the first map he sent me. down in power a bit, but i'd rather have her be that rich, than as lean as she was.

and for my grand finale (for now)
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/...ps7513bd65.jpg
He tweaked his map just a little bit, and we get the final result. 243whp, and 211 lb/ft. and HOLY CRAP SHE FEELS AWESOME!

I do have a 2nd gear pull vid (tach), but it's very shakey, and hasn't been uploaded yet.

and now it is.

Till the next time.


edit Q: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIPMfNRuptc"]Innovate SC dyno tuning - YouTube[/ame]
that wasn't my best run, just the best i filmed. Finally did some more dyno-tuning with remote help from @JuniorAWD, and managed to get up to 255.2

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/...ps5f087ae3.jpg
we estimate about 220 lb/ft, so i am definitely going to need a clutch before i do any more power mods

edit something: got a new map from JR, and now i need a new clutch. :(

edit 11/22/13

edit: 12/1/1/13

Sub'd, can't wait to see the progression!

I hopefully will be getting the Innovate SC from @FA20Club.com delivered soon but I'm still waiting on the map and confirmation of where it is.

Very interested to see what you end up with after having done the bolt on route/tune and then moving to FI...not only number-wise but also livability and driving perception over the course of the build

the headers did make a difference with the torque dip that can be felt by the driver. Once I got the tune, however, she felt like a whole different car. pulled smoother. not really sure how else to describe it, especially since I don't really remember what she felt like stock anymore. >.<

edit: holy crap. posted this an hour ago, and already 80 views.

Wooo finally! that last dyno plot is sick. Can't wait to see the numbers from the innovate supercharger.

Just to make it clear, all the mods you have are Perrin headerback + borla header + a injen Intake and a viscounti 93 tune?

You go to M.R. Performance?

Correct. though 3", not 2.5". Shop ordered the 3" in anticipation of me going FI, I think.


I went to M.R. performance just for the tune. I was passing there on the way up to see my sisters in CT, and it just made sense for me to stop.

On their dyno, pre-overpipe and front pipe, they showed a 195.6 whp.

Can't wait to see the rest!! :D

Nice yea I'd like to have a look at it !! And who is doing your work for you ??

first post updated!

all the work has been done by Shift-Fast, down in rock hill, with the exception of the tune, which John did when I drove up north.

Wow, great numbers for bolt-ons. 93 octane makes a difference....hell, I think I would keep it NA with the great (problem-free) results so far.

The boost will really wake her up though...:burnrubber:

I would keep her NA, but I can feel that she wants more. she told me so in a dream.
