I figured we'd start a thread for that separate..looking fwd to it!

Today I added a 5.2" 3.5A oil cooler fan by SPAL

I will compare my logs from the days ahead and the logs from last week and see what if anything I can find interms of temps, its getting hotter every week, so it will be a great analysis!

I will be adding in a fuse and relay, this is justa proof of concept test...have yet to add spade to the ground, cut the brackets excess off, and tidy it up, wrap my crimps, etc

Also I'm adding pics to the first few posts incase you wanna have a look!

Evasive got my pulley from vortech after I made my down payment on blower. Also buying injectors and pump from Dynosty. Where I will get my 93 octane file and e85 dyno tune

[Huehuecoyotl]

Thats the thing, I asked because I finished up the 3.33" tuning with Jeff last week-gave him all my data and he's gonna be working on that final sometime soon. I have to re-up my funds, but in the days ahead I hope to start the next round of test with him. I need to buy some parts to keep building boost tho, hence the delay. This week I got street tires, since the R888 are for track use, so funding is moving out as fast as its coming in. Damn tires are pricey!

Your best bet is perrin, but I dont actually think he is ready to release a tune for that pulley, which is also possibly my next one, tho I may go smaller yet.

The kit comes with a 3.48 and the Vortech or Perrin tune(i've got both) for that pulley is absolutely fantastic 9psi starting point with oe fuel system, you should see pretty close to 250whp on good 91 gas depending on your altitude and other mods. Doesnt evasive sell the kit with tune? You already have ecutek license cable dongle ID etc right?

You can either wait for Jeff to finish the testing on the smaller pulleys @PERRIN may wanna comment? or you can take your smaller pulley to a 3rd party shop and try and get it tuned.

Youre a bit ahead of the market wanting to make 12psi boost! I should be taking that to the dyno around 4/6/13ish...sit tight man, or if you find something to share, let us know. Perrin dont release stuff till its been heavily tested, so I dont know how close he is to release of a 12psi tune for public use.

So far e85 isnt something I've tested myself, and I dont think anyone has yet with this kit. Yet. I plan to.

The guy in Colorado @skatery1989 did end up using E-85 with the small pulley on the old kit. I want to say he was right around 250 whp, but I could be wrong.

Yep, I'm aware of that, but no one has a tunefile yet for 9+ boost levels. Skatery ended up going a different route-higher psi lower redline or something? but I'm pretty sure he is eligible for the same upgrade, so if he upgrades his blower then he'd be the 1st guy who has a tuner doing this for him outside of the usual names that tune for our cars on this forum. There just arent any ecutek shops by me doing 86 work...or I'd be looking at that alongside adding more boost!

Cool, I am interested in playing with E85 as well, let us know how it goes. I really want to get a flex fuel kit, so I am waiting for one of those to be available for our Vortech kit.

I kinda wanna see what I can do with just gas and air first, I'm in no hurry to feel 'done'.
I like taking it in stages, it lets me see things clearly, log vs log n all

109,e85 and 100UL are all just as hard to get by me but available with some effort.

Well I'm not waiting for Jeff's tune on my 3.125 also I contacted vortech they said they don't know what boost my pulley will bring. 12 or 13. But I will be tuned on a dyno dynamics with pump and injectors at @dynosty. Going for vortech frs record.
