dam daw sounds nutz

 

Sounds like a beast that's just can't wait to be unleashed!

 

I get to pick it up on Sat.

 

I was told today that it was 450 RWHP and 380 lb of torque. Apparently, it takes 6-8 months to make a custom belt and so it will be hard to go to a smaller pulley. Sam is going to try to use smaller pulleys before I pick the car up on Saturday, but no guarantees. I had hoped for 650 BHP.

 

The Torque numbers is not BAD, however it good be better as for the HP I'd expect a little Bit more! How much Boost (PSI) to achieve those numbers?

In all I hope your final tune shows better numbers?

 

Is this with any other modifications or stock everything else?

 

Very Good Question..^^^^^^

 

That is with Motordyne ART pipes, Stillen exhaust, and a lighter flywheel. I have my fingers crossed about some better news today as well. I haven't seen my car in 6 months, so I was hoping for a little more to make it all worth it.

 

9-11psi. My understanding is that there is more power to be had, but the belt situation is what is really holding it back. I put on on an Aqua-Mist meth kit as well to be able to make maximum boost without detonation.

 

Interesting. Let's hope those belts get figured out soon so that powerhouse of a twin supercharger is released. Hope to hear good news soon!

 

I just got off the phone with Sam and got some clarity. It is at 480hp now and about 360tq. However, that is on 91gas. He thinks he has a way to get the smaller pulleys and on Meth it should be over 700bhp. I'd be totally happy with that. I will update the thread as I know more.

 

A little clarification. The car made 480whp, 360wtq on the first pull. In my opinion this is very good results for a new system on 91 octane and on a simple base map. Keep in mind that the ultimate goal right now is to stabilize the car and make sure that everything is functioning correctly. The system is far from done. So far all we have is about 7 - 9 dyno pulls since we are looking into VVEL lift variation between bank 1 and bank 2. This VVEL issue is definitely separate from the Twin Supercharger as the system is very unobtrusive and the VVEL system is not touched during installation. Also, having a VVEL code means that the engine is not running properly and is not ingesting air like should.

Right now, our main focus is ensuring that the system works properly and that this VVEL code is resolved. Once that is taken care of, we will be working on getting the power and torque. For now, that is not our primary concern.

Methodical and logical. I like it.

 

Good to hear Sam! Waiting for you guys to work the kinks out and get a fine tuned product (like always). You'll be hearing from me when you do.

 

Update:

After spending the majority of the day checking the entire system for the cam timing issue, checking engine oil pressure all the way to pinout testing of the ECM. The only thing left in the system is the valve control solenoid. Everything is pointing to a failure in this component. Unfortunately, this solenoid is located behind the main supercharger bracket and will require the complete removal of both brackets to get to it. Below are a couple snapshots of what is happening with the solenoid. The one that is labeled "No Good" is the car we're working on. Notice how bank 2 solenoid voltage is flat lining vs. the "Good" one that is from a properly working car for comparison.

Once we get this resolved, we will continue with the tuning.
