**** UPDATE - 1/20/08 ****

Well I finally was able to find time to take apart the car to see about the rear manifold. I did crack the rear manifold. ONe of the welds split all the way around. It was from running too rich. It most likely happened after the 2nd or 3rd run. I ordered a new one from ZZP and should be here tomorrow.

After that, my new custom exhaust get done and the roll cage goes in.

Then re-dynod and then the track in April.

________________________________________________________________________________

**** UPDATE - 11/24/08 ****

I went to the track yesterday. First time in a year and a half and also with the new setup (bigger turbo and A2A IC). It was a nice cold day. It was the last day of the season at Etown. Track prep was so, so. I spun everytime off the line. Even when I tried to ease into the throttle. I had the slicks set at 13 psi. I should have lowered them to 10-11 psi. I know for next time. I was pulling 1.8 60's everytime.

Anyway, my first pass of the day was an 11.76 @ 116.34. I was VERY RICH on the top end which was giving me KR. My WB gauge was reading 9.9-10.1. I also was maxing out my MAF sensor. I had to use the AFC to adjust the fueling. My idle and cruise was perfect. My LTFT's locked in at 0.

After the A2A IC upgrade, my wife and I had a baby which gave me no time to go out and do WOT runs. Plus it's hard on street tires and hard here in NYC w/o getting caught.

After 5 runs I finally got the top end leaned out and got the WB reading 11.4-11.5. I ran a best of 11.57 @ 120.01mph with a 1.81 60'. Boost was set at 16lbs and timing was 16*. Had 1/4 tank of 100 oct and the car weighed 3602lbs. Also had the cutout open. Car has a lot more in it.

Thank God for my friend who I was updating during the day. He kept me calm and patient. He was telling me to fix the fueling issue first before raising the boost up which I was dying to do so bad to run faster. I also kept in mind what Matt (ZZP) told me when adjusting the AFC. Adjust the AFC little at a time. I also couldn't go too crazy since I don't have a roll cage and being on lifetime probation with etown, I didn't want to cause any problems. ( Here is the link to that, http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/fb.asp?m=2672913&key=almost+banned&language=single)

I will be putting in a roll cage this winter. This way I can raise the boost up and not have a problem. Plus a better 60' (my best was a 1.67) and if I lose the 20 lbs I've gained in 2 years, the car will run much faster. Hey, my wife is a great cook.



THE BAD NEWS
I either blew a rear manifold gasket or cracked the rear manifold. Cracking it sounds right since I was running very rich causing detonation in the manifold. I don't know which pass it happened since I had the cutout open all day and didn't realize it until leaving the track.

**** UPDATE - 8/24/08 ****

I just upgrade from a W2A IC system to an A2A IC system. I installed a Treadstome Peformance A2A IC - Core Size, 12" X 22" X 4.5". The piping should be done by tomorrow.

I also made and installed an intake spacer out of Phenolic material to keep the spacing between the UIM and LIM.

I also installed a Flex-A-Lite Electric Fan for the tranny cooler.

PICS ARE NOW ON PAGE 4 !!!

**** UPDATE - 7/21/06 ****

Well after 4 1/2 weeks of preping and installing, the new ZZP Stg2 Heads, Meziere Electric Water Pump and ZZP Stg2 Turbo Cam. The car feels INSANE!! I can't wait to tune it and hit the track. You can see some pics on page 4.

**** UPDATE - 7/21/06 ****

I'm in the process of upgrading my heads and cam. I'm switching them to work better with the CT turbo kit.

I also made a custom cool can for the trunk to help with cooling the IC coolant even more. Check out pics on page 3. It was pretty easy to make. I can't wait to test it out.

**** UPDATE - 3/26/06 ****

I went to the track on 3/25/06. I have more good news and bad news.

Bad News:
On a bad note, something went wrong with my tranny. On my 4th run after my launch I had no more gears and had to criuse the reast of the way. All I can do is rev the engine. All I had was park and neutral. This problem could have been a cause of all the shifting problems I had or it could be something else. I dropped it off at a tranny shop I'll get an update on Monday.

Good News:
My 2-3 shift problem was fixed. Some things had to be adjusted in the PCM.

My new PB is an 11.85 @ 114.60 with a 1.75 60'. I was at 17lbs of boost. The car felt strong. I was on the lean side on the top end so I need to adjust that for the next time out. I was more happy about my shifint working then the new PB. Don't get me wrong, I had a huge smile on my face. The next time out, I'm going to hit the gas harder off the line next time out. I'm doing little at a time till I get used to the turbo.

Time slip is on page 5
