thats not bad at all but a lil leaner would probly help u out like around 11.6-11.8 i would say....how did it feel?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

it honestly felt like i had wings. i just couldn't believe how fast it started to pull. can't wait to get this tuning down.

mind you i'm still on stock compression.

didnt u buy new forged pistons?? why didnt u go 8.9:1 or do u plan on running meth?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

forged yes, 8.9:1 hell no i like my torque, and yes meth is in my future.

and if i changed compression i could no longer say i own a 2.2 it's a small thing of pride for me.

im 8.9 but ya man i cant wait till u can get into it full throttle its nuts...i did a nls on 25 psi at full boost and it was scary haha i was feeling lucky and under peer pressure cause im glad my tranny is still intact

yep, i'm on the slow road. just gonna take my time getiing to my meth. i'd like to see some numbers before i get heavy with this build. vince just sent me an update this morning after my cruise, lol. i'll be waiting til later to check it out.

Try telling that to Vince or Term. They will tell you otherwise.
It's lean, but Vince said it looked good where it was at.

why would you no longer be able to say you were a 2.2 if you had 8.9:1 CR?
8.9 still provides plenty of torque and allows you to have more boost which is where the power is at.

8.9 is just fine. I know I still got tons of trq just gotta dyno it.

hey gents didn't mean to step on any toes. over the years i've always been asked if i own an SS and i have taken pride in stating that it is in fact a 2.2. to be honest i'm sure the 8.9 drives fine but i absoultely love my car as is. wouldn't change it for the world. not worried about how much boost i see. i just want to have fun with my ride.

Tundraboarder666

My toes are good! I just don't understand why it wouldn't be a 2.2.. It's still a 2.2 unless you bore the **** out of it lol And it will always be an L61 no matter what

you are right my friend. just got done going for a joy ride, had a bit of fun but i'm not liking 10psi.

iTrader: (12)

why not?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

it just doesnt feel proper for a built engine. it's like she's asking for a little more boost........i don't get it.

kxrida2000

iTrader: (12)

throw it some more boost

06_ion2

What clutch you got?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

i'm clutchless dude

06_ion2

My bad, trani cooler?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

i'm gonna bump to 14.5 and then get a boost controller later. no cooler.

if you run the trans too cold it acts an ass when shifting.

06_ion2

you could use a 8 to 10lb spring and then turn it up to 14.5 with the boost controller. Just dont try to boost more than doubble of the spring psi.

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

i was gonna run the grey/gold springs for 14.5. i think that's pretty safe. the bc later would only add maybe 5 more with meth.

06_ion2

You know of a flow chart for this turbo anywhere? Tried googlein it but tons come up, not sure what ones correct.

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

nope, is there one available. bullseye has a chart on their site but i don't know if its the s256.

Tundraboarder666

Keep your tranny in mind though too. I have a small tranny cooler and was doing some WOT pulls with my friend against his CBR 600RR and It was I could tell it was lagging on the shifts cause it was getting hot. How much would 14.5PSI put you at to the wheel? Keep that 350WTQ in your head.
My friend with the CBR600RR was very impressed I was on his rear wheel every pull. Then I told him I can't wait for 25PSI and he went online and started buying stuff for his bike hahaha
