bout 5 millimeters, ha.

It's the size of the inlet on the volute. Seems to translate into 100whp for me.

It may have experienced some slight misfire also.

Ted.

Ted, is there something in the log screen shot that leads you to believe there is a mis-fire? I'd love to continue working with you remotely, however its proving impossible to collect data at this power level and having traction issues. Wish you were local.

I thought mis-fires identified by dips in the 02 sensor voltage when WOT.

I was talking about the dyno graph, and function of a Spark RPM pickup, I said (May have) without looking at any data other than the screen shot of the dyno graph.

Ok thanks.

Gotcha. What’s your end goal?

That changes every day. I'd like to run 9's with the manual and still be able to enjoy driving on the streets. (stock axles, poor 60') I think once the car is retuned on the G4-100, with the larger 207mm crank pulley, and this new trumpet intake, I will be at the comfortable limit of the K1 crank. I'm assuming it will make another 100-130whp. This is way too much power for the street. I'll be saving that tune for the track. Then I'll retune the car myself with the 110mm sc pulley and filter in place for street driving. I'm hoping that will lower the power to around 900ish so I can get some traction on asphalt.

I also just ordered the front Double Adjustable Strange coilovers to help transfer weight and stop the car from unloading the rear tires.

From what I read.... No end goal. Lol

Lol, call it a short term goal. "End" sounds so permanent.

So if you are into that classical whistle of a big centrifugal supercharger, ESS now offers a straight cut gear option to any of their G series head units.

They sent me one to play with and it's quite noticeable. Have a listen for yourself.

I tried to get a video driving down the street, but the whistle sound does not come through in the vids. In person though, its much more noticeable. Sounds very similar to a turbo spooling up. Noises are cool.

racesloth · 02-22-2021, 10:18 AM

Sounds like my YSI - I get the turbo sounds driving around, it is pretty cool.

stevieturbo · 02-22-2021, 11:35 AM

Yep, sounds like a YSi.

It's not so noticeable for the driver inside, but quite loud outside.

RupertPupkin · 02-22-2021, 01:18 PM

Louder the better...

That sounds amazing!! I will be ordering an ESS setup here in the next month or so and will be looking for this. I like the whine haha

eLeSthree · 02-22-2021, 02:58 PM

Its nice to have to option. My other video titled Magnaflow x pipe has the regular version and its much quieter if thats what someone prefers. I like noise. Hence the twin tial 50s.

My gopro isnt cooperating or id get some footage

eLeSthree · 02-24-2021, 03:41 PM

I am a total GoPro newb. This is my first attempt at a video, lol.

I just love the sound this thing makes. As you can see, still have traction issues. Cant even floor it in 3rd. Mostly just cruising so you can hear the blower.

stevieturbo · 02-24-2021, 04:13 PM

One thing I never did, was get a video of the belt/tensioner working on mine. Always meant to try though.
