Sofie's Turbo Build
#182
Haven't updated in quite a while. The car is still alive and running well. Just went to the track for the last time this year and got a 12.912 @ 107.33 MPH. Hoping for 11s after the winter. Going e85 and turning up the boost. We ended up going to a colder thermostat and plug to help keep out some heat this year. I bought a new torque arm, torque arm relocation kit, adjustable panhard bar, and a few more goodies for black friday this year. The heads are getting pulled and checked over the winter. If there's room for improvement, they'll get worked more. I'm going to order new Cometic head gaskets again, I'm maxing out the Felpros right now.

my goal is 500 hp and mid 11's. the turbo doesn't start to spool running foot brake. converter starts to stall around 3000, its rated for 3600. i don't have a way to datalog boost, but the map sensor is maxed, so its just starting to build boost. hoping that opening up the heads further will allow more air volume to go through and spool the turbo quicker. a ball bearing turbo would have been nice, but the extra cost wasn't. she also got a set of 15x10 race stars, likely running a 275/60/15 and have her in a radial class. she will make a great bracket racer if she wants to do it. looked into running anti-lag or a trans brake, both are out of the question for now
