Fml. The dyno didn't go good. The vipec standalone is wired up incorrectly and it is 100% my fault for sending the car to Gabe with it in that manor. Sorry to everyone for getting you all excited. The car ran very strong mechanically though. Wich is a testimant to the skill of Gabe. Hopefully the issue can be dealt with quickly and we will get it back to Tony at Boston dyno asap. Nobody is more disappointed and embarrassed than me right now

Awwww.

well thats a shame, sorry to hear that man! hopefully yall can get that resolved in a speedy manor and back on schedule! good luck!

fixed the problem we will back to the dyno early next week.

cant wait man!, cant wait!!!...

Car is back on the dyno as we speak. All vipec issues have been sorted out and the car is running tip top! Stand by for results

Very cool build. Just wondering, what's the budget for the go-fast mods? I think that's the limiting factor for the rest of us.

The budget is always the limiting factor buddy! You will have to ask trd4life that one. He is still working on finalizing his price for the mp90 sc kit. As far as all the other mods go there is a really good thread on here somewhere that shows every available bolt on aftermarket part for our cars. I can't remember where it is but it's a sticky and maybe someone on here can make a link for us? What I can say for sure is that these kits will be the best bang for the horsepower buck for sure!

i guess dyno numbers were bad...

We managed 242 whp and 260tq with a 2 1/4" catback. Ran a compression test before dyno runs which revealed 120psi across the front three cylinders. The stock motor is coming out this weekend being replaced with a built 3mz hybrid. Then we should be able to get some jaw dropping numbers.

I don't care about numbers on the stock motor anyway.
3mz/1mz GO!!! Hit big numbers Gabe!

impressive!

did you figure out why the front 3 had low compression? that could have been valve timing off

we ended up finding a couple of small headgasket leaks

You've got studs and copper gaskets right? Did the heads lift or flex, or wast there some other issue?
