Well, I've had this beauty for almost a year and half and have enjoyed every single minute of it (well, except for that Bilstein fiasco...but I digress...). I've managed to keep her stock power-wise, always wondering what a little more power to an already phenomenal car would be like....well....I'm going full monte. Car is in the hands of the EVOMS crew in Tempe to get some 'tweaks'. Contacted Ian with the original intention of getting the 650 kit. Somehow, I was convinced to invest in the 700/720R kit......wait a sec....775? What the?!!?!? (yes, Ian, I truly hate you)
The 700/720R kit includes
• EVOMSit ECU Chip Switch - Utilizes "On The Fly Switching" with 2 X EPROMS
• EVOMS / SRE Stage 3 Clutch
• EVOMS High Flow VTG Turbochargers w/ Billet Compressor Wheels
• EVOMS ClubSport 44.5mm Exhaust Headers
• EVOMS ClubSport Intercoolers (charge coolers) w/ Silicone Boost Hoses
• EVOMS High Flow Silicone Turbocharger Air Inlet Ducts
• EVOMS Billet Turbocharger Boost Recirculation Valves
• Gaskets, Hardware & Installation Components
I already have a BBI Stage III exhaust with 200 cell cats which I plan on keeping. I may lose a touch of power running the cats, but I'm sure I won't notice.
The 775 upgrade includes
EVOMS ClubSport High Flow Silicone Turbo Air Inlet Ducts
EVOMS ClubSport HED Ignition Coils w/ Denso Platinum Spark Plugs
Bosch 83mm Throttle Body with Larger Intake Plenum
EVOMS Lightweight Billet Underdrive Crank Pulley
EVOMS EVT775 Software Calibration with Optional “Dual Mode” Chip Switch*
Porsche / EVOMS Vacuum Line Update Kit
Porsche Fuel Filter
In addition, getting stainless steel brake lines and a desperately needed brake fluid flush for more stopping power as well as the the GT2 slave cylinder conversion, which I have been waffling over for the last year. Trans is coming out anyway...so, I thought what the heck
Aside from the BBI Stage III exhaust, power is stock...for now.
Had a nice chat with Todd Z. regarding the dual switch and goals for the race map.
My original intention was to go for 'pump' setting and a full on 'race fuel' map running pure MS109. My thoughts were to maximize power output of the bolt-ons using the highest unleaded octane available. But according to him, 94 would essentially max out the power gains of the upgraded VTG's (i.e. MS109 would provide a good safety net, but wouldn't yield any appreciable gains over 94). Ah well. Guess that saved me a ton of $$ in race fuel
So, coilover goes back on Monday, dyno tuning starts Monday/Tuesday. Car back in my hands next week. WOOT! Stay tuned....
Car in the bullpen waiting for next week. Todd Z. checking out the car
Sharky made a guest appearance from NorCal and was with Todd in the car making pulls.
Didn't get to stay for too long, but apparently something was amiss with the car. Inconsistent power and pulled timing = bad gas? (pump 91 and a 'splash' of 100 (Todd's words, not mine)
Decided to let the car sit tonight, drain the tank tomorrow and give her some fresh MS100.
One of several pulls that night (sorry for the crap iPhone vid)
Erratic power output and pulled timing yesterday. Something wrong with the car or the fuel. As Sharky alluded to ^^, Todd smelled something amiss with the 100 octane they put in yesterday. To take the fuel out of the troubleshooting equation, plan was to drain the tank and fill with MS109.
Car strapped on the dyno.
PIWIS hooked up to activate the fuel pumps to drain the tank
Emulator hooked up and ready for tuning
John and Ian filling the tank with pure, newly opened VP MS109
After figuring out yesterday's results were from bad fuel, Todd mixed some pump 91 and re-dyno'd. Didn't catch those but was told the power was essentially the same.
Comparing this to the baseline dyno I originally posted, gains were approximately 220 awhp and 210 ft-lbs of tq
