Very cool build

 

Thanks for the support guys! So far things have been better than they ever were when I got it back from a rebuild.

The turbo spools much later than the old 5858 I was on but it boosts steadily throughout the RPMS unlike the 5858.

I haven't given up hope just yet on the Evo platform. For now no tracking though. I'll get the video of it on the dyno posted up as well as new pictures.

 

Wouldn't be an evo build if it worked the first time.

 

That sucks it had been rebuilt again, but at least you still have it and are running it

 

Been awhile, car has been rebuilt again. Now running a 6466 PTE tuned down to 23psi pushing 500whp. Also running Dodsons clutch packs. Once it gets back from its check up finally going to get the steering wheel changed out for the Sparco one Ive had for almost a year.

 

Hi, I do not find this "magic pack" you tell me where I can find the information? Nm max? Hp max? Then I was curious if in automatic mode is finally able to change rpm shift

 

I have the CBRD radiator on my MR and it fits fine.

 

Yeah it is a tad unfortunate, I love the boost being held though, it's such a blast for my father and I to drive. Hoping to get her back before the next event Nov. 1st.

 

Good deal 4-D. I'm glad things are working out for your baby.

 

Thanks man, we're getting there! I'm looking forward to taking her back to the track in december with the new goodies.

Was cool to finally see another X at Sebring. Remember the advice I gave you if you read this; don't build it haha!

 

Got an update on it finally after the car lost power sunday at Sebring; transmission hose was leaking. Parts are being replaced as well as removal of fire mat that was saturated with oil for gold heat tape, also doing a catch can for the transmission, and ducting for the coolers and the turbo manifold.

Had two good sessions, still learning to drive the car as it has been a long time since I have been on track.

 

Deleted.

 

Nope no room under the hood so its run back to the trunk. I would honestly have been surprised if they could cram it in there and have it function properly.


And thanks Navy, it definitely is helping me sleep sounder lol.

Not much left planned so I'll just continue using this thread. Will update pics on the first page as things progress.

Thanks guys for all your support!

 

so yummy, makes me happy seeing this kind of stuff. race car shit makes me sleep good.

 

Something's not right. Is the blue canister the Accumulator? I thought it would be in the engine bay....no room?

 

Here are some pics of the system, not too exciting looking lol. Also threw in a pic of where the meth kit nozzle was welded to the UICP for anyone who wanted to see that.

 

1 and 3 are kind of hard to do in FL right now lol. Its always hot.
2. 80-90 at hot start/2min idle.
4. 70-80 10minutes while driving around.

When we have a normal temp day Ill let you know what they are, believe its around 70-80 start/idle and the same 60-70 while driving.

The pressure drops low at idle after I have been driving it to 19-25. Nothing to worry about just what it does. Lowest they said it should go is 16 and that'll only happen on a hot track day at the end.


And thanks you guys! Im glad to be up and running again too lol.

 

Hey 4-D is back in the game. Good to hear. Good luck buddy.

 

Happy your back up and running man!

 

Finally back in my car. We increased the size of the pistons, ditched the old block and crank, the crank having been damaged from rod knock. Added the Moroso Baffled oil pan and an accusump oil system so hopefully no more issues at the track. Also reworked the AEM meth kit into the UICP, so now I have less power, but one map that is actually safer than the two map setup I had before.


I hope the issues with my car will help them in the future with other builds. Overall I'm very happy with the outcome from PRS and I would recommend them to anyone else in the central FL area.

 

Dude, post some pics and details of the Accusump system. How does your oil pressure vary between the following operating conditions:

1) cold start, first 2 minutes in idle
2) warm start, first 2 minutes in idle
3) cold start, 2nd minute to 10 mins while driving around
4) warm start, 2nd minute to 10 minutes while driving around

Any extra info welcome.

 

Hopefully this week or next. Can't wait to get her back and start modding her again.

 

You ever get you car running right?

 

I've been told by multiple people the baffled oil pan is a band-aid solution and what the car needs is a dry sump oil system.

 

Any serious track car should have a dry sump system technically speaking. All Porsche cars come with it for a reason. All things considered, Porsches are VERY reasonably priced.

 

Y not just weld a baffle in oil pan

 

Those cars are death traps. They are not for the faint of heart or talent. If you wanna go RWD, I would recommend starting with something slower. Perhaps a Boxster.

 

Agreed.
