I'm trying to! Wanted to make sure tuning is good before going.

Also, it seems like it hasn't stopped raining in a week. It's cloudy and rains on and off almost every day. Need Mother Nature to cooperate lol

Cyborg turbo, TBE, panda TR6 intercooler, drop in green filter.
245whp 293Tq V-dyno
13.3@104mph

Damn! That sucks man and is never any fun. It has been averaging around mid 60's low low 70's here in MI. Not to bad yet.

Let me explain spring in the north east.. It will go from 75-80 degrees and be beautiful. Then it'll be 45-50 degrees the next day. And it rains randomly. If I can get to the track on a nice 60 degree day that would be ideal

I spent 11 days on a "bro-cation" with my brother in New York city. I'm still upset I left Florida. Lol.

Honestly, I want Tenn people and weather, on the gulf beaches, lol.

First picture of the fiesta, with my old Civic SI in the background. Traded in the civic for the ST

How the car was sitting this summer. Currently stock

BP Racing manifold I'll be using with my Cyborg build. $350 off of eBay. Don't think anybody has rolled the dice on one of these.? I'll be the first to admit, it's not the best quality, but it seems good to me. Can't wait to see how it performs.

How is that manifold working out for you?

 

[frankiefiesta]

I spent 11 days on a "bro-cation" with my brother in New York city. I'm still upset I left Florida. Lol.

Ugh.. New York City is probably the worst place on earth. I have to work there on occasion. It's cool to see the tall buildings and the sights but once you see passed that, it's a shit show. I'd rather stay down at the shore of NJ where we only have to deal with people coming down to the beach on weekends haha

So far it's good (knock on wood)

I did send it to sourskittle to have it inspected and reinforced. They were actually surprised at how decent it was. They only touched up two spots if I remember correctly.

Does it make a difference spool wise? I don't think so. I still see spool 3500rpms on e30, which I think is the same for other ewg cyborgs

Does it make a difference in power? I have no idea to be honest. I'll do another v dyno when tuning is done and maybe I can compare to someone else with similar mods

 

[frankiefiesta]

Just put this bad boy on today. Should have nice, cool charge air temps now

 

[twolf]

Daaaaaaamn!

 

[BronxBomber]

What ever happened to this thread Frankie? Never saw what kind of numbers you ended up with. No V dyno. No new time slips. Just curious.

Sorry man.. Will update it. BIG update coming soon, very few know about what I got cookin

I was disappointed in my time slips. Best time I've gotten is 14.10 just not a great driver, but I'm getting better.

 

[BronxBomber]

I suck at drag racing. I'm more of a road course guy.

 

[BronxBomber]

If you don't mind me asking. What speed did you trap?

 

[frankiefiesta]

I don't have the slip anymore but I believe it was 105 or 106

 

[WeTheNorth]

What numbers did u end up making on 93?

 

[BronxBomber]

I don't have the slip anymore but I believe it was 105 or 106

Thanks Frank. That at least gives me an idea of the power it puts down. One last question. Do you know what time of year it was. Was it cold, hot, cool? It's hot as the Devil's A hole here in Florida.
