Finally!
602 HP at the wheels.
I have blown many engines to see this result, and I am pretty happy right now.
I don't mind telling you it has been a TREMENDOUS amount of work, and Now I shall force you to endure a complete rundown, because, frankly - all the people responsible for it, deserve it.

Zeitronix datalogger - wideband/boost/rpm/maf/tps/knock(soon)
Large Setrab oil cooler
And of course - all of the COUNTLESS experimental parts that Lart has sent me for a pittance just to help me. Thanks Luis.


It is obvious to see that this was done at relatively low boost (28-28)because of the torque number. I have the head/cam/intake/exhaust flowing VERY well now so I started at 18 psi today and hit 440 RWHP after some timing work.
Also, I lifted a little early on this last run (obviously),but I had pushed my luck enough today and this new engine is very sweet.

Thanks all you guys for coming out today too - it was a blast!

May I be the first to say....

I knew you would break the 600 RWHP mark. That is just insane!! Once again, you have raised the bar with these old cars. I applaud you and everyone involved in attaining this milestone. Cheers to you Tool!

Nice work! Congrats

TRP951

Congrats Tool you have achieved your goal

lart951

Damn, you are the master indeed, I pledge my life to your teachings. Well after today you are the guy who took the 951 engine where no one has been before, you took off where TinyG left, after he couldn't go anymore because of his intelectual limitations, therefore from now on you should be known as Master tool and tinyG, well the california bum white dude wannabe

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! Thats really cool to see!

A couple questions. Why is there a power plateau just above 500hp (is it a function of the intake geometry)? And, why did you choose to piece together the electronics instead of going stand-alone (seems like it would be much harder to tune)?

schwank

congrats ST. Though all of a sudden my VR Stage 2 seems underpowered

Ski

Congrats!!!! Way to go.

The angle change you noted there is where the wastegate opened on that run.

Ski

Told evil that those pistons would get you an extra 13hp.... What did you go with on machined clearance, piston to wall - .032 to .038mm?

Techno Duck

Congrats on the big power Jim, shame i missed it but i happily just caught the start of traffic on the Hutchinson River Pkwy...made it home just in time!

Burma Shave

Now there's something to be thankful for! Way to go.

You have to ask Dave, Ski - I just glued it together.
All I know is, it smoked for less that 100 miles and seated beautifully.

Landjet

Great job Jim. Now when can we buy one of those engines and how much??? Have a Happy PorscheGiving.
