Damn, the dyno sounds awesome

 

Really nice Sov, she's soooo damn smooth!

 

i just read all 11 pages and this is amazing cusotm built tranny like that is reeally impressive me, custom gears to stay in boost all the way through 4th haha, thats just awseoms Sov cant wait to see the final results of it!

 

Well, anybody can stay in boost if they know how to drive. I can until the car hits redlin in 5th gear.

 

my bad Rem, didnt know [&:]custom building that tranny like that just seemed impressive

 

No offense Remmy, but that's a rather ignorant statement.

First of all, you're on a Greddy kit with a Bseries and S20 trans, of course you're not going to fall out of boost between shifts. You spool early and you have much tighter gear ratios than a stock Dseries.

Second of all, when you full spool at 5000 in 4th gear you will fall out of boost with a stock Dseries transmission and 7200 redline. Simple gearing dynamics, the car will fall to 4500rpms in each shift whether you have a lightning fast shift or not, there is no way around it beyond increasing the redline, regearing the transmission, or both.

 

Ok guys/girls, install of the new engine starts on the 18th of May. Should be done shortly after, and then I think on my birthday (May 25) I'm gonna hit the dyno and do some tuning... we'll see if I have race gas available for that or not.

But anyway, it's going in that weekend.

 

Cool Sov, I can't wait to see this beast on the road.

 

sickk
i guess ill return from ottawa to see some cool stuff on HCF

 

Looks like a really cool build. I'm wondering how much the build ended up costing you all together? I'm thinking about doing a build with a B18B but I'm not sure how much it will run me.
