aLmk's 400whp budget build

[fre$h si]

I've heard that there's a difference between when u run your car at the track and when u do it on the streets with the tune. What makes it any different?

[aLmk]

Yeah Vit and Jay both said its different on the track in my build thread on the 8th. I can tell you at the track I was hitting boost cut, while we were still working on the race gas tune, but I was not hitting it on the street with that same tune. As to why its different, I have no idea! Vit offered to tune me while I'm at the track, we just have to set it up before hand. In order to do this I have to figure out how to tether my computer to my phone for internet, since the track has no wifi, and I also need to know when I will be able to go to the track again, which probably won't be for a little while since school just started. The two week nights the track is open is Wednesday and Friday, on Wednesday I have class 6-9 and on Friday I want to work because that's the money night!

I would assume traction. Your tires can ever-so-slightly lose traction then gain then lose then gain etc on the street due to imperfect roads. As for wireless at the track, I know optimum and verizon have wireless internet adapters for service almost anywhere in the US. That's a possibility.

Does anyone know if my turbo can be changed into a pretty much normal t3 gt3076 by swapping the turbine housings?

Absolutely, what turbo are you running and what manifold?

[aLmk]

Right now I have an internally gated GT3076 on a tsi manifold. I'd like to possible change the turbine housing out for a t3 style and eliminate the external gate and get a different manifold now that something has come on the market

Update: Car absolutely loves these 65* temps!! Too bad boost cut doesn't like it as much as I keep hitting it in 4th. Time for a log...

Going to the track tomorrow and I will be doing my best to break into the 12's. Hopefully the slightly cooler weather helps!

[aLmk]

Was not able to break into the 12's last night. Best run of the night was my first 1, ran 13.5 with a 2.2x 60ft. Only did 2 other runs attempting launch harder (and failing), then my friend that came with me had to go home suddenly because of some family issues and I was his ride so we left early. O well, gonna take some practice getting a hard launch down well, going to try preloading next time out. So far only 7 passes in total with the turbo setup.

Just bought a somewhat complete fuel return setup that I will complete and install sometime before spring. I see E85 in my future
