Thread: VE+t swap project ...REtuning with ALKY injection soon

I have run 20lbs on it ....but since it runs pump we have kept it around 18lbs to keep iut safe due to a 9.3 to 1 compression ratio ....the water meth should help me run quite abit more ...I have never really tried to run more

1st off- holy $hit. period. you sir have a beautiful thing going with that car. so fresh, so clean, so sick.

2nd- i can only say that i have been away from sr's for the last 8 years modding volvos. the fellas in that arena generally bump up about 50hp at the level your at with the addition of W/M inj. just FWIW.

i just spent the last hour or so reading the thread in its entirety and it has been very fun and informative. that you for doing big things for our camp!

if you guys would like to talk about trans for a bit i would really appreciate it. i plan on sitting around the 300-350whp mark, what would be a long lasting, not to expensive option for my trans?

thanks in advance.

Thanks alot it has been several years to get it to where it is ....I love this car alot , as for trasmissions I have a worked over b15 box ....it works great , but some are going the 6spd route and having great luck ....I like my stock apperance ...the 6spd doen not alow you to keep all the trim around the shifter and such ...so I intend to stick with the b15/P11 boxes for the time being ....till a better solution is out there to keep my console the way it is ...

i intend to take a heat gun to my center console and get fitment how I want it. I refuse to drive a car with no center console!

u ever think about going with e85?

do you guys have E85 out by you?

There is one place about 15 miles from me that has it right now ......but out in OR. where I am going it is 150 miles away .....so I just dont think it is the right dirrection curently ...E85 does not store well ....I would have to keep a few drums on hand at home to make the idea work out there ....I just can not do it ..

do you regret going with the higher compression being limited on boost?

No not at all ....I like the response the motor has , I have thought of going down to 9.0 to 1 and boring out to 90mm to gain a broder powerband but I am making around 500whp on pump at 18psi ,and it runs great ..we have ran the car at 20 and 22 psi and it was fine except for a little breakup on top ...we gapped down to .025 and it went away ...plugs looked fine and knock was fine ...I guess I just wanted to keep it safe and run the 18lbs ....I hope to be able to pull off 25lbs on the water meth ...and make a solid 50+whp gain on the local mustang dyno if I can keep traction , I have had problems with that before ......

you should be good to go at 25lbs with the meth.
