80Esky who did your fabrication, turbo manifold and intercooler?



Paul Testa at Mr 2600 Racing in Wollongong did all the major fab work and built the engine.

After getting the car home from Small Ford Sunday we sorted out the last of the little issues the car had and street tuned it. Got it on the dyno last Wednesday where it made 377rwhp on 22psi. Has a lot more left in it, but the spring in the wastegate was too soft to hold any more than 22psi.
 
Overall very happy with the results, time to put more kms on it before we put the heavier wastegate spring in and add more boost.
 
Here is a video of the last power run.

Nice one. What fuel were you using? I would be interested to see a dyno plot if you have one?

Were running it on E85 from the pump.
 
Here is the dyno sheet, the blue line was 6psi wastegate pressure on the street tune.

Sorry for the slow response, I tend to forget about this forum these days. Thanks, I hope you are enjoying the car.
 
Damion.

It's been a while since i updated this, since Feb last year we re-tuned the car with a heavier wastegate spring and turned the boost up, car now makes 450rwhp on 30psi.
 
I have been taking the car a fair bit to roll racing, last time i took the car it had a fair bit of attention so much so a feature was done on the car.
 

 
A C4 is currently being built for it, then once that is in it will hit the track.
