The stock 05 evo build has begun

[Mellon Tuning]

btw, just placed my order for the HTA86 turbo

well I didn't meet my 10.99 @ 130mph goal but I got half of it...first a few issues:

1) the slicks wouldn't bead up so I ran bald street tires...lots of spinning
2) the tactrix cable died the night before so I couldn't change the tune on the fly
3) the wb02 died on the way to the track

I just couldn't catch a break but I knew the tune that I last did was solid for 31-32psi so I decided to just go out and have some fun for now.

I made 4 passes and aside from the aborted one each of them were 130mph so I was really happy with that. Not bad for stock ecu/mas on 93 octane in a completely full weight daily driver. The car is exactly how I drive it to work every day!

1st pass - aborted

2nd pass:
60 1.93 pedaling it spinning
1/8 7.45 @ 99.81
1/4 11.28 @ 130.12 (man if I had the slicks!)

3rd pass:
60' 2.01
1/8 7.6 @ 100
1/4 11.41 @ 130.37

4th pass:
60 2.04
1/8 7.75 @ 98.15 missed 2nd
1/4 11.59 @ 130.49 power shifted the 3-4 to make sure I got my 130 again lol

sweet write up, great job!

[Mellon Tuning]

thanks dwai, hope you found it useful

watched the in car video...nice!!! Whats your rev limit now?

[Mellon Tuning]

still 8500 for now, my tactrix cable went belly up so I have a new one on the way. I'm planning on setting it at 9k soon.

[Mellon Tuning]

ok, so I've been testing with power shifting (no lifting off the gas to shift) a little while I was taking a break at lunch and the car just feels crazy fast now. So I'm at home now and got curious to see how that would translate with the g-tech since it's always been dead on with the track.

so my previous best 1/8th mph lifting to shift was 101 after several attempts and power shifting I got 108.63 on the very first try. The previous best 1/4 mph was 130 after several attempts lifting to shift and and I got 134 on the first try which blew my mind but get this....I hit the rev limiter in 4th about 100ft + before the finish line whereas normally I JUST cross the line and then hit the limiter. It felt like an eternity riding the limiter. I usually pick up 30mph from the 1/8th to the 1/4. That pass had the potential for 138mph??? That would be crazy on pump gas though the stock mas/ecu.

too bad my replacement for the broken tactrix cable still hasn't come from evoscan.org or I would have bumped up the rev limiter to 9k and gave it another try.

Mellon-

If it's going to be a long wait for the cable, I'd be willing to ship you my dusty one to borrow. (I'm running AEM now).

[Mellon Tuning]

that would be cool of you E because I have no idea when the evoscan cable is coming and I cold always use a spare. shoot me a pm with a fair price and I'll give you my address.

thanks bro!

video I posted on www.racevideoforums.com in the Memphis section

turbo formula on slicks and skinnies, full roll bar, parachute etc... runs low low 9's at 150mph+ My lil 4 banger evo on straight 93 octane through the stock ecu/mas wore him out

[Mellon Tuning]

out of the 11 second club and into the 10's

60' 1.68
1/8 6.78 @ 107.66
1/4 10.41 @ 135.13

93 octane, stock ecu, stock mas on bfg drag radials on the 3rd attempt and I called it a night, that's good enough for now I still didn't have my logger cable so I couldn't adjust the tune and it's pretty rich at very high rpm so there might be a little more in it with that and a better 60'.

I'll edit video tonight most likely, in car and out car

Congrats on the run.

Damn your G-tech was right on. Which G-tech do you run ? I think I need to grab one asap.
