Procal nets little to none. Custom tune will be your only option.
Bov doesn't do anything for power
Also Highly unlikely to get 400whp on 93 without blowing it up. Potentially on E85 if the injectors can flow enough.
Built turbo will likely be necessary.
Got this kit installed from the dealer. Need to get the driver side adjusted, as it won't roll all the way up now, air leaks. The rattle has 90% been solved. Wayy better, but not perfect.
I agree, we need 5.0, everything about it. I gotta say though, with the bov vented to atmosphere and the muffler deleted, the 2.3 has been a blast.
She gained soul the first time I clutch kicked her down to 2nd for a tight corner and let er eat. Now her character develops deeper with each...
I'm not even thinking of power. I'm primarily thinking temps and volume. More volume=less resistance or pressure, helps keep in/out temps down.
It's been proven time after time, a larger turbo can make the same HP with less pressure, due to more, cooler volume. The same goes for intake airflow...
It's because of how the system loads up with the weight and soft suspension. I drive myn like how I drove my diesels.
Foot down, accelerate, bring right foot up to point where your rpm won't increase or decrease anymore, now load is off, clutch in, feel synchro, into gear.
May seem like a...
So we have 3" exhausts, 3" downpipes. I may be ignorant, but aren't we still being choked off at the S pipe that connects the downpipe to the rest of the system?
Anyone have any plans for a bigger unit there, or is anything preventing that?
I've only had my 2.3 fan kick on once or twice in my 3 years of owning it. I bag it a lot. Upgraded fans likely unnecessary.
I never see coolant temps rise. However the egt/turbo gets cookin when I'm hard on her.
I'd do in/out piping and intercooler for iat/egt's before ever touching the...
I agree with this. I hate other people working on my sht, but we gotta hand it to the mechanics out there that take pride in their work. A new long block is a sign of that pride and ownership.
Plus it's not a short block, so it's really just accessories that are the worry. Modern engines are...
We need a trans company to make a dog box replacement. If I'm going to have a rattly grindy randomly wack shifting trans, I rather it be because racecar.
1st builds boost, just not as much as higher gears.
With stabilitrac off, and a hard launch, I spin in 1st, heavy shift to 2nd, she'll let out a nice pop with some minor spin.
In the rain, it's easy to bust loose n drift corners in 2nd.
Badlands specific 33's, 4.7 rear, no tune, normal mode.
