So when are you gonna push that supercharger a little harder. Fuel pump, 550s, header, 10psi...... RACE GAS.

Ouch... Let us know what part of the tranny failed when you get it apart... Always nice to know where the weak points are...

Jealous? You can have a Ronin 4.5 too, just call Frank!

charliex · 10-06-2008, 11:40 AM

here's the sheet, this is a dyno run after the steady state, and before the street tune.

charliex · 10-06-2008, 11:46 AM

overlaid.

kaz · 10-06-2008, 12:10 PM

Holy crap that's a land based missile - good to see it's on the road again, Frank will need his widebody now more than ever.

BTW Since people always seem to get confused about dynapack numbers and how they are labeled , those are 'RWHP' numbers, we could have broken 500RWHP but it'd have been followed by a lot of other broken things too probably and 450RWHP was the target.

The car does run really smoothly, no idle issues, driveability problems, and no lag and all with the stock ecu running from a wideband O2 sensor.

FLuXeXigeS · 10-06-2008, 12:48 PM

^^awesome!!!

kaz · 10-06-2008, 12:51 PM

I don't care what dyno those numbers are from...his land based missile is going to haul some serious booty. 400, 450, 500 who cares it's WAY north of anything a regular S or Cup sees and makes all sorts of amazing noises (I love wastegates). Great job Charlie...can't wait to see it in person. If I ever get a second street-use Elise I think I'd go for a monster turbo like this - I can't even use the supercharger power on the track this would probably get me killed lol.
My Sti will probably see 475-500 after the next round of fun, but that car weighs 3300lbs. Can't even begin to imagine what that would feel like minus 1300lbs.

MaineLotus · 10-06-2008, 01:19 PM

Great numbers for sure. Last time I drove my elise it was stock, 170whp

. Very anxious to finish my car, hopefully before snow fall.

Can I assume from the dyno charts that the second cam is still set to come in at 6000 RPM? Any plans to lower the trigger point? If not, what's causing the power dip between 5k and 6k RPM?

you could, but you'd probably be wrong

Looks like 5500ish from the dynos... Charlie can move the cam shift to where ever he likes. Ulitmately, it depends on where the car makes power and where Frank wants the change.... in this case, it looks like ~5,500 is the answer...

Best,

Phil
