"The Thing That Should Not Be"
This was a swap that should have never happened, and suddenly in April, a decision was made and the rest is history. Anyway, Swap is DONE! Sadly, we didn't get to dyno tune it today due to a slight glitch, but it's running at pretty much 100%. Here's what was done: JDM Gen II 3S-GTE w/ECU eBay Downpipe Custom 3" Exhaust system from ST Performance (all stainless, pieced together mandrel bends, Magnaflow muffler and resonator) ATS Racing TB Inlet Pipe ATS Racing GM Knock Sensor kit GReddy Electronic Boost Controller Perfect Power SMT-6 Piggyback HKS BOV Whalbro 255 LPH High Pressure pump (whines like a mofo!! ![]() Autometer Nexus Gauges in a Lotek Pod (unfortunately, Autometer forgot to include a power cable in the controller box, so they're not working yet). I left the exhaust setup choice up to Dr. Tweak, and he did us right. My wife and I both popped a huge grin when we first heard the car. Sounds completely AWESOME. We turned up the boost to 15 PSI, car seems to run really well. Down low is nothing to write home about, but at about 3000 RPM the boost comes on HARD and she pulls like a mofo on the top end. Given that there wasn't a dyno tune, how much power and torque do you think I'm putting to the wheels?? Dr. Tweak, a review. Dr. Tweak has been nothing but outstanding during this whole endeavour. His customer service is certainly top notch and he's done an outstanding job with the swap. He was having issues with getting the SMT-6 wired in last night and ended up staying at the shop until 3:30 in the morning and only got two hours sleep before coming back in to get everything polished up. If that's not a testament to his dedication I don't know what it. EVERYTHING works on the car, from the A/C back. Nothing but perfection. Everything was installed where and how I asked, cleanly done. He even installed a couple of "feeder wires" through the firewall in the event we decide to install anything in the future that needs wiring through the firewall. Money wise, his estimation was almost spot on. Due to a couple of unforseen events I had to pay some out of pocket, but nothing terrible and certainly an understandable deal. I consider what we got to be well worth the money, and for anyone even contemplating paying someone the swap, I would highly recommend getting ahold of Dr. Tweak. He will go out of his way to make sure that you, the end consumer, is happy. A TRUE professional. Feedback on dyno numbers please people. I'd love to have an idea of where we're at. Lastly, videos to come. Took a couple today and will download and edit them into one vid when we get home tomorrow (parked in the middle of North Carolina for tonight).

QUOTE(presure2 @ Jul 20, 2006 - 8:24 PM) [snapback]458755[/snapback] dyno dynamics dynos are GREAT for tuning, the load hold capabilitys are awesome. for consistant, comparable #'s, the dynojet is the well known standard. good luck with your project fastbird, i hope tuning goes well for you. with a full 3" exhaust setup, intake and 15psi, tuned, on a JDM ecu, im gonna guess around 230-245whp. i agree. dyno jet is pretty much the gold standard for just WOT dyno numbers that you can compare. every dyno ive seen from a dyno dynamics or a mustang dyno always shows a much higher number then a dynojet . there really isint a lot of power to be gaind from tuning a JDM ecu. it runs very agressving timing and fuel. the real bottle neck is with the ct26... my guess is 230-240ish hp/TQ at 15psi . somewhere in that ball park, give or take 5hp fastbird, if you ever take it to a dynojet make sure to post up the run file. that way we can compare it to the runs that me, manny and jeff did.
