Well, me and P'cola FD made the 9 1/2 hr trip to Pettit this past weekend. They are

great people. Cam really knows his ****, especially tuning the E6K. They had several 3rd Gens there. One Banzai with .3 miles on the engine, and a Silver Base

with 25,000 miles that looked brand new! Candy's 2 rotor race FD makes like 700hp and has a turbo on it (no ****!) the size of a small pizza. I didn't make as much power as we were expecting. Im just happy that the reconstruction is over with, and nothing broke. The clutch was slipping a bit. I didn't have time to swap my stock clutch out for my new ACT s/s. Im going to go to a local dyno after I get it swapped out, to see if it makes a diffrence. The power started falling off at 7400rpms, I guess we should have went larger on the ports. Anyways, I don't have a scanner to post the graph. But here are the numbers. I'll try to post the graph when I get around a scanner. I will say that the graph is the steadist I have ever seen, no break up at all.



Max rwhp 289.0 at 7300rpms



Max torque 235.6 at 5100rpms



Avg A/F 11.6/1 no higher than 11.4/1 during boost



Boost was pretty steady at 11.5psi



Air intake temps were 102 climbing to 120 during the runs

That's good to hear man... have you ran it against any other fd's (manual) I can see your happy. do you think there's still a difference with your manual and a factory fd manual..

rotary speedster 06-29-2003 12:29 PM

I have not ran against anybody yet. Last night was the first night that I took

it to town and was able to get on it. Im sure as soon as P'cola FD gets his

broke in we will be lining them up.

As for telling this diffrence, its according to how much effort you put into the

swap. I had alot of other things going on at the same time. So i still have the

auto center console with no shift boot and I did not switch out the gauge cluster,

which I have been able to get working with the Haltech anyways. But, everything

else is the same as factory.

what do you mean by that?

blaze08 06-30-2003 01:30 AM

So how much did you end up paying for the swap in total... any pics? and did you also end up changing the differential because the gears are different.
