Where's that at? You are local to Springfield mo, right?

BoostedC3

About 20 minutes west off i44. Yes local to springfield, mo.

Nice. I assume they do LS tuning? I always have people asking me who to take their cars to and I don't trust anyone local.

BoostedC3

I don't know. I pay Scott Clark to tune my car and only Scott Clark.

I'll keep this short and sweet, the local tuners I know are all complete junk, couldn't idle a car with a cam to save their life.

I understand that, I'm in the same boat. I had bad luck with local tuners so I started tuning my own stuff. I am not willing to tune other peoples cars, so I don't have a good recommendation for people to get their cars tuned.

Been a while on updates, figured I would fill you guys in after today. We have been busy fighting a ton of issues. On the dyno we melted every plug wire and vaccum line, also had a leaking cylinder head with water coming out of the bolt hole.

We relocated the coils under the car, dei wrapped everything, and added turbo blankets to fight heat issues. Also put heat shielding around some vaccum lines. Fixed the cylinder head and had her back together in a day!



Next fixed the brakes, got alt charging, put in led headlights, and get her street ready. So we took her out for the 5 minutes of no rain we had. Was a blast! Boost scared the **** out of me and I sucked at my first ever burnout, but it will come with time!

Nice work! There are always issues that seem to arise. Did you get it re-dynod?

love this build

BoostedC3

We have not. Hooking up the 2nd fuel pump next weekend, along with the led lights and brake lights, and then going back to the dyno.

Think the IAC broke again cause the car is idling around 1500 rpms again. Before the issue was the IAC wasn't calibrated, luckily the MS3 Pro makes it so easy to test the IAC.

Really want to see what these gt45's are capable of. I'd like to try them on a 2800lb race car but 5.3/243's and truck intake. With the right converter and cam I think it would work if not a little 50 shot never hurt nobody!

What does the cam specs look like?

How do you like the Glasstek hood? Fit, weight, construction?

BoostedC3

Loved it and would buy it again. Weight is incredibly light. Fit was amazing except for the the corner by the windshield had to be trimmed.

The biggest issue is they are so god damn heavy. Especially in twins, I'd try any china turbo besides these first for weight considerations-thats a lot of heft to hand on a pipe.

BoostedC3

I agree 100%. I am building a c6 single turbo right now and looking at every other turbo but the gt45 lol its a heavy sob.

coltboostin

It literally weights more than my buddies GT55 and its half the size of it LOL. For $180, you could not beat it 8 years ago when I purchased it. These days with the GT42 turbine wheel copies out there, it'd be about last on my list.

BoostedC3

Were looking at the s488

Whatever became of this car? Get it dyno'd again? Racing it yet?
