1point3liter's Twin Turbo LSX FD

Congrats man, that's awesome!  When I saw it on FB I was hoping you weren't going hide the numbers.

I debated not posting the numbers on FB, but kinda thought it was cool with a pretty much stock motor.
Its not like i really race anymore other than these 1/2 mile events anyway.

Wait .. what did I miss? Stock motor? Thought you had a built bottom.

My old setup was a built ls1 with single turbo.
This setup is a stock L92 with twins.

I have most the parts to assemble a built ls2, but it isn't finished yet.

I finally got around to reinstalling the pump on my T56. The Tilton pump was a little large for the available space so I ended up using this reverso scavenge pump. I think it turned out pretty well. I forgot to take a pic with the exhaust reinstalled but clearance is good.


So today i swung by Northern Tool to pick up a dolly for my 55 gal e85 drum. $260 later I ended up with this. 



The car slung a wheel weight so last week i had the rears rebalanced. While on the balancer, we noticed the green dots on the tires didnt line up with the valve stems. We put new marks on the tires to see if they move. Noticed this today. ...alrighty then... the tires have been mounted for over a year.  lol



I've been dialing the car in for next weekend.

1st is workable, but after the half, i may revamp my boost control. Zac keeps saying that once i try c02, I will never go back. I may see how well I can make it work with the Infinity.

2nd used to be worthless. It's pretty much where I want it now.. I still get a little wheel spin, but it's light and predictable. I can run it out to redline no-lifting without short shifting. Mr Shultz approves 

3rd is pretty close, but I'm still balancing the line of how much boost vs traction control correction.

My rear tires move a little more than that every track day. I swap sides to get them to move back.

Gotta love when it's done enough to start dialing in the detail work.    Gotta say I'm jealous of a running, driving fast car.   I don't even remember what fast feels like anymore.

This thing is all sorts of stupid fast at 10psi

can't wait to see this thing.

That is a ton of power.  Hope that its the little stock short block that could, and holds together for a while. How do you like the infinity?

Switching to the AEM Infinity EMS is one of the best things Ive done to this car.

Boost by gear and traction control are pretty much necessities to keep the car use-able.
The Infinity accomplishes both of these tasks very well.

Logging is top notch. Log files are called "sessions" and they incorporate your entire tune.
When you open a logfile you are essentially looking at exactly what was going on and exactly what the configuration was at the time it happened.

I also have the Infinity EMS setup to log directly to a usb flash drive anytime the engine is running.
I dont have to get out a laptop if I want to go log a run or look back on an unplanned run.  I just drive the car and when i'm done I can download the log data to my computer same day or even days later.

The software is well layed out and it's easy to use.

Speaking of traction control, here's what happens when its really cold and the traction control can't keep up. 

This was a failed attempt at a 60-130 pull.
! No longer available

That is how I feel driving in the cold with my worn MT UHP's...

[1point3liter]

I made a couple 60-130 passes tonight and managed a new personal best of 5.137
It's still not a 4 second pass, but I'll take it.

 I'm starting out not far from 60mph and I'm outside my powerband so im pretty confident there is a good bit of room for improvement.
After the 1/2 I'll wire in the horn switch for rolling launch/antilag and give it another try.

Wooooo
