m-rod's 99 GTZ

[Bring380GT]

nice!
1) get rid of that 3.0L valve cover ASAP!
2) I wonder how lean you're running? I know on my 6G74 I had an AFR of about 15.0 in the low end (scary) when I dyno'd at RRE

Wow that's crazy! I get on my wideband mostly 13.2 with throttle added I get a 12.8 that's with the 72 injectors and no tune (RICH)

[M-Rod]

Repaired and repainted the bumper as a temporary fix last night. Then took a few pictures of the Galant and my brother's 1993 Audi 90.

So today I was at the Car Craft Summer Nationals at the MN State Fairgrounds. It was a pretty good time, didn't do much other than sit around and check out some of the cars in the area where mine is parked, but I'll be there tomorrow again since entry is for the whole weekend and I just may finally get it on the dyno. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the car from today.

Are you tuned yet man?

[M-Rod]

Not yet. I've been looking and another emanage came up that I might pick up.

[SPD_FRK]

Damn dude, you really need to figure out something soon. You have been driving this thing for a long time without a tune. I am sure that what I am about to say speaks for others as well, but for your sake I really hope you dont blow this motor man.

[M-Rod]

Just got off the dyno and put down 214.78whp and 225.84wtq. The dyno sheet and vids should be up later on this evening when I get home. All I can say is the torque curve is amazing and pretty much just a flat line in the 210's and 220's.

[beam514]

dang that's pretty good for no tune. So the mods would be 6G75 swap, 5 speed swap, headers, intake, catback?

[M-Rod]

Yeah pretty much. Except the catback. It's just a 3G GT OEM muffler.

[M-Rod]

Met up with polishmafia after the Car Craft Nationals. Took 2 pictures of some TGCMN goodness.



Last but not least, the dyno sheet from earlier today.

[bsilver23]

so then did you get tuned? cuz idk how else you were able to get dyno'd without a tune

[4g63lover]

He can get baseline dynos without any type of tuning whatsoever.

Numbers are impressive ESPECIALL since it is NOT tuned yet. can you imagine how much power it will make once everything is running at optimal efficiency?

Seeing yours, Adrians, and Matt's cars makes me wish I had a V6.

[polishmafia]

Good seeing you, Matt. The car sounds like a beast, and is damn quick!











And here is why we met up. ASA short track racing! Woot! It was a blast.



There were some ministock and figure 8 races too.

[M-Rod]

It was definitely a good mini-meet. The races were great!

Which leads me to this, tonight's purchase. 2001 Galant ECU. Time to figure things out and get this swapped in so I can flash to a proper tune. Let the ROM headache begin.

[beam514]

Let the ROM headache begin.

sigh* I'm not too excited about the tuning portion either lol

[keith6110]

very nice purchase for sure!

[M-Rod]

very nice purchase for sure!

The ECU was only the beginning. Yesterday I bought a Mini HP laptop for the car. Then today I purchased the Tactrix Openport 2.0 cable. It's getting closer to a tune finally.
