Well after not having my car for around 8 months during the build I have finally got it back drove it home from the tuners last night and it feels great, (cars on a extremely tame run in tune for a 1000k's or so)
Now that I have the car back I can update the thread more often and share it with you guys in more depth as well, now to start ticking off all the small little things to do

And here I thought it was black! Looks great in that colour and a relief to be at the tuning stage.

Been a while since i’ve Posted here, have had the car on jack stands for 5 months in my garage custom doing pretty much everything with some mates.
The car is now running a link g4+ ecu with flex fuel (e85-98)
Boot mount cooler setup with twin fans, watersprayer and a scoop under the car to get the air in (intake temp hasn’t exceeded 30c yet)
Running a gtx3582 with a .63 rear housing so it spools up quick thanks to falcons creations in America, can’t recommend him and his products enough!

After a long 5 months she was finally ready for the dyno and we made 240RWKW because I maxed out my top feed 850cc injectors at 14psi

All that’s left to do is upgrade to some 1500cc top feeds so we can make well over 300+kw hopefully and maybe put a set of cams in it, does anyone on here have any experience with different cam setups that work well for that power goal?

Such a clean build. Well done!

You will definitely need cams as the stock ones will hold you back. I've used hks 264s for a 3S build that put down 320KW at the wheels. I know another 320+KW build that uses hks 272s.

What direction is the air flowing through that intercooler? Sounds like you are pulling it from underneath? Where does it exit the boot compartment?

I think with degreed cams, E85 and higher boost (higher than what 98 will handle) you should be around 360-400KW.

I achieved 320KW with a Gt35r at 20-21 psi on 98 fuel with 264 cams.

Yes in a discussion with my tuner he said the current setup I have is good for close to 400wkw with the right cams and injectors, other than that everything is ready to rock and roll,

The air comes through the boot floor through a scoop under the car I fabricated, (the two fans are pulling air also) and all the air escapes directly behind the intercooler through my reverse lights which are now a black mesh. I am thinking about making a clear box on the top of the cooler to guide the air coming in directly out the back but the IAT’s are consistently under 30 degrees C so I might leave it alone
