Almost 8,000 miles and no burning oil, a little bit of lifter noise (but who wouldn't have that at 205,000 miles), and the tranny is still holding strong.

I borrowed some things from a friend that he has to wait for some money to put on his car.

Switched to JWT ECU, 370 cc injectors, Disco Potato, z32 maf and retuned:

5 psi: 151 whp/146 wtq
7 psi: 168 whp/159 wtq
10 psi: 214 whp/191 wtq
12 psi: 228 whp/208 wtq (Trans started slipping)
14 psi: 237 whp/ 214 wtq
18 psi: 258 whp/221 wtq

at 18 psi we had maxed out the injectors and the FMU and the exhaust was a major restriction. I also just about fried my transmission. It was really lean (13.7-14.1). I would not recommend trying this.

If you compare this to Wes's car you can see what a difference the headwork makes.

I've decided that I want to continue the work on the GA just to see what it can do with pistons, rods, etc. I want to blow up the engine in style. I'm also going to do an auto/manual swap.

GA16 does not have lifters.... Could be timing chain. I am curious to see the dyno's and what they look like from this second setup. What ECU did you use with the Z32 MAF?

As you already know the 370's and fuel pump are maxed where your at....

The other thing is that 7 PSI on a T3/T4 is different than 7 PSI on a T25. Do NOT think because he ran 7 PSI that it will work for you as the larger turbo will move more air.
