MARK 99STS Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Well the long awaited day came Friday when we fired it up for the first time with everything hooked up. We worked on it all weekend doing some major tunning and minor tweaks here and there. We still have some minor tunning to do but, the turbo works and the car is runninng good:D We have not done a WOT yet as we want to make sure all our fuel trims are good. It's still running rich so we need to pull some more fuel. We took it out today and did some data logging and hit 5lbs of boost for a short burst in 2nd gear and it pulls REAL hard. Freakin AWESOME!! When the turbo spools up and it makes boost, it sounds like a JET. I've got my slicks on it now and I got on it a little in first gear and it blew both tires off without even trying. Jim feels he may have to revise his estimate feeling how hard it is pulling. He now thinks it will do over 400HP at the wheels. I've updated some more pics on my web site. I'll keep you updated on the tunning. http://www.markonemtg.com/marks99sts/id3.html MARK 99STS TURBOCHARGED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
