Took the Neon to the Dyno...

I had video but for some reason the file is currupted. So here are some pics.

We figured why I was having problems boosting.....I installed the FPR in the wrong place. Once that was fixed we were pretty good. Over all I hit 263whp and 215.5wtq at 15psi. I'm pretty happy so far. My computer is holding me back. Half way home I granaded my clutch I think....kept have problems getting into gear. No big deal, just something I need to fix. I guess while I'm at it I'll change to a 355 tranny.

Well let me know what you think!!!

Finally!
Were those the numbers you were expecting?
This is on a 2.0 SOHC correct?

where is the proper place to put the FPR then. I'm doing a turbo build on a 2.0 SOHC R/T engine? Nice numbers by the way!!!

Yes, its the SOHC.

Now that you have it running right you can put MS in it. Then when you have to do emissions you can switch back to the current setup.

Personally I'd be pissed about those numbers because of the amount of money that went into that motor.

esteinmaier made like 30hp less and 35ft-lbs more with a much simpler and cheaper setup.

for 50k, that hp sucks... no offense tho. I expected higher numbers.

I understand that 50k is spent in your ENTIRE car, and not just the motor, but i was expecting it to at least break 300whp. I imagine with a better tune you can hit higher?

I'm a little upset with the numbers, but like I said my factory ecu is whats holding me back right now. Once I order my MS I'll be closer to the 300whp mark. The other issue is the turbo. The S16g is max'd out at 350hp, so when I get and install the gt3076r I'll easily get the 400whp that I want. Again, the ecu and turbo is whats holding me back right now.

On to the FPR. I had it installed like so:

gas tank - fuel rail #1 - FPR - fuel rail #2 - gas tank

Now its installed like so:

gas tank - fuel rail #1 - fuel rail #2 - FPR - gas tank

On to the $50K Neon.

Its really only about $30k in parts for the whole car + $20K for the car when I bought it new.

The car is built to handle alot more hp, my current set up doesnt support the hp the car has the ablitiy to make. I spent all this money and did it right all arond the car so any upgrades would be just a matter unbolting one thing and bolting up another.

263whp doesnt = slow. Thats alot of hp for a SOHC street car.

USCC 08?

Have you thought about using the "disco potato" everything I have heard about it was excellent with great power for the street. I think it even uses the standard flange.

i think you spend about a 1/4 of that 50 grand on carbon fiber accessories for your car. haha

Damn From starting at low 100s I think that its pretty impressive, The amount of money put into it is another issue but sounds like with a diff ecu and ms you should be way up near what you want.

Nice to see the car running Joe. 300whp shouldn't be that far off in the future.
