And itās back home. What a weekend, what a track and what a car. The car was flawless for its first new outing. I completed every session green to checkered.
I canāt thank @panicmade enough for pushing me to push boundaries and do this ECOBOOST swap. The car is so much more capable.
@technotoytuning making such stout suspension parts. They handled everything I put them through.
@weir_performance for transferring the power to the ground. His components handled the power no problem for such a small third member.
@annexsuspension for making the best coilovers for the ae86. I just wanted to keep hitting that turn 3 complex down the esses to turn 5.
Now I have a list of needs and wants to do. Hopefully I get to the wants list before @gridlifefest
I ADDED A VIDEO WITH SOUND TO MY STORY! šØ
Man what a milestone.
So on Thursday I went to @rudzracing to finally get the ECOBOOST tuned. And man what a relief when the day was done. With @panicmade on the laptop the process was so quick and effortless thanks to the @link_ecu Neo 4 and Marks knowledge. I couldnāt be happier with the results!! 204hp and 232ftlbs of torque! Thatās almost 100 more horse torques over the BEAMS!! And at 2500rpm!! I am just dumbfounded at these numbers. And add to the fact the swap lost weight. It lost about 50lbs. Unbelievable to me that these engines have not exploded in popularity. ECOBOOST and a @link_ecu is the combo! Donāt sleep on these! So hit up @panicmade and get one!!

Man what a crazy few weeks personally. But life moves on and the car isnāt going to finish itself.
The hood actually fits with no spacers! I bought some spacers expecting to need them but nope! Happy about that.
Got a set of these kbd body kit side skirts. They are definitely meant for the drifty boys. Ha! After destroying a set of really nice cby skirts I wanted something that can take some abuse and these claim they can. We shall see. They do look good.
And since the car is loaded up in the trailer that meansā¦ā¦.DYNO TIME!!!! super excited and anxious for the outcome.
Also finally weighed the car. Iāll reveal what it actually weight at the dyno post but itās good. With the BEAMS swap it weighed 2455 with me in it. So take some guess. lol
Have you ever taken your car off of jack stands and forgot how low your car is. I did this past weekend. š. The weather was so-so, so I decided I really wanted to take this for a spin around the block. So I finished some small things and started with the ducting. Then out of the garage for the first time in over a year. Pretty big milestone for me. After taking it around the time I can tell one thing for sure. This thing is going to be crazy. The amount of torque this little engine pumps out is nuts. Next is some more small things and then gotta schedule dyno time.
