I bet a stout clutch and a LSD will make that a whole new experience

This question could go to DSM or the guys from Ramey. Would running a different intake manifold (eagle one for instance) help in a turbo application like this? And what else would you consider changing to run a setup like this at altitude(CO) or would it simply be a different tune?

The VERY short answer is yes.

To actually get DSM's attention, PM him and set up a consultation scheme/payment! I believe he has done several FI builds that had to contend with altitude...

Whew what's up with the bad spike in air fuel above 6000 those numbers are getting in serious trouble range.

Any codes after you put in the flywheel?

Not sure why it spikes like that on the chart. He probably let off the throttle. Took the car for a drive and the only time it leans out like that is when I let off.

No codes from the flywheel, the only issue I have right now is the stock o2 sensors are faulty. So we disabled those and ive just been watching my afr gauge.

Di they do any internals upgrades(springs,retainers etc)? Just wondering what the long term reliability of this application would be?

no internal work done. i am only at 9 psi and i do not race this car, just the occasional spirited driving. the engine should be good for a while.

Nothing has changed with the car other than suspension. Eventually I'll invest more into the block and a little on the head to see if I can push 300 then keep it there for a while. I have a first gen crx that I spend my money on now.

Yeah I noticed that the pictures quit working a while ago. I don't have the pics from the build and the guy that ran the rblyfe.com website doesn't work there anymore. Next time I'm at the shop I'll ask about the pictures.
