What are your IATs with no intercooler?

Well.. Tomorrow the car has to be offered for it's annual approval and I although mostly concentrating on part-load and emissions I think I have a pretty nice tune ready now. Max boost is near 11.5 psi. and at the higher end there is really something happening. Mid RPM feels strong but not impressive when used to turbo engine's which show instant torque but nonetheless this is by far the fastest NA 850 I have ever driven.. :lol:

Still need to adjust the blow off because it is fluttering. IAT's stay near 110 degree for the most part but a longer duration 4th gear WOT run well in to the 6K RPM showed a rise in temperature to 130 degree which is to much so an IC will be mounted in the near future. Next week will be suspension week, that is if the parts come in in time.

After that I hope it will look more like this,

Wow, Johann.... Impressive project, by far the most impressive I've seen on here.

Any more pics of the interior, overall engine pics, etc... ?

Thanks!

I will post some more pics after cleaning up.. ;)

Let me know. People have said that both KWs and sways is just too much. I'd be interesting in trying it if it works for you. If it doesn't I'll buy your sway bars :lol:

My grey 850 is using KW V2, which use the same springs as the V3, in the front and also has the iPD kit fitted. This car has lesser weight and I like the ride very much. I did change the rear setup on this car though. I also changed the rear on the white car because the springs do not work well with an empty rear. This red car still has the rear bench and stuff fitted, only the trunk is empty.
