Dyno success, 301 whp stock block
Been a few years since I last had the car on the dyno. Pretty happy with the results!
GT2860RS at about 15 psi, BEGi log manifold + separated gases stainless DP, 2.75" to 3" straight pipe, MS3/MS3x, LC-2 wbo2, Toyota COP's, Koyo 37mm radiator, ACT stage 1 clutch kit w/ Prolite flywheel, turbosmart kompact bov, 550cc ev14 injectors from BEGi, DIY intake from siliconeintakes.com, DIYautotune EBC solenoid, closed loop boost control.
Had the turbo setup on for about 3 years or so now, still on the stock engine, trans, diff. Replaced the driveshaft once because it was squeaking from the u-joints. Currently have 175k ish miles, and is my primary vehicle. Could ask for slightly quicker spool, but I think it is the way it is due to the larger .86 turbine housing I have on this potato.
Will post a video in the comments when pops uploads it.
note: it was a dyno day at a local speed shop, hence the goofy file name.

I was at about 260whp for a year or so, been tweaking things here and there to get where I am now. I think I just got lucky with this motor... I even have a fully built, forged internals, ARP everything engine with 0 miles on it on a stand in my garage but hesitate to swap it over due to the lack of troubles this engine has given me... I had doubts my stock engine was going to last long so I started building a replacement. Several thousand dollars later, it still sits on standby.

Thanks! Just wondering tho, you run huge injectors, rods, e85, etc, what holds you back from cranking up the boost? I kinda figured when I get my built motor in I was gonna run 20+ psi with some bigger injectors... almost makes me second guess the making of that 2nd motor I have, like is it worth it at this point?

I do have set up a 3rd boost setting on my EBC that I've been tuning in for a dyno day in a few weeks. I don't really plan to use it much, but definitely planning a 20psi glory dyno run.

That is going to be awesome... please let me know how that one goes!
I've been seeing some 6 speeds pop up in the 550-$600 range here and there. If I find one locally, I may jump on it just to have...
