first weekend with the turbo

[SpyderWolf]

Been lucky so far
Good situational awareness and radar detector

Good deal. Have fun, ryde hard, but stay safe as well. I want to ryde with you again sometime in the future. :thumbup:

 

[altonk]

For sure
Looking forward to it

Someone wondered who the first SE5 turbo was and that was me. I went up to Kansas City and they installed it for me.

They had to modify a few things including the pipe mounting bracket and the oil catch can. Had to machine the can to be narrower and taller because they had never seen how much room the automatic transmission takes.

Except for the air filter recently falling off somewhere, it's been a great new addition.

I am wondering about mileage changes you have seen. The best I can seem to do is about 23 MPG which is a good 10 miles less than before.

:roflblack: Are you still able to get good insurance rates? :roflblack:

Trust me guys... never, never NEVER tell your insurance broker or company about all of the "enhancements"... (been selling this crap since 1978!)

 

[altonk]

My mileage is down too
The fuel mapping is not accurate enough to run lean enough for good mileage at cruise

 

[altonk]

There is a lean spot under light acceleration and moderate load but no boost. I'm adjusting the boost to come in earlier and that spot should go away. Then I should be able to back off on the fuel at cruise and get some mileage back
I'll let you know how it works out
But 10 mpg is a small price to pay for warp drive lol

I don't think that ANY of the NCC 1701 ships even got 10 mpg... :roflblack:

10MPG is tough but its a price worth paying. I got 6 MPG out of my '69 Camaro, but I also had 625HP at my disposal with NO lean spots! I didn't mind much...

 

[tweeder]

I think the 10mpg they're talking about is the difference between before and after and not the new total mpg.

 

[altonk]

Yep

 

[Dochands]

I'm going to call Andrew and do some tweaking with him on the phone. What I truly wish is the controller had a couple presets.

Then we could set one profile for daily use and one for those what the hell I don't see any cops days. :clap:

 

[altonk]

I hear ya
I ordered a k&n filter that should fit and their dry charger cover

Yeah I guess that would make sense! pps: Either way, who cares! It's a turbo! That is just a sweet setup having a pretty much bolt-on solution spin up that fast and have no turbo lag. I bet it's fun! :2thumbs: I still think punching out the core would be fun also using the big-bore kit but would most certainly void the warranty! I'll just do what I can with what I have. For now! I'm not done playing yet! hyea:

:agree:

I am going to do what I can with what I have as well, until I get much closer to running out of warranty.

Yeah man, when warranty runs out all bets are off! But thre are still a few things I can do now to squeeze a bit more out of her. She's not too shabby now!

Ultimately what I would LOVE is having a sixth gear. I don't see that happening any time soon though...

 

[1spydercat1]

Yes have fun but be careful. I know how your ride! Have fun.
