Corleones engine now up and running

[Corleone1]

Car is up running and works better than ever. ARP, some upgraded turbos + ported WG valve, heads with light porting. Now some CPI tune left and also AEM meth with 70/30 blend (as that blend is best for cooling) IAT. Waiting now for an upgraded tune both for ECU BEF + TCU as I am going up 1000 rpm for shift´s, like 69-7000 rpm at lower gears and then dropping for each gear by around 100 rpm. Timing is 19 degrees and I run full E85. Plan is to stay at 22 psi. Feels very promising now and can see that oost holds easier up ti shifting. I have did several 20 psi runs and wo launch I am at 3,6 seconds for 0-62. Lets see the difference when I can rev some more and go up to 22 psi with a launch. Also measure cooling pressure and max is 200 at JB Aux1 which correlate to 20 psi, JB4 cuts when 350 I understand. So now problems with head lift anumore. Also have a lower theromstat tune so it holds about 80 C (176 F) and a minor theromstat mod.

If there is interrest from this community I will gladly report further!

That's the fastest Stinger I have heard of. And when it blows up, will you report it? Ha hah.

Best of luck with your tunes! Never been interested in that but, I think that if you have the coin to

do these mods..more power to you! Personally, pushing the plaform outside of 400 whp is a mistake.

It's a car just looking to cruise on the highway and have a little fun at the stop lights.

Please share the thermostat mod and who is tuning the fans to come on earlier ?

Oh and nice work if the community isn't interested I sure am !

Thanks!

Dont seem that people here are so interested in doing things better...

I will send you a message of the "Corleone Thermo mod". I did serach long time for a cooler thermostat but there isnt any one. Thermostat has at heater in centrum that allowes ECU to heaten thermostat up so it open. But stock working temp is far to high and just for the emissions. Also oil will follow cooloing water in temp. Some guys have took of the mechanical T completely but I think ECU tune that lower to its lowest value of 70 degrees C is the thing together with som mods. My car runs between 75-80 degrees C. I have also taken upp holes in headgasket for cyl 5+6 that is closed from start, the other holes is largerned to 3,5 mm, increase flow for the 2 warmest cyl. at back.

I did notice when I before have headlifts that temp behave very strange, now no problem with 22-23 Psi, temp still cool and I have so far not have what so ever any timimg correction, I run 19 degrees at 6000 rpm.

I truly appreciate it brother ... and the info I have shared with you I have not posted anywhere else, phuck the trolls from other forums.

New Dump pipes New turbos Head studs and gaskets and thermostat mods with your knowledge.... Thanks bro you have re-energised me BIG time

Good to hear!

Engine is very good and can take a lot of load to be a stock engine exept... headstuds. More timing and +20 psi will stretch stock bolts and once it happen, no return. Its a lot work to change them. I did it myself and it takes 1 week full time. Advice is to put things in its own box together with its bolts, otherwise its difficult to know where all things should be. A lot of pictures is also good, do it from start in every moment. I have glued my headgaskets at both sides with Loctite 3020 to have gasket to be more still. Torque ARP 2000 pinbolts to 60 > 90 > wait an hour or 2 > 125 nm. Check moment day after with 126 nm and see so all 10 is still in range. Always use a digital torque wrench. When heads are going in, put turbos at its pinbolts but loose to earn place. Yes, forgott, one more thing, stock is regular bolts but ARP are pinbolts so you need to put on head, one side at time and then screw ARP;s in. Head will be at place by its guide pins, then put in ARP pinbolts, torque to 8 nm, use ARP assembly grease at bracket side between bracket and nut, not between bracket nd head, also at threads.
