BoostfoSHO 2015 SHO Build thread!

[BoostfoSHO]

Gearhead, Unleashed, and BCB are already tuning that pump with SCT.....

Matt has customers running at 2600 psi iirc... he has figured out how to get the pump to work properly...

The issue according to him is that none of the other tuners have figured out to increase the psi of the pump.

I’m running the LMS HPFP with perfect fuel pressure on an E30 tune.

So far with unleashed, gearhead I just get a max of around 2300psi with Brad I don't get any high pressure it's only the in-tank pump that activates and I get 90psi max and the cat doesn't go above 3k rpm, Matt and Brad told me they don't have what's needed to tune it. Matt said he can only tune voltage but that im not taking advantage of it to make it run at the higher pressure that's capable of. So it's basically like a stock hpfp.

That makes no sense... Or Matt was lying to me which I doubt.... so you are holding 2300psi... are you getting an fuel pressure dips? It’s flowing 35% more fuel as well...

I’m figuring it’s like a turbo right? 2300psi but 35% more fuel gives you a lot more to work with...

15psi on a small turbo is not the same as 15psi on a big turbo...  Volume comes into play...

I'm getting max at WOT about 2200psi at shifts about 1900psi this is with my meth tune hpfp just tuned with voltage. Matt said it's temporary till SCT gets back to him.

Which pump did you go with? The bigger one or the smaller one?

Once you have the tune parameters you can run 5000 psi if you want...2300 or 2600 is just a request away...

Just a matter of having the parameters from the mfg.

I just want to be able to take advantage of the hpfp so I can be ready to tune it all once the ATP turbos arrive I can have the pump working. Thatv was the purpose of getting the hpfp

I guess I should clarify it's because of my strategy... I'll probably have to update strategy. No biggie

So I'm fixing to start working on my sound system
I'm just gonna upgrade the speakers and add a 12in sub. Nothing fancy just better components and a small box for the sub since I don't wanna add too much weight.
My knowledge of sound systems and components is very limited,so far all I got is the speaker sizes.
I'm probably gonna buy everything and take it somewhere to get it all installed.
Which do y'all recommend to bypass the factory amp

So new wheels came in today, the car is dirty so it doesn't do it much justice. Once the coilovers arrive  and i lower it a bit it should look better.

275/40R20 all around.

Looking sharp there, Boost!

Finally arrived... Now waiting on the intercooler and dual intakes and coil overs. Just haven't decided if I'm gonna wait to do an install of everything one weekend or if I should install the turbos right away.

I would do the turbos now bc they'll take the longest.  The intakes will take no time and the coilovers will give you the only exterior visual of the 3 mods.  Turbos, then intakes whenever they come, then if u do the coilovers..drive it and enjoy youre done!  And take pics please

That's what I'm thinking as well but I'm getting Dyno tuned after so I want to have the intercooler and the dual intakes on before getting Dyno tuned

That's right the IC.  After your dyno do the coilovers?  Unless youre a beast and can bang them all out in a single weekend.

I'm probably gonna do the install and remote tune them just to daily drive it then once IC and intake arrive install them and drove over to Dyno tune it. The coil overs will probably be the last cause I'll have to get an alignment after and around my area I have to schedule the alignment shop

Sounds like a great sequence of future events.  You must be excited.  Hell I am and its not my stuff

Does anyone here have the ATPs with turbos smart wastegates? Is it even possible to upgrade the wastegates on the ATPs? Any pictures of the set up and or idea how to properly adjust the wastegates would be appreciated.

Edit: I found out the ATP wastegate is already an updated version so no need for the turbosmart

It will require a Tune update IIRC! Provided you work with your tuner! The stock IWG actuators are 4lb springs and have a good amount of preload set from the factory.
The Turbosmart-IWG are 7lb springs AFAIK! Dunno. Best of luck and indeed look awesome.  Z

The ATPs have a bent rod design on their wastegate and the turbosmart or factory wastegates doesn't that's what my main concern is. I'm sure if it installation was possible then matt could tune them. But Mike B told me the ATPs already have an upgraded wastegate to match the bigger turbos.

They've finally arrived. Bc coilovers with Swift spring upgrade in the front and rear spring, which I find weird because every other place I looked only offered the Swift spring upgrade for the front.

Interested to hear of your experiences with these, as I will likely have to consider these very same options (& spring upgrades) when it comes time to replacing my Megan's.

Plus I have the added weight of the sound system now to boot.

Part #'s would be great if you don't mind providing those for the community's edification. TIA. :thumb:

I'll definitely follow up once I get them installed.

I got the E30BR sho coil over and the Swift strings are front: 622203 6k Swift
Rear: 62178 8k swift
