That is indeed the laptop P4 3.4ghz , 1g of ram .....

I work on graphics programming and simulation so I need something beefy at home ....

a video of my simulation ...

All data I get (corner weights, dyno data etc) I plug into here ....

9100 series no doubt

 

It's an XPS with a ATI 9800 graphics card ...

 

So, to get back on track, stage 4 is installed but we discovered that the IC circulation pump has died, I have a new one sitting here and it'll be installed tomorrow. Then I can really get back on it and take it to the dyno to see what is what ...

Colin

 

hey i hope the info i got for you was ok and were did you end up getting the ic pump.let me know just in case please.

 

Hey yeah, I meant to thank you, you were a total help, once I new the maker and model I figured out where to get one online and it's getting installed as we speak ....

Thanks again,

Colin

 

Hey can you guys post that info on how to get a new pump so if any of the rest of us have that problem we know where to go?

Thanks!

 

so what's the verdict with the stage 4.....not too much r&d on this kit so far..... very interested.......

 

I got mine from AutoPerformaneEngineering for $125 + shipping, Stillen was asking $145 ...

Go to this page and go down to the bottom

You need to buy a Johnson CM30P7-1 pump, apparently they have many in stock.

 

The verdict won't be available until I get my Intercooler circulation pump fixed and then I can get on it and get it dyno'd. Initial impressions are that the engine feels a lot stronger and smoother, it is also idling quieter for some reason ...

I'll be posting dyno sheets etc as soon as I can.

Colin

 

thanks colin.......
just got my stille stage 3 on for the past 2 months, loving it...... i don't feel that i have enough boost on this guy.... but it doesn't feel that it tapers off around 5500 rpm like most have been saying.... so i wonder if my car is producing enough boost for me to know the difference..... thinking about gauges so i can keep track of it..... but probablly move up to stage 4..........once i am comfortable... i hear that the new fuel line needs to be tinker around a little bit to get the thing to fit right........

 

From what I have read you need to modify the fuel pump a little to get it to fit. Most of the other SC kits are making at least 8psi but for some reason I am still a little hesitant to go Stage 4.

 

If you think about it, stage 4 is waaaayy safer than stage 3, the extra boost of stage 3 is pretty much maxing out the injectors and so the extra fuelling of stage 4 helps ...

I am currently only hitting 8lbs for some reason, maybe I'll put the stock cats back on and see what happens, oh the beauty of peak value recording gauges

Colin

 

Yea that is true. I was thinking about getting 380cc injectors just to be on the safe side with mine.
Only 8psi? I thought the Stage 4 was 8psi? Is it more?

 

It is supposed to be 9psi, but as I said before, it could be the lack of back pressure due to my cats ... either way, my mechanic is gonna make me a smaller pulley for 9-9.5psi ....
