Miller WAR Machine - High compression S50 Build

[Brody @ Miller]

I think I know where :

lol. Best of the best stuff if I am correct in my thinking (which I am)

If you know you know. Not my privilage to divulge. Paul does make the best hardware and we are extremely fortunate to work with him.

Figured, lol. Hence why I didnt say specifically where.

Hey Brody, my motor build is very similar to yours. I'm in need of a tuning solution as the Turner chip is not right for my setup. I wonder if I go Miller WAR your tune could serve as a good base.

Check out my build and contact me if you think we can work together on this.

I saw that you're also using scmgoblue's bbtb on this engine. How do you like it?

Havent installed it yet. Needed to get it running lol. I am going to tune the car with stock TB and then the 3.5 to see what the gains are.

Hmm. I just ordered one, hope its worth experimenting with it instead of the RR one. I might have mine on before you at this point if ur waiting till you tune it lol.

Just a small teaser video. Alex used his iPhone and where the camera is placed, it doesnt show the speed/acceleration well. Tomorrow is goinf to be nice again so I will go out and get some much better footage. My go pro battery blew up in the sun today so I cant use it tomorrow

jesus those downshifts are just pure sex

Yah it sounds pretty good. The throttle response is super quick so it makes it sound way better and is easier to match.

I also just figured out how to embed the video too so people don't miss the link.

REALLY wish I could tear into mine to do a motor build right now

Sadly, she'll be getting daily driven for a while.

What diff do you have? Sounds awesome. I wasnt aware of the throttle body you bought. I just got a riot racing one.

Thanks for the comments guys. Here are a couple pictures from yesterday.

Out on the flats, ripping around since I am still up in Canada and our dyno now resides in LA!



Making some tweaks to fuel in a few places...



Also, we have had a number of people over the years the WAR Chip has been around ask if we had more stylish options for the Tune Command Module knob. We found some that we may offer as an accessory since the "factory" knob we use is a little too retro for some people. Check out this nice aluminum one I decided on for my car. It matches the interior MUCH better. This has the old knob next to it for comparison.



I also forgot to take pictures while building the exhaust but I did take two!

Here is the start....



And the finished product AFTER we put the muffler in. The straight pipes were wicked awesome, wicked loud and got me an "Unnecessary Noise" ticket. Some bicycle cops heard me coming and were sitting on the road waiting to pull me over LOL.

Engine sounds great, when is the car gonna get the funny gas?

Any updates? Dyno?

[Brody @ Miller]

Any updates? Dyno?

Waiting for a new oil pump

[JETninja]

Get it installed quick, may cruise up there to Vancouver Sunday with the Wife in the Vette....keep my eyes out for the Black & Yellow Bimmer!

[aga080]

i really love your build, i hope you see good gains when you dyno this has been a lot of work

[Brody @ Miller]

Thanks guys. The car feels really good. I have only tuned it with the vanos off so far (you can turn vanos on and off in the war chip software) and been fixing things as they need ironing out.

Got a water temp gauge installed, put an E-fan on for temp problems in traffic and built a bottom shrowd to force the air thru the rad.

Once I get the oil pump swapped out ill tackle the vanos-on maps. If we didnt move our dyno to LA id be done by now but doing it on the farm roads is a little slow due to the sketchiness of ripping on the streets.

Anyway, its been a blast I learned a lot more than I thought was left to learn and the car a head turner.

Ill have a bunch of videos of it real quick. New pump will be here next week.

Did you get close to 300 rwhp yet?

[Brody @ Miller]

Did you get close to 300 rwhp yet?

Havent dyno'd bur 1/4 mile mph and weight put me around 290 right now

[ChrisAtDevo]

What did it do at the track?

[Brody @ Miller]

What did it do at the track?

It did great considering I had a dying oil pump starving the engine of oil :P I did not have the VANOS active and my stretched tired bounced the first 100 feet of the track. 103.8 MPH but the ET was terrible. I will scan the time slip but you can see me really picking up in the back half time and speed wise. Oh yah, and I weighed in at 3175 that night.

Also, my oil pressure was so terrible my lifters were not staying full. It was really robbing me from my camshaft's potential. Since I installed a brand new oil pump, my tune completely changed and that is what leads me to the lifter conclusion. The car was 1 to 2 full AFR's leaner! I can't wait to see what this thing does next street legal. We figure it is good for a 112 to 115 MPH pass and deep 12's if I can hook up.

Picture of DESTROYED oil pump. Notice the bypass is heavily scored and the gears are scored and pitted...





Now I will always know what is going on...



And another clip of my car now that it's actual heart transplant has been finished! Shameless plug for the WAR Chip launch control feature too!



Here are some clips that were not in focus at all. They still sound great!
