Ran the POS tonight.

[kjewer1]

Well, twice this week. Trailered it up wednesday, and broke on the first run. Boost was accidentally set at 30 psi, and I hit 65 pounds per minute. Knocked enough that I had to let off halfway down the track. VC boot blew up and spewed grease everywhere. UCIP came apart. Barely got it back on the trailer before the tornados blew through, lol. The good news is they gave out rain checks since we didnt race for an hour even.

Fixed the UICP (roughed up the pipes so the couplers could hold), and said F that CV boot.

Trailered it back up tonight to cash in that rain check and have another go at it. All runs were low 12s at about 115/116. Last run I broke, but it still turned out to be the best. Shyte sixty foot time of 1.80, and had to let off in 4th again. The battery/alternator died (was struggling with it all night) and the ignition just wouldnt work. Had to get towed off the track. 8th mph was 97, so that would have been a 120+ mph run. Ended up at 12.01 at 115. Threw it on the trailer and watched Chad run the rest of the night.

New turbo feels laggy, but it doesnt seem to be affecting my times. I ran 12.0s at 119 last time out. When I get a chance to drive it on the street I can find out when I get full boost at.

All in all not a bad set of runs for 22 psi and pump gas. But there is a list of bugs to work out before I go back...

May I ask how the boost was accidently set a 30 psi?

[EclipseRST]

holy fuck... only 22psi! why cant i do that i need to get to the track with my slicks!!

but anyways... good runs! i'm waiting for 11s!

[Chavez408]

Wow!!

[kjewer1]

I sold the Profec and put in a MBC. Didnt want to waste 5 runs to set the boost, so I turned it in a couple turns to get started. Wether because of my 20 pound spring, or something else, its really sensitive. I have it backed all the way out and I'm at 22 psi, lol.

30 psi is what I plan to run anyway. Just not on pump gas with half assed settings.

[RiceRocket18]

30psi, you're a kamakazi kev. i hope you have life insurance. LOL

[BiLLcLiNtOn1]

Just like nefarious2o9 said 30psi boost, I read what his b/s said it was kind of funny but the 30 psi boost is true tho, it is not a theory either

[BiLLcLiNtOn1]

oh yea by the way , how much torque is on your car

[EclipseRST]

i never said you cant run 30psi of boost! he was stating hes motor was stock/barely modded... and he was runing the stock side mount intercooler... running 30psi of boost and puting out 389hp to the crank! thats bullshit!

but on the other hand... a built motor will definately handle it!! i know it will and i never once said it wouldnt! if the motor was built!

[EclipseRST]

i like how you put it as "B/S" seeing your the same guy and you are pretty much saying you lied... and we already knew that, i'm just glad you admited it!!! oh and you said you had a better site, why dont you go there and stay there instead of getting banned everyday! cause we dont want you here!

[RiceRocket18]

LOL... damn jake, you're good. dude keep getting caught. LOL

[Chavez408]

cus his a mod, and he can read his IP address!


keep banning him jake, kick his ass!!

How many lbs/min was the 60-1?

[kjewer1]

The most I saw was 62, but I'm not sure I trust those airflow numbers I was getting. It makes much more sense with the new meter.

Breaking news, I have tons of blowby, smoke pouring out of the valve cover in a bad way. Also, the dish on the number 4 piston was completely filled with fuel. I didnt have the compression tester handy unfortunately, not sure I want to know either. I could have it rebuilt and in the car in a week, but I think I need a break...

[JoeWagon]

I just wouldn't imagine it's so fun to rebuild the motor more than every year
