Drove it around the lot today....then rolled the fenders....no more tire tassels!!!

Tom

 

what are you squeezing in there?

i have 305 mickeys and they fit great but 305/35-18 get really wobbly at high speeds.

i want to put some street tires back on my 10" wide rims but traction is scarce right now with the mickeys so idk what to do.

 

Just a 305-35-18 Nitto....But I have jim-bob wheels with unknown offset.

Last year with the 295-35-18 BFG's they rubbed on big bumps. So hopefully this prevents it....

Tires look sick from behind.
And I think the Nitto's will be the best compromise between some traction and some stability (and some lifetime too).

We'll see sat when I get it back..

Tom

 

cool.

i fit my 305/35-18 mickeys with no fender roll. i love them and everyone is amazed when they see them from behind.

i just need more stability with still some street traction. These are garbage on the strip so i'm gonna have to do 16's with bias ply for the track anyways.

 

i am going to need info on yoru drag setup

for me rolling fenders didnt cut it...i had to cut! lol

 

with my drop and 305 on 11" +29 rims I could only get a -1.5*camber with a full roll and pull. gonna need to get that flatter sooner than later.

soo--- whats the lag like?

 

Don't know just yet. Was just feeling out the clutch (SP wasn't quite sure it felt right...but it did). It just had a basic tune to start the car and move it around. Larry's tuning it tomorrow (friday), and I'll be picking it up at their open house on Sat. So I should hopefully have some info on numbers friday afternoon, and drivability sat night (whenever I get home from "testing")

Tom

 

No drag setup just yet....

Gonna see if Reid@SP's drag setup from his Supra fits mine (he runs a 16in rear wheel, that I know clears my brembo's...just gotta see offset).

We'll see how this thang makes power first.....then maybe go see what kinda mph I can get on the DR's.....then decide what to do for drag racing.

Looks like these tires will JUST sneak inside the fender when the susp is fully compressed (which shouldn't happen often)......first test will be on the dyno tomorrow.....We are pretty sure it wouldn't have been able to be dyno'd without rolling the fenders lol....I'll get some pics on Sat of how it looks

Tom

 

thom, how about this. There are welded drain pipes on my upper pan for a twin turbo setup. Those happen to be right in the way of my charge pipe when i tried to install today.

so i'm at a loss. the only way to fix it would be to pull the engine and cut it off and weld it. Huge issues, i have no hoist here in st louis (it's in indiana), car is in pieces so no driving, and i don't know anyone that can weld aluminum.

i'm pissed. sorry for jacking your thread.

 

^there are mobile welders that can come to your house. problem is, i doubt they will wanna do it under the car..

on topic, so its past friday... howd it go?

 

Bin, not sure off top of my head...lemme think for a few.

Str8,
Larry ran into Cam sensor issues (cam sensor starts reading crazy above 4400rpm). They had their open house at SP this weekend so friday he just didn't have time to fix it...will be done this week though now that he can look at it..

However, turbos were already at full boost by 4400rpm (wastegate pressure, 9psi)....and at 4400rpm @ 9psi with the exhaust on it is making 30rwhp more than it was at 4400rpm @ 11.7psi with the exhaust removed before

Tom

 

good deal, takes 5000 rpms to spool mine to 20psi. you'll have a lot more midrange! 30hp at 4400 is another 35ft-lbs of trq very good news. hopefully the cam sensor is an easy fix.

What were the symptoms?

 

RPM signal on pro-efi spikes down (blips down) every few rpm...and tach gauge goes crazy...

Assuming cam sensor at this point cause larry hasn't done any tru diagnosis on it just yet....he'll have it figured out pretty quick I'm sure now that he can look at it and not rush.

Tom

 

any progress?

 

/\/\/\
Waiting at the turnstyle for my turn on the dyno.......

Tom

 

i guess that means sensor issue fixed? or are they going to diagnose on the dyno?

 

Think they need it on the dyno to diagnose and fix.

Tom

 

We all know I love teasers....

First pull, no tuning yet, let off at 7k (power hadn't peaked yet)....

483rwhp @ 9.5psi......thats all for now, keep eye's open for new thread

Tom

 

yawn, i'm actually disappointed you can even run 9.5psi to begin with.

LOL!

 

/\/\/\/\
Thats the spring pressure..

Larry stopped at 22psi today..It was making a lot of crankcase pressure when you let off gas and was turning into a mosquito fogger when you let off. lol...

Yea I don't have a catch can setup (I know....one is going on)...

But at 22psi it made 706rwhp.....for reference, it needed 25psi befoore to make 690rwhp...

So there is still a lot of room left in there for even more when the boost goes up. At this rate the setup looks capable of 900rwhp at the same 30psi as before.
