Guest KILLER-T

I was playing around with the timing last wednesday night at the plex i dont want to play around with too many things at once knowing my luck if i gave the timing a few more deg advance and then cranked the boost up my engine would blow up half way down the strip my G/F would kill me she is still going off at me over the last rebuild:argue:

Osc@r, I think Macka was having a go at me and rev, with our stock snails, we haven't yet put our snails on steroids, yet.

Macka, what was the best time you ran before you changed your turbo? I didn't think we would have been able to push so deep into the 13's with the stock turbo, but it looks like the 'plex is providing some good times.

See'ya:burnout:

Sorry I thought you both had them, then Macka really should be doing much better than you?

17psi? What boost do you currently run it at, or is it hard to tell with your bleeder/spike valve?

When is your EBC getting here, can't wait to see you beat Macka, then he'll have to wind his boost up.

See'ya:burnout:

Works, Good luck, let me know when your going down to the plex, I'll come to see if you improve your times.

Macka, I'm not batting for the other side, just promoting some friendly rivalry, you know I love you the most.

See'ya:burnout:

I've had a play with the s-afc II and it seems pretty easy to tune. Without a dyno I have already tuned in some fat-ass power across the rev range, used up a bit of fuel tho'. Richen the bottom end and lean the top end and bingo! The mid range is a little tricky

I am quite amazed at the amount of sting the s-afc gets out of the stock motor.

I think I'll aim for another 0.4 sec improvement, without toluene, on the good ol' 205's and 10psi.

rev, let us know when the car will debut with the S-AFCII, I'm sure a 13 flat would be impressive on the stock turbo. How can you monitor the A/F ratio of you car for tuning? or do you adjust the fuel and see if you increase the power?

Good luck for the 0.4sec improvement.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
