I also just emailed them about a "stiffer" spring that just came out. They sure do reply fast. Thanks for the info.

 

Just shoot them an email & say you want some info on it, or how do you go about getting one? They will ask for your address & send it to you. I had the original stiff spring in & set to 26psi+/-...I put the new stiff spring in & turned it down a full turn to turn and a half & I did a pull, it went to 32psi by 6k rpms quick and I let off, my knock light was flipping out, haha. I had to turn it down another 4 full turns or more to get it down to my original boost. The FP 25psi WGA & this new stiff spring taper MAYBE 2 psi up top, I am happy with that...

 

No problem!


PS...Dan, I have decided to text you everyday or come in this thread everyday & just post NLTS till you go to the track next...haha...

 

i am sorry i am a bit slow. your confusing me now with saying FFS to NLTS. are they the same on no? i am going to try it. mainly for the 1/2 shift. in the vids the car does fall over pretty hard.

the trans is not giving me issue. IMO its me. and maybe the clutch needs some adjusting. the trans is good. if after the NLTS does not work or i cant get it into gear then i will bring it in to alex for some touch ups. no biggie.

i thought we was friends.


can you PM me some info on where i can find that battery your using.

 

Dan,

Good vids and better job of leaving the line!

IMO you can see just based off the mph alone that you have gained 4-5mph alone from the pump gas to 100ct so it seems that it's making more power for sure.

When it comes to ET'ing the car though very minor things like the launch, 1-2 shift, and shift rpm can be the diff between a 10.000 and a 9.999 so i'm sure you understand where to start working.

Look at the 330' ET's as they will tell you a lot in terms of your launch and 1-2 combo.

NLTS def will net you at least a couple tenths and will bump the mph up for sure.

What rpm are you shifting at?

 

here is some recaps. from my pump tune to 100oct tune's.

pump gas. 31 psi.
my best pass

60 - 1.685
330 - 4.510
1/8 - 6.785
mph - 108.47
1000 - 8.735
1/4 - 10.376
mph - 137.82

now here is my 100oct tune.

highest 1/8th MPH pass

60 - 1.717
330 - 4.628
1/8 - 6.904
mph - 109.46
1000 - 8.843
1/4 - 10.45
mph - 140.88

and here is my fastest and quickest 100oct pass

60 - 1.646
330 - 4.531
1/8 - 6.791
mph - 107.68
1000 - 8.721
1/4 - 10.326
mph - 141.85



all these shifts were at 8500 ish. maybe 8300 maybe 8700. kinda hard to tell. i try to shift around 8500 though. my launch is so much better. i lowered the 2 step from 6500rpm to 6000 rpm. and i try to walk it out a little slower. i do not peg the rev limiter anymore either. thats a plus in my book. none of those passes were NLTS. i will try it for the fist time next time i go to the track though.

 

also Pat i am not sure if you remember but when i first ran 10.7 on pump i was shifting at 8k rpm. you were the one who said to try 8500rpm shifts. thats when i hit 10.5 10.4 10.3. thank you.

now what? hahaha

 

haha, we are friends, I just want to motivate you to keep your right foot to the floor, haha...

In regards to the battery, Ill have to look at some pics of your engine bay again and see how tight it will be with your catch can and whatnot...The battery I am using is wider the then Odyseey battery so the battery tray and whatnot is all different...

^^First off you need to update your sig with your new ET & MPH best... Second, looking at your 330 ET, 1/8 ET & MPH it was slightly quicker on your best 93 oct. pass...I am going to guess your 1-2 shift was smoother on that run...By the 1000ft marker though, your ET is slightly quicker on 100 oct. due to more power...Third, has Ivey ever suggested shift points for you after tuning your car? What does he rev the car to on the dyno when he tunes it? What RPM are you still making power till??

 

You're welcome Dan i just hope all this helps ya reach your goal.......you're almost there but be ready for some 10.00x's they are bound to happen when you're at this point shooting for that 9.999

I do believe you're running a 2.0L right?

Are you using a shift-light at all or just the tach?

Are you able to log the info on the runs and review them after?

If so i'd double check your actual shift points as before i had a ****-light i'd tend to short-shift the car based on the tach which always seemed to be a bit diff than the actual motor rpm (or so it looked at least )

I rev my 2.0L to 9000 and have my light set to 8800.

Look into those things and def get the NLTS set-up or get good at doing it the old-fashion way if you rather not want to deal w/ more ecu tweaks and the 9 will come

 

ok. well the next time we meet up we can take pics and measurements if need be.

i called hallman. i have a new heavy spring on the way. i will update my sig when its worth it. hehe

yes pat. 2.0L motor. no shift light. i guess i should get one? i dont want the 5 inch tack though. can i get just a shift light? and how do i set that up.

i think the only way i can log the car is threw evoscan. the car still has the stock ecu in it and the LC-1 and omni 4 bar map sensor connected to it. so i should be able to record AFR, boost, tps, speed, and a few other things maybe. ill give it a try and see what it logs.

 

Here is 1 way to do a shift line & kinda hide it...

thats a good idea. i have a few others as well.

i found shift lights. some are LED and some have a little rpm digital read out. now i need to decide how i want to blind my self.

 

The only reason i mentioned the shift-light and logging is to make sure of the actual rpm you're shifting as a few hundred rpm can make a significant change in dropping your et's.

That's why i also mentioned the shift rpms.

I'd double check with whomever built your motor but i'd assume that w/ quality parts if you feel comfortable you'd be able to spin it a bit more that alone could possibly get you to the 10.000 land so long as the set-up is still making power above 8000 rpm

 

i think sean pulls the car to 8k. or its 8500. either or that is where it starts to flatten out.

the motor can spin 10k np. not on a daily basis of course but for track use yes. its built to last.

i like the shift like actually. i like lights and buttons. so it will fit well. lets try it. if it does not work then its a simple removable idem

 

I had no idea that the "yellow evo" I always see at island was you. Nice car and nice times yesterday.
