I used to look forward to the weekend...now both of my cars are in the shop so I have absolutely nothing to do

 

Mellon this thread is crazy!!! I read this entire thing and started at 11am. I just finished. I watched the videos and everything. Congrats on the build. Sounds like this beast is going to hit 9's in on 09. GL with the rest of the build if there is anything else left!!!

 

haha, you crossed the finish line yep, it's a long read but pretty informative if I do say so myself

Much more to come, built tranny install, finish HTA86 pump gas tune, start on c16 tune, mount slicks and hit the track

 

Daniel Buschur called and said the tranny is ready, new 1st, 2nd and input shaft + new bearings, syncros and their trick stage 1 Bushwacker improvements. It should be here next week.

 

Thats awesome man! Keep up the build.

 

Awesome, can't wait to see some more updates.

 

I have it on my to do list to shoot some video of the boost gauge vs RPM in a WOT pull from low RPM to the limiter to show people how the HTA86 spools

 

Buschur rebuilt the tranny, D&B Automotive (one of the vendors on my forum www.racevideoforums.com) installed it and I just took a pic with the new wheels

 

nice! Are those Work wheels?

 

thanks and yep

 

spent a little time with the car today and applied some fixes I've been meaning to try for a long time.

1) adjusting the knock sensor sensitivity at 3500 where I get a ridiculous amount of false knock ever since I installed the header. Up until now I've learned to start my pulls after that spot or as a crutch ramp up the low octane timing map in that section to counter it which left it feeling a bit funky. check out the before and after.

2) I logged 2byterpm to see if I could get past the 8000rpm logging limit in evoscan...worked like a champ...tested just past 9000rpm.

3) I logged 2byte airflow, someone else suspected that you can't read data well beyond 3000hz so I wanted to see if that was true. I don't use airflow for tuning but it is interesting none the less.

4) tweaked the AFR on the new HTA86 setup, it's showing 600awhp consistently with only a few counts of knock which is good for this unseasonably warm day.

5) I weighed the new wheel/tire combo vs the stock setup which is bald btw. The new setup was right at 5lbs heavier per wheel, not bad considering I went from 17 to 18" wheels/tires. The stock wheel/slicks will be the lightest set I have by far...those tires don't weigh anything.

 

its looking good chris! keep it up!

off topic but i just got my 1000cc from buschur and hopefully will be installing and tunning tomorrow and see what happens on q16. oh and i see your wb cuts out too, i thought there was something wrong with mine....guess that happens to everyone?

 

Car looks great with the new rollers.

Always enjoy when you dump some data in here, interesting stuff.

 

awesome work as always, chris

 

I need some eye drops... Just read it start to finish... Very informative and entertaining!
