Feels nice to be alive huh. How longs it been anyway?

Brad, are you taking your evo? I dont know if them boys down there gunna be ready for all us. I probably wouldnt take mine. I cant be the slowest evo in the park. But being the fastest neon would be OK

 

We can carpool

 

no tuning yet, just driving back and forth to work so far. maybe it's just in my head but the 10:1 motor does feel a little better off boost. I did some part throttle 20psi pulls to mid range and it felt smooth. I'll probably install the FIC 2150's tonight or tomorrow and get started on the new 93 octane tune.

it's probably been down a year now.

 

Glad to read its back alive for you. It's going on 2 years since I had my evo. Maybe within the next 6 months I'll find another one to buy.

 

I installed the new high impedance FIC 2150's and man do they idle/cruise better than the old low impedance FIC 1650's I've been using. I'm in love with my car again, no more sputtering at part throttle.

I also did some testing on the new Buschur ~10:1 motor with 93 octane

25psi 549awhp and 417tq
30psi 591awhp and 464tq IDC was 48% (FIC 2150, twin walbro, Fuel Rail)

The spool is the same best I can tell but the car doesn't feel quite as lazy around town at low RPM. I did a 2nd gear pull and started by brake boosting, it absolutely boiled the tires off through 2nd gear. One of my friends rode with me and thanked me for the heart attack afterward lol.

here's the chart of the 3rd gear pull:

 

nice coming right along!!!

 

interesting, I've noticed before that when logging 2byterpm you'll sometimes have a bogus rpm entry, sure enough VD picked up a bogus 8900rpm spike and fall back to reality and interpreted that a loss of power. I deleted that single line and now it's showing the curve more accurately.

 

well crap, the tilton clutch is acting up, the pedal is acting like it's going down too far and hanging even though I have a pedal stop to prevent that. I'm going to get with tilton and my transmission guy to see if we can figure it out.

 

Hey Mellon did you get my notice that 1.0.7 of VD is ready for you to test and make sure its stable? Just making sure since I never heard back from ya. Hope you were so stinking busy tuning that you couldnt get to it. That means business is good.

Anyway just keeping you updated and posted and as always ... letting you tailor it basically to your needs

 

hey bud I tried my best to no work all weekend so I just got into my e-mail and sent you a response

 

Hey man I totally understand. Glad you had a no work weekend. We all need on of those from time to time.

 

fixed the tob and it started slipping, then the teeth sheered off of the clutch hub, the output shaft from the tranny looks fine. Shipping the clutch to Tilton for repair

 

old thread but still lots of good information in here bump for those who missed this thread

 

This thread is awesome ... too bad it doesnt include a ride in that beast.
