i still ammmm a virgin

 

Hey Dan,
I emailed back and forth with Doug, and with what seems to be a slipping clutch he said he wouldn't be able to tune it till I get a new clutch. I know you are an AMS dealer, but would you be able to get a hold of an exedy twin hd? If so for how much? Do you know if that comes with a new flywheel or is it just the clutch? Thanks man. I tried PM'ing you but apparently you've exceeded your stored message limit lol. PM me back man.

 

sorry I get a lot of pm's, I can get you a exedy twin. I will pm you a price

 

do anyone know what the main differences between the 8 turbo and the 9??

 

compressor housing is bigger, also the 05-06 had a 10.5 hotside compared to the 03-04 had a 9.8 hotside

 

okay cool thanks

anyone going to midnight mayhem tomorrow? I'm thinking about bringing the drag car out for the PSCA test and tune tomorrow 5-9pm. I need someone to help out with driving my truck to tow the car, any volunteers?

 

I would but my 2nd gear is no good I'm coming down tonight to help steve with his car and I do have a new tranny with me but were going to put steve's car back together first before my tranny is going in. I'll help you drive the truck out if you need help and Dan lets drag the drag car up here to stg next weekend and I'll get you a photoshoot Anyway I'll give ya a ring later when I'm in town

 

well make sure you guys set some time aside tomorrow... I will help Steve out getting his car back together after test n tune

 

I can do that for you, i have tomorrow off
send me a pm if you still need someone and want to take it out

 

Cool I'm leaving my house right now

btw I'm bringing my camcorder too so we can get some footage

 

the more, the better... I will pm you my number. I would like to go around 3:30pm or so just to beat the traffic. Let me know where you want to meet up. I live in Anthem but I can meet on the way if you want. Loading up the car tonight most likely so less time to mess around tomorrow.

cool, someone stole my camcorder so I only have a crappy one left

 

Ok, I'm not getting much help out in the turbo/drivetrain section, so I thought I'd ask you guys.
In 3rd-5th gear, at about 2800 rpms i punch it and once I hit boost at about 3k rpms the car lunges forward, hesitates for a second, then picks up strong all the way to redline.
I have captured this happening on the dyno. I've heard clutch slipping, wastegate puck stuck, to bad spark plugs. I don't know what to believe. My car has 16k miles, stock clutch, stock plugs, mods in sig running 21 psi.
I am only running 21 psi, because I was originally tuned for 24psi on 94 octane and now am running 91 octane. So I've kept my boost to stock until I get tuned. This problem only started happening after I got my megan o2 housing installed, to throw another twist to the mix. Today on the road I checked to see what my a/f ratios were when the hesitation occurs and they were 10.8-10.9's. Any thoughts? I really need someone to take a look at my car and help me troubleshoot it so I know what exactly is wrong.

it is possible you are getting some knock, 94 octane is a big difference towards the 91 out here. I would mix a few gallons of 100 in your tank to see if that fix's the hesitation.
