it's that time again kiddies. it gets colder, people blow the **** out of their lsj's.

here is a friendly helper to keep your car living during the winter time.

if you have a smaller than stage 2 pulley on your car and are not the tuner of your car. go up in sizes. your afr will swing good to richer than normal. most people don't take the time to tweak their maf cals with an error window in it. so go up in sizes.

straight stage 2 car?
leave it.

stock?
leave it.

tvs cars?
work that maf call until you get actual/cmnd. even with meth you will have to command richer than normal.


change your plugs. lower the gap a smidge. don't beat on the car a lot.

 

Bah, paranoid people. Blowing it up is 90% of the fun, anyway.

 

Are you dying?

 

go play with your single cam honda

 

lol.
as for my car, **** it,. I keep it set the same.... from rocky 4... if it dies, it dies lol.

 

uh no

ran a comp test. cold the other day
206
205
207
205

car is fine

 

Area what's the difference in doing cold vs hot test?

 

you don't care. it's the kids who beat the **** out of their cars and then make a thread on here about "i blew my car up"

you on the other hand will laugh like a school girl when you do it.

then al and wes will get a call.

 

Thanks Area..!

now hopefully people just listen, so we dont have to answer in threads that start with "engine blew help!!"

 

the lsj has a ****-tastic baro sensor that doesn't like to compensate for colder temps. so it runs leaner. leaner = power, but also equals more heat.

 

Fixed!

 

we're not going there again slow one

 

Oh no not that. I knew that.

I was referring to comp testing when the motor is cold vs hot.

I usually do mine when it's cold or the coolant temp is around 110 degrees, give or take.

 

+1, Drop a set of Diamonds in for ~600 and call it a night.

 

Baro compensates for MAP measurements at different altitudes. IAT1 compensates for MAF changes at different temps.

Its the calibration, not the sensor.

Fine then nervous one.

 

newp. even with my calibration dead on it still has a mind of it's own.

i however, don't really care

 

Not the MAF calibration, the IAT correction that you can't adjust.

 

::looks at time slip::

im nervous? i have a right to be, im faster than you!

******* hpt

 

you got that right lol.
I know when it does decide to go, it's not gonna be some ***** cracked piston.... **** will be hitting everything around me lol.

 

Maybe on stock blower cars, not on TVS ones.

Thats a man's way of doing it imo.

 

I"ll second that

 

It's a good thing I'm tuned for ~50* weather. That is actually a little colder then it gets her most of the time. I also spent a long time on my VE and MAF.

Cheers though, seems most of the people who blow their LSJs up do it during the winter.

 

Just like Dan, couldn't of just spun a bearing and just stop driving it. Had to put a hole in the block...

 

hell yeah, no ***** footing around there..... I like to see through my motors, gives me a sense of accomplishment. lol

 

if you beat my time, you hit 12's. it's that simple mr i need 25psi to do it.
