I dunno what's going on either, but I do know I gotta get out of here for a while... the place I live in is turning into the ghetto.

 

Dang. I was hoping to come home and see an update on the project.

 

Ok... well if anyone is bored.... NP's Autocross is today. That's where I'm leaving for in 5

Later

 

Work til 3

 

Brian, I'd be there to watch but I'm way too busy and jetlagged today. Good luck though, let us know how it goes!!!!!

 

I got home too late last night to get up early enough for auto-x.

 

Dont know bout ya'll, but this weather is kicking some serious ass

 

Was good to see everyone who was at the Irwin show last night... Brian, those wheels are NICE! Also, I really liked that Sport Red SS/SC...

 

Yeah, unfortunately I'm stuck inside doing laundry :-(

 

Pffff. Laundry can wait. Plus, if you really had to, its warm enough that you could wear skibbys outside and be comfortable. Wes might say something, but this is how you can get him to do the laundry

 

LOL I thought about doing a car/laundry wash at the same time. If that's a no go I've done bikini washes before, but that also gets me hit on by meth heads in Festivas that have to duct tape their windows to the car so they don't fall out (windshield included).

Wes does not TOUCH the laundry. I've seen what he does to cars, I don't want to find out what he does to laundry. He can stick to picking up here and there and doing dishes.

 

Is anyone going to be out playing around tonight??

 

Hey all..


This weather DOES kick ass.... almost as much as R-comps on the SS..

The acr cruise was fun, and will only get better....

Thanks Mike... I like them too.

 

This weather is definitely awesome. Shaun got his license today for the bike so we went riding for a bit, visited his family for a bit out in Uniontown and what not. OH and I finally got to play a Wii. Those things are fun and I am not really all about video games except guitar hero. Anyway, it was good seeing yinz who were at Irwin and then at Pepboys! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

 

Sorry I missed you guys but the Redline now runs without a blower on it.

I'm off to work but a short update, its got a rough tune, needs fine tuned when he takes it to michigan tonight, a la timing and PE. Sounds and pulls like a freight train. Full boost (20psi+) at 3.8-4k with a small boost leak at the blowoff valve, which we fixed before it went onto the trailer. Once its spooled in 1st though, its boost at every RPM no matter what gear.

Ecotecs definetly sound better with a turbo on them.

 

With the charts and stuff that you have how many CFM does it have at the 20 psi?? Any idea

 

i cant wait to be boosting on mine with a tune

 

Same as the Eaton which will be the same as the twinscrew or anything else attached to the manifold. Airflow at specific manifold pressure is determined by the volumetric efficiency of the engine, not the compressor attached to it. It still has the stock cams and valves. However the turbo is extremely efficient at producing the charged flow compared to the supercharger.

Also, at wide open throttle at redline, the IAT1 on the blow through MAF is ~250F on average and IAT2 is about 140. Speaks a lot for the cooling capacity of the stock water-air system for those interested.

 

wow.... good to hear Al... that sounds like it's going to be a beast. Can't wait until Dan comes back so I can see it/feel it in person.

god, I got so sunburned this weekend... but it was worth it..

BTW.... check out my gallery pics and see the Enkei's on the car, and the R-comps on the maiden Autocross

 

this hurst install is really pissing me off. for some reasn the damn sifter twists left and right on the pivot ball, and the sifter just seems to tall for the upper retaner...

 

If it twists, then you dont' have that damn little screw tightened. I had the same issue at first.

 

Same here.....use the lock tight that they gave you, I didn't at first, and it started to twist, but after i put the lock tight in there never did it again. .....And maybe it's just me, but the Hurst shifter doesn't feel like it's much different from stock, maybe i'm just to used to it now...idk

 

Oh yeah, IIRC the size bit they tell you to use is off, I believe you have to use one smaller, but I can't remember. It's a real PITA but if the thing is twisting, that's your problem. Damn f'ing little screw.

 

Yea it twists, cant tightn the screw cause of the locktight, but im thinking JB weld FTW. It works now, just twists while going in 5th and reverse

 

I got your message last night, my phone was being retarded and wouldn't ring on incoming calls. PDA phone ftmfl.
