no problemo
couldn't decide on the font lol

 

Ej the car looks amazing man cant wait to see it in person! congrats!!

my bs...almost saved up for stage kit.. thinking ottp stage 2..

 

What turbo did you go with? I'm interested to see how your car moves when its done. I'll be on e by the time you get done

 

Bout time you join the rest of us running e85

 

 

Oh I know! I know! Turbo should be here tomorrow or friday!

 

same turbo, but has a bigger exhaust side though.

 

Lol EJ's name is funny... his car is now white but has the name blackbeast... makes you wonder what he is referring to. lol

 

So a 2860 with a bigger a/r? I'm interested

 

Yeah the one I had before was a .64 this one is a .86. It will hold stronger in higher boost. it will take a little longer to spool, but I doubt it will be noticeable with all the porting to the head and intake.

 

Noob question. There seems to be a gas station at the corner of Scottdale and McKellips that sells e85. Anybody use this? Also, I'm obviously not tuned for e85, can I still put it in my tank just for fun to ensure no knock in higher temps, etc?

 

ive seen that station, ill be using the washington and 15th station. You can't just put e85 in the tank since it is a different fuel type than gasoline and our cars don't have alcohol sensors and the wb can't compensate for the difference.

Other Tyler, that is gonna be a nice turbo that is a .pretty huge a/r so I'm curious to see the lag. Who is porting the head? And what do you mean by intake I thought you had the plastic 2.4 mani either way I'm pumped tto ride in your car when it gets done!

 

damn thanks ill put it on when i get home looks good

haha i was referring to the car before but now i guess i can refer to me the token black kid with a slobalt

 

I was thinking about mixing, just for the higher octane. I.e., if I have half a tank of gas then mix the other half with e85...
I remember somebody telling me that I should drop some race gas in my car and that it wouldn't hurt anything, even if not tuned for it...

 

Race gas will be what you want if you just want more octane to help prevent knock, you don't have to tune for it

 

Any clue about nearby places that sell race gas then? The gas station by firebird? I heard about a Mobil on chandler blvd and 44th. Really, I'm just kinda curious, and would put some race gas in just for fun, to make sure there wouldn't be any knock if I go drag racing and the temps start getting hotter.

 

Gas station by firebird and the valero on chandler and 44th do. I was knocking alot at the track compared to the street a couple weeks ago, yiu should let someone with hpt log your car to see if there is any knock!

 

what you got going on saturday? i want to log my car i think i have knock too

 

I don't think I have any knock, I figure if I'm going to go race though it's not a bad idea to be safe. And like I say, I'm just curious

 

I think nick will still have the hpt Saturday. and I'm detailing a car that day but ill let nick chime in he's gotta finish his beast tune!

Tyler you can just toss in a gallon or two before you hit the track!

 

whatever its a new car if its blows its under warranty haha i think im going to the pavs on saturday i have nothing else to do

 

I think I'm going to give the mr2 the ol college try once I'm sc'd but I'm gonna take the seats out and spare and any uless weight out to help a bit

 

You could do race gas but that gets expensive at 8.00 a gallon. E85 is 2.40 by my house

 

Ya I'm just trying to get my trims dialed in but I'm free all day sat if you want to log. I'm still on the fence about turning up the boost term is having great results on his car just his clutch slips a lil more and I'm fine with that I've been waiting to install my spec 3+ and lighter flywheel

 

B/S of the day... I just detailed my car.
