What did you do today to your 3/S?

[green-lantern]

Posted a few pages back. It took a crap and was cutting ignition under load. Going to see how far I get without it. Looking at other ign amplifiers but they all seem to have spotty reliability. Just unplugged it from the harness that's still connected to coils, so it's as simple as buying a new one and plugging it in, if I decide to.

I have a B&M new volt in the garage, you know anything about them?

[familyMAN]

Haven't read anything about those. HKS seem to have quite a few go bad. AEM twin fire is generally considered crap unless something changed. Matt M says the KB boost-a-spark (not to be confused with boost a pump) has blown his eci fuse many times and recommends the HKS. MSD may be okay. Need to look into it more, but I don't need all of the bells and whistles (timing retard, rev limit, etc), since I have AEM to control of that.

Are you running meth?

Nope. I'm running E35-40 fuel right now. I haven't switched to full E85 just yet. I was doing some troubleshooting I thought was because of the ethanol but ended up being a leaking fuel pump hose not building enough pressure causing lean misfires so bad you'd swear I had a machine gun and motorcycle mating in the engine bay producing a god awful noise out the exhaust. It didn't hurt the motor but was seriously annoying. I'm at +20% fuel already with the 91/E85 mix at 23 psi so I have to swap some bigger injectors in or put a flashed ECU in so I can add some more fuel because the ARC-2 is maxed. For now I'm not changing anything until I get dyno and track numbers that way it's easily reproduceable instead of fine tuning the AFR and timing for the most power. People spending $3k on these turbos want average results. A few want all out results and they'll come in time.

I have new coils, ptu, wires, NGK R5671A-8 plugs gapped at .028, and so far haven't hit spark plug blowout but my HKS DLI is sitting in the closest ready to go. I'm not sure how much further I can push this hotwired Aeromotive Stealth pump. I really need to order upgraded lines so I can install my fuel rails, AFPR, dual pump fuel hat, and fuel pressure gauge but for now I'm keeping it simple.

isnt it amazing the amount of power these little guys put out. Its really amazing. Looks great guys! I will just have to enjoy my 19T's

Yes it's very crazy. I've convinced quite a few guys on other platforms that these cars can be such a blast. Every single person always comments "My God it pulls so hard!" which is cool coming from bigger displacement guys. I have a feeling I won't be touching your 19T numbers without running more boost. It doesn't seem like more than a 470AWHP car right now although my butt dyno really can't tell. I know it's at least a mid 11 car but more than that I'm not sure. I'll probably just be shooting for a 11.99 because I'm still not completely comfortable launching this unbraced 6-speed knowing it could split if I mess up. I may launch will lots of slip to reduce the shock. When my 5-speed goes in I'll give it hell. I want to keep my car together right now. It's too much fun.

What did I do today for one of my 3s cars? I bought a 6g74 w/all forged internals and a motor plate! Now I have to refigure cam size for my build. 272s or 280s? I have the IPS EVO III (mhi) setup. Maybe upgrade to MTC stage 4's later on.

DR streets.

Well, I have the 264's from IPS installed in their street heads already. I was thinking of a lil bit bigger...the DR streets are 264s correct?

[JasonY]

His are a 272 abouts iirc.

What turbos are those?

MTC Devastator, same as TurboSinceBirth, but with the 11 blade hotside, his are 9 blade, Colosus has 12 blade.

Are you using evoscan logging through the serial expansion port of the LCD BC Coop? I was having trouble with mine getting good logs. I kept getting disconnects and some of the values made no sense or weren't working. I'm thinking I may need to run a different xml file or reinstall. The turbos do start spooling at 2100 rpms though. I'll double check it but I did have multiple logs showing that. My idle is hunting now so I've got some vacuum leaks to chase down. I think I popped something off after a pull.

You should be able to get around 600 whp if not higher. I use a ~.020" gap with stock ignition (MSD wires) and that has worked to ~33 psi. Once you get there, you'll be so happy you'll WANT to spend money on it
