That ring compressor is the shit, as in it is on the same level as OC. Still slowly working on the Sol. It still has the Chinese turbo on it. I need to get real couplers and clamps. I keeps blowing them off. Kind of on hold right now as I am saving money for my honeymoon. I did throw down a lame ass 14.6 Last friday in Bremerton.

Soon as I get back from SuckJose Cali I will.

malichite · « **Reply #34 on:** May 18, 2009, 08:16:40 PM »

Well, I pulled the charge pipes off, welded a bead around the end of the charge pipe and hairsprayed it. Also got rid of the home depot coupler coming off the turbo. Bitch holds 15lbs now. Going out to Bremerton again next friday to see what she will do. I'm still trying to get in touch with leed to have him tune my shit too.

is hard to get in touch with. I sent him a message on facebook, spammed his PMs on here like he requested, left him voicemails. If anyone can get in touch with the

tell him to get back to me.

Shits been holding good now. 15lbs of boost all day long. Got the Leed

on the hook to tune it on Saturday. Shit should rip fucken good.

malichite · « **Reply #38 on:** May 31, 2009, 09:21:37 PM »

So leed hooked me up yesterday. I learned so much from him and the car is running better then ever. Had some issues with the map sensor yesterday that I finally got worked out today. Been working on the tune some more and looks like it is pretty solid. Looks like I have a decent amount of injector left too :yes:

BoostForLife · « **Reply #39 on:** May 31, 2009, 09:28:22 PM »

how's the spool now?

My ZC didn't make it home yesterday. Started knocking rattling so I pulled over. Just brought it home right now. Oil on spark plug #2, im thinking a broken/bent valve. I might not need the dizzy after all but pretty sure will need the timing belt cover.

Do you have any spare ZC block/head?

d112crzy · « **Reply #40 on:** June 01, 2009, 12:11:56 AM »

Your setup is fucking sweet dude. It was my favorite of the day. Home made to the bone. Now get a bigger DP and do some big boost

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #41 on:** June 01, 2009, 12:30:21 AM »

Lack of OC and ZC makes this thread worthless.

homemade that actually ran, I would pick the SC14 civic over this if ran good and got to go on the dyno. A car that runs always wins, though.

BTW: Have you seen this ad for the tranny? $125 is a good deal I would say. Inspect it throughly first though.

92CXyD · « **Reply #43 on:** June 01, 2009, 12:16:46 PM »

OCZC Del Sol was my favorite car there I think it was b/c it ran and looked different compared to the avg. ZC. ;D

BTW I would've love to see my z6/y8 w/ SC14 on the dyno but damn main bearing.

I would love to see how ZC would run with turbo maxed out I was predicting 300whp with that setup until I saw how much engine that thing has wow.

Whats up with the 12.44 afr at 15psi? Am I reading this wrong? Isnt that insanely lean?

12.44 is slightly on the leaner side, but is not going to cause damage soon. Insanely lean is anything near or over 13s in higher boost. That will melt shit

Still working on it

ratcityrex · « **Reply #47 on:** June 01, 2009, 03:16:43 PM »

I saw a log of daves some time ago and I think he had his tuned to the 12.2-12.3 range on high boost. The only real reason to go richer than that is to suppress det. But if your running race fuel it dont mater to much.

malichite · « **Reply #48 on:** June 01, 2009, 04:40:34 PM »

Yeah, I wasn't to worried about it. The sol was sipping off the last of the $5 Canadian Indian 94 octane gas.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #49 on:** June 01, 2009, 08:52:00 PM »

That's okay if it's drag-only use AND you don't hot lap the car AND the coolant temps always stay consistent/she doesn't hold onto heat.

malichite · « **Reply #50 on:** June 01, 2009, 08:53:57 PM »

Yeah, I am trying to get them all down to high 11s.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #51 on:** June 01, 2009, 09:40:36 PM »

If you have a lot of wheelspin it's okay, too... you don't use all your fuel in those scenarios. I've street tuned some bigger power streetcars, and when they are strapped to the dyno or make passes at the track on slicks they break up from being too rich. Load is a funny thing.

malichite · « **Reply #52 on:** June 01, 2009, 10:08:47 PM »

Got 3rd gear really solid now. But 1st and 2nd are about 1point higher for AFRs. Anybody have any pointers?

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #53 on:** June 01, 2009, 11:01:50 PM »

That's what it's supposed to do, nothing wrong with that.

malichite · « **Reply #54 on:** June 01, 2009, 11:04:41 PM »

So 12.8 shouldn't be anything to worry about?

d112crzy · « **Reply #55 on:** June 01, 2009, 11:08:29 PM »

Have you messed with gearing threshold?

Not if you have wheelspin, no sir.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #57 on:** June 02, 2009, 12:04:48 AM »

But the one time your tires hook up, it could end bad.

I would shoot for the lower 12's for a street car. But if you are the only one that is gona drive it I wouldnt worry about it to much. Its the 1 time you let someone else drive it and they go up a hill in 3rd gear at 25mph and that bitch is pinging all the way up the hill.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #58 on:** June 02, 2009, 12:11:10 AM »

I don't think we're talking about the same thing? What i was saying is tune for 12:1, with wheelspin you get 13:1. It hurts nothing, and if you hook you get 12:1.

malichite · « **Reply #59 on:** June 02, 2009, 12:17:57 AM »

Ok, so that is my issue. I have 3rd gear tuned and it hits mid to high 11s just fine. When I am in second it is high 12s with traction.
