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.

OK I got you JD. I was thinking tune it to 12.8 and all I could think is it would hook and make a massive load and det like a mofo!

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.

What?

Im lost....lol

malichite · « **Reply #62 on:** June 02, 2009, 12:24:16 AM »

The turbo takes a minute to spool

going up a hill in second until about 5-5500 no traction issues, after that

I will have to go get a log danmit!

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.

I don't let people drive my car period.

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?

i have both, with pistons to match

I'm going to take the head off this week and see what's up, it doesn't sound like a bearing.

Adgast your valves...

valves were adjusted the night before dyno day
BTW: this is not the thread to figure my problem out.

malichite · « **Reply #67 on:** June 02, 2009, 07:56:27 PM »

Yeah bitches, GTFO ;D

malichite · « **Reply #68 on:** June 05, 2009, 08:11:40 PM »

Went back to the Dyno today. Did 3 pulls and now it is 10hp less. Got the Map sensor fixed up but now the ignition is breaking up after 5k.

Looks like I need to fix that now. Also turns out my water pump is done. Found a big nasty puddle when I backed it off the dyno.

Oil on plugs aren't bent valves. You don't need a thread to figure out what's wrong with your motor, you need common sense.

I wouldn't worry too much about the difference in numbers, especially since it's a different dyno. Does the car feel any different? Did you make any changes to the map on the dyno?

malichite · « **Reply #71 on:** June 05, 2009, 11:00:26 PM »

I pulled 2 degrees of timing and it lost about 5hp. The ignition did break up more when I did it too but I heard no det with my det cans. I think I just have to find out why it is breaking up.

malichite · « **Reply #72 on:** March 16, 2010, 12:13:09 PM »

Finally did some more work on this piece of shit trying to get it ready for the dyno day. Had a huge crack in the manifold the size of BDVTs Mom's Snatch that had to get welded up. Wastegate had a hole in the diaphram and I didn't want tokeep waiting for the wastegate I got from MarcJ so I went ahead and put a new chinese wastegate on it for now. Also built an exhaust for it finally. All 3" SS with a Dynomax Round muffler in the middle instead of a resonator and a Borla at the back.
This thing is by far the quietest 3" exhaust I have ever heard. Got all that shit done and took it for a ripper this morning and everything seems good. Need to do a few more things like clean up the interior as it leaked al over this winter in it and it is all nasty.

im liking that turndown!

malichite · « **Reply #74 on:** March 16, 2010, 12:53:07 PM »

Another shot of it. I like the setup so far. Sounds great. I will try to get some video tonight or tomorrow. Need to get a battery for this piece of shit first. Tired of jumping it.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #75 on:** March 16, 2010, 01:22:17 PM »

Turndowns are hawt!! To bad mine is like a turnaround instead.....lol Just need to trim it some to make it look better. I need to bring my pos down so we can redo the axle back on it. Yours turned out good man.

I thought this car got traded for a coupe?

malichite · « **Reply #77 on:** March 16, 2010, 05:11:05 PM »

trade never went through.

Holy fuck its about time you work on this slut. Seems it came together nicely.

malichite · « **Reply #79 on:** March 17, 2010, 10:06:53 PM »

No good audio of it idling but here are a few rippers I did today :p Need to rebuild my tranny. 3rd is almost impossible to get into.

ZC Powered Del Sol 13psi 2

ZC Powered Del Sol 13psi 1

malichite · « **Reply #80 on:** March 18, 2010, 10:49:51 AM »

Maybe in a few weeks When i come down we could go do some freeway rippers.

You better get some crank case ventilation on that bitch! Like yesterday!

Got material at home to build a snatch can. Will be done this weekend

ratcityrex · « **Reply #83 on:** March 18, 2010, 05:02:48 PM »

Best not to be boosting that much with no way for the crank case to get rid of it. Dont be dumb man. Hit me up, I got a littel trick to tell u about the can

ratcityrex · « **Reply #84 on:** March 19, 2010, 01:38:48 PM »

Did you get the catch can done last night nig?

malichite · « **Reply #85 on:** March 19, 2010, 03:02:40 PM »

Negative. Got to Belfair Hoes to late. Going to try to get some fittings today.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #86 on:** March 19, 2010, 04:23:10 PM »

You nig, Ive got 2 -10 by 1/2npt if you want to come and get them.

malichite · « **Reply #87 on:** March 22, 2010, 11:20:34 PM »

Well, before I can get a catch can on it, I need to make some room. Time to move the battery. That was todays mission. I built a new battery tray from some aluminum angle. I mounted up 3/4" to make room for the new floor floor I want to put in later. I still need to run the power cable to the back and I need to make a new battery tie down that isn't all nasty. My aluminum welds are not up to where I would like them yet but they hold. Anyways, as usual, here are the pictures.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #88 on:** March 22, 2010, 11:44:45 PM »

pimp, what about Putting it inside a ammo can? I know that it wont pass tech at the track if its not in a sealed baox, and you need a cutoff switch.

malichite · « **Reply #89 on:** March 22, 2010, 11:49:03 PM »

Didn't think the sealed box matters sense it is in the trunk and not in the cabin. I will be puttting a cut off in also.
