first time at the track

[Mits3gts]

went to the track for the first time last night.mods are in my profile,but i have stock blown suspension and have 225/40/18's which i am sure they didnt help any.but i at least thought my trap speed should have been a little higher for my mods..i def need to get it tuned.

r/t-.693
60'-2.385
330-6.340
1/8-9.600
mph-73.68
1000-12.458
1/4-14.884
mph-92.96

First: it looks like for your trap speed your ET is were you should be with a fwd car.
Second: that trap speed is bad basing it on the fact that you have a 16g, exhaust and such.

At what PSI was this run? 12 psi maybe?

yeah, you should check with your logger and see how you can improve your top end, though with those tires once you reach a good potential out of the motor you're not going to gain much tracion thereby your 60' are going to increase considerably, you should get smaller wheels with bigger tires for the track.

Let us know a little bit more:
Was your car running to rich?
Timing advance?
Boost leaks?

boost is set at 15psi. no boost leaks,timing is set to 5'btdc(stock),i am having a tough time tuning the injectors(pte 680's)..not sure if this is normal but i have to lean it out alot on the top end.if i try to lean it out anymore around 4-5k it knocks..i thought my tune was good.but obviously its not....how does a good setting look like? should i dump more fuel when the boost comes in and then lean it out from there? i have read so many posts but cant seem to get it..thanks

Settings for 680's should be around -30,-35 roughly.

Sure you don't have any boost leaks?

 

[Mits3gts]

even with those PTE's? i thought they rated them at 43.5psi...if i should be at -30 on my afc,something is def wrong BIG TIME..the most i have to take out is -16% on the top end..everywhere else is around -12%...i will check again for boost leaks..thanks guys..on a side note,after some research i should be at least in the low 14's with the setup i have

Those are the settings for a fair tune with 550's. With 680's, you should have it leaner than that. Im running pte 750's with eprom compensation and have it dyno tuned to -5 - -10% on the afc to acheive 12.0-1 afr so why should your pte's be any different as far as tuning is concerned? With 680's, you should be closer to -40% on the afc. And pte rates them at 40psi fuel pressure. Remember, 680's flow a little more than 50% of the stock 450's so your correction should be somewhere around that area.

You are probably running really rich hence the low mph.

No offense but 14,884 on a 2,0 Turbo fwd! I watched a local stock 99' Civic run 0,1 sec. slower (14,984). 218 has got to work better than 160,5!

 

[Mits3gts]

no offense taken.i know its a very very crappy time,and thats why i came here for some advice.no body in my town knows too much about these cars.
