Painted the car a few days ago!

Hit up the Maryhill Hillclimb in Goldendale Washington this weekend! Here is the video!

So I tore down the suspension and checked out the failure. I’m not surprised...I was never happy with that aftermarket arm. Then I laser scanned the stock stuff so we have a baseline and I’m going to put it back in and work on a new set of lower arms of my own design. Anyone be interested in...

Went back to Area 27 yesterday. Car worked pretty well. Still struggling with the maf sensor. Ugh. I should have just kept 2g maf. Never had an issue with it. Lol. SD will be the next move.I also broke the car... lol. Damnit.Check out the vid! Subscribe!

Lol! ThanksIt’s good proof that running these turbos below 25psi is a bloody waste of time. They wake up huge after 25. We did a couple 22-23 psi pulls at it picked up a bit but as you can see from 20-26 was a savage gain. And there was only really some smoothing in the timing and fuel maps...

Added a radiator sprayer to the car. There have been some people run setups like this at piles peak and I’m hoping I can “super” cool the car while out on the track lapping. Would be nice to setup for a hot lap. Will be at the track Friday to test it out.Hopefully it works! If not I’m out...

Here is the dyno video. Sub my channel while you at it. Lol.

Attached dyno sheet is at 21 psi before any tuning, 26psi and 30psi. E80 with 15 degrees of timing. BC 280s installed straight up and a jmf intake. Mild port on head. 6 bolt.

I made 565whp at 30psi. The cam timing change move spool from 4100 up to about 45-4600. For sure slower to spool but pulls way harder up top and picked up a lot of horsepower and made more torque(just higher in the revs).

Thanks man. I was super pumped about that. Turnology did one too. Link here https://www.turnology.com/news/video-600-hp-eclipse-soars-atop-knox-mountain/

Coles notes of this year knox mountain hill climb....Car worked great all day saturday but it was cool out and the track was cold and dusty so i took it easy and put in a best of 1:59. last run of the day i forgot to fuel the car and ran out of fuel half way up the hill...IDIOT.Day 2 the car...

Managed the class win and 8th overall with the 3rd highest trap speed into turn 1. The car is still way faster than I am capable of driving it but I go faster everytime i go so im getting it...slowly. LOL. Here is the full run!

Hey...sorry man. My old suspension sold almost immediately to someone local. Cheers

Learned a lot at area 27...about me and the car. I need more practice. The grip is mental and its going to take a dad like me a bit of time to work up to pushing this car to the limit. But im getting better and the car is feeling better...except for an issue at the end. More to come on that!

Got out to test the car...man i still have a long way to go to be able to ring this things neck...getting better though!

I corner balanced the race car today. Here is the vid. :)

Got the car on the scales today. It is heavier than i would hope but that will happen when you build things out of anything but carbon fibre. hahh! I do have the stock passenger seat it the car at the moment so that doesnt help at all but i want to take some people for a ride when i go...

Set the cross weights on the car today. It is a lot heavier than i wish it was. I was just north of 2700lbs before all the aero and wide tires and stuff....but it still got faster so whatever!

WELL!!!! I got the ROBI SPEC valved KW Variant 3's that were on Andrew Brilliants car at WTAC!!! Philip from Curiosichi got them when he bought the AMB Aero Eclipse and I snagged them off him. They are beautiful and i cannot wait to try them considering im coming from Koni Yellows with garbage...

Here is the dyno graph! 20psi first pull of the day vs 26psi on a 15lb wastegate spring and 31 psi on 20lb gate spring. 14 degrees of timing and 11.2-3 afrs gas scale on E80.

Thanks!Here is a link to flares i used. They are just cheap ones but they worked!https://amzn.to/2WRTxsK

It changes the motion ratio so you have to account for that... something that I’m not sure I have totally sorted yet.

18x10 +15 with 285/30/18's. It needed a little bit of clearancing on the knuckles to not rub but only a small amount. If the offset was +10 it would have fit perfect. That being said I am running 30mm spacers on the back and no spacers on the front....but not required.

Hey...i finally got around to building a profile. Cheers!

It is hitting full boost about 4600. Retarding the intake cam to "cam card spec" lost me about 500 rpm of spool but picked up a boat load of power up top so it was worth it. This is on the FP30 exhuast housing.

The new JMF intake, gm maf and degreed cams made a huuuuuge improvement over the 424whp from last year!!! Check out the video from yesterday.

Dyno day at four function in kelowna BC Canada!

Well it ran for a short period of time. :(Crank walk!!!

Crank walk!!!!!!! :( :( :(

So, looooong time old thread.But figured I’d add some stuff just cause I’m trying to use this site instead of FB.The turbo was spooling in my 2 litre at 4100 to 20psi! Crazy. However I degreed the cams this spring and the intake was advanced by 10 crank degrees so I’m pretty sure that was...

Got the rad support straightened from the crash last year and wired the fans together so they both cycle on engine temp.

Fixed the rad support and wired the rad fans together.

Ya. Big time thread from the dead. But I was looking for higher pressure caps and came across this thread and couldn’t believe the misinformation in here.

So, I’m trying to avoid the Facebook black hole. I’m running a race only car so I run a higher pressure cap... there is a lot of misconception in here. Maybe it’s cause the thread is 10 years old. Haha.First of all a higher pressure coolant system WILL increase the cooling ability of the...

Degreed the cams in the race car! :)

I degreed the cams last night. I did not do this by the book. But with a little double checking and playing around I managed to get them very close. Your. Mileage will vary! There is more than one way to skin a cat!

Here’s a video for degreeing the cams in car. I didn’t do this by the book but I’m happy with the results. Your mileage may vary!!!

Here is the latest video. Cam gear install

I will do that!I will post as I go along. There are so many bloody platforms now it is hard to keep up. And unfortunately the social media platforms are how I get sponsors. I will make a point of keeping things going in here. Forums are clearly way better than social media for info!Thanks...
