Any DSM meets in San Diego

[gufi]

Bah, car is running great. smells rich for some reason but gas milage and the AFR's i'm running show otherwise

idle cruise 14.5-15.5
WOT 11.9-12.2

car idles like a champ. however i have an exhaust leak between the turbo/o2 housing that i need to fix, but im reluctant because the only way to get to the back bolt is taking the turbine housing off the car with this tubular o2 housing.

haha dam gaskets, hey how many MPG's are you gettin?

 

[gufi]

over the last two months ive been tracking my e-85 milage and im getting 16.8 mpg, however ive changed my driving habits quite a bit and its slowly coming up to 17-17.8 mpg

this is running slightly lean at cruise and with 34-37 degrees of timing at cruise

Lock that bi*** in Open Loop and tune your VE table without the o2 sensor trying to maintain 14.7:1. You can get it to idle/cruise around 15.8 ~ 16:0:1 by making a few changes in your OLMaxOct map and stretch the MPG's to 20. \

Chris and I finally got his car ready for the alignment, I think we found the new trick to the reman'd lower control arms on the 2gs. I'll let him post up our findings though, very interesting.

 

[GSX_TC1]

That's not too bad, I tested the VR4 and got 23.90 miles to the gallon so I was pretty happy about that considering how it was 19 city, 25 freeway back in 91

 

[Zefal151]

At the alignment shop hoping they can finangle it this time and not give me BS excuses

 

[zeekster777]

you all need to get to work

 

[Zefal151]

Work is over rated

 

[GSX_TC1]

I am at work

 

[banishedmunk]

I got off work an hour ago

 

[Zefal151]

I would have been to work if my car was more forgiving

I love my job, and Bryan loves his job

 

[GSX_TC1]

Y'all work together or something?

 

[banishedmunk]

algebra 101
if Chris loves his job and bryan loves his job does that mean chris loves bryan? explain

A= Job
B= Bryan
C= Chris

A+C=love
A+B= love
A+C=A+B
C=A+B-A
C=B
equality can be defined as being one. so bryan and chris are one?

 

[banishedmunk]

math from 10 years ago made my head hurt

 

[drooseph]

Anyone here have experience with strokers? My crank is walking and I want to go 2.3 but i wonder if anyone local has any wisdom to share. Im not shooting for high hp or anything I just want more reliability this is the second motor out if three to crankwalk.

 

[gofer]

You need a 100mm crank, stroker pistons, and pull the oil squirters if its a 6 bolt (right Kris ) the rest is just like building any other 4g63 engine.

Lol Kris your hilarious sometimes man

 

[goodbuds]

I got off work an hour ago

your suppose to inspect field day.

 

[GSX_TC1]

Lol now that would be funny to see.

 

[banishedmunk]

what do you need to know about strokers? I have been dealing with them for awhile.

 

[Zefal151]

Yeah Bryan and I work together. Been working together since April or something

 

[drooseph]

what do you need to know about strokers? I have been dealing with them for awhile.

Really just if i can use stock rods, 1g or 2g and will stock rods clear everything. i would like to use 1g rods but ill use the 2g if 1g rods wont clear.

 

[goodbuds]

i think you need the rods from the 2.4 if that's the case they are caca.. you need to special order. time to pull out the wallet.

 

[gofer]

First and for most, you're going to be paying $500+ for stroker pistons so why would you put a set of stock (more than likely used) rods in there? Second, the rod ratio changes and with it so do the rod angles, this increases side loading and puts more stress on the rods.

Still want to build a stroker motor on stock rods? If you do build it, you should take a red sharpie marker to your tach and make your new redline 4500rpm. Since that will be the point where your toothpick rods snap and you destroy your $500 pistons too.

 

[Zefal151]

But you have to also slap on some Nos stickers and some hood pins to handle the high rpm
