where are all the dsm people in Harford/Baltimore county??

Make sure you empty out your intercooler. I'm sure plenty of those broken pieces are laying in the driver's side of it.

The pump does not primp when the ignition is first turned on. Idk why that is. got more bugs to sort out. Still no Accelerator cable. Might have to order one. I dont want to wait for it though

I don't think they are suppose to. My car has not done this ever.

 

[Arthris]

Mine has always prumed when first turnes to run. It only runs for a few seconds. Almost like the fuel pump is shuttin off. But when it dies the pump orimea for a quick second. I dont get it

 

[little-razcal]

On 1g's.. the main relay only trips the fuel pump when cranking.


I'm headed up to Capitol for round number 2 tonight. Hopefully gonna add a 2-4th this time.
I'll be converting to E85 also for the first time, so hope all is well. Anybody going?
If not wish me luck.

Nevermind...Going tomorrow at 11:00..

Anyone happen to either havr a set of new caps or a spare socketed ecu i could use? Did some tinkering and found even though i have my ve table set fpr almost 0% hard ve in vacuum the car is still rich as hell. I pulled the ecu cover and it looks like the caps or one blew. Wondering if i might be causing the car to act like the injectors are stuck open.

Ordered cable and caps. Thought she would be on the road this week but no go May have to just swap in my MegaSquirt and see how she fares with that instead

Well today was a good day for the Talon and had some decent progress. I finally changed the shifter cables to some old/rusty ones and wdyk....they work great. Figures... So anyway went to capitol did 5 passes. Played with timing a bunch and focused on getting the car to have a decent tune on pump gas. Boost is at 26lbs and on straight 93. I really didn't understand how bad the car bogs until I watched it on video and it really is all about the launch and building boost on the line. I really didn't get a good launch, but the few I pulled off were promising.

Best two passes were

11.2 @ 133 1.7 60'
11.3 @ 132 1.8 60'


Still need an alignment, some E85, and more booooosssstttttt......

Video to come.

gr8 job adam. sux i missed it.

 

[Arthris]

Nice, I thought cuttin a 1.8 60 was good.... If only my car would carry itself all the like urs maybe I could pull a 11 .

Im working on my MSII to run the car. Gotta get some components to get it all working. But its gonna be a PNP. No needing to have to modify the stock wiring at all

Adam I hate you. I'm so happy for you, yet so jealous. You and that car make running low 11's seem so easy. 26psi on pump gas, damn you!

 

[little-razcal]

This is the 11.2 @ 132 run.. My 133 run was the 11.3..

Thats bad as s Adam. Good job, keep up the good work. I want to be there when you run more boost and tuned on E85 WHAT WHAT?!!!!

 

[d1prospect]

Awesome run dude. Keep at it.

 

[little-razcal]

Thanks guys.. I know this isn't quite "baller" status, but it's fun actually having material to make a video. Here is another quick one from the 11.3 @ 133 pass I made just for fun. I really think this one was that 10 second pass if i had a better launch..

For a guy that has only been racing 3 times, your driving that car pretty good. I know your total seat time is probably 200 miles in that car since you bought it. Looked pretty solid to me Adam.

On 1g's.. the main relay only trips the fuel pump when cranking.

My pump runs for about three seconds when i turn the ignition on without cranking.

That's wierd. When I was wiring my car and was wondering about the pump not turning on when the key was in the "on" position, I read quite a few threads about only the 2G's actually prime itself. The 1G main relay doesnt provide power to my pump until I actually crank which then it turns on instantly. Maybe it is a 1Ga thing.. Sorry if I told any bad info.

What ru shifting at Adam, you made low 11s look easy.

 

[Gooberlog]

that's what i'm saying! Almost hit tens and made it look easy.

 

[little-razcal]

I can't say why exactly its progressing really other than a little better driving than the first time out.

Shifting is anywhere between 8500-9250 depending on gear and run. The 133 pass I banged the rev limiter in 1st and cost me slightly. I'm gonna set it a little higher next go round. The car just pulls better up top.

 

[Arthris]

9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. That's ####in bad ass. I need a valve train for that kind of rpm.....

New caps should be in tomorrow ordered the parts I need for my MSII just in case aswell. I hope the ECU is not blown. That would suck ass

Although AUTO TUNE FTMFW!!!!!!!

Going to Capital tonight for the last T@T for a while.. Last night I went over the car and noticed something pretty Damn funny.. Let me back up a second......... Looking through the logs of last week, I noticed boost would taper off 1-3 pounds on each run. I thought I may have a boost leak and well...I was right!

Found a huge boost leak from the last time I ran at the throttle body. The nipple on the 75mm TB for the vacuum source is plain gone and I've had a 3/8 hole pushing air out before it enters the TB. Plugged it and went for a drive last night to have boost jump to 30-31 from the 26-25 on the last outing..I'm sure it hurt me...

Anyway I'm cranking it up tonight, so wish me luck..

With some driving like you did last week, I won't be surprised to see tens.

 

[little-razcal]

Well didn't get in the 10's, but I drove it home with another 80 mile round trip for the 3rd time...Car is proving pretty reliable, just gotta wear ear plugs. Ha...

Anyway since I fixed the boost leak and the boost increased, I couldn't get out the hole to save my life. Last week I didnt spin one bit on 26lbs, but now it's the opposite. I totally get in now guys!! Erol (Redyute1) was there taking video, but nothing worth showing.

Car is going down for about a month and returning with slicks, an alignment, and maybe a tune...Although my ET's werent any better my trap increased by almost 7 mph to 139.98..

Best of the night was

11.7 @ 136 2.1 60'
11.4 @ 137 1.9 60'
11.9 @ 139 2.2 60'

Video of me spinning then running it out the back half..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGzjcTCvXCw

Looking back at the logs, I was only going about 30-40% throttle in first. Then bogging in 2nd while the turbo takes it time spooling. Last week I was 100% throttle in every gear and it was a lot better. Something to remember next time I guess.. Anyway..Im done posting video's and updates until I hit the 10's...

 

[Arthris]

Oh wow it really bogged in 2nd That is why I love NLTS Ill see if I can run next weekend. Car should be on the road! key word should

Not bad at all. Let me know when is the next time you take your car out to the track. I'd like to go again with my car.
