May make it, not sure. Anyone planning on doing a Caravan?

There are a few caravans building up on MCE. Most smaller caravans will converge at Summit and turn into one big convoy down to the track. Unfortunately I leave for Aruba saturday morning, so I won't be able to make it. :(

Im leaving from the winder mcd's at 6am sharp, if anyone wants to meet, to go to the stop and ride off indian trail and will be meeting more people there and leaving from there at 6:30am sharp to head to the days inn parking lot across from summit racing in macdounah where we will meet more people and convoy to sdr and get there around 10am when the gates open.

Easier to stay together leaving from the days inn.

Because for some strange reason the chassis bushing on my upper control arm decided to fall out while driving. Actually it was half of it that fell out in my first test pull straight off the dyno last Friday. Car is undriveable right now.

no, something fucked up in the recording. At one point the recorder starting beeping, but wasnt flashing any warnings, so I went back and rewatched the record time, and sure enough right around the time it records for about 4-5 minutes, then the time stamp skips forward about 35 minutes. So for those 35 minutes of my ass sitting down there, it did not record! :2up:

The engine was well below operating temp everytime I pulled out of the pits and the car sat long enough to let the i/c and intake cool back down. I wanted to test a few things out today and I did learn a few thing. I learned the car doesnt want 24.5 inch slicks, I need more injector at this point, I need more clamping load for the head gasket, and it is fun to make a pass on street tires(13.2 @ 126, lol) Sorry if you thought I was hot lapping:D Thanks to MCE for putting on an excellent event!

Has the head ever lifted as it sits right now??

JJSPEC Racing

11-22-2009, 08:15 PM

I have lifted the head a couple of times as I tend to push my own personal setup too far to see what works and what doesnt. That way I can do things for my customers a lot better. My boost went up higher than it has before due to me turning it up and where we set it on the dyno it was a couple of lbs lower at the same duty cycle. It was hotter then and a dyno loads it a little different than the real world. Plus the two passes earlier that day were on different size tires and that has an effect on it as well. It was bumping the boost cut at 28 which my timing is probably a little high there especially since I havent tuned it there, yet. The thing was pulling STRONG so I would like to fix it and see what happens at the track. Drove the car home with no issues. Hope I can do something in the next two weeks so we can go back out on the 5th.

BABY J

11-22-2009, 08:18 PM

CaTcH22

11-22-2009, 10:12 PM

Well that excess boost will go SOMEWHERE is my point. If the head isn't lifting then I'd prob keep the studs u have... that's a "fuse" that allows a cheap escape (new hg, and new oem studs) route for boost pressure. If you toss the new studs in, excess boost WILL find the quickest way out if needed - that could end up being a bad thing. :)
Thats why I like the d-series. If there is any sign of trouble... they just pop the headgasket.
Ive put 3 hg on my car tryin to push is too far, and the worst that has happened is the HG. I think that if mine was tuned to where I was tryin to push it before, it would still be on the first one though.

BABY J

11-22-2009, 10:24 PM

^^ Exactly. But if you button up that escape route w/ some serious studs -- you potentially expose a new weak point. Could be as simple as a coupling/v-clamp, or as extreme as a hole in the side of the block. :)
