    Default Saturday Night

    I will be driving to G-nett tonight since technically im on vacation. I was curious as to whether or not anyone was running since I will be up that way. I would like to get some runs in against 300-350 hp car now that I have changed a couple of parts on my car. (Last time was just embarrasing car would run at 15 psi and just sucked).

    I came rolling through looking for some runs but everyone is a pussy up there. Someone needs to call INS on most of those fucking beaners up there and so all the cool folks have their spot back.

    Ron, give me another 2-3 weeks to get everything sorted out with my new motor and I'll hand you your ass. I havent raced a 240 in a couple of years, with ~240whp I would normally end up a half car ahead of them from a 60mph pull.

    I did see you there. I was sitting on the ground right next to mike (orange and green miata) when you were looking to run. I have the gray 240. The guy with the fd was right there too.

    I definately though about it. Even though you were at 400ish. But i figured i would have gotten dominated. I should be in the 300 range.

    Yea. I finnally got the intake and fuel sorted out. Its like a never ending battle though because it spikes 20 psi but wont hold. I end up at 16 or so. Could that be solved with a better boost controller?

    s15 turbo should be round 280 @ 15-16psi, that turbo should hold 18psi no problem, and if you had a boost leak unless it was very very small, as soon as you boost it'd start bucking/coughing/acting a fool so i don't think it's that. still double check your coupler clamps and replace any dry rotting/cracked couplers. if your wastegate actuator arm is adjustable try taking a little slack out of it also. if you're running a manual boost controller then it may be actually set@ 16psi but is just spiking to 20. manual bc + internal wastegate = spike.

    best bang for the buck = old school GReddy Profec. it's just like a mbc as far as adjustability but it holds true /w no spike the whole way across, plus you can set the gain higher to have the turbo come in sooner. i would definately not recommend assuming it's set to 16 but spiking at 20, so in compensating setting the base to 20 and having it spike to 22-24. it's cheaper to get a good boost controller than another motor.

    what injectors? engine management?

    Thats it exactly. I just have a mbc so im guessing that is what causes the spike. I have looked at the profec B.
