scott87star Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Dragstrip works as well as a dyno for fuel tuning. for ignition tuning you need a steady state load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Scott is right. Fuel tuning isn't too bad to get dialed in on the long straight ... err .. dragstrip ... in front of my house Timing is tricky. Most of my info on that has come from watching my EGTs and Scott's advice on the stock timing map. Basic rule of thumb is to pull 1 degree of timing for every 1 psi (aprox 7kPa) of boost.

stariondreams Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 It is the waste-gate i have the mega squirt controlling boost and it does that very fast i kinda think it works funky but i will get all the bugs out. I finally got someone that will take me onto the dyno this sat so wish me luck I am installing a aem meth/water injection right now as we type pics soon to come!

psu_Crash Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Whoa, 5th is weak, only meant for cruising. I thought that too. I do all my power pulls in 3rd or 4th. High boost in 5th will break things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87star Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 5th is mounted in the tailshaft section with reverse, not nearly as well supported as 1-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stariondreams Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Well i had some success and some failure could not get accurate numbers for a couple of reasons 1. rear diff mounts are GONE NOW BROKE ON DYNO(or I should say finished them off) 2. we started with low boost tune and that went very good. buuuut as soon as we got to 480 ft pounds of torque the clutch slipped BAD!( stage 2 CM)but we got to show 459whp and 498 ft lbs he is going to email me the dyno charts on monday so i can post them i will be back at it again next sat. I think i am just going to go with solid rear diff mounts I am going to fab them up at work on Monday. Has anyone done this before? going to go with poly torque tube mounts also.

psu_Crash Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I know some of the guys have run solid mounts before but I don't believe it was on street cars. I would imagine solid mounts add a significant amount of vibration. BTW those are some BAD BOTTOM numbers! Looking forward to seeing the dyno charts. What was "low" and "high" boost?

What was "low" and "high" boost?if you wanna call it high boost was 23 psi 19psi is what those number are from with very bad clutch slippage and a mean chatter shake from the rear diff.

psu_Crash Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yep, that's done. Putting down that kind of torque you should be prepared to find the weak links, because you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stariondreams Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I am getting new ones but i wanna see how bad solid one's feel till the new ones come in . I already have 1 solid engine mount how bad could it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullzaflare Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 gt35r turbo with 1000cc injectors and the better post of my build is on sq performancedid you use the spray on the run? if so how much?if not, what ignition map are you running? whereas im only on 21psi with my hx35, it doesnt feel anywhere near 500tq like you are dynoing. though i dont think the hr70/272 is dropping it that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
