july drag meet poll

[MDK87]

Just met Stevo...what a clean GSR..
Come to this meetup if you can mate.

 

[khubner1]

my bad gates open at 4 runs start 4:30 so if you all want to meet you'll probably want to be meeting around 3:45 to leave around 4 - 4:15. i won't be at any premeet i work till 3 and have and hour or so drive ahead of me to even come close to the track.

 

[MDK87]

Well that rules me out.

 

[xjokux]

Well that rules me out.

What time is your exam

 

[Benzo4gT]

Well that rules me out.

Whoa! Exams?

 

[khubner1]

come out after runs go till like 8 9 pm

 

[MDK87]

Yeah maybe I'll just meet you guys out there.
Johno cruise in together after my exam? I'll be wrapped up around 3:45 I reckon.
Yeah Benno I've got a couple deferred ones

 

[White Knight]

I'll aim for 3:30pm or so at the servo.

 

[Hyper_Mike]

Sooo scared something is going to break hahahahaha! My car wont be making any amazing passes, still wont have my Haltech in yet, but hopefully should have the boost wound up and the fuel pump in

 

[Benzo4gT]

Remember that 18psi is about where the boost cut is

 

[khubner1]

get you wideband wired in and don't let your afr's go above 12.5:1

i also won't have my haltech in but i'll make one or 2 passes on the current setup

 

[brisvr4]

12.5:1 on Pump? Jesus Kyle, do you want him to blow it up?
Remember guys, you can run rich all day long but you only get to run lean once....

 

[khubner1]

i've been that lean before but again i wouldn't recommend going that lean but it's about as lean as you'd ever want to let it get. for a full load under boost pull. remebr stoich is 14:1

 

[brisvr4]

Yep, stoich is 14:1 approx and that's fine for NA not turbo though.
Too easy to melt stuff at anything over 12:1 MAX on pump. The extra tiny bit if power isn't worth it.
I'd shoot for 11.5:1 on pump and around 12:1 on E85 for most cars those are pretty safe numbers.

 

[Benzo4gT]

When my Wife ran her PP rx7 down the track it went lean and within 2 passes it was toast! 26 seconds of hard running is all it took.

Stay rich in the mix or you'll be poor in the pocket.

 

[evo-gsr]

Lol @ this thread, especially the 12.5 AFR reference.

 

[Hyper_Mike]

Soooooo I have no idea about any of this hahaha

 

[evo-gsr]

Your not the only one , from what I have read in here.

 

[White Knight]

Mike, just get an air/fuel meter. Monitor under boost, make sure its running rich and you'll be fine. If it begins to lean out or go "stoich", back off the boost.
Simple as that really.

 

[White Knight]

By the way, as benny mentioned, you may have a boost cut at 18psi. However, may be lower because you have 450cc injectors as stock as opposed to the 510cc's of the manual and the 14b as opposed to the big 16. So it may come in earlier, I really am not sure. But you'll know it when you feel it bro.
