Yeah, now I do remember reading that thread, I just forgot about it. If this is what gets the supercharger to market, then it is a good thing.

 

And its an even better thing if it helps me get my supercharger to market

 

Hymlee you may want to think about the oem fuel delivery system. It is not unusual for our oem fuel pump to lose 5-7 lbs of pressure in the higher rpm areas. There seems to be, for some, a lot of correlation between pre mixing and fuel pump problems. Not for others, which further confuses the issue. BUT , the all in one wonder fuel pump assembly may be a trouble spot. So folks need to be sure before they go and tune something that their fuel delivery system is adequete. Or they may end up trying to put the "blame" were it doent belong when they go lean.

Fortunately, it takes a really long swing in fuel rail pressure to have an effect on actual delivery mass.
A 5 - 7 PSI drop in line pressure (from the nominal pressure), amounts to less than 2% of a drop in actual delivery.
You have to get really low before it gets to be a big issue - especially if you are running with an appropriate amount of "padding" in your target AFRs.

 

You how some folks dont like padding
Good info though-- thanks

Well I guess there is nothing left for me to say.

 

You have to have some padding on a street vehicle.
A bad tank of gas, a really hot, dry day, some anomaly in your driving or just plain bad luck - the effects of which could destroy your motor - can be completely ameliorated by just and extra 0.5:1 in your A/F and 2° of timing, which have a negligible effect on power, if any at all.
I found almost no change in power going from 11.1:1 to 10.8:1.
Of course, if you want to drive around at 12.7:1, that's your business.
That is not something that can be done here in a Phoenix Summer in an RX-8 on 11 PSI of boost.

 

Oh I am with you totally--i like a conservative tune-- and whatever protection you can get from those unknowns that do occur. i was speaking about others that may like to get closer to the edge--you know they are out there.

Glad to see the project is still on course, more or less. I’ll be very interested to see the final product.

OD, did you ever get a chance to open up that old Fuel Pump I sent you?

 

As soon as I get the T shaped nuts run and the bodys anodized they will be ready for sale. As for different strut bars you will have to look yourselves. On the stock bar you have to drill with a 1 3/8 holesaw the space for the brace to fit through. It's no big deal. On others just see if they stick up over an inch because that is what I've allowed for.
It attaches to ewo of the three shock/spring studs. It does not use the brace studs.
As to the nuts on my brace I don't run a brace. That's how impotant they are. Now a 4 way brace might be worth something. It's just that the only place to fasten is those tiny little studs on the firewall.


This is on the wrong thread it should be on the brake brace one. I"ll move it later.

 

To quote an old forumer who I haven't seen for a while...

Look on the brake brace thread youblindbastard.

 

Linky Please, you oldungeekybastard. LOL

You have to go foe 2 min to satisfy the Air Force pilots exam

 

Funny, I've never heard anyone mention this. Sounds like an urban legend to me.

 

16.7 seconds.. 2 minutes is insane, does the speed keep going up?

 

That'll teach me to believe an ex girlfreind.
She can only do 15 sec anyway.

Leave it to RP to post the most fun internet game yet to grace the forums! Its going to be a good day at work

 

I seem to be stuck at 40 seconds or so.
