So, you want it to do 8 PSI until 6k, then suddenly 10 PSI at 6.2k and then watch it fall off to 6 PSI again at 6.5k? lol
'Cause, that is what you are gonna get, give or take a few hundred RPM.

I love watching people re-invent the wheel.

 

All I really want is a driver friendly track car - not something that will spin me off at the slightest push on the pedal .
BTW it can hold 10psi to 6500 dropping to 8psi by 7300 which is about where i'll set my shift beeper .
Maybe a supercharger would have been better

might be common knowledge but not all of us have read the entire forum ....

 

Well, mine doesn't "spin me off" ever, so I'm sure you can adjust things to suit.
One thing I've don't with the AccessPORT is adjust the throttle sensitivity in each gear to help judge the transition points in and out of boost.

 

After a major day of dicking around trying to get the Powermod boost controller to work I finally got it sorted (after getting some help from the guy who designed the Powermod) .
And .....
it does exactly what I wanted it to .
7-8 psi up to 5000 - 10psi from 5000 to 7500 !!!!

That is NOT a misprint 10psi at 7500 and 350 g/s MAF - HOLY S**T !!!!

The car is way more drivable now as it does not want to break loose in 2nd all the time but still has all the power in the range I wanted it .

I backed off the boost at 6500 onwards because of worries about IATs and a hesitation at 6500 due to aux. ports opening .
With that sorted I think it might be time to go back to the dyno and see if I can break 300 hp .

.

 

Any idea what your IAT and EGT are?

 

I wish I did - don't want to use those settings again till i know what is happening up top in the rev range ...

 

you make it look easy to pull more power out of the motor!

 

what i did at the track on Friday

 

^^^^^^

wow,

i winced at that photo! wtf, was it a good or bad day. i hope the seal was a gt car!

beers

 

WTF is a baby seal doing on the race track?? LOL

 

my seals - i bludgeoned them to death and now my Renesis she no go

 

Holy crap - really? The first week out?

 

Damn man...that is harsh luck......mazmart rebuild.....or a DIY? Or find a wreck?

 

On the bright side - this guy tried to pass me and look what happened to him . Kinda puts things into perspective for me ...

 

wow,

i so did not read it that way..

as you know let me know if you need anything shipped! front or rear rotor?

beers

 

yep,

you won. btw it was cause he removed the cats..

beers

 

thanks for the offer . I'm going to see if I can get a second hand motor before I do anything else ...

 

Do you know what blew it? Tune, Heat etc?

 

Yep .

Had a misfire at about 7000 rpm - and tried to tune and race at the same time . Not a good idea


I think there are a few possibilities - I know it has to do with my upping the boost at 6500-7000 to about 8psi . I had tested it the night before and it was all good but once I got onto the track it reared it's ugly head . The car was running perfectly at 7psi but I just had to try fix it at the track didn't I .


My theories
Lean spike caused by I dont know what - had scanalyser running and could see it .
Air too hot
Mazsport coils not hacking the pace at that psi

Dont really know but What I do know is that it can be set up to run great so long as I dont raise the boost above 7psi in that range

 

I wonder if the dwell changes on those coils f*cked you?

 

well - didn't make any changes to dwell but yeah - I still dont know for sure what the story is there

the run that killed it was the last session - I opened up the aux ports for that run so it was not that causing the lean spike ....

 

were you data logging? i would love to see it if you were. and i am sorry for your loss..

beers

 

sorry to hear of the dead seals

I'm contemplating my first rebuild, but hopefully it's premature and not needed in my case.

how does the motor idle and rev with bad seals?

 

The first few sessions I was data logging and the lean spike from the Aux ports was causing a spike and a misfire - bad in 2nd gear but ok in the other gears . 2nd was running way leaner (but still around 12) than the higher gears so I'm sure that was why .
The last session I opened up the aux ports to get rid of the spike but found another spike a little higher in the rev range - that is what killed it i think because it wouldn't start after that session . Drove it home and it all seemed good - until i tried to start it again .....
It will actually run if i push start it and it still hauls *** - just cant restart it if i stop

 

probably one seal only that is blown - vacuum is down to 14-15"Hg , idle is crap , and it makes a really strange noise kinda like the one descibed in my sig .... how ironic . heh
