WTF? I'm sure this will get deleted too, ....

 

The people WERE bashing and flaming BDC, hence the TWO thread clean-ups...now, it's time for **** state thread editing.

Y'all brought it on yourselves and I have no sense of humor in such matters...enjoy the vacations --- not you, rotordad, the other two bums who were much less eloquent than yourself.

Hey B did you get that mug to hit yet? Do I need the get the ATF?

 

Just got home. Haven't finished putting it all together yet. Might change the latter alcohol nozzle from a 10 to a 15. Still need to do water and oil, the starter, and a couple other nick nacks.

It runs. Man it's loud. Also vibrates a lot from the solid mounts. Been a long time since I've driven it and I'd forgotten what it was like.

So far so good. Everything appears to be 100%. Got the base timing zero'd out and the MSD 850 boxes work. Went and got the car washed to get all the tree sap and crap off of it. It needs paint and bodywork pretty badly. Oh well. It'll come with time I suppose.

Friend of mine Mario and I got an in-dash video and a few engine bay pictures. I'll post 'em up later on.

good job!

 

by dark tonight i want to see black marks on the pavement from 3rd gear

 

Took a few engine bay photos today. Also found a problem with a pinched line going to the MAP sensor/FPR (the -3 ss-braided line). MAP sensor's barely reading vacuum making the car run funky. Swapping it out with one w/ a 90* end on one side to fix it. Otherwise, no issues.

 

No IC at all. Interesting. Post up temps (ambient, Pre-turbo and at TB). Good luck!

 

Looking Good. Glad to see its finally on the move!!!

 

So 130+mph in street trim for 1/4mile test. I want to see what power this actually makes...

When will it be doing a test to confirm the power?

 

It'll do what it'll do, Peter. If it doesn't break, great. If it does, I'll keep going.

 

I wanted to say something but it got deleted

 

Why not just throw a little v-mount action in there? Is the car meth injected or water? (that would maybe explain no intercooler......)

 

^LOL. You didn't read anything did you.

 

I'm pretty sure you missed something! Lets take a moment & look at more than the last few post. Oh wait the xtreme editing may have thrown you off. Alcohol Injection would be the answer you were looking for, thus the reason why you see no IC.

 

Haha, yeah, sorry i must have missed something in there. sounds like a pretty cool setup to me.

 

Here's an older datalog from March last year using the same turbo/hot-air/alcohol setup. This one's for you, Mr. Giljevic.

 

Discovered a few more bugs last night I need to work out before I can go dyno this damn thing:

- Possibly replace TPS
- Boost controller not powering on
- Attempting to boost to the moon; may need to remove the WG lines and controller solenoid to figure it out

If it ain't one thing, it's somethin' else with cars.

glad to see it up and running. it's just a matter of time now.

ain't that the truth ....

 

What happened in that 2nd log picture at 6520 RPM? 11ms injection and everything else is at 5?

 

Good question. No idea. I would see things like that from time to time pop up that I never could figure out.

 

Changed out TPS's. Pulled the Haltech one off as it was sending funky signals to the ECU making it engage the throttle pumps at random times at low throttle. I borrowed an S5 TPS from another body and modified its bracket to fit on the existing TB I've got. Everything seems to work there now. Thanks Tony for the tip.

Also made a -4AN line to replace the -3 brake line I was using for the MAP/FPR sources. It was too skinny. -4 works great. A tip for those of ya'll who might try that.

It's only boosting on the spring right now so I'm hanging around 11-12psi. Alcohol's comin' on and AFR's are around low 11's:1. Still need to fix a few things before I can really get on it. The radiator/oil cooler needs ducting badly, boost controller isn't working and the boost w/ all hoses plugged in is going to the stratosphere (top hose unplugged), and the exhaust needs better hanging.

It's always somethin'.

 

Interested in what you're doing with the ducting up front, get some pics up when you have it completed

 

I will once I figure out how it will be done. I doubt I'll personally do it. I've got a couple friends who are good metal workers who could come up with something much better than I think I can.

Got the boost controller working. Boosted to 15lbs yesterday and it held just fine. Am going to start doing some 1bar tuning on it here real soon (if I don't today) to see what kind of air temps the thing is holding. Also considering swapping the M10 and M15 nozzles back and forth and sticking the M15 in front of the 10 further upstream to see if it makes any difference on charge temps at the same boost in the same hot weather. It may lead to clues on how much intake piping is needed along with the distance needed for an alcohol injector to get all (or most) of the alcohol to flash prior to hitting the throttle body/manifolds.
