My buzzer comes on at 7500rpm, it used to come on later at like 7900-8000. Plus my car feels slow. Here's the story:

When I floor my car it feels fast up until about 6500-7000rpm then it feels slow as ****. my 1/4 mile times are an average of 16.3@84mph. Why 84mph, I seen some dudes with the same mods do at least 87mph. My question is why is my car slow, and why does it seem like something ain't working right. Should i check my fuel pressure to see if it is too rich.

Here's my mods so far90 GTU)
rb downpipe & presilencer
Cone intake(I actually ran faster with my stock airbox w/k&n drop in)

I've changed my fuel filter too and i'm saving to buy a new o2 sensor.

damn this is frustrating, i'm just trying to make everything run right with my car. thanx

 

c'mon someone help me pleeease!

 

What's your 60' times?
Try to runs when there's a big race that weekend - they spray VHT all over the starting box when there's a big race, else the track is very slippery most of the time.

16.3 is frickin fast for HRP.&nbsp I've seen a pair of Zenki NA's duke it out for 16.9's and 17.0's with FULL exhaust.

Ted is definitely right...16.3 is extremelly fast for what you are describing. However, me being a biased drifter will tell you that your car was never set up to be a dragger. If you wanted to nab a dragger I would recomend a Turbo II. Try putting on some stiffiners and go up against a Turbo II driver with the same mods as you in a drifting match....here is news for you, you will win.

 

No really it feels like some sort of hesitation, the tach needle slows down after 7000rpm, i swear it used to be faster. my fastest time was 16.1 I was hoping for at least a 15.99. BTW TEd, you've been to HRP before?

thanx

 

Check the normal things. 6 ports move freely, vdi working etc. (Don't ask, just do a search) and change the plugs, not the o2 censor.

The shift buzzer thing seems to be a problem with age. My 90 starts buzzing anywhere from 7,500-7,900. Just be happy you don't have one that comes on at 6-6.5k like some people on this board. CJ

 

i used to have the same problem, id say check the 5th and 6th ports, mine were cloged for a long time and i couldnt figure out why i had no power. and i used to have the buzzer problem similar to yours but it fixed itself when i got my ports cleaned out.

 

I'm originally from Honolulu.
I had the unoffficial fastest FC there for a while at 13.446 @ 105 - hope somebody beat that by now!

The over-rev buzzer can be adjusted with by a little potentiometer in the (i think) instrument cluster.. Do a search for how to adjust it.

Okay, so i talked to one of my frends and he says i might have "ignition breakup", what is that and what causes it? and what can I do to remedy that?

thanx alot

 

I would'nt think it was ignition break up. I have a hi-6 on my car, and my car does the same thing. Also, according to the dyno, i don't realy have any ignition problems at all. It put down 167rwhp with no problems. I like to call it a hair under 170rwhp. Actaully according to Rob at Pineapple, with the more and more miles i put on my car, it should pick up more and more hp to a point. Also dyno's are very touchy, and it would'nt be stange if my dyno results where off 5-10hp off. We picked up 10rwlbs of torque just by backing off the tension on the straps! Boy, did i go way off subject?? But anyways, i would'nt think it would be ignition break up, but i could be wrong. CJ

 

my GTU ran 15.98 @ 88mph with 2.2 60 ft weighing in at 3100lbs with me in it. pacesetter headers, bonez cat, intake only mods

 

Yeah yeah vosko...i know i know, that's why i'm trying to figure out whats wrong with my car so i can run as fast as yours.

 

its gotta be the driver
