Do you have a fast reacting air temp sensor installed to keep a better eye on air temps?

Yeah there is a long thread in the 3rd gen section. I've been getting them for people on the forum, and a few people on chucks tuning group, i can get you one too along with the bosch connector. It's just a matter of putting a bosch connector in place of the stock one and swapping the sensor out. The threads and resistance is exactly the same as stock. The fast sensor works especially well with aux injection systems. Drop me a pm if you think you might want one.

looking good Don.. Here I was just thinking you were sitting at home doing nothing!! :lol:
|
Thanks. Might not be racing, but I'm always doing something. Just doing everything in stages and as time will allow. :noyes:

Thanks Chris. Have you taken your car back to the dyno? What is your peak boost? Did you tune for the AI or just added for a safety margin?
It peaks around 1.42(datalogit)or so, which seems to be about 20-21psi, but my gauge only goes to 20. It's holding between 1.35 and 1.40, falls off some after 7500, but not alot. And right now I'm tuning with it, I had planned to put just water in and tune with that, and run the meth for safety, but it's making it rich enough to want to break up sometimes. I plan to back and tune for 15psi and under with just straight 93. |
I hope to complete mine this weekend... if the weather is good (don't have a garage). Just need to fab another piece, wire up the solenoids and hook up the lines.

I used the rear mount washer fliud tank also (but from an FC). whats the purpose of removing the motor and tapping a new hole? I just put the hose over the nipple on the tank where the motor would normally push it out. works nicely...
just curious of your reasoning? |

just curious of your reasoning? Because the rear tank uses gravity to drain into the secondary tank I made which requires the lowest level to work effectively and the washer motor was about 2" above the lowest level. |
Nice thread. Not a lot of AI install pics out there. Patiently waiting for more pics of the final install ;)
|
Thanks. Hope to take additional pics and finish it up today.
|
Did I miss the location for your low level tank sensor? Will that be mounted somewhere in the PVC tank??
|

oh, ok... the nipple on my FC tank is at the bottom. and im only running one right now. I had bought some PVC tubing like your self to make an additional tank. very similar to yours. but never did it. Maybe when i get annoyed by filling the tank so much i'll add it in...lol |

I didn't add a low level sensor. I hope to keep a close enough check on the system when in use that I would not need to add one. It will not be a full time system. Controlled with a dash switch, it will only be used when needed, i.e. for drag racing, track days and an occasional burst to cool the intake charge.

Cool. I may borrow your idea and model mine after yours if I can find someone to swap me their touring rear panel and tank for my R1 panel. Great job BTW. I really like the idea of no tank being visible in the rear. Very clean install. Getting close to final pics yet?
Hope to finish the install today and upload the rest of the pics tonight or tomorrow. |
Unfortunately, I was unable to complete the install this weekend because I ran into an issue or two. For some reason, I'm not getting any flow beyond the check valve. Didn't have this problem 2 weeks ago when I tested it and checked for leaks. And also, I can't seem to get the pump pressure to increase. No instructions came on how to make pressure adjustments. I will start searching...
|
Problems solved. Hope to finish it... sometime soon. :dunno: This past weekend was my best opportunity to complete it. I guess I will have to finish up whenever I can.
|
Hey any news? I'm interested in knowing if you finished it and how it works....
Pics would be a bonus... |
curious as well, hows this coming?
|
Sorry guys, I've been tied up in my home construction/remodel projects, I haven't had much time for the 7, but mostly because it's winter time. I did get the system working and it seemed to be working well, but I broke the stock differential first time out at the dragstrip with the AI. Before AI I managed a 8.3x 1/8 mile, with AI 7.9x one pass before the diff broke in half. I still need to get one of those fast reacting IAT sensors from Dudemaaan. Once I get the car back from body and paint, I plan to make a few changes with the tank setup and will get some good pics of everything.

Double_J he's running dual nozzles, one in each pipe. Another alternative is to run some kind of air box, and mount a single nozzle in-between the 2 air inlets. This cuts down on complexity and allows the secondary to only suck water in when it's online, without adding rpm switches.
HDP sounds like the AI is working well. Pulling 4 tenths off is no easy task. You should be in the high 11's now for 1/4 mile. Did you already fix the differential? What did or are you planning to go with? I know all about breaking the differential... Were you having wheel hop when it broke? |
What about the fact that the secondary turbo doesn't spool at the same time as the primary? or are you running them in lag... er... um... non-sequential mode? ;-) Would this difference in spool time mean that you are feeding way too much injectant into the secondary turbo at time?
