so on my way back home from work, me and my brother figured to finally give the cars a run, he has a turbo integra grs at 10 psi making like 230-or 260 i dont remeber i am making just about 380 at 18 psi, i lowered the boost to 17 because i didnt want to take a chance with the cold weather we were having.

his friend just started rec it from a seconds gear roll,

he didnt rec the first 2 runs from 3rd gear.. first was stock boost... second was 17-18


the third was on the video and was a second gear, my tires were spinning and i was breaking up in the 6.5k-7k.. video will be up in like 5 mins

the guy was an idiot who was recording and didnt get the beeping and such, makes it look like i just jumped the gun...

 

weird, looks like i have no headlights working.. weird

 

not much of a race

 

Fail thread, fail video. What is this crap?

 

^dick much,

yea i know not much of a race, once he puts his crap in from christmas, he will prob be equal or faster than me.

 

Wow you totally annihilated your brother.

Great Job!

 

If your brother was WOT he just got spanked Nice kill.

 

Good race man.

Please do a rematch, in the daytime

 

i thought little brother had 500 hp to the wheels????? what happened?

 

He says to everyone he WILL have 500. He still got a lot to go for that but he has a couple parts to get installed so he may catch up or beat me.... Then eventually Ill go single and make close to 500 with a race port and water injection... Which reminds me, Simon when are you porting your car.

 

is he going gt35 or gt40 to make 500 hp haha?

hopefully it'll be faster than this civic haha

Not cool FDing your own brother like that your bro got FDed

 

Does rotary not liking the colder temp?? I tought colder temp is better for the motor??

 

what do you mean not likeing the colder temp? it loves it

 

Rotaries like being in operating temp (maybe best at lower band of operating temp). You get more power when the intake charge is lower so colder temperatures means more power.

Well, OP said that he turn down the boost because the temp been colder (so, he said it would be safer).

 

Probably better than sexually molesting your own brother.

I'm guessing it has to do with traction.

 

[QUOTE=InsomniacFC;9819255]I'm guessing it has to do with boost spikes most likely, not traction. Florida is not used to cold weather and cars aren't tuned for it.

 

nice you spanked that ***. Much respect to you Davie man. i used to live in West miramar now i moved to Spain. Hold in down for FL rotarys mannnnnnnnnnnn!

 

My guess is he turned down the boost because cold air is denser than warm air. A car tuned in the warm weather will run lean in the cold air no? Since the colder denser air needs more fuel to reach a stoich condition? So unless he is tuned rich, the boost settting he has tuned for will run lean which is why he turned down the boost for reliability. But i am definitely not sure about this so someone can correct me if i am wrong
