A few of the Supras were very fast in the straights, but one, I noticed, must be owned by a heavy equipment operator, because he moved a lot of dirt with his car.

My friend Scott (white LS1 FC) learned a valuable lesson about brake fluid. After smelling brakes, I had him "test" the pedal on the front straight. This kept him from going "***** out". Thank goodness, because when he hit the pedal, NOTHING! Out for the day. Everything cooled down and we made it home ok. I think he's bleeding the system tonight though!

 

Well, My rears are gone from the track day (I don't think I had much pads to begin with). I just ordered some HP+ from RX7store.net.. They had the cheapest Hawk pads hands down!..

 

Well, the GSL-SE made it home alive, but the oil leak made the car smoke the whole way home and whenever I shut the motor off, the oil on the turbo would ignite, causes for some intense moments. Besides that, great event and glad I got to see you all.

 

sorry i didnt make it the car wouldnt crank.

 

Sorry to hear that bryant, thats a shame.

 

same here. My red FD decided to develop a phantom starter problem friday afternoon. Had to push start it to get home.

 

i think and am pretty sure its a leaking injector after the car is cut off flooding the combustion chamber.

on the fuel pressure gauge it drops right after its turned off and drops 5 psi every 1 minute (aprox).does that sound normal?

but if i come right out and crank it within 1 hour of it sitting there it will crank no prob, so its just when it gets cold.

just dont want to pull it apart, thats why i payed the rx7store to do the fuel system so i would have some reassurance.

and i have done a compression test looked great 120 on all 3 front and back.
so...

 

You have a VR FD?? Dang!!

 

I put my money on the INJ map and INJ setup all in ECU. I had similar issues and my Fuel presure drops the same as you have mentioned although not quite as fast. Not sure what primaries you are using but I run 1000's and if it is off when you go to fire and it does not fire quick then it is flooded fast! What ecu? what inj's?

 

haltech e6k and 1000 pri and 1680 sec

 

Has the car always done this? Do you have a wideband? What are your afr's at idle? Is this a new setup or have you been running this for awhile?
I had similar issues when I first went with large primary's. I can pull my fuel out 100% at idle cells and still run rich. If I still go to crank it and it does not fire right up it will flood (though I have not had this issue now that it is tuned). I think the reason I have not run into this anymore is just keeping the plugs fresh. I am not sure how you can set up the Inj. lag on the haltech but that may be the answer. I just have not went back and played with the lag on mine as it will change the complete fuel map and require a retune..

 

Bryant,

Was this your car at Nopi?

 

i had the fuel system installed after i repalce the motor, had it tune to 4000rpm and no boost.
and has been like this ever sense.
it only just got past brake-in (2000miles) and maybe started doing it at 1600 miles?
i have sense replace the spark plug aprox.... 8 times!
and it just to get it to crank.
i can push it off and it will start every time.
runs like **** till it gets warm, have to hold the gas pedal to keep it from idling to low,
unless it has new spark plugs.

no i dont have a wideband installed yet.
on the haltech the a/f says 455mh, but on the gauge it just goes red for lean and green for rich and its all the way green as it can get.

 

yes sir thats me.

i looked on the internet for weeks after nopi and i guess you and 2 other places are the only people that got pics and posted on the net?

cool man .

 

DAMN I hated to miss this event!!!!

 

Kenny, Next time buddy... next time...

Oh, Just in case.. There is a new DGRR website with new forum... Go check it out and sign on!

Little plug there..

 

What are you doing for ignition? How cold of plugs? Instead of buying plugs try to bead blast them and clean up with air compressor.. Never played with a Haltech but I would play with the fuel settings in the idle atart up area. Maybe pull fuel after you get the plugs dried and it on flooded. I have just heard of so many having this issue when running 1000cc primary's.

 

i have 4 haltech ls1 ignitors and run stock plugs.

and yes i have a bunch off bead blasting to do(8sets).
i did it once before and the plugs lasted 1 day, next day no crank.

by the way clean you pm box.haha

 

well I have not tried running my plugs after blasting them.... hope they are ok as I just did my $30 per plug 10.5 NGK's??

I sent you a PM..

 

stock plugs like 7's and 9's or 9's all around?

Looks like Clark Hamilton had a nice payout for the day.

 

Brian Mince didnt do bad him self.

 

Its pretty easy to win all three if you make over 300WHP than others around you

If there was a 7 making 300HP less, I think they would of won the other two competition.. (ET and MPH).
