first strip runs

Post by greasemonkey688 »

well on friday night I wired in an apexi boost solenoid controlled by the em70 ecu and the car was mapped Saturday

so at 1.9 bar I made 412 whp and torque is 345, water meth has been fitted but not mapped so hasn't been used yet also I still haven't had a chance to dial in the cams but couldn't resist a blast down the strip lol so on sunday I headed to crail raceway

unfortunately my clutch was slipping after the 2nd run as soon as I hit boost ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

but that was only to be expected lol with an exedy stage 1 fast road clutch so I know have a stage 3 race 3 puck clutch to fit this weekend, other issues where after 3 runs the intercooler was getting hot so had to let it cool so need more airflow. I only had falken road tires on so could benefit from stickies and lastly after the day was over my oil catch can was full so I think this is a combination of too thin an oil im on millers 10/40 so going to go to 10/60 unless anyone has a better suggestion? also the cusco oil catch can is too small I think for the boost level im running now.

not a bad result for preliminary testing though

tonight I fitted a rear facing Subaru bonnet vent to allow more airflow through the intercooler
