Got the car running today but found some things that need to be worked out. The sandwich adapter thingy for the oil cooler is leaking. The ecu water temp is off by like 30 degree's so the fans didnt turn on and it got hot. Tps wires were wrong. I still need to figure out the alt wires. Got the peak and hold injectors but dont know what value to put in the ecu. Didnt have it running long enough to start working on the tune. Going to put the wide band on it tomarro once the small things are taken care of.Comment

With the bullseye turbo she starts to spool at about 3500 and gets full boost at about 4500. Pulls to 7000 and stays pretty flat to 8k. Got the rev limit at 8k right now. Made 630 at 23psi and the oil cooler sprung a leak. Was on 50% 91 and 50% 104.
You could tell once we added the half race gas to it, the motor sounded alot better. Much happier on race gas. The graph smoothed out alot. I have 10gal of c16 waiting for when its ready to go for high boost. 23psi seems like it will be fine to drift on though. Its just spinning the tires once on boost, drove it up and down the road just to see. I need to take the car out to an event and drive it a bit to see what else needs to be worked on. I'll take it back for more boost and tuning after I can make sure everything else is good.Comment

if drift avengers wants to buy your car, how much would you charge?
keep in mind that you should price out all the parts you've put on it, and add about $5k to $10k on top of that.Comment

Dont know how to answer this. You have to understand that I can't sell this car till I fulfill the obligations made to the sponsors. Building the car is one thing, getting it out to events is another.Originally posted by YOitzJDM View Post
I also dont think I could put a value on the car. Just the man hours that have gone into this build is around 500 hours. Times that by what you think you would pay a shop to do the work.Comment

Took the SC300 to el toro but the fuel pump decided it didnt want to participate, so the car just didnt run right all day. What a waste.Comment

I was pretty disapointed after spending so much on that damn fuel pump for it to just give up like that. When I say what a waste, to me its just a waste of money. I dont want another one of those pumps now but to replace it with something else will cost even more to modify the fuel lines and such.Comment

The Vette is a beast. We are still working on the suspension to fit my driving style. I'm so used to driving low hp cars that I like my steering to always be grippy. The Vette is going over to Techno Square and I'm going to start working my magic to it. Have a few things with the rack that we will be changing. Sonoma is pretty close so we dont have much time. I did ok in Seattle, got 24th in qualifying and ran against JR for top 32 and lost the round.
Got to work on the Lexy yesterday and found a bunch of crap in the fuel filter. Cleaned that out and hopefully that will solve the fuel issues. Going to start cleaning up the car, it will be going to the Seibon meet on the 29th. Took some of the flames off and going to redo some of the vinyl.

Got to do some testing over at Drift Day with both the Vette and the Lexy. The Vette is the best its been yet. We played with the alignment and the shock settings and got to do some crazy 100 mph drifts.
The Lexy wasnt as lucky. I'm still having problems with the fuel filter getting clogged up. I just have a small earls -10 inline filter with the screen element and it fills up with crud. Looks like its the foam material from the cell. When we got there it already had low fuel pressure, so we cleaned the filter and got it running good. The problem is it would only stay clean long enough to get a few runs in then you would notice it leaning out on the top end. So we took it apart and cleaned it again and same thing, it would stay clean for just a few laps and start to lean out so I just put the car away. Dont want to risk destroying the motor for some cheep fuel filter.Comment
