    Car loves e85....what next?

    I had Jimmy rebuild the trans last year with his race trans configuration. Should be good well into the 10's.

    Car loves e85....what next?

    I'm setting up for a larger turbo and was thinking that the stock elbow might not flow enough. I never really thought about a larger dp until I started thinking about a bigger turbo. Wouldn't I get more out of a larger turbo with a 3" downpipe? With the turbo I'm going to do larger injectors...

    Car loves e85....what next?

    Thank you guys. That'll be next on the mod list. I'm looking at the RJC 3" w/internal wg. Looks like it should bolt up with no fitment issues.

    Car loves e85....what next?

    My 1987 WE4 is dialed in on e85. IDC is at 80% (60#) with an afr of 11.0, 22psi. I am going to swap out the 2 year old racetronix pump with a DW301 in the near future. No track time, just a street car for now but i'd have to guess low 12's with my combo. It's a blast on the street! I...

    Ignore narrow band readings?

    Hey guys, I've added a wideband to my WE4. I was getting a little bit of kr at 15psi (.5, 1.5). I added a wideband and afr's were at 11.5. Lowered the boost to 13psi. Hooked up my homemade boost leak tester and found leaks at the vacuum block (hoses and gasket). I replaced it with a billet...

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    I checked with Eric at tt. He said that should be fine as long as it's running well. Blm's are in range. Thanks!!

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    Thanks Drewster. Base pressure line off is a little high. Maybe it's because of the new pump and hotwire. Blms are good so I should be good to go.

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    Thanks!! It should be here tomorrow. I put the fuel pressure gauge on my tta and it read 40 key on, 38 running at idle line on. The Buick read 40 key on but 43 line on. I guess the gauge is good. Not sure why the Buick would read 5psi high at idle & under boost. Same 237 regulator. The...

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    I'm running 93 octane. I'll install the LT1 MAF and Translator this weekend and add WOT fuel as necessary. I've got 60's now so at least I don't have to worry about running out of injector!

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    I got .2 - 1.2 kr on the scanmaster but it didn't increase from there. Once I get the translator I'll watch for knock and increase fuel as necessary.

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    Trans and motor mounts were replaced in June. I found a loose bracket on the intake over the weekend and tightened it down. Part throttle knock is gone. Knock in third is right after the shift and doesn't increase. With fuel pressure good I'm going to install an LT1 MAF and translator...

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    I hooked up the fuel pressure tester gauge. It read 43 vac line on and 48 vac line off. I'm using a non adj bosch 237 reg so i'm assuming that the $40 actron test gauge is reading high. At 10 psi of boost it read 58 and at 14psi boost it read 62. It looks like fuel pressure is rising...

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    The pcv and grommet are new from kirbans. I pulled the up-pipe and it is clean, throttle body is clean as well. I put a new denso o2 in today and o2's improved to mid 700's. They also read 800 at idle (the old one was in the 400 range) I swapped the maf out with the one from my tta (original...

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    Okay while waiting for the fuel pressure gauge to arrive I looked at the AF numbers at WOT (13 psi boost). I'm showing only 214. During one run it dipped to 180. My thinking is that it isn't locking in at 255 at WOT and this is causing my lean condition.

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    No Chuck not yet. I do have a new denso on the shelf. I forgot to mention that I also installed a RJC power plate when I replaced the injectors. I'll get a fuel pressure gauge and check pressure as well as swap out the o2.

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    CCs are moving along slowly and in larger increments than my TTA.

    Knock at light throttle, full throttle new 60's and chip

    My next step would be to do that. The Bosch regulator is set at 42psi at idle I believe, non adjustable. The fuel pump is several months old. The car runs strong with no hesitation. There is knock on the scanmaster at low speeds/light throttle as well.
