Default Good day/Bad day <<pics>>

The good day:
Helped a friend out by taking out his AEM and loading up Uberdata. DelSol w/ Turbo B16 HMT style. Hooked up my WB and gave it a decent street tune.






Car running good. Small stumbles on tip in/out but nothing serious. Id put up some vid, but I left my FireWire cable at my dads. :P

Bad Day:

It started off good atleast.
Heres my old T3 next to my shiny new snail. SC61 baby.



Put in my shorty radiator with some saws-all help, and some new brackets. Put my Hdata back in so I could datalog the A/F and exact timing that was being achieved.
First impressions? Holy ---- this thing takes FOREVER to spool on a 1.6l lol. I started out at about 10psi, then turned it up abit. As usual, I got some boost creep to 14psi on the high cam. Boy did it feel good, until I saw the small cloud of smoke behind the car, lol. I can usually hear it ping no problem, but not this time. #3 ringlands as usual.



As usual I need sleep and a haircut.

Time for another round of upgrades. Coming back bigger and better.

What boost controller are you using?? A 4 psi spike is a ton!! I can just imagine how it would feel if my car spiked from 9 to 13.

Naa, on 10psi there is no creep. I turned it up a bit and it seemed like it did. Hell it was hard to tell if it was creep, or the fact that it wouldnt hit full boost till cross-over. Im using a TurboXS hooked up in a very non-conventional way. Notice how there are lines on both the top and bottom of my Deltagate...
