ok i hope this wont end up really long, but to make it short, my car is slow again...yeah yeah you say im getting used to the turbo...bullshit...i lost to a civic EX today. i missed 2nd and 3rd gear and i was following him and had to wait in first for him to gain some ground but still he started to pull away from me once i grabbed third. the only answer i have to this problem is that im running hella rich because my AF gauge sits at the last green light at WOT and doesnt budge. dont most of your AF gauges have like the last 4 lights lit during boost (just the last one that is brightest)? im gonna have to get another fuel pressure gauge (my HRC gauge leaks) and re-adjust pressure cause i have no clue why i lost to a fuckin shitvic and it wasnt even an si. i dont know maybe modded, but still. fuck it, that little bastard is probably telling all his friends about how he left this turbo eclipse. fuck im pissed. also i curbed my rim and cracked my front bumper in my own piece of shit driveway tonight. i want to sell my rims...i want 10psi and a rebuild...i cannot afford said rebuild...i want to sell my car.
if anyone has a gtech or some similiar tool to measure power i would really like to borrow/rent it from you...i need to wire it directly cause i dont have a cig lighter. that would tell me whether im actually as slow as i think.any takers?

do what I do... have a few shots and a couple a beers tonight.

Fix your a/f and fuel pressure guage tomorrow and then tommorrow night go honduh huntin'!

You've got all the hardware to bitch-slap that mo-fo... Get that shit tuned up and find the shitvic.

he prolly squeezed on you lindsay

Hmm that civic probably had some goodies on it. As for the AF gauge bwahahah mine is running superly duperly rich, the last LED is bright as hell and the I guess 1 or 2 is dimly lit to the left. At least your not running lean. To go over 10 psi you'd have to upgrade your injectors also, or maybe it was 12 I forget. Could be that your rims are too heavy also.

I have a g-tech for sale if you want it. 75.00 and still in perfect condition w/ manual.

Don't complain about running rich until you dynolog your car and find out that at idle, you average 02 volatage is a steady .98v, and under boost it is .99v..... i am running a wee bit rich... check for leaks, etc... all the usual, do a general tune up of any worn parts, and take her to the dyno and have a mechanic help tune your car.. i bet you'd be amazed how much of a difference one session at the dyno could produce...

Cyan...question:

What's up with the fluting on your BOV? I posted this question earlier, but I guess you didn't see the post.

Peas

yeah theres no dyno anywhere near me, i live in fuckville georgia. the fluting? you mean the holes? yeah i drilled holes in it...it got hella louder. fuck a honduh. and if he was squeezin he should be more pissed than me, cause a nitrous'd EX should have severly spanked me considering i missed 2 shifts. im only pissed because despite missing the two critical gears, i STILL should have smoked that piece.

You could always make the trip to the dyno up here in atlanta ;)


A.D.P.
bring it on............

yeah well i dont have $500 either. if i did id be there

maybe this little piece EX had GS-R engine and turbo?

I can get on the dyno here for 100 bucks an hour, if you have all your shit straight and know what your gonna do, you shouldnt take all day or anything, and they usually wont get bent if you run a little over your scheduled time... Expecially if its a nice car like yours. Take a mechanic with you that knows how to tune, or better yet, what I am doing is taking my car when my mechanic is tuning his car, that way he is already there, and in the mood to dyno, and he'll just do it for free for a few bucks cash...

run it at the track

i ran a nitroed civic SI and i didn't pull on him till about 110mph and then i gained a couple lengths on him and with my mods i should be putting out around 260 to the flywheel......about the same as a stage 2 HRC(265fwhp)
