selling my WAR chip stuff so I can go with MS and bigger Fuel injectors.

Yay!!

Well I tried 13psi but don't have enough fuel or meth to make it safe.

my car has some sort of torque steer issues now, at first it almost felt as if I broke a control arm but when I let off it fixed. My car squats extremely hard now that the weather is warm and I can really hook up. Basically if I gun it from 1-2 gear my tires start lighting up around 45mph and then my front end gets light and I dart off in weird directions, I'm thinking a combo of maybe weak bushings and over 300whp is causing what feels like torque steer.

Chassis flex?

how are your subframe and trailing arm bushings?

I had a clunk but that turned out to be the diff bushing not being bolted in all the way and I just swapped diffs so I no longer have any clunks.

I need to take a closer look still. Also my front camber seems kind of much for a car with new OEM shock mounts and control arms.

so the E30 survived a full day of auto-x and performed really well, but the turbo lag is killing my times. I'm having to go WOT much before the apex of a turn to even accelerate out of it quickly. setting up a anti-lag system for low load with a throttle kick that will only be used for the quick 60second auto-x runs; will try setting it up today.

[kamotors]

antilag isnt possible with the war chip, my setup helps but I only go from -20psi off the gas to -15 psi but the war chip doesn't let me retard enough in the bottom end. I get a nice pops off throttle and the turbo is spooling at idle but not enough.

[Cronopoulos]

What about a smaller turbo? ;)

Glad to hear shes rocking it out there, any in car video?

well, I think I found most of the leak. I replaced all the vacuum line I had with silicone vac/boost/ line just in case one had a tear in it. I discovered my catch can had a small leak at the sight tube, so I deleted the sight tube and plugged the holes. car still had a miss at idle, but would only go to about 17AFR now. I decided to remove and reassemble my BOV and when I opened it I found that the diaphragm seems to be pinched slightly crooked at its mounting surface. I lubed it up and put it back together and let the car warm up again and it still had a slight miss but my afr was staying right around 14AFR now which is good.. I pressure tested the BOV to about 25psi and it held great so I'm not sure what the issue is now, just a slight miss only once the car is warmed up now.

I now have the same exact problem? Coincidence we both are boosted and war chipped? with 30# injectors.. I have no leaks... car is warm it does that..

reset the battery and check your BPV or BOV vacuum can suck them open at idle. My car idles pretty good now actually. I think its some glitch that fixes with resetting the battery. My friend is N/A with war chip and got some crazy engine misfires and shaking, thought he broke a rocker, we reset the battery and its all fixed now.

Thanks for the tip I will try it.

It only does it once every 5 start or so... cold or hot! weird....

soo, when I have a little extra cash I'm going to try to make the E30 more stable. now that I can hit speeds which I wont mention the car is very floaty.I can do 120mph in 4th gear no problem. MY Subaru feels like its glued to the floor at 80mph turns but the E30 cant even begin to take the same turns at 80mph. Its sad when you can pressure an E30 off the track without even getting the subaru to squeal its tires.

going to basically do what STI has done.
rear diffuser(easy)
smooth undertray
and then a small CF gurney flap.


I will start producing carbon fiber parts late next month.
