Taco's hopes and mostly dreams.

I want to be like you when I grow up

[JCarp90]

You should also setup flat shift. Just because.

[squidmaster]

Good luck! That's a tight deadline

[TheTacoMan]

Autocross is this weekend, Challenge accepted to finish the car in time. 90% of the time rushed things end badly but this is for auto-x. :hitler:

[TheTacoMan]

Ill keep an eye on it. Now Im just trying to figure out how Im going to setup my two step and clutch pedal switch.

[Northern]

Keep an eye on that tensioner, it may not like the extra pressure.

[kamotors]

I shall make your intake temp predictions now.

10-15degrees above ambient from 1-5 psi
Ambient from 7-10psi(when meth kicks in yo!)
Rising to 120degrees at 7k at 17psi

[Ether-D]

No need for a burn out machine :D

Right!? I don't need a bunch of youtube hits, just an awesome car.

[TheTacoMan]

So the plan is to get this running in the next week or so with just the turbo. I am going to get data on intake charge temps, when I see 1 psi and when the turbo fully spools. I want to get these baselines to see exactly what changes when I add the supercharger to the equation. Everyone Knows that superchargers are not as efficient so I expect to see a rise In charge Temps.


I want to shoot for about 17psi, driveability is important to me. No need for a burn out machine :D

I gotta admit, I looooove that blue timing belt.

If you are planning to take your engine apart I got mine from BluntTech for around 35$ I think.

and fixed, needed more tension, had to use a wrench to apply medium pressure to the tensioner and then push the teeth into place lightly by hand. I'm guessing thats becasue the gates racing belt is so much tighter fit than a contitech is. The spring on the tensioner is no where near strong enough to apply pressure to the belt on its own. Spins nice and smooth now and lines up every time.

Good to know, about to install one of these gates racing belts

since its been installed for a few days I'll see if I can get some more tension out of it safely, maybe its stretched a bit since first install

[LJ851]

... thats still not how its supposed to be.

Correct.
