mikey32235's ride thread

[Mr Wilson]

The head is still the limiting factor. Isn't the real benefit to the PNP IM the more balanced flow? I'm sure there's a gain, but not huge.

[mikey32235]

From what I read upon, the PNP manifold gives you better airflow but you only notice the diffrence or get gains from that once u tune for it. Otherwise just port the intake. I'm happy that the car is running, it's in great shape and pulls hard through every gear, i got great tires and i did push it last night from a 40 roll till 200, and the only wheelspin I got was a little bit in the top rpm"s in 2nd, but 3-5th absolutely no spin, very surprised, but satisfied I'm definately looking into the fluid low indicator for my meth kit. Is that something I'm going to have to tap into the SP resivoir? And I'm also looking into a safe injection indicator.

Thanks guys

What tires?

[mikey32235]

does anyone know what kind of washer fluid is a 50/50 mix of methyl hydrate? @loki

[loki]

Blue stuff from Walmart

[mikey32235]

found 2 barrels at work we use for the shop, on the top its says concentrate 50, water 50... and best of all its blue. assuming that will work? @loki

No idea

What are you currently running? 50/50? If you're running 100% meth and go down to 50/50, you need a retune.
What size nozzle? This will indicate the current dependency on meth that your tune has and how you should approach changing meth mixes.

Also, about not getting wheel spin with 414wtq. Something is up. At that tq in 3rd gear, you should get nothing but wheel spin at peak torque (circa 3800RPMs). There is no way any tire on the market can grip that on the street. Heck, in these temperatures, gripping that in 4th is hit or miss.

In 4th gear, the car should pull so hard at peak tq that its difficult to keep the car tracking straight in the lane. Ask me how I know

How do you know @BlueStreak

I have no grip in 3rd with rs3's with 353lbs-ft

Haha. I was hoping to keep that rhetorical.

I'm at a flat 370-380wtq all the way to 6K RPMs and I can't keep my car pointed straight for the life of me. At most I can keep it in the lane. Ha.

@MarineMazda and @-cj- saw me do a couple short pulls in mid October before I parked the car for the winter. They can chime in.

[Fack_Dude]

Poor Mikey.

[mikey32235]

Lol this is funny, well ofcourse there is going to be wheelspin, there is ofcourse on first and second gear in the top end, but once im in third i really dont have any. and i dont feel my wheel wanting to pull to one end... mabye you just need to hit the gym as much as i do just kidding.. mabye im used to it and i just know how to control it. im happy with it and i enjoy driving it! such a fun car too bad the winters will be my next investment

[mikey32235]

as for the meth it is a 50/50 mix im tuned for i just confirmed. so i think i have a life time supply here at the shop

LOL. Bluestreak was trying to be nice I think. His is constantly fighting him at WOT... That's how your car should be. There's no getting used to it unfortunately. Every road surface will be different and it isn't predictable.

Are you monitoring your car? Post a log next time you do a pull...

Ok fine

Ok. Watch your knock readouts like a hawk after making the switch. Keep that engine running strong for a long time.

Picked up car on thursday with 414wtq. Used to it by Friday morning


there's a meme here somewhere

You are luck Bluestreak is a nice guy and hasn't ripped you a new one.... At the torque you are making YOU WILL HAVE TORQUE STEER! you just hit this power level and you think you're use to it??? You can never fight torque steer it is always there an apparent....

I chuckle looking back at your posts a year ago and now that you have "built your motor and are making moderate power" you are the expert!

Just a word of advice be humble with what you have learned building a motor makes the car less reliable then ever. Pissing those that can help you off because you know better will hurt you in the future.


Between Bluestreak, Celestespeed, and myself we have built close to 7 motors in the past 8 months.

[pwdunmore]

What's torque steer???

PS where is my built motor?!?!? @MarineMazda lol... I was going thinking of contacting SPEEDPERF6RMANC3 when I accumulate funds.

Miley,

All the real speed guys run rcompound tires. You gotta stop buying that cheap Asian knockoffs bro. Keep it real.
