OK, here is one thread for all of us up here in New Jersey instead of two.

Things went ok today I guess, well for me at least, my ride isn't crashed and motor isn't blown... yet.... lol

First turn is a 45mph 110degree left hander with banking as steep as OSW, concrete wall up top and then a 300ft straight with K-rail down the right side.... it's pretty sick actually, I really wish I had some OSW experience to deal with the banking.


Estie says: I got the wall on my first run of the day. Was taking it easy, and kicked it out on the banking but did some dumb shit and somehow straightened. Hit wall with right front and busted the new coilover.

The TC ripped apart,control arm folded, and the right front strut tower is moved in bout 1inch. easy fix

Cool Jersey cat named Wes loaned Estie some stock 240sx parts so he can run qualifying laps for points tomorrow.

Ryan is running Chelseas welded diff, doing pretty good, the miata doesnt like uphill drifting, but he laced a few runs that I saw.

Raffi hit wall with RF in suprise friday practice session, busted a contorl arm or something, fixed it. Did fine in practice today, then tandem practice he scrubbed the nose during a spin by he wall, and later hit a lil hrder, bending core support or something. I didnt get a chance to look at the car...

My car was running fine for half of the day, but the front was washing out a bit and my suspension didnt like the banking at all.....

Then I dropped the right side tires off and my super homo-mount wastegate slammed the ground under the car. Not sure what exactly went wrong, but the wastegate decided that 16psi would be wayyyy more rad than the 10psi Iam tuned for...

Maybe it likes the cool PING PING KNOCK CRACKLE POP POP POP noises my motor make when it leans out. I tried everything to fix it, but I cant. I think the wastegate housing is bent and the valve cant open properly. I removed the seat seal so it would leak exhaust like crazy, and it's still making 16psi, just more laggy......

Raised the fuel pressure to try and richen it up and it helped a little, but still detonating like crazy at 16psi. Did a few ok runs in the rain and parked it for tghe night.

Quali is in the morning and I guess I can look forward to blowing my headgasket and all kinds of other coolness. If it's wet, the car wont build as much boost and I should qualify ok.....

reading.... learn it


But yeah I wish you luck with the overboost thing. cause i want to see some good video and shit
 
just find some race gas and dump it in. theres gotta be someone selling it there at the track
 
yo sean gimme a call guy lmao been trying to reach you all week lmao 954-701-7829
 
The real problem is that I have 32lb injectors and also the M52 is said to only hold 10-12psi.

Boost gauge said 16-17psi, so like 420hp,....... not cool on 32lb injectors...

My car made 300rwhp at 10psi btw.

I put the fuel pressure up to 65psi and threw some 100octane though. It helped a lil but still detonating pretty bad unless I feathered the throttle.

Feathering also was a huge bitch cause the course was top of second gear for me and my turbo is about 75% blown. I was flooring the throttle as soon as entered, still holding e-brake in order to get it to spool before the exit.....

blah, judges said I put two tires off during both quali runs so I didnt make it. Lowest quali score was a 63 though and I think my runs were worth a 70ish before the zero for 2tire drop. One of the drops was both REAR tires as I pulled a 90degree slide into the hairpin and linked it, so whatever

Oh and mad props to my new sponsor S-MAX Intercoolers!! check them out

Sean if you wanted better Gas you should have said somthing they sold octane like 106 and 114 on the other side of the race track

Highest they had unleaded was 100, and it was still $7/gallon. I put 3gallons of that in though.

Still not sure on the broken CV or not, I just drove a circle in the parking lot and the rear tires were skipping a lot, but then it made a funny rattling noise and they seemed to skip less. Then normal skipping agai backing into parking spot.

I need a less agressive clutch I think, it just breaks too much stuff....
