Have one with the black/red mgw ball in the SVO. Simply awesome. J
I have been running with the oregon Porsche club. They do a good job, 40 bucks, 6 runs, usually done by 2:30. Downfall is if you don't have a Porsche they lump you together based on race tire or...
Went to race on 7/14/13. All new shocks/struts, custom valved Bilsteins from Maximum Motorsports. New rear end with 3.27 gears, 4 puck clutch. Changed the antilag tables to make the car easier to...
I made lots of changes to the car this winter; Megasquirt 3 system, HX35 turbo, good intercooler, 120lb injectors, flex fuel sensor, larger fuel lines and pump. Full sequential injection and ignition...
This was from 4/15/2012. Same car setup as before, but some dry weather. The lot that is used is terrible blacktop, starting to really break up, lots of gravel. Another mid-pack finish, first time I...
Figured I would use this thread to document autocrossing, note changes I have made and some results. First one from 3/18/12, cold rainy day. Car with 265/40/17 star specs in back, 255/40/17s in...
I installed an 8.8 with 3.27 gears beginning of the summer. I love the gearing. Perfect for the freeway, makes first gear usable, perfect for autocross. It is a stock ratio in newer mustangs, got...
I switched to the m127 pump after my failures. Used a distributor/auxiliary shaft pulled from a junkyard engine. Now I am up to around 15k miles or so, no issues that I know of, although I wouldn't...
No I'm not. I am sure they get up there quickly. Also would be nice to know turbine speed, as I would imagine that could get dicey. I researched what the rally guys were getting away with in terms of...
This pic shows the ALS plumbing and associated solenoids. They are both 1" diameter, giving lots of bypass airflow. This is why it can create boost without being as harsh as similar systems on rally...
Got my antilag (ALS) solenoids working; turns out I had a bad relay. Hooned around a little in a big empty parking lot testing it. Works very well. Here is a screenshot of my datalog from that event....
Might think about going with a MM Torque Arm, eliminating the upper control arms completely. Since you are doing the subframes and Panhard anyways, it will tie everything together, huge traction...
17x9 wheels all around. I have 255/40/17s on the front and 265/40/17s on the back in this photo (Dunlop Star Specs). Reason I got those tires was to try to fit 265s on the front without rubbing, and...
Makes my amateurish calculations pointless now, doesn't it? :)

Great info jack, do you know what the various pedal ratios are? J
Dry roads and sunny weather today, finally able to try some max throttle. Ended up with a max boost of 30.5 psi, duty cycle was about 85% with an 11:1 AFR at only 4600rpm. Once I get AFRs where they...
Ok, I was lying about the Holiday Inn Express.
Looks like that gives you a 74% front brake bias. You would need to swap master cylinders, going to the Cobra M/C gets you close to the same M/C to...
Hey Chalky, ran through the various setups:
With a stock SVO brake setup the ratio of overall brake piston area (6475 mm^2) to master cylinder bore area (641 mm^2) is 10.1. 64.6% front brake...
Project update: The car starts, runs and drives like stock during normal driving. However, finally decided to try to get the upper reaches of the map tuned, so I planted the throttle in 3rd gear...
They really are a great tool. I know they are not super accurate, but they are handy. Plus lasers are cool. J
Thanks! Not done tuning it yet. First couple tanks looks like I am hitting about 17mpg with E85. Should get better as I get everything dialed in, and stop attempting to make sure everything's working...
Mike, totally appreciate the offer, but I am thinking I will just try to move it so it is within that line moving from the thermostat housing to the heater core. That should always be the hottest...
Mike, wouldn't it be reading coolant that had moved out the head (hottest area), through the heater core, and off of the T the goes to the oil cooler? Especially right now since it is 30 degrees out...
Interesting wiring issue. I had reused the octane switch wiring for a switch to ground to activate antilag, it wasn't working. Finally realized I was attempting to use it to sink current and there is...
I know you stated he is set on the 16x8.5 wheels. Those are going to want a 245/45/16 tire. Very little to choose from in that arena. I see Bridgestone RE-11s at 220 a pop? Everything else in that...
