4 videos from today

[MazKid]

1st video is an "oops!" moment, got wheel spin in 1st and tried to quick shift to 2nd and my trans never lets me do that. lol


2nd video is a few seconds later, running 2nd-3rd-4th. You can tell it's just a bit faster than the video I posted of the non-turbo BP in my build thread. The car's running 11-13psi today...I think there's a boost leak or something and haven't had a chance to see what's up with the wastegate either because it should open at like 8psi but it doesn't.


3rd video is 1st-2nd-3rd-4th with a small pull in 5th...the damn dump truck pulled out right infront of me from the shoulder and kinda screwed me up.


4th video is a small pull in 2nd.


That is all...out-of-car videos coming soon...

how fast are the cars on the interstate going in vid 3? They were ahead of you when you entered the ramp, and you passed them before you got on the highway.

Sweet, glad she's runnin smooth! As for your wastegate, as long as you're not having boost creep go over the 15psi i'd leave it alone. 10-13psi sounds perfect to me.

I'd say 65-70. Not really sure...that's not an interstate, it's just a big highway-like road with a 60mph speedlimit. Yeah I bombed that onramp, hahaha.

Yeah boost doesn't creep up, but I was kind of surprised that it was running lower boost today, though it was slightly warmer today than the previous week or more, like 55 for the high whereas the past few days it's been 15-20 degrees cooler. I guess that could account for it but I'll definitely re-check my bypass setup to make sure it's all still there. It kinda makes a diesel-truck whistle that I don't remember it doing before putting the bypass on it so it could have a pin-hole leak in one of the hoses...plus one of the hoses isn't reinforced so that could be an issue, but it was the only thing I had that fit on the nipple on the piece of IC piping I used.

Neuman, MX-3_4evr, Jon - Yeah...I'm having too much fun with it. I'm trying to get people to race me but now that the exhaust is back on no one bothers me. Open downpipe and anyone in anything thought I was prey. lol

Hah well the track isn't open. Even if it was, I apparently suck at launching so my times would be screwed. I do plan on hitting the dyno if there's any local events, just to see what it's doing...but I wish I could control the boost to get a power range.

Also thanks to the people of CP that have helped me over the years to get my car where it is today.

I can clearly hear it driving the car just the camera didn't pick it up I guess.
