It's a perspective thing, our local safeties are actually quite good and have a tendency towards caution since we have some slightly more reckless than usual drivers XD.
We all got real spooked in the trailer after a cherry NSX spun and looked like it stopped a foot from a pole, in reality it was still 30' away. Perspective is weird.
I'm really struggling to get a solid VE table with this setup currently. It's dead on under load but goes super lean when the BOV opens under partial load (25-40kpa and 3K-4.5K). Even weirder is that right at that spot I have a bunch of extra fuel being added, but I'll still see lean reading there occasionally. VEAL makes my tables all kinds of whack too. I'm baffled because I had no trouble with the 1.6 and this same supercharger/BOV/injectors etc. The car feels fine driving, but the AFRs are not very stable and I haven't been able to get EGO working super well either...
Just kind of venting here because I just want to be able to enjoy my car again instead of spending hours every week trying to fix the tune and just running myself in circles.
Also.... Any Rotrex users here switch to a Kraken setup? If my car is gonna be a pain in my *** I'd love to at least have it be fast/make reasonable boost at altitude.
Still ironing out some tune things, but the car feels good to drive and I'm getting to put some decent runs together. Here's my best from today's autox
Been fighting a car slump for a while now, I finished the rebuild and just haven't been super invested in it since. I'm kinda juggling the idea of parting the car and getting a FiST for a fun roadtripper and city car or starting a LFX RX8 swap since that matches my power/weight as well as comfort/dd/dual purpose goals. I'm open to suggestions in the ~$15K realm for a fun street car that has a bit more comfort (AC lol) than a Miata with a bucket/harness.
It's kinda hard to own a car that only really shines racing when a track day is ~$300 before consumables and gas and everything else is so expensive. I'm gonna at least give it a couple HPDEs before I make a final decision though.
In semi related news I got to practice my self taught welding on a busted up trailer and I'm pretty proud of the result considering I didn't do a practice bead and the massive gap I was filling. I did learn that I need to grind a much larger area clean prior to a weld like this though
