Unless it snaps

My grandpa passed earlier this week so I've been dealing with all that but I took the whole week off and might try and get the car running by the end of the weekend. I miss this car a lot lol

 

My condolences. Perhaps working on the car can give some emotional diversion.

 

Sorry for your loss, Aidan.

 

Thanks guys.

Got some things done.



Should be running next weekend. Pretty excited.

 

​​​​​​Gettin somewhere...

 

 

I'm gonna have the LS coils still.

 

 

WOOOOOOOOO

 

noice

 

Got it halfway buttoned up. It's hot here, and I fucked my ankle up so things go slowly.

Got the coolant burped and exhaust installed. Need to do a bolt check and get it back on the ground before a test drive.

Hopefully track day on the 2nd.

 

Excellent

 

Car drove today. Smokes when you get on the gas after engine braking....so I just shift into neutral.

Probably tired rings but I don't care at this point. It's nice to have a running car again.

 

T00ning question.

Old setup was 8.6 weisco pistons, new setup is 99-00 stock pistons. (so 9.5:1?)

How much timing should I pull as a base map. I was thinking 5* in boost. 3* out of boost?

 

I dont think I would change anything under 100 kpa.

 

Should have clarified. I meant pulling timing in boost.

I'm going to knock a few degrees out under 100kpa, but mostly i care about 0-5psi.

 

Pulled some timing in the midrange, trying to keep torque low on stock rods.

150kpa will make 200ft/lbs, so I'm staying below that for track duty.

 

Here is my "meh" timing map. Seems to be working alright...

 

Why does it go up and down as boost increases?

 

Because he has yet to comprehend smoothing and interpolation
