I'm planning on trying it that way tonight. How is part throttle?

Felt the same as Wills car and he's running his N75. Are you DBW or nDBW??..might be different on DBW cars. Try it. turn teh boost up carefully..don't wanna over boost that thing.

Digit@lex · 10-28-2004, 02:18 PM

But since I'm a T-28er, I'd like to see how it responds. I remember Will mentioning that there was little to no difference.

Ray Khan · 10-28-2004, 03:30 PM

in these temps it must have been a lot.

I'm going to try one more attempt to trap 100+ or hit 13's tommorow night. I am throwing the tolulene in tonight and driving to work and to the track with the car on 100 prog and hoping for the best. I'll probably keep the subs and spare in unless I have a friend there to store stuff with.

I don't notice part throttle jerkiness which is good. I'm not exactly sure where the MBC is set but I think it is ~18psi. It was about 50 degrees this evening. I did see 2nd gear spike to about 20 psi though. I'm pretty much holding at ~18 psi in 4th too. I guess I'll have to drive it tomorrow in the afternoon when it's warmer to find out. BTW, I found out I'm missing a nut on one of the turbine-side housing bolt-to-cat adapter. I think that's where some of that exhaust smell I was noticing the last month is coming from.

As for timing, it's weird. In my middle (3rd gear) runs, I pulled back as much as 11 deg. but then in later (3rd gear) runs, I pulled back 6-8 deg. Not sure why it pulled back less in later runs.

I think part of it is the 93. I usually run 94 (haha not sure what 1 octane can do) but I'm going to fill up on some 100 tomorrow if I can get to one of the stations that carry it and then do some more runs to see what happens.

Good luck tomorrow! I am supposed to go dragging but I think want to take care of that missing nut.

If the Red Sox can win a WS, then you can get into the 13s tomorrow! ;-)

I have a full tank of "100" right now. 5 gallons of tolulene and the rest is 93. It's nice and cold out so the car felt great on the commute. I'll try to be down to half a tank or so by the time I get to epping. I was going to throw on my 16" winters, but I figure I have some recent times on the 18's so I'll keep them on for comparsion. I probably won't be able to ditch my subs/laptop until my buddy arrives later in the evening with his car. I brought my motorcycle helmet....just in case :>P

Ray Khan · 10-29-2004, 04:38 AM

not sure if we can really compare the engines/turbos because his turbo is smaller in relation to his engine (stock 14G) than ours to our engines, but his boost seems to spike with his standalone MBC. Stever or Will, did you guys see any spiking with the MBC?

So Alex, do you hit full boost in 1st and 2nd gear with the MBC?
