Gonna have to wait 3-4 days. I went out this morning and burned half a tank + 2 gallons of meth. Got home and found one of my t fittings was leaking. The good people at ProMeth got me sorted quick but it's going to be a few days shipping

 

[riceburner]

Well thats a full circle closure to why i gave up on meth lol

 

[riceburner]

Ok dweebs i turned off t/c ALL THE WAY. Low and behold basically the same #s as before. E30 mix in the tank

 

[Salami]

Your 60ft still sucks.

Why the E30? Maybe it is doing more harm than helping because the tune is for 93?

 

[riceburner]

Just to help keep the car from pulling timing due to stock IC iats lol.

I concur the 60' sucks. Might be that my launch control is set to 3000 which is too low. Other r guys seem to find the sweet spot for this turbo to be 4k to 4500

I don't measure 60'. But my launch is at 4k, and I routinely have under a 4s 0 - 60, at least reading the Cobb datalogs. Haven't had a chance to run it on Dragy yet.

 

[riceburner]

Time for partout then

 

[Acadia18]

Can you change what the car launches at? Or is it just a set thing and done with APR?

Eh, it lasted 5 years. The fitting is only $15 and takes about 3 mins to replace

I don't know about the TCU tune Rice has but normally it can be set two ways from what I was told.

One launch RPM or it can be set to use the kick down switch for 2 or 3 different launch RPMs.

I think it’s just set and forget at the flash. I had mine set to 4k.

Something appears off in your setup and it doesn’t seem like it’s the intercooler. The acceleration map on the 0-60 is squirrelly.

 

[riceburner]

Yeah, APR sets it upon request.

But i'm way overdue to logs dammit logs!

 

[riceburner]

Fiddle-fuckin around
Had to replace start button not just cause it was manky but also starting to not work. Not a hard job
Also my floormat endeavors continue, got some diamond mats off a local bloke
Coded out some errors and got my auto updown windows working again

Had another fun day detailing! Finally polished the 7R.

Gotta say, the metallic paint is a CHALLENGE to see what im doing. So hard to find swirls in almost any light but i know they are there somewhere.

Performed much the same as the fiero.
Multistage wash, including a decon spray, claybar, followed by a strip wash. Dry and wipe down with 91% alocohol. Then got to work polishing using hexlogix orange pads and mostly chemicalguys v55 polish with some heavier cutting in a few spots.

Followed it up with adam's graphene sealant pro grade. Knocked down all the high spots. Now i shoukd be able to dry my car with a leaf blower!

Though i cant really quanitfy how much swirl markage i removed i did knock the orange peel down a hair and she is looking good!
