The street shenanigans thread has me back in the garage working on a few things that I’ve had sitting around, honestly this isn’t a super fun job but not as bad as I’ve been making it out to be in my head

 

[Sprayin]

There is a street shenanigans thread?

 

[Mook]

In meets.

 

[Mook]

Rolls tho. You'll hate it.

 

[Sprayin]

Rolls are gay

 

[1quick]

And I’m back out in the garage damn work getting in my way, figured this may make my life a little easier

 

[1quick]

I think I’m going to take the links off the front sway bar while I’m in here to see if that helps my 60 it does on pretty much every other rwd car so I figured it can’t hurt

 

[1quick]

crank pulley is done it made a nice mid range tq increase, considering the temps ive never had tire spin from 50mph in hot weather it always hooks up unless its like 50 out and my tires are almost bald, will be nice to see the increase in trap speed, I may actually dyno it now also if i have time

20% OD balancer?

 

[1quick]

20% OD balancer?

its only a 5% od, you have to cut some stuff and buy a different tentioner bracket to do any more than 5% and I just didn't want that right now, I can buy a 15-25% ring later if I want but the next step will just be a gen 3R blower

Doing some of that routine maintenance, the car has been fairly neglected this year I’ve just been driving it in shit weather conditions and hardly washing it lol, changing the oil decided to clean the valve cover breathers, note after 3000 miles how filthy the valve covers are like every one tells me they should be running breathers

 

[Jeffs FRC]

You running a catch can or just open breathers?

 

[1quick]

You running a catch can or just open breathers?

I just have open breathers been that way for the last 18000 miles, I had a catch can on my 14 and one of the crimps was bad took me a while to find that vacuum leak, I decided I wasn’t messing with that on this car earlier on

 

[1quick]

I get these ideas and have to try them out, 1quick car sprinkler system install?

 

[1quick]

Full race mode and regular street mode, open one valve and completely bypass the front heat exchanger for track ice tank use, swap valves and it uses the heat exchanger for street driving, probably worth nothing hp wise but it should move water faster through only the core and keep my cold water cold for longer, the heat exchanger just heats the ice water at the track anyway, so I basically just added weight and got nothing out of it because I always have to fuck with something, will report back with flow findings lol

Have you datalogged your post blower temps? On all the street logs ive done a 2-3-4 wot pull, my IAT2 actually decreases by a couple degrees C.

I data log all the time lol, on long pulls when it’s cool out it drops for the first gear or so to ambient then starts creeping back up, when it’s crazy hot out like now it will drop similar but it goes up pretty good by the end of a couple gears, i think my intercooler pump is dieing I was messing with it yesterday and only getting a trickle out of the return hose, when everything is working right at the track with ice in the tank and 85ish * out side I see around 90* at the end of a pass, I’m going to bite the bullet and buy that beast emp pump

 

[1quick]

I should be seeing sub ambient temps with ice I believe for a full pass

 

[1quick]

well I tried to get some data on the way to work in the cooler weather and the car is a bit scary in 2nd gear now, the tq hits hard enough at 5k rpm that the car starts skating around a bit and that was on some pretty good roads, im going to try to let some tire pressure out tomorrow and it will probably be fine I think i have 30 psi in them right now

 

[1quick]

I also bit the bullet and ordered the emp reprogrammed intercooler pump, had it next day shipped because im taking the car to Michigan for vacation this week and want to see how it does with the new pump on a few hour road trip

 

[1quick]

Pump kind of rigged for now I don’t have time to make a bracket for it today and I’m leaving with the car tomorrow for Michigan, but damn that’s a bad pump right there

 

[1quick]

After talking to a few guys and testing the rule pump with no back pressure, I’m going to use it to feed the emp pump

 

[Great White Drake]

That new pump is massive lmao. Man this car impresses tf outta me. Drove behind me the whole way to the track and was 2 seconds faster. Great street car!

 

[1quick]

After getting the pump in and going it’s hardly flowing either, decided to take the hoses off the core and blow air through it, a bunch of sediment and corrosion came out, so I rigged up a garden hose back flush lol
