Dont actually know whats cause this, but ill explain whats been done since having it.I think the car was at its peak when it was stock with a pod + 3" exhaust (no cat)

Then a few things went in.......

265 r 235 f tyres with heavy wheels

fmic

removed cold air box to fit cooler, and never placed back in(long story)

gapped sparkies to .5-.6mm as i was getting alot of missing and couldnt increase boost (this may be a big factor?)

bought the sau boost tap and set to .8bar atm

put in a split dump pipe

i feel a combination of the too low gapping of the sparkies, and the big heavy wheel/tyr combo over stock is causing me too have made the big loss.

Is it right for my car to be running rich at this level w/o tune?how can you generally tell if your car is running rich, i most definitely think mine is.

What would you guys reccomend me do to fix my loss?

Thats what i was thinking aswell, may just replace my sparkies, whats sparkies would you reccomend?may just be that theyve gotten weak over time, car has done lots of k's now. I have a Split Dump into a 3" exhaust the whole way. The guys definitely got rid of the missing problem and thus let me increase the boost, but how much have i lost in the process.

How low should the sparkies go when gapped on a failry stockish car like mine?..... 0.8mm?

by having 265 tyres on the rear you have added (depending on the tre size you had on there before hand) up to 120mm of extra tread on the rear, plus between 20 and 40mm of tread on the front. that is a fair bit of resistance.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
