but it blew up ;) I can up my boost to 30 psi and it would make a nice figure, but may have a similar outcome.

Exactly!

:)

Ever notice too how some people always have some "buffer" excuses about the power/speed of their car, like:

"Oh I made 300rwkw, but I had a leak in the intercooler ... so I could get more power"

"I ran a 11.0 second quarter, but I was running lower boost ... so the car could go faster"

The key word is "could". You could, but didn't. When I drag raced, I was cutting 11.08 sec timeslips at best. Had another guy claim he could run a high 10sec. That guy could have, but didn't ... he popped his engine. My engine consistently put up with the abuse, and delivered the timeslips to back it up. Worse time ever was a 12.4 after a stall.

When I raced bikes at Mallala, I was running 1m17s times. Other racers said they could do a 1m17s also, but never delivered. Always some excuses about bad tyres or wrong suspension setting. If you had it right when you ran your "1m17s" you'd be consistent at it all the time.

Numbers are only serious when they're on paper and consistent.

    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I dried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4     I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the casing. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I overcome one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
