at OSW on wednesday that is, i know Cass, r10apple is going to be down from Jax for sure. anyone else going out there??


should be a nice cool dry night, perfect to run some 12s NA.. hehehe


come on out guys, will be lots of fun!!

 

working unless I get fired or quit

 

I wish I had my car back by then

 

What happened?

 

If I can have my car aligned tomorrow before 6, I'll come out.

 

cool ryan, hopefully i will see ya out there. someone needs to bring a camera!!!!

 

I'll try to make it out as well. I will be there around 8 o'clock. Not sure if i'll run this time....ah...I probably will.....and destroy whats left of these tires...

 

The wifey is coming and the kids may as well. She will definitely have her digi camera... See you guys later tonight!

 

I'm leaving at 5:15ish. My alignment sucks!

 

nitrous sucks sometimes!!!!!

here i just copied this from my post on my350z

had a good night hanging with you guys!!!!

got off to a good start. got ready and made it out to the track. threw on my slicks and pulled up to the line, 1100 bottle pressure this time.

i did the sickest burnout.

i launched like crazy, with nitrous, shifted to second gear, and halfway through second gear, no more nitrous, WTF. nitrous is the most inconsistent crap ever.

here was my run... would have been sick!!

60' 1.674 very happy with that
330 5.006 almost 2 tenths faster than my 12.3 run
1/8th 7.793 still 1/10th and a half faster than my 12.3 run
1/8th 87.81 im losing it here

then all down hill from here, all motor all the way out and 4 degrees of timing out so its not even all motor

1000' 10.321
1/4 12.469
trap 104.79 now thats what i trapped on my last all motor run


i still have no idea what went wrong with the nitrous, i checked the fuses, switches, everything. i tried a second nitrous run with less pressure and it never worked again. i have to figure it out, i am thinking that it might have to do with the 3 grounds( N solenoid, F solenoid, relay) going to the little 18 gauge wire off the utec. maybe it just fried that wire

i ran all motor on my 3rd and final run...

i put 16.5psi this time and still bogged like crazy, the car completely stops after i leave the gate, then it hauls ***!!!

60' 1.794 (bogging)
330 5.420
1/8 8.436
trap 83.34
1000 11.016
1/4 13.187
trap 104.34 weak trap again, i really need to get my tuner wb and
tune this utec, i am still on the base fuel map and if its
even close to how far the timing was off, well then i
am in trouble

 

I have no interesting news like Jeremy. I had a crappy night as well. My 2nd gear thing just keeps on happening...I sweat I'm not a bad driver. I only had 3 runs in from 6-10...BS! I was mad. I ran a 14.2 @ 98mph with a 2.1 60' time.

 

Might wanna check and see if the selinoids are working and if they might be clogged with something.

 

wow jeremy sounded like you were launching like a rocket then it just quit. Once day all the problems will work itself out and when you launch from that line you will surprise yourself when you finish. Im still looking for 11' somewhere I know its coming.

 

yeah i figured it out, i think i only need to hook the relay for the solenoids to the utec. then have the solenoids grounded properly. the relay probably pulls minimum amperage and would have the same effect as grounding the whole nitrous system....

i actually had a dream about that last night. funny stuff

 

Jeremy's quest for 11's haha. That's too bad man, you'll have better luck next time. The base map is pretty rich too, get that wideband in!
