Well I was going to head out after my dinner here, but I don't know if anyone is going unless there are those who go without posting.

Anyone "cool" going? :-p

Shit like that needs to be in a wood crate. It sucks your stuff got damaged, and hopefully it was insured, but 142lbs and 1" of foam unfortunately will not make it too well.

Maybe it was the person who packed it? Like the retards who ship wheels in boxes with no padding, and then the lips are all bent up when you receive them... You can't throw a hunk of metal in a box and expect it to not get damaged.

Very sad stuff! :-\

Yeah becasue thats what I want to do with a Saturn ... Oh wait, sorry about that

 

Hey I never said it was a smart thing to do.

Turbo it for her.

MegaSquirt.

Oh. I just thought that was revving. I was thinking piping was engine-braking from like 8k with no fuel lol

What is "piping?" Super sweet engine-braking?

I was being sarcastic about seals. I think people get ethanol and methanol confused.

Meijer 93 is good gas.

 

Just keep in mind, if you run E85, you have to change out o-rings and/or seals.

 

How old is this 3800???

So that's why my IC piping blows off. I should be use duct tape and not t-bolts.

Hmm. Anti-lag...

blah blah wouldnt be the first time i heard it!

 

i asked you to help me out at chase and u wouldnt, neither would paul...paul makes up some bs excuse for why he wont help, then i proved him wrong, so he says im too young...gay

 

i asked you to help me out and you completely ignored me, cockface

 

Learn to get a job on your own?

As soon as I saw the knife, I closed the window. I saw a video of kids cutting.popping a spider bite once and I have a feeling it's quite similar and I about puked watching that video.

When I worked at McDonald's in high school, we were told to not take excessive change unless it was rolled. I thought it was stupid. I understand the reasoning behind the time to count it, but I never believed that I could refuse someone's money so I always took the time to count it. I've never got something like that before, but I've definitely got bags of nickles.

That or go to Home Depot Racing, get a really thin sheet of steel or aluminum, cut it out with a holesaw, and some drills bits for your bolt holes.

 

Or if you are certain your surfaces are flat, no gasket.

It probably doesn't deal with how you are tuning, but here a good bit of information that should help you.

Nice. Which one do you have? I just have the AEM. I don't plan on changing. Just curious of the make/model.

Yes, that's why learning lambda values makes life easier because it's the same across the fuels. 1 lambda is stoichiometric for gasoling, E10, E20, E85, E100, or whatever. It's always the same.

 

lambda = AFR / AFR stoich

 

So when your gauge is reading 14.7 with E85, then you are at stoichiometric conditions because that's a lambda of 1. Though, technically the actual AFR with E85 would be ~9.87, but the wideband controllers gives you gasoline AFRs.

Yeh, dumb. I don't know how you could do that. Hell I wear my seatbelt going through my apartment complex to my garage.

I'm not sure what outputs the LC-1 has, but I figure it has a lambda output as well as AFR. It's sort of personal preference as to how you want your readout to be. When I first switched over, I was used to looking at AFR so I kept it that way and eventually switched over to lambda.

 

If you decide to use the AFR reading, then basically you are shooting for the same AFRs as gasoline except more power can be made with ethanol when you are on the rich side. For example, if you made best power at 13.2:1 on gasoline, with ethanol it may be at 12.8:1. I'm just throwing out numbers for example.

 

That was probably confusing.

While I wish setting the car on fire was an option, not just yet...

Since this pretty much as to be done on the car to make sure the angle right, I was planning on tacking the v-band flanges together at the turbine, and then about 5" out from the turbine, cut the downpipe and weld in a new set of flanges for a v-band. The problem with the current location is that the v-band was always touching the header so it had a good bit of stress on it.

 

Basically what I am going to do is cut and tack this all up myself with my mig, and then hoping one of you fine fellers' can finish it up with a nice weld for me. I'll buy all the supplies needed and beer and dinner if you would like. I really can't afford $200 for a shop to do it. I'll be able to bring it by later in the evening or the weekend. Let me know if you're willing to help. Deals Gap is in 2 weeks.
