Alex L. Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 For how large of an investment your car is, I'd splurge the extra little bit to get a verified drum. I know Iron Pony carries VP as that's who I usually get my C16 through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 does anyone sell 55gal drums of verified e85 though, id love to do that I dont know if its best to just get fuel jugs and test the pump fuel to get good e85 and just fill the 55gal drum that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I know Pakie (Biggu on here) tested at the pump and filled a clean drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Got the car all aligned today, getting it ready for its time on the rollers, proly sometime next week we will be digging into get some boost in the engine. Got some bugs to work out. Some sort of small transmission fluid leak coming from the stupid lokar flexible dipstick. Ive heard to put a tophat grommet in place of the orings on the dipstick to solve that and I need to make sure its not a touch overfull and blowing some out of the vent tube. The only other thing Im going to do is get my Co2 tank filled for the ams500 boost controller and get the solenoids plumbed in. Fill it up with e85 and let it eat http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/nova3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff88coupe Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Looking good. I just have 6 5 gallon cans that I take to my local Kroger station that has E85. Has always tested at 85% or slightly better when I have gotten it in the warmer months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 **************** DYNO UPDATE **************************** Got the car out to Dyno Tune Motorports today and got it on the rollers, Brian spent some time perfecting the VE tables and making sure everything was safe. We started with the wastgate spring on the JGS 60mm gate and it was able to get down to 2.5 psi! it made around 400 at the tire with the pressure. We began adding small amounts of boost and the car loved it, by the time we got to 15psi we were around 850 and it began blowing the spark out. Put some new plugs in and tightened the gap, put 2 more psi of boost in it And that netted us 928/973 just at 17psi. The car makes 900 across the board and is was a damn beast on the dyno. Brian really made the tune his bitch. We settled with that for the day, pretty awesome that the AMS 500 was able to control the boost very well with co2, from 2.5psi to 17psi. We will be adding 3 more psi of boost and get the car well over 1000 in the coming month. Just going to get some time in it the way it sits, we made plenty of pulls today so I figured we could give it a break. Here is the graph will post vid late tonight or tommarow. BTW injectors are only 88% duty cycle. E85 ftw. Thanks again Brian, the car is a damn beast cant wait to put some miles on it. Going to go through everything tomorrow and change fluids, car just starts up with so much ease and has amazing response it was only pulled to 6300 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboNova Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 nah, no street driving except for neighborhood cruising when brian came out for the base tune. I did trailer it out west for the alignment last weekend so if it was on my trailer maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647545505 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 That's really neat, I've always been a fan of AMS controllers but haven't seen anyone use CO2 (on a streetish car) with it. Wonder whats up with the dyno reading 7300ish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 brian would have to answer that, I know it was only pulled to 6300 ish though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Since the chart is reading 7300 rpms, and your making full boost at around 4500, is it actually making full boost at 3500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
