Broke 3rd Gear at Mosport
Just came back from the track (Mosport) after breaking 3rd gear while downshifting before corner 9. This happened exactly 10 minutes before the end of the day so its like . Oh well, just gotta fix it and maybe put my torque brace back on and possibly a tranny brace...
Also, my intake temp sensor wires broke off in the morning so i spent a good portion of the morning trying to get it to work and not run pig rich.
Also, I think my wastegate is leaking...
For some reason I always break something when I go to Mosport.
Anyway, managed to do 1:36.8 after some advice on tire pressures from Al which was a 2 second improvement over previous times so the day was pretty good overall .

Also, when the car got hotter, boost would drop. I had it set up to boost 16.5 PSi and it drops to 15.5-16 PSi at high RPM but once it warmed up it would boost to 15 PSi and drop to 13.5-14 PSi at high RPM. I suspect my wastegate is leaking and possibly the heat makes it worse? Reason I say that is because I still have an exhaust leak sound even after rewelding my turbo hotside that cracked.
I'm guessing I was around 350-360 rwhp once the car was up to temp.

I ordered one of those triumph AIT sensors. It came in today. If you want to try it you can since my car is still being painted.
Sorry to hear about the tranny. You need a hoist in your house to start wrenching on these track day mishaps yourself.

I think I just came up with a plan. I'll buy a JDM transmission from Tiger (yes I know the horror stories but I think its worth the gamble for $190 lol, plus I get the shorter 5th gear). If I'm lucky all gears will be ok which would be good enough for me. Then in the meantime, I can open up my busted tranny and see what I can do.
Look what I found

Oh and how are the intake temps with the intercooler like that? i dont see your hood being vented?
shouldn't have a problem with a tranny from tiger just a motor even tho i have bought several honda motors no issues

Well I bought the transmission. I think I picked out a good one (I didn't want the clean ones that were ready to be sold). It was still connected to an engine which was completely stock as far as I can tell. Also, the clutch didn't look like it was abused at all and they even wanted to buy the clutch off me for $20 lol but I declined because I think I can sell it for more since its in good shape lol. It shifted ok as well. I found it kind of strange but apparently the clutches go with the trannies.
It was $249 with tax so hopefully when I put it in tomorrow its all good. I have a good feeling but I know I took a gamble so we will see ^_^
