Anyone in Iowa City have any damage from the Tornado last night? Just making sure everyone is safe and sound.

*Oh........I have a guy coming by tonight to take a look at my FC.......he's bringing $$CASH$$. Let's hope I make a sale.

 

I saw on TV that a ton of damage was caused by the tornadoes (sp?). Crazy ****.

 

I like the e6x.

What car a FD or FC?

 

it seems he has a 88 tii

 

Yeah, it's an Anniversary with street ported primaries and bridge ported secondaries. It has a little greddy turbo that I refer to as insta-boost, front mount IC and the E6X. I have a wideband and EGT gauge that I've been watching pretty close. I think that I've got the positive side of the map alright, but not great (11.5-12.2 AFRs with not to aggresive timing) running a max of 9 psi. The main problems I'm having right now are getting it to idle below 1800 and the vacuum side of the map sucks. It's really rough driving around right now. I've got 2-3 hours of idle and tinker time into it, then about 30 miles of driving beyond that. The motor isn't fully broken in yet by any means. Those are the main things right now. Obviously I have more supporting stuff (1600 secondaries, 4puck clutch, etc.) that I haven't specifically mentioned that play into it too. Anyway, I would welcome any help the day of the BBQ or any other time if anyone is interested. It's my toy car, so I don't have a daily driver urgency to get it done. It's not starting very well either, but that is now because of the trigger signal issue related to the E6X at cranking speeds.

Sold my car to James out of Davenport. Hopefully you guys will see the car more often now. Maybe you can talk him into bringing it to the next meet. As for me.........I've moved on to Nissan's

 

its a sad day then..lost another one to thedarkside....

 

Sounds like you might have a weak vac at idle due to your bridge and new motor.

I would recommend using Throttle maps instead of vac due to the bridge at idle.

Basically with a weak vac signal it jumps all around and the haltech can't figure out what's going on. To counter this the haltech can use just TPS input to roughly gauge the air needed until positive pressure.

 

Congrats on the sale.

 

hopefully he's not one of the 16yo street racer turds that are in masses around here.

 

i actually went over and met him yesterday he seems like he's a pretty cool dude im sure he will take good care of the car i think i did talk him into going to the meet so we got another going hopefully

the car seemed alright it has a couple of things i dont like but im sure he will be just fine with it

 

that's good to hear.

 

you going to come up to the meet, you better

the guy that bought that black 91 NA wants me to come look at it this weekend i thought you guys were doing a tii swap on that

 

It went by just 4 blocks south of my house but didnt even blow a shingle of my roof. The 7 still lives to see another day.

 

RX7 2ner, don't worry, I'm not a 16yo racing turd...I want to learn the car inside and out and how to properly handle it, not to spool the turbo every chance I get Although, the sound of it is nice But nah, I will probably be at the CR meet. Believe Steve pretty much talked me into it. There are a couple things I want to get fixed on the RX7 first though and hopefully they will be done before May 14th.

 

I can bring the beer. Just not to sure on the whole women thing. I will do my best. I will bring the cooler full of beer then.

 

has anyone talked to syonk (russ i think), or 64mgb (ritch or mitch) to let them know about the meet i just remember them posting up on the last one and havent seen them post at all

 

I think I told Rich to check out this thread but not sure if he has or not. As far as Russ, I havent talked to him in quite a while.

On a side note, anyone know where I can find a set of stock foglights from a first gen talon/eclipse/laser???

 

im working on a few things to do this summer as a group and one i was thinking would be a group dyno day im talking to a guy who has a dyno and does group days and i would like to see what kind of interest i have if thats something you guys might want to do let me know im trying to keep the cost around 40-45 dollars for 2-3 pulls

 

I think we may have the entire set of lights from a eclipse/talon at our shop.

 

stealey performance?

 

illinois dyno shop it's in port byron on the way to cordova

 

ah, yeah.

 

I would be in for sure on a dyno day. At least, assuming noboody buys my car before then. Heck, if someone local buys it I'll pay for the dyno time just to see what it'll do. I'll pay for a morning session and a afternoon session if that is the only way to get some tuning time in between. Keep me updated.

 

I would be in for sure on a dyno day.
