BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance

[scheides]

Anyone else doing last-minute tweaking? I know others are!

I have been very busy, and yes I posted this in my project thread already but I just wanted to see what others are doing to make sure they are ready to rock for next weekend!

And even if you don't have a car ready, you should still come! half the fun is had after-hours, it is a great great time!

I might see if the car'll take a little extra boost without any knock these next few days. I thought I was being clever/smart/intelligent/whatever when I left it at 27psi on the dyno, but as time goes on I just feel more and more like a dumbass for not breaking 30. If not for any more power, at least to make more than my less-than-impressive torque numbers.

If you're at all free tonight or tomorrow Scheides, I wouldn't mind a little assistance with logging and/or minor adjustments. ;)

I won't be doing anything but spectating but this was my Pre-proving grounds mod :)

FWIW when I had my car on the dyno my car quit making HP after 29psi, but when I made the 31psi run the TQ spiked up like an extra 10-12 ft/lbs.

Also, idk about you metro area guys, but we started getting real 85% E85 this week in St. Cloud :D

[cmspaz]

I'm pretty sure my usual station in Plymouth has real E85, about 50% of the time I'm there someone's filling up with corn on the opposite pump as well, so they get very regular deliveries vs other stations. I still need to test it though.

I plan on:



swapping transmissions
flushing the rear differential
replacing the blown driveshaft
Installing new center bearing bracket spacer
dropping the car on GC's + Koni yellows
fixing my 2-step launch
retuning for kill-the-turbo boost

might get around to washing her too...

[goodhart]

^^All in the 24 hours before the event too!

I hope not, but I crushed my knee riding a dirtbike last weekend and cannot walk, let alone wrestle an AWD transmission in with piss and vinegar, so it might have to be..

Tachyon,

I will likely not be going up on Friday so if you need any assistance, I can lend a helping hand.

[scheides]

Spazzy, 31psi might just add some torque, no power up top...this was the case on my car, boost from 6500+ is just the same no matter what, so I could have made more torque but I want to keep the turbo together :)

I'm booked up this weekend, sorry. Family stuff Fri/Sat and work Sunday till Friday.

Looks like showers for both Friday and Saturday next week. Sucks to be anyone without AWD!
