Potential Buy 1997 GSX

Ewwww... COP. I have never had first hand experience with one that worked good. I have experience with a half a dozen that didn't work, 2 that I tried myself. They always broke up under boost, just like you are talking about.


On boost it seems to run great. Its just the low throttle is harsh which like everyone is saying is common with large injectors.

The car also has a dynatec ignition box

Ghost,

I know there are three gears listed. And to help the tranny I am thinking of leaving gears one and probably two at the 17psi.

And then just up gear three. Am I correct in thinking all I have to do then is just change the gear three settings?

Also any idea how much to increase to get a psi? Or does it vary based on setups?

Im not at home so can't review logs but I believe the 17psi is set at like 29 on the base duty cycle and when he was running 30psi I think the number was 56. might be a calculation there to get the nimber requires for each psi.

Only for traction reasons/launching I keep boost lower in 1st gear. I don't have traction problems in 2nd or 3rd.

One of these days ill have to get the nlts hooked up and set up as the previous owner didnt want due to the 47lb rims that are still on the car

But the wideband was reading 10.5 for most of the pull.

I have never had a wideband before but I thought you want to the a/f to be around 12.1 correct?

You on e85 or 93? That would make a difference as well. 12.1 would be really lean on pump gas IMO. I thought you wanted to keep it at like low 11's on pump?

I hope 47 is a typo or something, that's unreal.

Nope not a typo he said he weighed one of his rims with tirenamdnit was 47lbs.

They have a good two-three in deep lip on them. They look good imo minus some curb rash.

Originally I was like they have to go. But I might keep them for daily use then get a trackset.

You can see in the picture I posted earlier. That the front tire has brake dust on it and it almost a looks gunmetal with a polished lip. And I really like that combo. There is a new powder coating place in town. Maybe tax season next year might put that on a list of possibilites

This is on bp 93oct

47 actually isn't bad WITH tire. If it was 47 lbs wheel by itself it would be a different story! I think a stock Evo 8 wheel is about 20 lbs + a 25 lb tire would = 45 lbs.

What size are they?

[SlowWhite]

they are 18x8 the offset is a bit much (not use what it is though) If i hit a bump hard enough they'll rub in the back.

There is a guy in town that does fender rolling I may do it at some point as its only like $15/per fender. But that is a long way off on my list of things to do.

laptop just showed up so i'll have logs tonight on my way home from work.

Anything specific to log?
