Nice job man! I know nate was having problems with his alternator when he was tuned before Proving Grounds....he replaced it and found that he had been running ~11.8v before and now a full 14v....his AFRs were way rich (fuel pump pumping more) to the point that he was having ignition breakup. I guess what I'm saying is, check your grounds, check your alternator, and enjoy the car!

That isn't a DSM power curve man I swear, power just goes up up up!

Nice work.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Might as well update this too. I went to the import vs. domestic race in Brainerd this weekend and ran a poor time of 12.4 @ 116 with a 1.7 60'.. While I was racing I broke a drivers side rear axle.. My buddy has videos of some of my passes and I ran against Mike in a few of them. I'm going to try and get his video camera from him and get the videos up.

I was getting locked out of 3rd gear and couldn't get into 2nd fast enough and was bogging down. I'm not used to this kind of power yet and need to get better at launching my car... I should have no problems getting into the low 11's with it but like I said before its driver error.

I'm going to post up a video of the damage soon but I don't have a socket big enough to get the axle out yet as my dads buddy has the big socket set...

You use NLTS? What rpm is your launch control set at?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Not my best run but my first one on the setup

I did not use NLTS.. I know I sould have but when I was going to turn after the run I broke...

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Wow! Great job Chris! Happy to see everything come together for you :)

You car should be a low 11 second car EASY.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Some pictures of the broken axle. I'm not going to take it apart quite yet because I'm going to take it to a shop first and let them deal with everything.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Post a dyno graph!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Post 273 has dyno graphs!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Get the axel fixed?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I'm gonna go to proven force on Monday or Tuesday.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Ok so, I went to proven force and they took it apart to tell me that the axle is F*&KED... I figured that so today I ordered 2 of these!

I'm only going to do the one for now so that I can drive my car. I'm affraid about the axle being frozen in the hub and more problems so I will be swapping out he other side this winter.

Hopefully no more snapping axles for me :D

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Do them both at the same time.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Might as well try WMD do them both at the same time. Then you only lose fluid once

Seem like nice axles!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

^ no because the rear is elevated the fluid isn't coming out.. so no fluid loss on taking the one out

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Fluid is cheap, fix the broken one and rip it! Back left one is the most common to break IIRC, so just get it back on the road--summer is almost over!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

My thoughts exactly!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Got both of my axles in the mail today! dropped off the one at proven force to swap the inner cup from the old one on to the new one then hopefully I can pick it up after work tomorrow and have my car on the road this weekend!
