It felt meh till we were next to that truck. It's going to be a beast when you add more timing and boost.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
I admit it does seem high but I have 190 log files and myself telling me its what it wants lol. I am on stock Auto cams and a cyclone intake. It loses steam up top and obviously would want more timing. I could probably back it down a bit. Probably wont make a differance and would be safer.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Top is logged boost, bottom is timing table. If Aarons car felt fast before, hold on to the oh shit handles after he gets it tuned!
Aaron, a word of caution. Please please make sure your driveline carrier bushings, u-joints,motor mount bushings, suspension bushings are in good order. Ive witnessed some carnage wheel hop can cause and its not pretty lol. |

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Thanks for sharing. I really haven't had time to tune it.
Chad, all of those things have been replaced for the most part. I really need to get a new pass. side axle, I'm still losing a good amount of trans fluid. Also need to hook up my vacuum pump and shift box before powercruise this weekend. |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
We definatly need pics of the vaccum pump install. Something I need to do.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
7/3/14:
So I was all happy that my car doesn't make the horrendous sound, got the car on the ground was ready to drive it around thursday night (7/3) had talk of racing at grove creek the next day, well my oil pan decided it wanted to not be nice. I had a friend stop by and I was letting the car warm up while I showed him around, came back outside to about a softball sized oil puddle. :( Couldn't see what was in the way with the exhaust in the way and the T-case, so I took those off, found a gap between 2 bolts where it was leaking, tried to cheat and hammer it closed, well it would just squirt oil out every time I hit it. So I pulled it off. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...52031806_n.jpg Well I don't usually stay up late, but it was nice to feel accomplished for having the car together when I said I would so I attempted to fix the oil leak coming from the timing belt side of the motor (Thanks Tyler? i think that was your name for posting this fix originally): https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...36010612_n.jpg RTV'd that crap and left it overnight. 7/4/14: No more oil leaks!!! yay!! However I do have badly leaking pass side axle not sealing in the trans, the oil one did just fine. :( Oh well, i went for a drive around the block and it got a bit worrying since it started running on 3 cylinders, just a plug wire having some fun. https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...56477160_n.jpg I left the bumper off because I tried to install a quick release bumper kit and it certainly didn't fit like it should so yeah. I will have to revisit that sometime in the future. Well I wanted to drive it to dinner, so I got it on using the front part of the quick release kit and using bolts in the fender locations, works really well actually. Came back home and we had a bonfire, but I really wanted to wash the car quick because it hasn't in about 3 years. https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...fb&oe=540DA45D It was terribly dirty, just spraying water on it, it would turn brown as it fell to the ground. I discovered that the hood is starting to grow surface rust on the paint from sitting too. oh well. I also learned that the car looks like a giant POS, between all the paint chips, dents, dings, scrapes, missing paint, spider cracking, missing body panels and of course the middle spoiler piece that makes it look like a bald old man. All clean (you can see the unused Dzus fasteners on the bumper here): https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...71995125_n.jpg Yes, while not that impressive the car had 0 shine to it prior to this. I did this in about 10 minutes before it got dark and I made my 1st s'mores ever. 7/5/14: Feeling pretty confident about getting my car running, I picked up this: https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...61851165_n.jpg It will be for sale once I get it cleaned up a bit, but its 100% stock and has sat since 2001. Thanks Carl/Carltalon (Official DSM Tow man) and Phil/Quigs Back on topic, so talking about the spoiler some more with Carl he told me that he welded a contraption to hold a spoiler on one of his old 1GA cars, now I knew what I was going to do, but I'm seriously not 100% in my ability to weld however my desire to not drive around POS looking car was more that my lack of confidence so I did this: Some scrap metal i had for welding practice: https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...10620178_n.jpg New mounting tabs: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...18315654_n.jpg How tabs will be placed in spoiler: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...c6a94ae102f69d https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...17859757_n.jpg Finished tab 1: https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...28826798_n.jpg Finished tab 2: https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...43798081_n.jpg New mounting tabs installed: https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...56348004_n.jpg Finished product, hopefully someone notices how clean it is: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...49a04bd19e6ed0 here is a pic of how it has been for about 2-3 years: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...3fb3cfb83e7ca9 Currently it's inside with no pass. side axle, I have the warrantied axle in my DD. I'll throw it in tomorrow, then I will wire the cooling fans to a switch inside the car (temp.), wire up my color shift box, and wire up my vacuum pump. I'll be happy to get the axle in and have no leaks, all the others will be a bonus to be honest. |

7/8/14:
Got my axle warrantied and woot! no more leaks!! I checked the car last night and for the first time ever there is zero puddles under the car!! I'm amazed. I do need to recheck the T-case and transmission to make sure they are topped off. I was flushing coolant to put straight water/water wetter in and discovered that my Ebay made coolant overflow tank was leaking through the sight glass. wah wuh :( So I picked up this for $7.70, being over 1 quart it is NHRA legal. https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...77880662_n.jpg Finished install for now (need to redo my UICP): https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...16640197_n.jpg Swapped out the unused 2G MDP sensor for this beautiful adapter made by ECMLink: https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...35&oe=543AB7D9 90% finished install, need to get rid of that blue hose and block that line off, then the wiring will be done better once I redo the UICP. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...83072874_n.jpg Going to try and hookup a cooling fan switch, shift box, and vacuum pump, check T-case, and maybe tune a bit today before work. (7/9/14) |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
7/9/14:
Constant working on this thing is making days a blur. Installed a switch for the cooling fan and checked the T-case fluid. Took it for a drive and discovered that my car runs at about 200-203F in 80*F weather, I don't like it that much I'd rather be at the 195-200*F range, but oh well. Plan is to make some ducting to maybe get there, we will see. Didn't really end up tuning, my laptop doesn't like to be used in the car the mousepad eats its face. 7/10/14: Long fucking day, wired up my vacuum pump but something doesn't seem quite right and I forgot to wire in a master switch. Installed my oil psi gauge after about a year of having it, oil psi at idle warm was over 30psi, cut the spring got it to 28psi hot. (Going off coolant temps, yeah i know its not oil temp but its what i have for now) So I pulled off the OFH, I have about 3 OFH springs, ground down about 2 coils off another since the one I cut got a little tweaked and I didn't like it. I highly recommend grinding the spring, just be careful of how hot it gets. I also did a little porting of the OFH relief hole since it was stock, I'm hoping between these 2 things I solve the issue for now. https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...25829060_n.jpg https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...02999627_n.jpg https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...41537563_n.jpg https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...66&oe=54460D79 I must say i like the quality of these Redhorse fittings that I got some Ravenworks, something about the finished looks really good. https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...59277593_n.jpg 7/11/14: Powercruise starts today, but I was only planning saturday anyway. Lots to do, the -4an SS line I have for my gauge is only 3-4ft long and needs to be replaced since it seems to be leaking, have to do that before driving it imo. Also going to make some ducting, then hope it will be ok to take to BIR. Thanks to Bman/Halon and Golden763/Tyler for 2.5" piping, now its up to me to make a UICP. I need to get a backpurge setup going before i make it though. I'm hoping by solving this high oil psi issue that I will have less blowby and less leaks. Made a ducting plate to extend under the car and force air up into the radiator. Seems to make a huge difference. I painted it black but forgot to get a pic. https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...73069843_n.jpg Gauge shot late night test drive before Powercruise: https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...40782519_n.jpg |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Lmk where the pressure sits with two coils ground off. And the porting. I have ported the crap outta mine and it's also still too high so I'd like to see where u end up.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
7/11/14:
My late night test drive before bed showed that I cut the spring down a bit too much, luckily I had a spare so I used it. I think the cutting of the spring and porting combo was a bit more than I wanted. 7/12/14: 2 hr drive to BIR was fine no hiccups, passed tech with no issues. Met up with some friends and I proceeded to change out OFH springs. Took it on the first open lap session, did 3/4 lap because I misunderstood the signage they had up. They had really poor signs/directions for this event it was crazy frustrating. Got back on, second lap on the backstretch frum rolled a white galant that was messing with me a little from turn 2 onwards. This thing was quick, I was thinking evo8/9 swap or something. Got to the back stretch slowed to about 50 and punched it, car grabs second about 5k rpm, look over and that sob is right there, but I'm pulling on him slowly, shifts 3rd and now I'm moving, but damn that galant moved I wanted to see more of it up close. (No worry he will be at the CO). Get on the brakes hard before the last corner onto the main stretch, realized that my tach is dead, WTF! Give it gas, no beans, shift to neutral and the car dies. So there I sit right about 300' from the start lights I think just missed the turn off. Rules state I have to stay in the car and get towed off. :( Get back to the pits, can't see anything obvious figure I overheated a coil pack or something. 10 mins after being back make sure all the ignition stuff is plugged and bam she fires right up! I decide to let her cool down and ride around the track with my brother now that he and our friends are finally tech'd in. It's a blast of a time, good event to shake the cars down although the wheel to wheel with noobs is a bit scary. Had lunch and then it was arm drop racing time, 1/8th mile only and some random chick to flag the races. Not too bad, even though the tune on my car looked good, it was not from a dig. Had to add some fuel in. I could not for the life of me get the car to stall. I was only getting 10psi and 3000rpms, car would roll out slowly and then hit 4500ish rpm and then move out. Of course I lined up against the white galant again, a few times actually, everyone would leave before me as I had to wait to stall and every flag person did it different which was annoying. Tuned it a bit better and figured that I need a converter, but I'd still keep going and work on the tune. It was fun running people down, but a bit weird that I wasn't leaping ahead as usual. Had some food, ran into the white galant in the pits, he said he has a 4G eclipse 3.8 V6 swap and he is right around 300whp I think. He says he has weight out of the car without it been visible. Very impressive IMO and a lot of room left for power I guess. Went back out for the 2nd round of cruising, didn't get to line up with anyone but did a roll anyway on that back stretch, hard on the brakes, seemed ok, got to about the 330' on the main stretch and I lose tach signal again and the car won't accelerate, so I coast to the inside dirt between 1 and 2. Figured I just need some cool down time, officials want me off so i get towed again. I play the waiting game again, but I check all the ignition stuff sooner, see the power transistor plug is 1/2 way up and the spring clip is broken/missing off the harness (little squeeze tab to release the plug) I run a zip tie around it and call it good for now. Go walk around and see some badass cars, Ravenworks had their 1000whp 88mm fox body with all kinds of custom/one off items on it. After this I'm just tired as shit, decide to help some people with their cars and get some rides in some cars. Watch their little street outlaw's competition and then get a call from friends they want to leave and not stay another night since of them spun a bearing and the other doesn't want to drive hard without a trailer. Drove 2 hrs home with no issues. Dropping my friend off at his place in Dayton: https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...15375597_n.jpg Get home and my good friend Munchgsx is there, some of his friends were supposed to be out and about and I wanted to have some fun with my car so we went out. Got the car tuned no problems, ran into a sweet black Legacy STI, no clue whats on it, just they want to run it. Sounds good to me, they want a 40-45ish roll, I don't think I brake boosted we take off neck and neck, revving the car to 8k which ended up being a waste since I don't have cams, grab 3rd and we are still pretty even, but then catch up to traffic and split. Get another chance, with some room now. I'm still revving to 8k like an idiot, and I say we are about even or they are ahead by a fender maybe. Their car is a built 2.5L with a 25G on 28psi supposedly. I have money that car does no less than 500whp, although more like 550+whp. Meet up with some other friends and I'm about ready to turn in so I ask some locals if they want to follow me, people talk shit and surprisingly people want to dig, although one was a GN guy and they can dig, although I tell him I'm on E85 and his dick shrivels up and he shuts up. I find a R6 to run and we head out, every one is antsy and can't seem to wait for a good spot so we do it up, I brake boost 2nd to about 20psi and go I get out maybe a fender and seem to hold him get 3rd and Nick says that I'm moving on him, although from the sound that dude had no lapse between shifts I'm impressed. Catch up to traffic and I jam on the brakes hard, wah wuh tach dies and car acts like it has a boost leak. I tell Nick that we are SOL and I hope he has a book to read while this things cools down. We mess with random shit, wait a bit and it fires up. He didn't log it :( Oh well car runs/feels good I get close to home and do a pull and brake hard, happens again. Luckily we get it figured out and head home, but not before a cop pulls up just as we start the car to head home. Luckily he was just making sure we were good, I told him fuel pump is dying and just got it started again. I had the car off, so no gauges in sight and car isn't loud so he lets us go doesn't even look at my license, etc. 7/13/14: I found a deal on a A1000 FPR, realize that when I upgrade to bigger lines the mini fuelab will be a restriction. https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...84721560_n.jpg Get that installed and go for a drive, a friend of mine picked up a '93 eclipse AWD racecar SCCA racer thing. It's great, esp. for the price he paid. Car drives fine, get close to home do a pull to replicate the issue and nothing. Well once isn't enough so I go past my place and decide to do a dig, I have to tune it right? Get the car lined up, start log, foot brake it and builds boost pretty quick I wait what feels like a second extra and suddenly the car gets over the hump boost is picking up to about 15psi and rpms are moving up now, I say F it and let go, get a bit of wheel spin bu the car is moving! Boom 2nd gear, revs pretty quick thru 2nd, even harder shift into 3rd I hit what would be about 1000' and jam the brakes. Everything is good!! Thanks to the tune, the car can now dig race and no more stalling/dying issue! Get home, everything looks good so I take the old lady to get ice cream, get about a mile from the house and tell her about the racecar and she asks, why didn't we drive it? Plus I told her watch how now we are in the DD someone will want to race us. Earlier she didn't want to ride in it, now she does! damn women. Well plan as of now is to race at BIR Wednesday since I have the day off and everything seems to be working as it should. I'll install the shift box to make it shift even harder and I will have to install the trans cooler fan so that I can lap it harder, it takes forever for that thing to cool down. As the car sits I think it might trap 123-125, the no top end with stock auto cams is killing it, however if I change it I might not be able to get the car to stall from a dig. Yay auto world! |

It's great, esp. for the price he paid. Car drives fine, get close to home do a pull to replicate the issue and nothing. Well once isn't enough so I go past my place and decide to do a dig, I have to tune it right? Get the car lined up, start log, foot brake it and builds boost pretty quick I wait what feels like a second extra and suddenly the car gets over the hump boost is picking up to about 15psi and rpms are moving up now, I say F it and let go, get a bit of wheel spin bu the car is moving! Boom 2nd gear, revs pretty quick thru 2nd, even harder shift into 3rd I hit what would be about 1000' and jam the brakes. Everything is good!! Thanks to the tune, the car can now dig race and no more stalling/dying issue! Get home, everything looks good so I take the old lady to get ice cream, get about a mile from the house and tell her about the racecar and she asks, why didn't we drive it? Plus I told her watch how now we are in the DD someone will want to race us. Earlier she didn't want to ride in it, now she does! damn women. Well plan as of now is to race at BIR Wednesday since I have the day off and everything seems to be working as it should. I'll install the shift box to make it shift even harder and I will have to install the trans cooler fan so that I can lap it harder, it takes forever for that thing to cool down. As the car sits I think it might trap 123-125, the no top end with stock auto cams is killing it, however if I change it I might not be able to get the car to stall from a dig. Yay auto world! |

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
So what caused the dying issue after a pull and hard braking?

I might adjust it yet, but right now it's not on the top of my list of things to do. Quote:
Going to try and get my trans cooler fan installed today, and I'd like to get teh shift box done for tomorrow too. |
Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Similar thing happened to me several years back. At the track my Dynatek/Coils kept overheating so the car wouldn't start. Then one day as I was braking at a stop light and the car just turned off. Would not restart, Nick trailered me home. Turned out the coils died.
