Ya it felt like we got 8" of rain yesterday. It rained more yesterday at my house then it has in a couple months.

After watching the vids my daughter took, it looked to be wodding up the tires. The tire tracks were real choppy to. Usually I have to keep letting air out of the tires as night goes but I needed to add air that night. I'm thinking between the air pressure being 2lb less than normal and the ramp was a little aggressive is why I struggled all night. Looking thru my old logs it seems as if when the car 60'd in the 1.20's it liked a little less aggressive boost levels. On my next trip out I'm going to put it back to where it was before.

I will say later in the night I cranked it up another 1.5lbs to 21.5lbs.... It sounded pissed off! Lol

Thanks for the link Dave.

 

That turbo is finally starting to use it's lungs!

 

I can't wait to see this thing go 7.99

 

You just got started, and it's already time to upgrade the cage.

 

I don't know. I think that's another engine and/or a serious diet for both me and the car. I like my comfy seats and I like to eat. lol

I think if I ever did any updates, I'd cut the whole thing out and go chromoly like I should have to begin with.


I forgot to mention my wideband took a shit on the way home. They swapped out a new gauge just a month or two ago. I also put a new sensor in when I first started this new motor. Do you guys think it's the sensor or the gauge again. It's a Innovate MTX-L.

Kurtis, is it the gauge or the sensor going bad? It is more than likely the E85 taking them out so quick. I have not had them fail that quickly but I always carry an extra with me.

I'm not sure. The gauge itself went bad before and Innovate sent me a new one. I guess I'll pick up a new sensor and see if it fixes it.

 

I had an Innovate LC1 for a long time, and I was always having problems with it. I would put a new sensor in, and a couple months later, it wold crap out. I switched over to an AEM unit now, and I haven't had one problem.

 

^^^^There you go.

O2 in down pipe? I assume

 

Yes in the down pipe.

 

Mmmm must be some cheaply made wide bands

 

I talked to Innovate today. They said to do a fresh air calibration. Fingers crossed, lol. If that don't work I'll run my brothers WB until I buy a new one.

 

The Bosch sensors seem to be hit or miss . The one I was running with my Holley EFI crapped out within a few months . Put a NTK sensor in and its been just fine .

On the other hand , my Altronics wideband that I use for my AFR gauge uses a Bosch sensor and its over a year old . The two sensors are within 3" of each other .

 

Just watched the video ........that doesnt look like any failing O2 sensor I've ever seen .

 

They beat me to it. I constantly had to do that with that same gauge on my viper. Switch to AEM and have zero issues on my boosted strange

 

I just watched the video and that is doing some odd stuff.
The few that I have had go bad were when I was running leaded 110. Would peg lean no matter how rich it was

 

I did the calibration on it yesterday. I haven't ran it though. Tonight or tomorrow I'll get my transmission catch can and my trans temp gauge wrapped up and I'll take it out for a ride. The tech from Innovate said because it wasn't throwing error codes it was just needing the calibration. He didn't have much to say when I told him the last time the gauge took a shit it wasn't throwing error codes then neither. We'll see I guess.

 

I've never had good luck with Innovates products
