Top speed is also power dependent. You could do top speed runs. ;)
Or use 1/4-mile trap speed...

I guarantee you you're not starting ignition TOO EARLY. To do that and not detonate takes over 100 ...

A good tune[r]. ;)

Sure, why not? :)

So many questions for one thread. I'll answer a few that stuck out to me.

If 9k RPM is the goal, go with the VE head and oil pump. The bottom end should be fine.

Cometic HGs are garbage. Stock pa...

Detonation avoidance example for gomba:
For these examples we have to imagine what happens with a slow burn rate, and a fast burn rate, and how starting them early or on-time or late will aff...

Find out what happened and why, fix that, and replace the engine with an identical one. Rinse and repeat 4 more times if your name is Ben Fenner.

I'll explain it 100 different ways until it makes sense. =]

First, you're off on the wrong path a little bit. Yes, the explosion is more energetic (basically because of the burn rate) with leaner ...

What ECU and wiring harness are you dealing with? The same one that came with the car/engine?

Have you plugged everything in and it won't provide a spark? Or is it more complicated than that?

When you're out of the efficient areas, intake temps rise quickly. The extra fuel is the easiest (obviously not best) way to cool things down a bit and slow the combustion.
A better way to deal wi...

For me, 12.0:1 is the ratio to use when you're in the good parts of the compressor map. This is regardless of turbo size, power output, or boost level. If you're in the efficient islands of the map...

12.0:1 burns faster than 11.0:1
12.0:1 will require later timing than 11.0:1 to have the flame/pressure front meet the piston top at the ideal time (20 degrees ATDC) because of the difference in bu...

Why I tune to 12.0:1 A/F ratio (0.82 lambda) and why you should too. (all welcome)

Okay, I found one more picture. Probably what you wanted all along.

Don't forget to post videos when you're done.

My turbo is too slow

I know we have space constraints on these cars, but that's nothing curved intake runners can't solve. One of these days someone is going to curve a VE intake down low with a 7° runner taper, veloc...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but traditionally it costs nothing (except your own personal food and shelter costs) to come to the convention.

You can spectate at the road course for free, but now that ...

Cons: Cost

Pros: Everything else


Look up how torque plates work and why they are used. I'm surprised this question is being asked by you M0J0.
Topdog, is that you?
