Sounds to me like your leaning out past the point of combustion. Detination sounds like loose change rattling in your pocket. Another thing you can do is pull the spark plugs and look at them. If it is leaning out they'll be a whitish color and the ceramic insulators may have cracks in them if sever...

The idea behind injecting the CO2 is that it becomes a gas state like N2O. I know what they were talking about at first but I'm bring this up because it takes it one step further :wink: I'd say DEI would be marketing it if it did work as I am wondering...but....sometimes those companies over look th...

In the defense of Nitrous...... Nitrous is colder than C02 and it is no harder on the engine than any other power adder.... when used properly ! Nitrous has a bad rap because people don't understand that it requires more fuel. Nitrous does two things....1, It adds TONS of very dense oxygen molecules...

I've been using Lucas in my car for over 11,000 miles in both the engine and the transmission. I've seen no such evidence of airation or my car would have craped the trans and spun bearings a LONG time ago. My car is daily driven and I get on it all the time running 24-26psi of boost. Driving to wor...

http://www.atpturbo.co or http://www.forcedperformance.com You could upgrade with a readily assembled and balanced ballbearing CHRA for what it would cost to buy a new t3/t4 journal bearing turbo :wink: Since your oil seal is leaking the first thing you need to check is your turbo oil drain hose. If...

I bet you used an adjustable fuel pressure regulator with the S-AFC didn't you :wink: Other things that help are boost timing retard ignition devices...then you can run 30* of advance at idle requiring more fuel and giving peepier throttle response on or off boost. A hotter ignition period helps a L...

460's can be made to work with the S-AFC...but...they are not fuel efficient and you'll have to idle the car up around 1300rpm's. I used to run 440's back in the day that way. As previously mentioned, a good match would be the 320-330ish cc range. I have a set of GTX high impedance injectors (330ish...

Ummmmm woops...... :lol: .46115 I'm not that slow :wink: If I put the other flywheel back in or try launching at the track at a higher RPM and slip the clutch through half of first gear I'd pull 1.8ish 60ft times.

I've got 245/50-R16 Falken 512's up front...had to do some spring purch trimming....ok...we cut the fluffin thing off to get the clearance :wink: My 225/45-R16 Yoko AVS ES100's wouldn't hook....spun all the way to 130MPH :wink: The 225/25-R16 is nice for most turbo cars but on the 4cyl MX-3 does thr...

First 1/8th mile on new built bottom end
First time to the track with the new motor broke in good. I couldn't get the car to come out of the hole worth a crap...this time instead of frying tires it now bogs horribly with the heavy flywheel. I even tried leaving the line at 3000rpm and it STILL bogged! With the light weight flywheel on the ...

Wet nitrous isn't safer than dry or vice versa on their own . The most acurate way is dry nitrous with a EMS that specializes in Nitrous injection controll coupled with the correct fuel system . For example...the Accel DFI Gen 7+ is THE best EMS system I've seen when running nitrous on top of everyt...
