Cold Air + Boost = Loss of traction and Boost Spike...

KaiFD3S · 04-20-2008, 01:15 AM

Took the car out today trying to use up all the old gas so I can add my premix with a new tank, did some boost runs with the boost controller on with the 1st setting at 12lbs and what happpens loss of traction, I can feel the rear tires giving, almost feels like clutch is slipping but instead of letting off I stay on it then waht happens, 17.7 lbs of boost, so the car hits boost cut since I have it set to cut at 17.5 lbs, kinda sucks but in a way it is good that the boost cut works good other wise buh bye motor...lol..

Hopefully it gets warmer so I can stay on it without worrying about spiking...

My Intercooler temp was at 3 degrees c....Let me tell you though it felt good boosting over 17lbs...

Kinda sucks too since I could have had a little fun with the blue subie with big mudguards, that thing is preety fast would have liked to see what my car can do against it...Another time....

is there a question in there?

KaiFD3S · 04-24-2008, 12:43 PM

LOL...No question really just mentioning what went on with my day when I took the car out, and I guess just stating that I am glad I went with a Electronic Boost Controller rather than a manual since it has a safety feature of cutting boost if it spikes...

You still getting that T51R KAI?

KaiFD3S · 04-25-2008, 03:13 AM

not anymore, decided to maybe just go with a to4z with a halfbridge...but who knows I change my mind too much, for now I am deciding on getting the pettit flares so I can run 335 tires, just waiting on Rishie to get back to me about 12.5 RPF1 rims...

fwiw, friend of mine (speednyc on other forum) had a half bridge and went back to a street port. He said it wasn't much fun on the half bridge.

KaiFD3S · 04-25-2008, 12:23 PM

Funny you say that since my friend that will be building my motor is also telling me not to go half bridge and just go with a big streetport, I may just do that then...So undecided...lol...

Kai, please don't put pettit flares on your car! If anything run with the RE-Amemiya rear flares

KaiFD3S · 05-01-2008, 06:42 PM

I am still deciding, I saw that RE Amemiya has the new kit with flares, I may just go that route but still have to see how wide a tire I can run with them, I want run at least a 315 tire.....We'll see....

***Herblenny*** · 05-07-2008, 02:42 PM

I also agree.. Don't go with Pettit Flares... and post this new RE flares
