TitaniumTT's I hope I make it to DGRR '09 Build

[Turbo II Rotor]

Wow, 400 eh? Congrats on another awesome achievement. I can't believe your fuel contamination issue is still ongoing. If it isn't some obscure rubber seal breaking down or your neighbor I'd say electrolysis in the fuel system maybe? I'd wonder if the ethanol in the fuel is allowing the fuel to become conductive and eating the insides of your fuel rails or something.

Got a graph for that number? I wanna see how low they come on.

Btw, the Tuesday night meet is dying down due to the cold so maybe we could find a weekend meet that works for both of us. If not there is always DGRR '10, which I'll definitely be attending.

I would buy everything that I could from Griffin, I love those guys. I don't know if they make oilcoolers though. The next car I build - FD - will have as many heat exchangers from Griffin as possible. I do love my Mocal oil coolers though. I was seeing 139* oil temps on the drive out yesterday. Highway, about 55* ambient.

It's driving me fucking crazy too. Although I think at this point the contamination is gone but the damage is done and the pump is now fucked. THe intervals between cloggings are getting mush shorter. Interestingly enough I was on the phone with Aeromotive today and telling them about the black shit in the filter. He says, it could be the pump getting hot or sluggish and the armatures grinding crap off the magnets. I've seen that but you'd have a whole different set of problems if that was the case. Awesome, I totally discounted that comment until I A tested the Cosmo pump.

Sorry Scott, I got nothing. We all just sorted stared milling around all pissed off. Still running NS too but the boost comes on as soon as you hit the gas. Dave was punching her @ 3500rpm & ~0 boost and by 4300 we were seeing about 13.5psi..... non sequential. Sequential should melt the tires off. I HAVE to head back. Poor Dave has been wanting to play with the sequentials since he saw the software but we can never get there.

What's even funnier, is in late June when we cooked engine #3 (actually CLOGGED filter as in held fuel) I said jokingly that we were going to break records, finish the sequentials, but it would be so late in the year that I would drive her home and pull her apart for the winter. Guess what's going to happen. I can't get back to Dave until the 2nd week in November and I always take her off the road Turkey Day w/e or before if there's going to be snow.

You bunch of pussies I have no weekends until probably 11/15... sorry man. Maybe 11/8. DGRR is a definate though, without a doubt. Hopefully have 3-4 cars there if all goes according to plan, which it never does. Are you planning on doing the same thing you did last year or head down with us on Thursday?

Are there any other Bear Mt or OCC meets left in Nov?
