Kids with EGT gauges

[r34 gtr]

What all are you getting running around town? My EGTs seem a little low, but the car has no go in it, so I don't know if its too little timing. I was expecting them to be sky high, but the highest Ive seen was 1500 F at 6k in 1st. They tend to sit around 1400 F cruising and 900-1000 F at idle. Thought maybe the idle temps were a little high. Ive got the sender in the #1 runner halfway between the exhaust port and the collector.

Ive got a few pictures from my trip to NH by the way, including a few of Greg's car, which is freaking awesome by the way.

Idle seems to be spot on but your cruising seems a little bit high from my experiences with friends cars.

But on the good side, even your highest temp, isn't too high.

Tim, I'll let you know what Im seeing after my igntion map is sorted. After a hard pull in 2nd today up to 7800 or so I saw 900 celcius as a peak.

[The_Chosen_One]

Im pretty much exactly has you TIM and my timing is retarded a bit. 2 years still havent gotten the sucker tuned :p

[r34 gtr]

Thats sexy to know you guys, but I wish I was running a little better than 11.9:1. When this thing is tuned I expect no less than 300whp on 18psi. Ive just ported an polished too much to settle for any less. Hoy sweet lord I am drunk. Hold on. let ,e get the Alcohawk PRO... (its the Breathalyzer the popo use).... Yeah, definitely over .40. Wow. DRUNK. See yall tomorrow.

[r34 gtr]

Damn... I can't even pee straight. Jesus H Christ I am hammered A$s drunk. You guys are lucky this computer has spell check. I don't get much more drunk than this without blacking out.

[bentvalves]

hahahahahahaha

[MeanGreenS13]

wow... i lost IQ points reading that thread GTR

[rico05]

Tim, you are so sad haha. I got wasted last night and had a lady come over. You get wasted and talk with us. Haha. At least we know you will never cheat on us and will remember our birthdays and anniversary.

[r34 gtr]

Look mang, I just had stuff done by ...when did I type that...351?! damn I was up late. I got to watch two chicks make out last night though, which was awesome. I'm talking deep tongue action. Then I got drunker and whew.... yeah. Anyway, what was this thread about originally? Something about a fashion show?

[fluent]

1500 = 815C is okCheck in top of 4th gear :P<900C should be ok

[r34 gtr]

So sitting between 1500 and 1600 F cruising at 3k rpm is a little high. I'll add some timing across the board and see where that gets me.

[bentvalves]

ignition timing.

advance your CAS to the board, and if it dont knock, and your EGT's drop, our CA's are cousins or something.

or we have bad CAS's maybe??

One of the joys of CA ownership was going through 10 cas before coming across one thats good, remember?

The problem with your suggestion is that Tim doesnt use a CAS anymore. He uses a VR Sensor on the crank which acts like the CAS. He's running Megasquirt.

[r34 gtr]

And messing with the timing is sooooo easy! I can do it from my chair in front of my computer. Then I just save the map, plug my laptop into my car, and hit "burn values to controller" and BAM! ch-ch-ch-chaanges!!

[bentvalves]

oh thats right you're running megasquirt.

did you bin you upper timing cover all together out of curiosity?

[r34 gtr]

No, I have a really cool CNC'd 7075 aluminum plate covering the CAS hole.



Oh wow, just looking at my car having power steering makes me all teary-eyed. Those were the halcyon days.
