Went to the track for first time with the silvy

[TJ_GT]

first time i have had it at the track and i have to say im rather dissapointed. Granted i'm running EXTREMELY RICH (4.6:1 A/F), one brake caliper was stuck on, my cluch slipped a lil bit and i was running on 205/60/15 potenza's. My best reaction time of the night was .032 so i was happy with that but definatly need to get some SLICKS!!!ok enough excuses my best run of the night was:

60 foot time: 2.179 1/8 Mile ET: 8.867 1/8 Mile MPH: 84.54 1/4 Mile ET: 13.647 1/4 Mile MPH: 101.29

oh here is a vid, its my of my 13.68 run i believe.http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=100_4458

Wait, aside from all the other "excuses" as you call them: How does your car still run at 4.6:1 A/F? Your plugs should be instant fouled and you should be spitting fuel out the tail pipe....

[TJ_GT]

your the second person to say that, it does mist fuel out the tailpipe though i know that much, i put it on an exhaust gas analyser and it said 4.6:1 A/F when i was at 16psi. so weather that is acurate or not i dont know for sure but i'm running pig rich and i do foul out plugs like a mofo.

[tm_kickz]

That is a bit bad. I figured you would do alot better with 306rwhp...

[TJ_GT]

yea but 306 was when it was tuned, since that IATS got messed up i'm prolly running alot less hp, being i'm running so rich

[john 89]

holy ****------- yeah get that fuel problem fixed

[f150intally]

if it is truly that rich, you shouldn't even be driving the car. Wideband o2 sensors can't even read below 9.0:1. Anything below about 9.5:1 and your oil will be flooded with fuel and the fuel will be washing the oil off the cylinder walls causing your rings to scar them up.

[jilo860]

you need to stop runnin that car as soon as possible. squirtin that much gas is gonna kill alot of bearings in your botom end. all that gas is washing down your cylinder walls and takin the oil off of them and destroying the oil in your engine. also since there is less or none on the cylinder walls as you are runnin it down the track there is gonna be a whole crap load more friction there. lockily an sr is a square motor so your piston dosent push on the wall that hard bit its definatley still there. and HolyShiznit is definatley right that thing shouldnt even run, so now to start diagnosing you gotta figure - if you drove it to the track and it actually starts, its something thats happening at higher boost. im newer to the sr20 so i dont know if its a completley boost dependant fuel pressure reg. but that might be a good place to start. definatley dont drive that car like that if you wanna keep it running.

[TJ_GT]

thanks alot for the input guys, i do really need to get that fixed, and yea i know exactly what your talking about with the gas in the oil, i change it weekly and use lucas oil treatment. right now i dont know what to do cus its the only vehicle i have at the moment. I'm getting the sensor and getting it tuned at the end of the month so maybe i'll try to talk my buddy into letting me use his other car till then. Oh and good point about the bearings, i didnt even think of that, i was thinking of the piston wall thing and my upper valvetrain, but bearings didnt even occur to me till now. anyways i'm definaly gonna try to keep driving it down to a minimum.
