well, it's got a tank full of 100LL now. think i'll turn up the boost a little bit in the next couple of days.
 
this thing is simultaneously awesome and a huge pile of ****. boost is at about 9psi and it moves pretty well, will try to get a video today to demonstrate its noises and propulsion. it really picks up quick but flattens out fairly suddenly -- am assuming that's just the curse of the T cam, but also wondering if fuel is a factor. intending to do fuel filters shortly to see if that helps, and will quadruple-check the timing. also have an actual cam upcoming to see if that's why it flattens out so much. i really might as well shift at like 4500.

at this point am i just updating andy, jerd, and harald? if that's the case i can just text people instead of posting in this thread.
 
People read, but don't comment. I'm still miffed that my thread still has only 3 stars though...
 
so here's what it does. hesitation at top of second is wheelspin.

i love the way that car sounds.

what is this behavior in third? it's still accelerating when it does it. no audible misfiring or detonation. i believe boost is stable while it happens.

bump to force myself to post some pictures or video shortly or suffer embarrassment.

got the itch to start messing with the setup recently. took out T cam to give to someone else, put in a B cam in the meantime, dumb idea. T stood for TORQUE -- does B stand for Boring?

the next few months hold a header and some other goodies. and also this car not being a daily driver any more.

here's a nothing video i made to practice video editing; its only function here is basically to demonstrate that my car still sounds cool.

things i have:
- proturbo header
- stupid ebay turbo
- 530
- bne strut mounts
- like 30% of the stuff for MS
- new clutch
- new tires
- prelude (?) seats
- many various thing

anyone who cares, please use this time to goad me into doing some things because otherwise i'm going to be a piece of **** forever.
