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

[WE3RX7]

What size injectors are you running at 90%?

If all goes well, the engine should be rebuilt and in the car in March. I would like to get some base tuning done prior to DGRR (even though my FC wont be comign).

I will be going to Dave's with the irons prior to the engine build though to discuss those fun ports he mentioned last time I was up there...

I also was considering getting him to rebulid my trans and cryo some things, dunno though -we'll see how time/money permits...

Marren "American Style" 750/1000cc/min or 72/96 lb/hr injectors. I later found out that they are Delphi's and designed for propane Basically the spray pattern is more of a firehose than anything and they are NOT very linear. My only real saving grace is the Motec inj drivers being so damn powerful and so damn accurate. My belief is, not having seen many other cars, is that std or poor injectors, like these, combined with not the greates inj drivers, leads itself to a strange running car. If you look at some of my logs it becomes pretty clear when looking at duty cycle. But whatever. I've had a bunch of conversations with a few top people in the field and I may be doing some testing in the spring. FWIW, I may be redoing my fuel rails as well. I'm not going to bad mouth the guy on the forum, I think it's something personal between him and I and he still makes some cool products and his injector service is still adequate although I'll be going to Kinsler from now on

Cool, lemme know, I'll be out there sometime in March as well to pick up a few things from Dave - tranny and rear end more specifiacally. FC won't be there, or maybe it will, depends on timing.

He's rebuilding my 6-spd and cryo'ing it as well. I highly rec the cryo treatment. It's been proven 100's of times over, especially on his rotors and tranny's and e-shafts. Definately worth it in my eyes. It'll be nice if my tranny, that everyone is saying is weak and sloppy, can stand up to 2x renni torque and still last and shift silky smooth..... I gotta get back on that damn thing, taking up too much shop space. Hehehe, went to the Jersey Meet on Tuesday and had the same conversation that I always seem to have regarding that tranny, I wouldn't do it, it's weak, it breaks all the time. Yeah but when is it breaking? When is it blowing? The answer is, when there is 0 torque being applied to it. It's not a strength issue, it's a design flaw that has a TSB on it
