Wilmington Spring ProSolo Thread

[steverife]

I don't think it favored FWD at all because the tight stuff was decreasing radius, but it definitely was in the sweet spot for the D16A6's flat torque curve. Also, outside of John, all the guys I'd expect at the top were in CRX's.

In ES, gearing was terrible for the MSM. On a typically course, the Spyder is in the limiter everywhere and the MSM can use 3rd. This weekend, we weren't close to the limiter and the MSM was between 2nd and 3rd. I think the slower course is also part of why the ND crushed CS.

You guys are making me feel better about missing this one!

[John Brown]

well.. the only thing I got out of it, was knowing Im down on power.

.... if you can call that a good thing.

I actually liked the courses.

[jcox07]

Courses suxed balls, I have never seen a 120 degree turn and then a right hand turn on one side and a 120 degree turn with a left hand turn with speeds in my car at 20-22 mph at that turn.....really slow turn for any pro I have done.

To JB's power issue. It's been a while since you have been through that motor. Bring it to my house....I need something to do.......

I thought they were fun. Anytime there's a long, fast slalom I'm usually happy.

Couldn't tell much difference between the new tree and the old one...

[sentrase]

Love the new light. 5 launches in 0.5XX range and highest 0.777. Never been that consistent before.

I thought courses were fine. I wish I could see David Marcus video, all the others I've seen don't do anything really different than I was doing.

only been 4-5 yrs since build,but I decided to put a new timing belt on this winter.. and Im sure of the cam timing marks.. but the timing is funky with MegaSquirt I guess.. these is no change or need to cross the pins in the pin box to get static timing???
anyone know this process?

Im running lots less timing than I had. (according to the previous marks)

[lcoleman]

There is a setting where you can lock timing at 10 degrees advance and adjust with a timing light. Where this menu is depends on which version of ms you have.

You can also just set the timing map to 10 everywhere, but that's more of a pain.

[John Brown]

So, Lucas.. would you suggest I just put the timing back where the marks were? its literally a quarter of an inch retard from original spot after build.

Yeah, sounds like your base time =/= what is set in the MS. Who did the original tuning, could ask them about it.

[lcoleman]

Lock at 10*, set the base timing, let the timing map do the rest. You can compensate with the CAS (on 1.8s, not sure about 1.6s) or with the base timing in the tune.

If your timing map isn't 10* at idle, and it probably isn't, putting it "back where it was" is just a guessing game.

I can help ya out if you've got a timing light.

I can have a light with me at Bristol.

It was built and Dynoed in Charlotte. This makes total sense now. Seems that my CAS needs to be back where it was .. not where my light tells me to put it. And why I could never get to full advance of about 40 degrees.

[lcoleman]

I won't be at Bristol. :/
