Down here we still have a mask mandate for just about any place. That and almost all of us at the track have had our four shots...(Most of us are over 50...). If you dont have a shot, they will not let you on in to any event with more the 100 people!

But the sound limits are way overboard... For a while they could not get proper reading at a farm next to the track, because the barking dogs where setting off the instruments. The limit at that distance was 51db and the dogs were over 90db Going to have to muzzle the pooches as well!!

Well all jokes aside... the car was just at the border line for sound and allowed on track, With a few minor changes it should be fine.. The nice bonus for the day was the oil pressure.... The remote filter swap from 5/8 to 3/4 connectors and oil lines to the Setrab 948 cooler netted me a 20 psi jump in oil pressure!!! Bonus points for Sal! That explains a lot of my previous engine problems!! Only got a short mini-session on track for sound but the temps never got close to 200. Eager too see what its like at a proper race.

Glad everything is working out so well, you deserve it.

Curious as to what is going on here. Oil pressure usually results from restriction. You increased line size, therefore increasing oil flow and should see a drop in oil pressure, no? Where is your oil pressure sensor located in the circuit?

 

[Mad Hatter]

The oil pressure sensor is at the filter base. I guess the the flow was so restricted by the fittings and long 5/8" hoses that it could not get any pressure. Also noticed that the adapter we were using into the Setrab 948, had a 1/4" interior diameter! Thats also gone now.

1/4” ID holy crap!! No wonder you lost two engines. Seriously.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Tell me about it.... could no believe it when I saw it... the adapter had the 1/4" for only about 1/2" but it certainly did not help. Trying to find out why it even existed.

It was such a relief seeing the oil pressure needle jumping to over 90psi on a hot engine.

ansi 10... Ansi 12

Just being pedantic -- ANSI usually stands for American National Standards Institute, but here you're actually referring to AN-10 and AN-12 plumbing sizes, wherein AN stands for Army-Navy, so named after an agreement to standardize plumbing fittings and other hardware between the two U.S. military departments during World War II.

.................I learn all kinds of new things on this site! Tanks ( pun intended ) for the riveting boatload of info Dave_W.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Thanks, thats why it cost me so much to find out the diameter of the phantom "ANSI" fittings. I have been enlightened!! Now if we could just all go metric.....

Sorry that kind of talk cold get me in trouble!!

 

[Mad Hatter]

Hoping to go to the dyno next week. My guess, by seeing how the car is accelerating, Is somewhere around 500hp.

On the way back from the track, got this measurement.. Looks like the Cayman gt4 cars are in for a rude shock. The delay in throttle response is gone after the exhaust repairs.

The only other local cars I can compare this to is a prepped S197 with Nitro with 8.50 seconds and several prepped gen3 cars (480 rwhp cars with the 10-spd) @9.0 seconds

 

[Mad Hatter]

Well the car went to the dyno, but due to time etc, I went with the extremely heavy old Boss wheels instead of the apex track setup. Did not seem to matter much as the car made more HP then I thought it would, or could. Very happy with the engine work and tune from Shaun at AED, and in a totally street-able monster car.. And a special shout out to @Fabman for steering me out of the engine blues and getting me to have this motor built right! Time to go get some Porsches.... Boy this car is fast! Let me know if anyone wants to know the results. Any guesses?

 

[TMSBOSS]

503HP 487 torque???

What do I win??

 

[302BOB]

Fast is fast......the best results are what you feel behind the wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mad Hatter]

503HP 487 torque???

Nuttin
try again

 

[TMSBOSS]

High, Low??

 

[Mad Hatter]

Nuttin
try again

Ones too low and the other too high....

 

[TMSBOSS]

517 and 462

 

[Mad Hatter]

still a little low on the first and very high on the second...

 

[TMSBOSS]

Nice. Ill wait on the press release. LOL.
