That won't be too hard, just don't dig too far into this one! :nod:

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Its been a wile since I've updated. Over the last month Ive just been driveing the car on nice days makeing sure everything is good to go. Ive found a few minor things to fix but over all its been good.

Last night I installed some FIC 1050cc injectors and got them close to dialed in. They still need a little fine tuneng at Idle but thats been hard to do because my front o2 is a little lazy. I will be installing a translab shift kit and Alto end clutch kit after I get back from boost for boobies tonight. I also bought a used set of Eibach prokits on KYB AGX struts that will go in once they arive.

After I get a good base tune on pump gas I will start tuning on E85 and we'll see what this setup really has in it.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

ooh baby, I think it has an 11.4 in it.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

That would be awsome. I'm hopeing for 11.99.

The car ran awsome to and from boost for boobies. The injectors are dialed in good and the car is pulling pretty hard at 20 psi.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

11.99 is easy, even if was a 5 spd.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

I figured it was time to update this since I have some track results.

The car went 11.842 @ 116 at Proving Grounds. It is very consistant running 4 11.8's on sunday cutting 1.7 60ft on 18" street radials

It was a blast compeating in the stock apearing class. The car just needs a little more to be very competitive in that class.

Future mods will be Rebuilt 1G throttle body, evo3 intake, more efficient FMIC and a VW brake vacume pump. I"d also like to do a little weight reduction the car weighs 3220.

Since the last update Ive added
translab shift kit
ALTO red eagle end clutch
Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs
Tuned the car on E85 @ 30psi

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Looking good and congrats on the times!

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Even nick's car weighs that much with some weight pulled out. Over 3300 with him in it.
stoopid autos

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Yeah, I was 3320 with full fuel and me.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Very nice! Sounds like an awesome daily.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Well, I had some minor upgrades planed. But they will have to take the back burner. Yesterday my tranny started acting up. Delayed reverse and major flare shifting into 3rd. I was hopeing it was just a TCU issue so I changed my settings so that I would have full line pressure full time and kept heading to work. After work I stoped by TKR's and picked up a 1g Throttle body (one of my planed minor upgrades) After leaving there the problems just got worse. The TCU was in limp mode so I stoped and reset it and kept heading tward home. By the time I got home the tranny was slipping very badly and trans temps were climbing higher then I have ever seen them.

So at this point in time I think my trans is in need of a full rebuild with some of the standard upgrades. I am priceing a few things out right now and will update with my future plans.

If anyone has a 2G AWD Auto Trans for sale let me know. I wouild really like to get the car back on the road and to the track again this season.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

shitty, that's weird it would just suddenly do that.

You been race-caring it with your buddy swifty? lol.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

3rd and OD have always had a little flare so I'm not really suprised buy it. I always just blew it off as the TCU trying to shift "smoothly"

I challanged Swifty but we never drove our cars on the same day so it never happened. But I really wanted to do it. I also Challanged Ryans camaro and a older style supra from work with nothing happening but talk. I have to get mine back together and end the talk.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Just challenge Swifty at a track, you are guaranteed to win!

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

All talk? :shocked:

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

I Took my transmission apart today. I found pretty mutch what I exspected. The front clutch pack was totaly burnt out. So I will be ordering up a master rebuild kit, kickdown band, and Kiggly 5-friction front clutch kit tonight. I am still hopeing to get back to the track this season.

I have attached pics of the front clutch disks there is literaly no linieng left on it. 2nd pic is burnt disk comaired to a good one,

on a side note I rode in Swiftys car last weekend and HOLY SHIT! if that thing got traction it would be unreal.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Have you never heard of a supra? They are kinda known for not having traction or at least owners that just want big power and have no idea of what to do for traction.

Shane has a low mile trans for sale....

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

I know Just waiting for a PM. Even if I bought that I would still do Kiggly front clutch after seeing this one.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Swiftys supra vs liter bike? I want to see this at fall dyno day or at the track.

Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic
 

Lmfao @ swifty and track in same sentence
