BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

Anyone else doing last-minute tweaking? I know others are!

I have been very busy, and yes I posted this in my project thread already but I just wanted to see what others are doing to make sure they are ready to rock for next weekend!

And even if you don't have a car ready, you should still come! half the fun is had after-hours, it is a great great time!

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

I might see if the car'll take a little extra boost without any knock these next few days. I thought I was being clever/smart/intelligent/whatever when I left it at 27psi on the dyno, but as time goes on I just feel more and more like a dumbass for not breaking 30. If not for any more power, at least to make more than my less-than-impressive torque numbers.

If you're at all free tonight or tomorrow Scheides, I wouldn't mind a little assistance with logging and/or minor adjustments. ;)

I won't be doing anything but spectating but this was my Pre-proving grounds mod :)

FWIW when I had my car on the dyno my car quit making HP after 29psi, but when I made the 31psi run the TQ spiked up like an extra 10-12 ft/lbs.

Also, idk about you metro area guys, but we started getting real 85% E85 this week in St. Cloud :D

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

I'm pretty sure my usual station in Plymouth has real E85, about 50% of the time I'm there someone's filling up with corn on the opposite pump as well, so they get very regular deliveries vs other stations. I still need to test it though.

I plan on:

• swapping transmissions
• flushing the rear differential
• replacing the blown driveshaft
• Installing new center bearing bracket spacer
• dropping the car on GC's + Koni yellows
• fixing my 2-step launch
• retuning for kill-the-turbo boost

might get around to washing her too...

^^All in the 24 hours before the event too!

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

I hope not, but I crushed my knee riding a dirtbike last weekend and cannot walk, let alone wrestle an AWD transmission in with piss and vinegar, so it might have to be..

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

Tachyon,

I will likely not be going up on Friday so if you need any assistance, I can lend a helping hand.

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

Spazzy, 31psi might just add some torque, no power up top...this was the case on my car, boost from 6500+ is just the same no matter what, so I could have made more torque but I want to keep the turbo together :)

I'm booked up this weekend, sorry. Family stuff Fri/Sat and work Sunday till Friday.

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

Looks like showers for both Friday and Saturday next week. Sucks to be anyone without AWD!

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

I might have the Z51 sways and z06 bi-mode exhaust on by then, we'll see.
Is there anywhere to get the non-oxy gas up in Brainerd? My car is tuned on zero ethanol gas and I don't want to take any chances on the road course.

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

Any BP stations are most likely non oxy 91 oct. All teh BP's in St. Cloud are...

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

That would rock! I'll get back to you as I've got a friend coming this weekend who said he would help... But he's a Toyota guy, so my crippled ass will be sitting there shaking my crutch at him, yelling that he's doing it all wrong...

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

Still getting the car back together hope to be driving it tomorrow!

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

I cranked the boost, peaking around 31, no knock, I'm calling it good.

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

half of the fun is after hours... you are correct sir.

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

Hope to maybe drive a car up to brainerd. And then proceed to get bombed :)

Re: BeaterX is ready for MAP Proving Grounds thanks to DB Performance
 

It's been a good week. The only thing I have left to do is flush the rear differential and wash the car.

In the immortal words of a certain Shawn Wickam, "Game, blouses."
