what bracket, mount and slider you use for the FX pro seat?
Please keep us up to date on the engine tuning. I wonder what kind of power you can find there.My setup for Saturday at the San Diego Tour was 400 front and 500 rear. The car just felt slow to respond, and I was not fast in it as the results showed. The stiffer setup had greater sweeper speeds when looking at comparisons with some S2000 data. I just need to work on slalom response which is all the shocks, and I need to work on power. I was getting crushed on those long straights. I saw S2000 data of 68mph on the straight and heard of 80mph which I am finding hard to believe. I was at 64mph on top speed in third gear. In either case I am losing more than 15mph difference between entry and exit speed on long straights. Gearing was not an issue for me on this straight. Either with the taller or shorter tire setup I still had to shift to third.
Guess the wide band is going into car so I can start tuning. I was waiting on the TRD replica gauge pod but I guess I'll stop waiting.
Thanks, I wonder if I can get in Friday afternoon. More power for the ProSolo.Try Church Automotive. They can schedule you in for a saturday or sunday. They have tuned many spyders.
Appointment made. Thanks silversprint for the suggestion.Thanks, I wonder if I can get in Friday afternoon. More power for the ProSolo.
I currently only run 89 or 91 octane. You can't get 93 in Arizona without making your own brew, i.e. mixing 100 octane. On the 50 or so dyno pulls on the 1ZZ motor in the Celica it seemed to like the 89 octane the best. I tried 85,87,89,91,93 and 100. I think the current car runs best with 90 octane with no EMU changes. This is more based on butt dyno tests and different gas mixtures I get when driving to autocross events. I plan on filling up with 91 to test with tomorrow though. In the summer I definitely get knock with 89 followed with a cloud of black smoke, so I only run 91 in the heat of the summer.Are you going to tune with 87 octane, 93 octane, will it make a difference on our low compression cars?
With more octane, you're able to safely run more ignition advance and thus more cylinder pressure in the combustion cycle. That means more power.Are you going to tune with 87 octane, 93 octane, will it make a difference on our low compression cars?
How much is the Wedge bracket and did you pick it up from them directly?I am using Wedge Engineering bracket, no sliders. Just drilled holes in cross members to match up to seat, and had to cut and grind some of the welded tabs out of the way to get the seat to sit flush.
You would have to ask slowpok3 on where he got it from. I purchased the car from him and it came with the car. I am bolting to the holes on the bottom of the seat. The side mounts would be interesting to have as the reclining angle needs to be adjusted with the way I have it mounted now.How much is the Wedge bracket and did you pick it up from them directly?
Also - are you bolting it directly to the bracket through the bottom or side bolt holes on the seat? I'm guessing the bottom. Thanks!
