2300 TVS update

[Jacob_Royer]

I drove it on my 96 mule round trip commute Thursday drama free! Now I'm repairing the odometer that's been broke for almost 20 years lol and replacing the boost guage with voltage since I have a autometer in the pod . Since the entire drivetrain and pretty much everything else is new I figured I'd start over with 0 miles

Installed LED torchlight headlight bulbs and a electric fuel pressure gauge

Nice!

Do you have the part # for the LED torchlight headlight bulbs?

I was experiencing a spark cutout at wot which a new coil pack resolved. Now I have excessive belt slippage ordered a couple belts to try. Still makes 22psi

 

[BLOWN38]

That belt is hitting itself I bet. need shorter belt.

 

[davec73]

no

 

[Jacob_Royer]

Yeah no kidding it's a k080415 I tried a k080400 and it's too short . Going to try a k120410 and cut 2 ribs off next. 415 is 42" 400 is 40 3/4" 410 is 41.5" so hopefully it will do the trick. My blower sits alot higher than a m90 or even a AR so its a whole new world of belt nonsense lol I think I have ran every pully combo on existence for m90s 5% od up to 33% so I had tons of belts laying around. Of course not one of them what I needed. Tossed a fresh 415 belt on for now until the 410 shows up

That belt is hitting itself I bet. need shorter belt

Have you knocked the tit off the tensioner and clocked it?

 

[Jacob_Royer]

Negative.. the 400 belt won't go on with no tensioner... I have a 408 belt also on the way one of them will be the magic number and if I need to I will clock so I am running in the middle of travel

Have you knocked the tit off the tensioner and clocked it

Yeah its amazing how a weak coil seems to act as a rev limiter on these cars. IME its pretty consistent too.

I've never experienced it on anything else quite like the supercoupes.

Yes it was crazy how that worked out!

 

[Jacob_Royer]

So a k120410 belt with 4 ribs cut off is perfect! No belt slip now! 23psi +

 

[Jacob_Royer]

A little pull not wot as traction was an issue it still got loose on the 2/3 shift

 

[Jacob_Royer]

326 miles of beating the crap out of the SC this weekend and zero issues other than a broken v band clamo on one of my mufflers

 

[Jacob_Royer]

I made a few passes at the local no time no prep 1/8th mile last night. No records broken but I wasn't unhappy considering the bad traction and it gave me some good data logs to work with.

 

[Jacob_Royer]

Well I discovered oil in my overflow...and bubbles so I tore down and discovered leaking headgaskets! I upgraded to the .995 od arp washers.. had be heads pressure checked and decked. Also installed aem methanol injection, blasted my brackets epoxy coated and polished my ic tubes

More pics! ......

I installed an AEM methanol kit which is way nicer than the snow setup! It has built in fail-safes including a wire that grounds if the system faults in any way. So I used a normaly closed relay to bridge the octane plug pins that opens if the system faults or runs out of methanol and pulls timing!
