1915 with AA 500 heads- now 2054

[Schweg]

That’ll get ya every time!

Need to get a way to log speed and start setting up traction control.

Well maybe after you figure out the oil leaks.

I’m in shock that your saying it’s that big of a change , not 100% tuned and sounds like relatively off boost and your in lust with it!?!

[buguy]

Yeah i don't know why it's dropping sync yet but probably a wiring issue since that's why it would start yesterday.
I still have to wire in sequential before i worry about a speed sensor! And yeah. Better fix the leaks. When the oil gets hot it's leaking REALLY bad!
Definitely a huge change. It's super quick now. The off boost performance is amazing now. Like i said. It feels like it's super light! I can't wait to get it fixed and see what it's really like without the hiccups! And then a real trans too! First gear is useless in this thing. In fact today quite a few times i would just take off in second.
Get your hammer and get to bustin open that piggy bank!

Is your pulley on square? Is the sensor square to the pulley?

It will be the end of the year before I build some thing bigger honestly.

Now just to settle on a size!?

[buguy]

Yeah i think that is all square. I'm going to buy a new connector for it. I jacked mine up when i installed it so i have it on funny. With it having a broken wire last night, it seems the most likely place to start.
Do you have good heads on yours? I really feel that was the shortcomings on my 1600.
I really feel that IF you stroke it, you may as well go to 82mm. Stroker cranks are all pretty much the same price. Heads are all about the same price too. Rods are the same as well as pistons. Building what i did was silly. I had already bought 2 sets of A pistons so i was stubborn and didn't want to buy another set. Plus i don't know how good my cam would be on a 2276.
I uploaded a little idle/rev video. This was the last video i took. Still haven't touched the tune. Pretty good right out of the box. This is 18 degrees of timing plus i think 2.5 for E85.

That thing sounds good. I’ll be interested to see numbers from a log.

The speed sensor is a super simple wire up it’s less then sequential for sure.

Are you looking to greet it on a dyno?

[buguy]

Oh yeah it will go on a dyno for sure. Just for my own fun!
It looks like my worst leak is from the sump, so i may pull that off in the next couple days and try to get that to seal, and of course fix the sync loss problem. I'd like to verify that the clutch is slipping before i pull the engine. May as well address that while its out too. Seems to be only when i get into 3rd gear, and even before there is boost or much boost anyway. Need to try looking at the log again. It's hard to read with all the sync loss! I would think id have to be well into the boost in 3rd to overcome the 200+ ft/lb clamping force it has.

Didn't you say that about the 1600

[buguy]

I really wish i would have put the 1600 on the dyno. I will always wonder now. This time i won't say it... I will just do it. That way the car won't know until its too late!

[buguy]

I rigged it up until i can get a new connector here. Just moving it, one of the wires broke off. So my connections there were /are bad. Tomorrow i will work on slowing down the leaks. Do another test run to verify the clutch is slipping, then i can pull it out to address the leaks and clutch.

Great thread Keep the updates coming

[buguy]

Will do. Unfortunately I've been working 13+ hours a day so that leaves little time during the week to work. After "fixing" the wiring last night i jacked the car up and drained the oil. One more attempt at stopping the leaks probably tomorrow night. Tonight i have to have a birthday party for the puppy. Gotta keep the family happy too!
All i really want to do is run it enough to see if the clutch is slipping for sure. That way i know how much money i have to spend!

[buguy]

Well i pulled the sump off last night. I don't have the special big gasket CB uses on the sump so i will be making my own out of cork. Probably use some ultra black on it too to see if i can get these leaks slowed down enough to put a few miles on it. Since the clutch was slipping, im going to back the cable nut off too while I'm under it.

[buguy]

Ok cable is backed off and everything is sealed up. Gunna let that ultra black dry for a good part of the day and then fill with oil and test. Cross your fingers for me.

[madmike]

the one reason I won't use cb sumps 'speschl gasket'
flangey's crossed

[buguy]

Yep. Probably order a Berg or Scat for next time its out.
