Nick

Re: A sad announcement from GreenMarineSVX...
Thanks
I'll get more pictures when the temperature isn't in the 20's outside ... Oh, my fuel mileage for the first two tanks is... 18.6mpg and 15.5mpg And I haven't even had much of a lead foot either! I mean a few times I'll get on it, but for the most part I am driving around trying to stay out of boost ... I think it's mainly due to the ultra rich tune though. ~ Chris

I don't think I would ever be able to not put my foot down with a car like that. Congrats on the new ride. |

Remember, it only gets rich when that needle goes +psi. I can't say much though, I have yet to get more than 150 miles out of the first 1/2 of a tank in the SVX. Motor just sounds so good I can't quit throttle blipping all the time. |

There is also a theory as to how Dayle (or whoever tuned it) was able to get such a massive Tq number but relatively "low" Hp... Run lots of boost, very aggressive timing and then adjust the AFR's very rich to keep it safe... Am I bang on there? ... I'd been doing some reading on tuning Forced Induction motors in my spare time ~ Chris

A lot of the torque is just simply the turbo. It's just got a lot of punch when it comes on, mainly because of how quickly it reaches full spool. On another note - we just made it back from a few Days in Charleston. We took the SVX, which was mostly without problems... The Right side HID low beam wasn't working from the get-go, checked connectors, no dice. Last night the Left HID low beam went out. Drove back to the hotel with the highs (amazingly nobody flashed their lights at me). For whatever reason neither one of them are wanting to come one. I actually dried and applied dielectric grease to all the connectors last week and this is the first time they have gone out since then, so who knows. The only other thing that happend (a few times) was the occasional 1/2sec engine cut-out while crusing. I have read the info about the MAF repair on here, and it almost sounds like that is the problem. Last edited by pleiades; 12-27-2008 at 01:15 PM. |
