  • Off to a late start with this carts 14th year of drifting. She's seen better days but there is still enough of it left to have some fun.
    Nevermind. Engine blew up second lap.

    Honestly, keeping a car alive is much more fun to see than all the other people building new cars left and right. Takes more work and skill to keep the car alive than building a new one. I love it

      Sure does. People scrap their shells and start over so quickly it blows my mind. It also helps driving a car that owes me nothing.

    really like such "DIY" drift projects and then watch it ripping. It was a killer at midpond with new turbo. Very sad that blew up....this is partially why I'm keeping my B30 (dynoed around 420 like yours) just resting on 0,6 bar to keep her alive maybe longer.

      @spankranchgarage  3 месяца назад

      My tuner is sloppy, But you might also be looking at warmup enrichment. It used to sit 13-14.0 at warm idle but I’m not concerned enough to look anymore. As long as she’s happy under boost I am happy

      @@spankranchgarage The AFR sensor on sees remaining oxygen,so even on E85 it's the equivalent of a gas tune wich you can see on the gauge.
      13-14 is way too rich on gas ,even warm idle you dilute your oil and you end up with a hole in the block.

      @@michaelovitch The o2 sensor reads lambda. It displays in gasoline AFR scale. Stoich is stoich no matter what the fuel is. So 14.7 is stoich weather its on methanol, ethanol, diesel, gasoline etc. So yes its not reading to true scale but if it idles at 14.7 (Gasoline scale but e85 fuel) it really means a ratio of ~9.7:1 or whatever stoich for e85 is. Shoot for ~11.0 under heavy load/boost and all is well.

    • @spankranchgarage
      @spankranchgarage  3 месяца назад

      As for oil dilution I am well aware. I spun bearings in a truck from this in the past. In this case I am very cautious in ensuring complete combustion. Even at 11.5:1 at idle your not putting fuel in the oil if the engine is healthy and the timing is correct. This engine did not die from a lubrication problem (video to come on that soon)

      Just for the "audience engagement" or whatever it's called i suggest you to at least briefly introduce the main events, like a hole in an engine block, in the beginning or in a mini suggesting summary,even verbally.
      People tend to not watch entirely the video,so they miss a lot.
      You have plenty to show,and a quite good presentation,you can grab more attention in my humble opinion.
