Hurricane did not affect my area, but been waiting 4 weeks to get the car out because of rainouts and vacation. Took the car out Friday night but quit after 2 hits. Need to make suspension adjustments - pulling to the left and blowing off the tires on the launch. More concerned about electrical glitches though. Burned up the alternator last week and barely made it home with the voltage down to 8.9v. No idea how the engine kept running. Replaced the alternator, but Friday night, the battery voltage was erratic and dropped down to 12.1v during a pass. Datalog showed several Loss Syncs and it was running lean with the pump getting such low voltage. Now suspect the problem is the Optima Red Top and going to replace it since I cannot even remember how long ago I bought it. I am sure it is more than 3 yrs old, maybe 4. Would not be surprised if the Optima caused the alternator failure.
I am amazed at how quick I can spool this turbo. It is a T6 S480 with a 97mm turbine wheel and 1.32 a/r housing and it is spooling too fast. Gonna have to play with pulling timing and richening up the fuel during spoolup and maybe replacing the ATF with heavy weight JD Hyguard.
Wanted to shake out the bugs and I got them
Oh yeah, Zak was there with his turbo FD. Man, what a gorgeous car!
