I just picked up my car after getting a few mods installed (pulley, tune,HE,plugs, & wires) and my first impresion of the car is WOW. I haven't had a real good chance to open it up from a dig yet, but from a roll this thing hauls @ss. I was on the highway doin about 80 and I decide to kick it down to 3rd and stomp the gas and to my surprise the rear came loose for a sec. Mind you, the traction control was on at the time. Sorry I don't have anymore for now (had to drive back to work after picking up car), but there will be a full review and track times up soon. Jeff and I are going out to MIR this Sunday so more to follow.

MODS: LET 185 pulley kit, LET tune, LET HE, Johnson pump, NGK plugs +1 colder, Magnecor wires, Sprint Booster A2, Needswings Intake.

Big thanks to Jeff and his great mechanics at LDG Auto Specialists.

Good job to LET for great products and tune.

 

What boost and AFRs are you running? Did you change the spark plug gap?

 

I have no idea at this time as I have no gauges yet. I'm waiting on the custom pillar pod Jonnangle is making. Spark plug gap I believe came pre gapped by LET, but I'll have to ask Jeff if he did anything to them.

 

Good to hear you are enjoying the mods.

The more time you spend behind the wheel, the more you will appreciate.

Have fun and good luck at the track!

 

Just wondering as I have the same mods..........plus a few more goodies..........and you're gonna want to moniter your car. I left my plugs on the stock gap and am only getting 16psi of boost on a regular basis with a few 17's and one 18.9psi a couple weeks ago. One thing I don't have yet is a tune........I'm still trying to decide who would be best to attempt to tune an E85 car. I'm gonna regap the plugs down to either .030 or .032 tonight and go make some passes at the track to see if I get any improvements over my last time out.

 

Spark plugs are at .039 I believe, afr fine under hard accell around 12/1. Boost unknown, In the future def needs some gauges. We will find out how effecient it is on Sunday's test and tune ( hopefully, I haven't checked the weather, but getting hot around here )

 

I regapped mine to .032 tonight and went to the track on a 50/50 mix of E85 and 91pump and ran a 12.61 @110.71 with a 1.91 60'..............the car peaked 17.7psi of boost on that run. It also had a near perfect AFR of 12.1 all the way up to 5500rpms again and then it slowly crept up to 14.0 AFR at redline. Definately need some tuning.

 

Nice with the newly acquired mods! I'm far from getting to that point, but will have them someday.

 

INMOTION------- He already has the tune done E85-Pulley Tune My wideband A/F readings are great. Just tell him you want the same tune as Eric has, he will take care of you.

 

Well, I didn't get a chance to go to the track on Sunday. I stayed over my girlfriends house (she lives in DC) and I parked my car on the street (as this is the only place to park). When I came out in the morning to go to the track my rear bumper was 90 percent torn off! I was and am still pissed off. Some moron during the night must have clipped my car and tore the rear bumper almost completley off. I guess the only good thing is its not like they ran into it from the rear, but just managed to tear the bumper off somehow (the cup is half full I guessl ). Anyway, after my car comes out the shop I will resume this thread. If any of you guys with 185's want to keep this thread going with your thoughts,experiences, or findings with this pulley, go ahead.

 

Sorry to hear this, I hate hit&run @##holes.
