so so night.

attempt first pass and had surging issues caused by crank sync. Fix and had decent second pass (low boost 330' checkout run). then the starter breaks trying to start car to pull in my pit spot. replace starter and up boost to 15 psi. Spins and runs 135 to the 1/8. shut off at 1/8 and coasts to 9.50. but it still is pushing oil into the turbo housings Smoked real bad after last pass and charge pipe was oiled down Need to engineer a solution in the morning

ok...I made some changes...hopefully this solves the issue. I think I had the scavenge pump too high. Even though it can draw oil up, it reduces it flow capability. I lowered the pump so its lower than the turbo outlet now.

Locked and loaded for the cecil ODR race today...

Thumbs up
Gremlins or not, the car looked great yesterday (the qualifying run I saw) and I was kind of surprised to see it back in action already after not keeping up with these latest updates...Good Luck with the new(est) combo!
