Made some more progress over the last two weeks. Brought the car to my shop for some maintenance and a small noise in the drivetrain which I suspected was loose yoke bolts on the driveshaft. I was right and tightened everything up flashed another tune in that Barry had for me and took it out and made a test hit. At the top of 3rd car still went into limp mode and had to stop and restart to clear it.
Noticing my exhaust was really really quiet in the last few weeks to a couple months i decided to pull the exhaust off and check my high flow cats to see if the were clogged....... well the exhaust was clogged but not how i expected. The cats were blown out of the housings and logged into the x pipe impeding flow and causing the limp mode condition. I fought with removing the guts and getting the exhaust fully cleared to check and make another hit to see if things cleared up. They definitely did and Karen is running like a raped ape again.

Same day I was at the shop I mocked up how I'm going to do my fuel system and assembled the check valves and fuel pumps into the surge tank. I'm going to cut out the plastic spare tire well and put flat piece of aluminum in. I'm just figuring out what I want to do but I won't start installing my fuel system till winter time.
Lol I melted out my "high flow" cats with my supercharger as well. It was running poorly and the pieces shot out the exhaust pipe in
the dealer service area!
Few parts showed up last week for my car. Picked up injector dynamics id1050x for my car. One less thing checked off the list for winter upgrade.
Also, car has been running pretty good till this last Saturday, my edc light would come on and I'd get sorta limp mode where the car would cut out during a pull. The code was for a mechanical failure of my one throttle bodies. My plan is to run Porsche regular opening 82s and make a new motorsports grade sub harness with a few repinned wires to make it all work.
Ps that gray plug is a proprietary bmw motorad part for motorcycles smh, thats why our cars break.
I've been slacking on updates of this **** box, as I have multiple **** boxes I'm working on. But back in October one of my idler pullies went and caused some minor mayhem. So this piece of junk sat for 2 months while I researched and ordered bearings to replace them. When the bearing failed it messed up the pulley mount on the water pump and snapped the plastic bleed fitting on the thermostat housing.
I replaced all bearing with a precision spec ORS bearing but im not really happy with what i chose, i went with shielded bearings instead of rubber sealed as i was trying to get the highest rpm rated bearings. I replaced the water pump and also replaced the front crank seal as it had a slight leak from when i originally installed the 8 rib crank damper. Then i finally drilled and tapped the thermostat housing for AN fittings to clean things up.
Also, the karen got new shoes to show off when I'm not racing her. Vorsteiner vpx-101 forged wheels in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wrapped in 275/30 out back and 245/35 in the front.
Older update from my last post, but I found the plugs I needed to make a motorsports grade throttle body harness since I was getting those weird mechanical fault codes. So I ordered all tefzel wire wrapped in raychem dr25 and proper plugs etc.
Latest update but haven't really gotten far with yet is upgrading the fuel system and making room in the trunk to clean everything up mounting wise. Still have to drill holes to mount the aluminum 1/8 inch plate as well as mock everything up. Once done I will get the plate powder coated semi gloss black and then bolt and seal the plate to the body using a strong urethane.
Concerning RT(Reaction Time. As RT applies to track and field at the Olympic level, it is factored into all starter gun starts. The instant the starter gun fires, a 0.7sec timer starts.
Pressure plates in the starter blocks signal a false start, if any pressure above baseline is applied by the runner. The Olympic committee conducted extensive analysis on aural reaction time, and concluded perfect RT is 0.7sec.
I haven’t seen anything concerning visual RT, but I assume it is a lower number than the aural RT. Either way, it would be interesting to know.
