Spider bite/bee stings have reduced inswelling (but definitly not itching) and are beginning to resemble a small zit or welding spark burn. (white head with clear fluid).
I think it was a hornet. It wouldnt be the first time this winter I found one upstairs. The attic is full of nests.
Well off to the shop. Weather sucks but I'll be able to start it up and pull it outside.
Sorry folks, I had to take a brake from work. I have been grieving the past few days. My beloved black lab Moe closed his eyes for the last time after 11 years of unconditional love. It has left our family heartbroken...
I'm going to start the car up in a minute here, without air intake/filter for now. I just wanna hear it run to cheer me up.
Thankyou for your sympathy,Russ. You never realize just how much a part of the family they are until they are gone.
The ol solstice- whew! She sounds real mean. alot louder thanks to the lack of a Cat. For now anyway. No leaks,just trying to get the coolant system bled and were good to go.
Makes a very surpising amount of boost for free revvin', Bov sounds very loud.
Aww man. Im so sorry about your lab. Have a cold one for Moe.
As for the car, I believe the vehicle makes decent boost in neutral due to the fact that. revving the vehicle towards the bottom and mid range there is a lot of overlap thanks to the Sidi + VVT. Oh and the BB :}
I drove it about a mile and back from my house. It makes 11psi with the spring I have in the wastegate currently. When the comuter reduces boost (wheelspin) it goes down to 4psi. Makes sence since it's 5psi spring.
I'm goign to swap it out for a 14psi spring to more positively hold the gate shut. Which will furthure decrease boost threshold. It's easily as fast as stock @ 11psi.
It comes in real hard around 3kish. By the time I get done with cam/igniton timing I should have it all in by the same 3K.
I havent really taken any data, just needed to go for a quick rip for a smile.
Since I have the voltage clamped at 4.2V on the 2nd map feed, I'll be able to get whateve boost I choose. The wife likes the looks of theh Profec B more that the E-boost 2 (huh? ya know) so I'll be installin it shortly.
I'm goign to get all of the tunin' squared up this week and Dyno it. Once the results are posted I will remove all parts alter a few of my Jigs for production changes and begin making the kits.
When you see BTF onthe sidebar. you'll know everything's ready to go.
Lol Ive been the Baldturbofreak for along time. It started with a drunken screen name on the subaru forum. 8 years later= BTF Racing Inc. came out of it. Baldturbofreak Racing was just to odd to stick on the front of a building.
I will Video it up tomorrow weather pending. (well if I cant drive it I willstart it and let er bark at ya.)
Ya know what's F-d up? Didnt do a damn thing to the program yet, and after 2-3 hrs of running,burping bubbles from the coolant, free revving and several 0-60 pulls. No CEL's for no cat. Pretty weird huh?
Lol I see, I guess BTF is the natural progression!
As for the CEL, once you've completed all of the "monitors", or ~ 10 hot cold cycles, whatever it is for OBD2 now-a-days you'll throw the cell, don't you worry.
I'm not surprised it feels as fast at 11 PSI with the 35 as it does stock. The size of that compressor is a huge restriction, people tend to forget that a small housing impedes intake flow as well as exhuast, despite the intake system being pressurized.
I'm interested to see what kind of power the engine would put down with no turbo to be honest... Hehe, but I'm more interested to see this thing put down 400 WHP on pump gas. : O with a huge turbo.

sorry for your loss a pet ends up being more than a pet more like a son or daughter... I dread the day one of my cats pass... They meet me at the door after work every day and talk about how their day was and just wantxsome tlc...who could ask for more.
Have a cold one for Moe.
