Today the weather was great, 50 degrees and sunny. Decided to go to the no-prep event at Capitol and test the car. Big items I wanted to test were the following.
- MPVI3 -> standalone data logging
- Pure Drivetrain Transmission
- IC Chiller
- Fore Triple Pumps
MPIV3
The MPVI3 is a inferior product to the MPVI2 in my opinion but it does offer standalone data logging out of the box. I do not want a laptop to go flying and I removed the laptop mount as I'd rather have a seat for the MILFs. I unfortunately had to upgrade to 5.x to get a stable way of retrieving files off the device. The channels somewhat recorded, sometimes I'd get data missing and it was showing that the fuel system only had 66.6psi of pressure all the way through but that made no sense. Other times the map would only read 4.0 all the way through which also made no sense... Whenever upgrading VCM Suite, always re-poll for supported parameters and check your channels. I will sort this out tomorrow. Gets a pass..
PURE MOTHAFUCKING DRIVETRAIN TRANSMISSIONS
It was a tossup what would happen. Safe today that all the beating it took it endured and so it gets a pass. I will monitor it over the season but I don't feel worried at all. Good burnouts, first gear launches, second gear launches, etc. It was ready to throw down. All testing was done in SPORT mode on a STOCK TCM tune. For now gest a pass, a big pass and this is a big weight off my shoulders.
IC Chiller
The least problematic out of all of them, performed flawlessly. However I am tired of the BMR tank, will be up for sale soon. Calling IC Chiller on Monday and seeing what my options are for a bumper support tank. All in all IATs kept their cool and the coolant temp got pretty cold with the limited time from starting the car to making a pass.
Fore Triple Pumps
Since I was having trouble data logging fuel pressure thanks to the MPVI3 I am giving this a pass for now. If the car was going to grenade it would have done it during a fat pass coming around a procharged 6.4. Debating on moving them to a toggle switch or just letting it ride. HHP seems keen on the hobbs switch being perfectly fine so I'll let it ride. Once I get my data logging channels back up and running that will be the real arbiter.
All in all a great day. Nothing broke, drove home, IC Chiller did it's job, car was happy. Some small knock here and there but that's more cause of the no-prep and the way the car reacts on the surface. Once I get better data logging with the mpvi3 I'll know more. I have an idea of what I think I need to change and will continue to monitor the trans.
