    Need suggestions on tires!

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Posted

    Hey guys!

     

    So I have been looking for a new set of wheels for my S130 and I have my mind set on some Work Equip 03's in a 15x9.5 with a -13 offset. My only problem is finding a tire to fill everything up nicely. I like how the 255/40-17's look on the ZX wrapped on a set of Rota's. I hopped on a tire calculator to find a comparable size in a 15" rim and came up with a 265/50-15.

     

    My only problem now is finding a tire with a good speed rating. Everything I have been able to find has been an S speed rated tire. Keep in mind this is my DD turbo car w/350~whp.

     

    If anyone has any suggestions while I continue to hunt down a decent tire.....please feel free to post them up!

     

    Thanks,

    Adam Silver

    This is the wheel I want, but my ZX is not set up for a stretched tire like this one.

    I'm sorry man....I was at work and was having a bad day.

     

    The L28E motor is notorious for having heat soak problems after the car has sat, after running, for about 5~15 minutes. This heat soak can make the car miss fairly bad until enough liquid gas can make into the cylinders. Also, if your warm up enrichment settings in MS are way off, it can possible cause miss fires. I would not mess with your dwell as it can REALLY mess some stuff up if you get it wrong.

     

    I also have a 240sx TB and it has an adjustment screw(hex head stud w/ an 8mm nut that holds it in place) on the oposite side of the TPS.

     

    And as everyone else has said.....make sure your timing gun agrees with what MS is reading.

    Dude.......you have a lot to learn. I recomend you start reading up on MegaSquirt's websites and do a little reaserch on how the system works.

     

    Figure out EXACTLY what equiptment you have on the car and EXACTLY what problems need to be addressed.

    Intake air temperature

    I am running a large intercooler and a GT30 T3/T4 running 15psi with the air filter mounted on the face of the turbo. My IAT sensor is mounted just before the TB. My IAT's usually run about 15~20* above outside air temps on hot summer days. I have seen 8~10* above on cold winters(35~40* days). Those numbers were before I wrapped my exhaust manifold. I wrapped it after I recently put the motor back together, I'll post my results after I get my car back from paint.

    Here is a picture of mine - You'll notice it is the newest from Speedhut in the larger 4.25" configuration. I think I'm one of the first to get one...

    One thing to note about GPS speed.  Unless the GPS unit has a built in correction for descent and ascent angle, the speed will only be accurate when you are on level ground.  Boats are obviously always on level paths.  Hills cause significant error on the GPS speed readings.

     

    Sine Cosine Tangent.

     

    The Speehut Revolution GPS speedo does have a feature where it tells you your altitude. I wonder if it has a correction factor incorporated with the altimeter. I will do some tests if I ever get my car back.
