    Re: Nitrous Caravan at SDAC 25

    So I visited Zin's Nitrous Supply place and spent a few bucks on half dozen new jets, a new purge solenoid 'kit', a few bits and pieces and had the shop guy test the fuel/nitrous solenoids. They ended up rebuilding one that was 'swollen' and hanging up. Good to know a place that has all the parts in stock The bottle I had was 2 months outta cert so it couldn't be filled Good news is, it was already full! Last years Mustang with the dry shot just didn't run cleanly at the drags which is why most of the runs were made without it. Wet shot owns dry shot Kit is on its way to the hotel with all the new parts

    Well, seeing as how it takes aalllll day to get to PA from the west coast and we're spending the 4th with neighbors... We fly out 8am on the 5th, flight times and picking up the rental should have us to the host hotel around 8pm. Gonna miss auto X but I'd hate to beat up on so many fine TM's in a Caravan anyway

    Re: Nitrous Caravan at SDAC 25

    SDAC= Awesomness as always, Caravan, Meh, milktoast. It the job done but was bland as Poi and wasn't very fun with all the nanny controls that are engineered to kill the kinda hijynx I like to have.


    EDIT: Yes Lasky, you did a fine job on your part of the install, the switch

    Look at the sticker! 70hp shot +20 from the sticker.

    A grade A install. It was enjoyable to watch.
    I'd also like to nominate this as the best use of the Stow-n-Go!

    Re: Nitrous Caravan at SDAC 25

    Traction control is never really off, could unplug a sensor to fix that. But unfortunately its going to determine engine torque based on converter slip and adjust timing/fuel to meet a threshold. That threshold is determined based off previous wheel slip events.

    Any wheelspin at all at the launch and it jumped into 2nd no matter what I tried to do with the shifter or what mode it was in. So only 1 in 4 or so launches were smooth and spinless enough to hold 1st.

    The shifts when the nitrous was flowing were like a half second of ignition cut or? Think of the Slowest shift you could imagine, now add a couple more tenths. Weird part is, without the nitrous, it didn't do the power-cut-shift.

    Then when you WANTED wheelspin(parking lot hyjinx) only 1 time out of 4 would it allow the drive by wire to open the throttle plate. Could power brake a little but only to 2200 before it would drop to idle regardless of pedal postion. Reverse to drive slam worked one time, very next time I tried that little maneuver either the motor stalled of it shut itself off. IT was pissed that time, wouldn't restart for a couple of cranking cycles after that.

    Meanwhile back at home, I've been driving Woody for the last couple days carting Jagger and his buddies around, I'll take the zero nanny edition any day! Heck, there was even a steady stream of underhood admirers at the new Cars and Coffee in Aliso Viejo

    Re: Nitrous Caravan at SDAC 25

    The last 6spd T&C i drove was the slowest responding manual shift feature i have EVER used. The 3-4 upshift in particular was so delayed i kept thinking it had just let go.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    Yep, you nailed that one Jerry, the shifting was probably the most annoying part during the passes.

    Vigo, for whatever reason, the 70shot exacerbated the slow shifts.

    I can tell you i thought it would put up a bit more than what it did.
    It was a very poor effort on its part in the battle of the caravans

    That's actually significantly slower than a correctly functioning stock 3.6/6spd caravan.
