I have a New Bonne!!!
The forecast for the weather has been right on.
Foggy with highs of 45 F and lows of 32 F..........and dry roads. :twisted: The time was right :!: The rain the last few days has washed away the salt and only the main highway is salted due to 0 C temps at night. But the city streets are dry and clean so the time was right. :twisted: I started the Bullet and let it warm up for 5 minutes. I could smell the header wrap on the crossover exhaust pipe burning off its "new" vapours but a nice steady idle. :dancing: Laura came with me......for a ride in the Bonne you dirty minded Bonne lover. :lol: Intake air temp at first held steady at 70 F. Outside air temp was 42 F I will keep my references in Farenheit and mph from now on.......that's my preference anyway. :P It took 15 minutes of driving at 40 mph before the coolant temp hit 160 F. It took 22 minutes of similar driving before the transmission temp hit the 130 F minimum where I will begin to put my foot into it. .....and that I did. :twisted: Holy Mother of God. :eek!: I have an all new kind of SSEi Bonneville. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: All six of those pumping pistons are now so much freer to pump that air in and out of this 3800 force fed engine. :bouncingsmiles: The intake air temp after the SC would climb to 140 F when I hit the loud pedal and accelerate from 30 to 50 mph I am using that word accelerate loosely. :roll: Very loosely. :twisted: Any kind of heavy throttle from slower speeds bring both front tires to a boil with the tach bouncing off the 6200 rpm rev limiter. :lol: The first time I goosed it I watched the KR and saw it spike to 15. :shock: I know, I know....it needed some time to learn. I drove around for a while longer playing with the scan gauge. I also played a bit with the water injection. It was cool to watch how reactive the intake air was to the spray. Instantly dropping from the normal cruising under vacuum 110 F to 70 F instead of rising to 140 F. When the weather warms up, the temp differences will be more extreme. ;) So by the time I was done with the 1 hour cruise, the KR was down to 0 with the 3.4" and intake temps were steady at 110 F with no injection. Much more to come........ :headbang: |
For those that don't understand, the temps Paul is referring to are AFTER the supercharger. He added a gauge. These aren't IAT temps at the filter.
Excellent road report Paul. Glad I could help out with a little of it! Zilla Motorsports strikes again. :twisted: |
Yes, Bill's right thanks. :D
I read my true engine intake air temp after compression at the outlet of the supercharger. 8) I give much credit to Wren-Zilla Motorsports for the port and polish work done to the Gen V SC with personalized "SilverBullet" L32 adapter plate. :2thumbup: Everything else is 2000SilverBullet Engineered Installations. :lol: |
Cool, now we will wait for a video after your pcm learns more about it's new friend 8)
