Thanks for hosting!

Damn that running out of fuel thing... We've had that happen a few too many times. :pow: We got a Spec clutch setup for the General Leif last year. So far we've only done one or two weekends on it, but I hope it holds up. It feels very nice so far, anyway. :x:

Ps. We’ve built a new motor and continue to eat camshafts every race. We might finally have a potential solution, but thicker oil and an oil cooler were not it. Maybe knocking the edge off the tops of the shims with Emery cloth is the trick? It’ll be expensive to find out. We may go with a...

1. Yes, open loop all the time. 2. I’ll have to get on the tuning laptop some day to take a screenshot of the map. It’s not dialed in by any stretch as we never did any real tuning of that map, but it was at least not losing power when we took timing out of it at WOT so we ran with it. 3...

Erland has been awesome with advice on the General Leif project. He does use AGAP grind stuff in some of his own motors (and son’s), but did also mention that he doesn’t like their surface finish either. They’re not super polished. I just looked at the Kyrk stuff again, it’s been a while since...

Maybe! 😊

Specs?

Heyo! Marc(itb-volvo), Tony(reeferman), another non-Volvo guy and I are racing the General Leif 142 at Thunderhill and it's free to come watch and hang out! There's a practice day on Friday that we'll be doing, then there's a cumulative 7hr race both Saturday and Sunday. We're happy to have you...

Want to ride along during my only race stint of the Ridge Motorsports Park weekend in the General Leif? Come take a look! I still want to make a condensed, highlight version of this with writing in the footage, but I?m not getting around to it and figure it?s worth sharing anyway. I made some...

On the General Leif Erland Cox is recommending we run an oil cooler, such as the 940 turbo oil/water cooler setup. We don't have a lot of room but it might be possible, the only issue is we already run an Accusump and have the oil filter relocated on the car. We just put a new 240/740 radiator...

Interested in NON-TURBO, normally aspirated power increases? Here's a lot of info to digest if you'd like! First I put up some basic power levels to be expected with various amounts of preparation work, then I have links to threads with more information if you want to look and read yourself. I...

Hello there! I figured I'd make a separate thread than post in the long thread because this way you can actually find a thread just for what you're researching... In the General Leif we're running 850T injectors with a 960 MAF, 933 ECU and injector constants of Injector Constant 1 at 104 and...

Hello all! Marc and I will be racing the General Leif at Portland International Raceway this coming 4th of July weekend and you should all come out to say hello or hang out for a while(or all day, or volunteer, whatever you want)! It's free to watch and walk around among the race cars and people...

Next Tuesday, Marc and I are going to try and dial in the General Leif on the dyno(Dynojet). I have been on the dyno before but never played with tuning on it. I have been "street" tuning after driving the car on the track(without a passenger seat, so drive, pull over, change and drive again)...

What are people using? We need something that'll deal with 550lb+ front springs and 150-200lb+ rear springs and that will hold up to hours of abuse at a time. Adjustable would be nice to help dial things in at the various tracks.
