Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Did you run a raspberry shake for fluid in your tcase?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I remember splitting the front of my case in half at the shootout, but mine wasn't nearly that bad. You know you're supposed to get out of it when smoke and parts start flying out, don't you? :D

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
All tuned up! I did a roll on in second gear and spun the tires super bad. I tried again in third and the tires spun a little at 7800 RPM! This was on a flat entrance ramp with the QTP’s on it! It has never spun 3rd gear, ever. The spool is a little slower, from what I can tell about 200 RPM. It makes 40 psi by 6200 RPM from a 3rd roll on. I also raised the rev limiter to 9.5K. It’s been awhile since I drove it so it’s hard to tell from my memory if it’s faster. The only thing I could do is to compare a 3rd gear roll on run from last year. It is 0.45 seconds faster from 6K RPM to 8.5K RPM. With 3 psi less boost too. Hopefully the lazier spool will make for a little less of a violent launch off of the line and save the drive train a little. I’m now 100% excited to see if I can beat my personal best MPH and time, right off of the trailer!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
New great passes at MAP PG 2012, maybe I will keep it a 5 speed:)
I cut high 1.4 60ft on each pass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Aileo2urTI&hd=1 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdCATTzpPEc&hd=1 |
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Nice. You gonna keep the stock t-case in there now?

How fast was that run because the 2g was moving! ALso I didnt know that you run a 2.3, i need to talk to you when I build a motor. Nice run. |

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Yes Jim, sleeping at the line, my 9.40 was a .68 reaction time. In the final my reaction was 1.4 lol. I have a lot to improve on with pro trees! This is an easy thing to fix.
So what's next with my talon? Well I might as well make the car faster, so I'm going to put it on a diet and set a goal to remove about 150-200lbs! This should make it much faster. 1. First off I'm going to install the light weight STM brakes up front. Un-sprung weight is king! 2. My father in law has a CNC in his garage and is going to scallop and drill rear OEM rotors. 3. Next MAP helped me source some Flex a Lite Lexan molded glass in the rear of the car. 4. I will also put a new fuel cell in the car, going with a 5 gallon model instead of the 16. I typically race with about 8-10 gallons to avoid cavitation on the deceleration, since the tank is only like 10 inches tall. 5. Fuel Lab fixed and upgraded my fuel pump from the 1500hp to the 1800hp version. 6. I have the new upgraded transfer case on the way. 7. I'm going to gut the front doors, remove the carpet, door panels and center console. 8. Over the winter I will take more extreme measures on weight reduction, but still keep it a street capable car! I’ll take some pics as I go. Should be fun, I will be getting out to the track before the end of the season. Stay tuned! |
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Balls out!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Sweet!!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Awesome, when are you thinking your next passes will be? I'd like to see this thing in action again.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I love your idea of a "street car." :)

I'd like to see it and chat with you a bit. I've heard the door crash bars are pretty heavy and most of the weight on the hatch is the glass not the hatch itself. |

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I like how the pump is mounted right on it. Makes it look simple and clean.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
What's it made out of? Are you going to get it anodized or anything? If it's aluminum I though e98/e85 would eat through it pretty quick?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Very nice!
|
Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Fucking awesome. Are you gonna do any coating?

The plan is to hard anodize the tank. I will show a finished picture next week when it returns. I need to make a change to the pump mount to eliminate the steel PEM studs. I learned that I cannot have it anodized with them installed. I'm going to spin up some aluminum pump mounts on my lathe tomorrow. What’s cool about this project is that going to the aluminum tank alone shaved off 5.2 pounds and changing the way the tank and pump was mounted eliminated another 8.5 pounds. I will also be running 3-5 gallons less fuel when racing, with the old setup I needed to run 8+ gallons so the pump would not cavitate while slowing down at the strip. Bottom line about a total 40 pound total weight savings! |
