Nice vid! Still can't get over 140.77mph in the quarter on the stock 6bolt, still awesome.

Thanks for posting that video Mike!

BIR didn't say anything about not having a cage to any of the guys going quicker than 11.5 or trapping higher than 135. They did say something to the guys running 8's but I think they were just letting the street cars slide because there wasn't very many people at the event.

Thanks dude! That was an awesome race in the finals.

Re: Beater 2g
 

Just leave it gutted.

Put the 100 shot in there and go for for a 9.

:D

I say do some suspension work first, that will probably help you out a bit.

Woop woop, car no longer looks like a monster truck.

Must have cut the coils.

Re: Beater 2g
 

looks freakin nice lowered!

Re: Beater 2g
 

Thanks Jim, wouldn't have done it any other way!

Thanks dude! I don't know if I'd say the car looks nice by any means but it looks decent enough from 10ft haha.

Re: Beater 2g
 

:D

I am guessing that you put springs in then?

He's been sitting on some coilovers for a while, it's about damn time he got off his ass and installed them.

Now he just needs to wash it

Re: Beater 2g
 

Yep got some Tein Flex coil overs in there. I bought them from a member on here and the rears needed to be rebuilt. I got them back yesterday and they were in yesterday night ;)

roffles at the tag!

Re: Beater 2g
 

Those must have been some magical welds!

Re: Beater 2g
 

510awhp no nitrous today, so things seem fairly good with the manifold, intercooler and motor. Maybe hit it with the nitrous later this week.

Re: Beater 2g
 

^wtf?

Re: Beater 2g
 

Yea I'm pretty pumped it made that kind of power on just boost. Best numbers before were 488. 100 shot should hopefully be pretty fun.

Huge thanks again to Shane for the awesome, amazing tune and Danny for fixing my intercooler and intake mani!!!!!

What I found in the surge area of the compressor housing.

I'm really not sure what to do, I think I'm getting super close to maxing this turbo out and was thinking of going bigger but I also wanted to go to the track one more time this year. It spins fine and doesn't look like it hits the housing when you spin it but you can tell it did or whatever did rub around for a little bit.

Maybe I should just say fack it for the year and do a couple upgrades and try and actually go fast or really say fack it slap it together with the twin disc that should be here tomorrow and let the mo' effer buck. haha decisions, decisions

Re: Beater 2g
 

Did it suck up a squirrel or something? hahaha I dunno that I would try running it like that. At least pull the compressor cover and make sure none of that stuff is wrapped around the wheel.

Re: Beater 2g
 

It kind of looks like a piece of thread or something, I just wish I knew how it got in there. I thought after turning the car off last week I thought the turbo didn't sound the same but didn't even bother to investigate becuase it still pulled pretty decent.

Good call on taking it apart, I'll have to do that tomorrow at work.

Re: Beater 2g
 

damn that sucks. hopefully it's just what you found and not 40 feet of miscellaneous thread lol.

Re: Beater 2g
 

Brad, I got turbo I'd make you a really good deal on, if you wanted. PM me. ;)
