Finally getting stuff done on our cars - Page 17

I think you guys have all forgotten that those who go fast didn't do it by memorizing compressor maps and studying formulas. Josh is putting out some solid numbers, quit riding his nuts with internet theory.

I am just trying to help him out. The car is doing great and is among the highest HP 3/S's already, that is a great accomplishment. A few bugs to work out and he will put down the times that the car is capable of.

I think he's #2 for 3/s as far as HP goes?

Give 'em hell!!!

Slight update on this thread.

Weighed the car tonight.
3480 with me in it.
New power levels are 720.2awhp.

Last season the car weighed 3780 race weight and made 620awhp on the 11.45 @ 135.76mph pass, severly syncro and traction limited.

Going to try to add a bit more power and take a bit of weight out of it still before season opener

.

11.44 here I come!!

Do you know what your front-rear and right-left breakdowns are?

EclipseGST · 02-22-2007

So are you keeping the new turbo/turbos a secret or are you planning on letting the news out since its obvious you are selling the 50 trims off the stealth?

FattyBoomBatty · 02-22-2007

Well, it must run.

Dual gt30r's maybe? Did you go to hedbergs or get some cornerweight scales or something?

niterydr · 02-22-2007

No I will not be disclosing the new turbo's. I have 1 setup I really want to do, and 1 that is a fallback plan.

The car was just weighed at SCI Recycling in Anoka. Same place I weighed it last time.

The higher hp numbers were a result of the fmic. The car has been running all winter, infact we made a video of me whipping shitties at the old shop before we moved.

I say stick with the fiddy's til you get some times worthy of their potential. But thats me, I'm conservative.

We've thought about that. Pretty much if I can sell the turbo's, they are gone...if no-one wants to buy them, then I can not afford to upgrade at this time.

**Goat Blower** · 02-22-2007

Bah, I always upgrade long before I reach the potential of my setup, it's the American way.

You gonna stick with twins or goto a big single?

Going to stick with the twin setup. I really don't like any single configurations as far as manifold routing is concerned.

Now if I spun the motor and went RWD, then I'd plop a single on there.

But of course!

So, can we see that vid?

Swifty1638 · 02-22-2007

Is that the weight we spoke on josh? I thought you said 33xx lbs? Still, it's come a way since the full weight it once was. if 720 on a car that's a few houndred pounds lighter won't trap better then a low 10, I don't know what will. Cept for maybe those other turbos you speak of.

btw, I think you should post that vid. It was quite the sight to see. I thought you where going to take it out against some other concrete walls or something. It was awesome to see that every hole you had, wheels, rear bumper, hell even the front bumper was PACKED with snow lol.

I was hoping to break 3550.
I will see if I can find the damm video, I think ryan knows where it is.

EclipseGST · 02-22-2007

What I dont understand is, you made 720awhp with "major traction issues". Now you are selling the turbos to go with something bigger but still have traction issues... How are larger turbos going to help you?

We have the traction issues figured out. All season tires suck on the drag strip

...hoosier DOT radials don't.

I would like to have larger turbo's available so I can adjust the power up and down at an overall higher level.

Right now there is 100% NOTHING left in the turbo's. I can make more power with Nitrous, a different fuel type, or getting stupid crazy with timing (aka pushing it beyond safe). I would be fine with a small shot, but running the 50 trims way off the efficiency map isn't something I like to do.
