Talking Getting my car ready for 10s!

I posted this in the Rotary Performance area as well, but I had to keep a special one for my 1st gen boys and girls I seems there are quite a few of you that don't go into other areas....

June 21 and 22 will be my weekend guys June 23rd is my birthday so I better get a 10!!

Here are the preperations so far:

http://users.bigpond.net.au/ajc13b/pre_dyno.avi

Video is nearly 9 meg but only just over a minute. I really have to get a handle on this compression thing...

The car is going on the dyno tomorrow night (Sydney time) with C16 and 25psi+. Hoping for close to 600rwhp (Dynojet HP), previously it made near 500rwhp on the nose on pump fuel with the dud turbo, so with the new turbo, new boost solenoid, more boost and more timing it should come close

Will get video of the car on the dyno of course and post it up for for you guys to see. Hope you guys don't mind

Steve

How much does your car weigh? 600RWHP and only shooting for 10s? You either have bad traction problems or you have a full interior car /w cage.

Either way good luck on your run.

I heard those are just the sample-size cans, the REAL cans (the ones we don't get in the US because we rarely get the Good Stuff here) are 4-liters each

The funny thing is... no-one in Australia actually drinks Fosters.

Kind of like how no one in the Netherlands drinks Groelsch or Heineken, because it is considered crap? And American mass produced beers are only really popular outside of our country? Funny how every country thinks imported beers are better.

Wait, there are people outside of the US that like American beer?

Are you talking about the Good Stuff (microbrewy type stuff) or do you mean the generic pisswater that you can buy a case of 30 cans for $10?

edit: Hey now... I like Heineken

With me in it the car used to weigh close to 2800lbs. Now I have pulled the interior out, it should weigh a little less. I am only shooting for 10s so I don't dissapoint myself. If I get a 9 out of it...well...I don't think I need to say how I would feel

Thanks Mike and Direct Jeremy - there will be plenty of footage

Gamble - I know what you are saying, by I have seen the bolts holding my flywheel on and I think I am safe. THat RX7 sheared off its flywheel bolts...10000rpm will do that to a stocker

As for beer...Fosters is crud!

Rooting=having sex.

And we certainly don't drink Bud Light. There's plenty of good local beers and the imported Irish beers are pretty popular.
