Well, this needs to be our cars against each other. Don't make me whip out my buddies supercharged NSX.... Then again he's only running 12psi on it.

There's no way Brent Rau would let me drive the eclipse. His shop OsoFastRacing.com is going to be sponsoring my car club. For those of you who visit the site, thats his old car on there. the new one is rwd and does 7.91

 

i heard adrians car is up and running.. somewhat. scott sent me a pic of adrians car parked outside some guys house :P

and i think there's this guy from rotary motorsports (igor?) that has a nice t2.. goes by the name 16psi_boost on bcrx7 i think

 

adrains car *was* runing ahahaha..... passed a VI and aircare few weeks ago. and bought insurance. but his turbo just blew up last week or something LMAO... it started smoking bad out the exhuast. got home and pulled the intake and it had tones of play. so it's getting rebuild right now... with bigger parts

we'll see how long the car lasts next time LOL

 

That car is so..... (won't even say it)

 

so... off topic?

Sean, go into the FD forum and start some **** w/ dragon or someone.

 

Hey liquid you think i could join in? DJChunter vs RoyJames(if you want).. i too have a stock port mid 14sec N/A.. i just went to a new carb setup and would like to see what it will run now .. let me know..
Dave

 

Hell yeah!!! I'm SURE "Roy" will be happy to participate. And I plan to give Mr. 13-sec a run for his money.

Funny how hard my car pulls UNDER 4K... and it's broken

 

Hell yeah im in! That damned Carb setup will whoop my ***, but its all in good fun, ****, lets do it, maybe after i get a standalone i might have a chance with that carb. yeah yeah yeah

 

My car pulls plenty fine under 4K. So much that I can start in second gear without bogging or feathering the clutch very much.

I have an open invitation for any nay sayers to come view and ride in my car. I have nothing to hide. Dre_2000 lives about 20 miles from my parents and he's yet to even show interest in "disproving" my claims. ****, I'm even gonna be in his city friday night and he won't come take a look at it....

When was the last time you guys ran with an SS camaro off the line and kept with him till 90? That was even with a vac leak! I stomped the **** out of a new thunderbird the other night too. It was an old guy talking major **** and playing with the riceboys around here... I pulled around him so fast he went home. I talked to him a couple days before and mentioned I wanted to race him and he laughed... He wasn't laughing when he drove off after I came out to play.

I wanna run against a C5 vette! I need some competition.

 

I smoked a SS Camero @ the track and I also wasted one on the highway @ 125 mph, I passed him.


I have proof, My wife was there for both runs..

 

I have fun toying with the GSX's on the highway. They all think their little awd system is so great till they get about 30ft and start losing ground.

GLHS, Although you and I disagree to the extent of safety vs weight reduction... we both understand the power to weight ratio's importance. When will these kids learn?

 

I'll learn after you post a better timeslip & video than I do. C'Mon now, this isn't a pissing contest again; keep it competitive... eh' Buddy Jesus?

 

damn you guys live to far... i would be willing to run if i was over there.... but the only thing i even drive close to is oaklahoma over the summer..... i wanna pit my new motor agianst someone

 

That's the point

We will never be lined up agenst eachother; this is a timeslip shoot-out. The person w/ the lowest timeslip (and video to prove it) wins the grudgematch.

I wanted to get this going across the forum. Seems like a cool idea to me.

 

coo man this is gonna be some fun boys.. just cannot wait till opening day at Norwalk so i can be there all day and maybe make 2 passes.. the **** is crowed.. well i guess we will see whos the top dogs in march..
Dave

 

i am sure the nice 50* weather in march will be helping me too .. gotta love Ohio..

 

oh **** no way!!! can't wait for the track to open up out here agian i dunno even know why its closed its only like 70 degrees over here gotta love socali

 

All I can do until July is sit around... and make my car faster...

 

**Rise from your grave!!**
i found this thread doing a search for something involving N/As. so whatever happened to this? is there another thread somewhere? a link would be nice.
thanks.

 

Yo,




Heh, that brings back memories...

Kevin
1989 GTUs "I think Jimmy sold his car..."

 

Yea... he sold the motor and has given up on Mazdas. Just read his quote underneath his name and you'll see. Wow... this does bring up memories.

 

yea, i saw the "**** mazda" thing, but i didnt take it as an attack on rotaries at all. hell, i didnt think twice about it.
i am, however, overly pleased (call me a giggling schoolgirl) that the reference was so quickly noticed.

well, i was hoping to see where they got with their cars. i've been trying to find info on N/As from people who have actually tried, not just the type with a mild streetport and exhaust and claim all N/As are slow (isnt/wasnt the fastest drag n/a rotary a mid/low 8 second car?). but i guess, again, this thread can be laid to rest.

ps. jimmy loses by default

 

The turbo N/A will. I'm only runnin 6psi and I'm easily in the low 14 range. Horsepower increase was 60rwhp over the n/a, if only my damn clutch wouldn't slip anymore. Hell more than likely lower mid 13 if I keep the clutch from slipping. Some kills:

newer f-bodies
new camaro ss
porsche 911 turbo from 0-70
various mustangs (gt, roush, etc)
new thunderbirds (what a joke)

Also an couple of late 60's corvette's. The z05 guy wouldn't run me anywhere past 80 (at which point i was a car ahead), and kept on saying he wasn't trying to race (yet it sure sounded otherwise).

But regardless, I hit anything past 7psi and my clutch goes to ****. I'd be interested in taking on some of the similarly modded TII's once I get my damn clutch in and wind it up to 12psi.

 

From personal experience, (and I have experienced both first-hand) I would tend to disagree. with a gain in compression of .5 between the S4 and S5, only 18 hp were gained, and the S5 ran an extra 2 psi of boost! an additional 0.4 psi of compression will hardly make a difference in my opinion to anything outside of lag.
Add in the extremely restrictive stock intekae manifolds and ports on the N/A, and I think the TII motor will have the upper hand.
for a 14 second timeslip, also keep in mind you are running full exhaust, intake, and FMIC. A stock TII will run 13's with those mods at 6.5 psi.

 

Well you said mod for mod, heh. I'm sure I can hit 13 with a functioning clutch, hoping to get a run in on this coming up friday, we'll see!

And for sake of comparison, my '89 TII (which had basically the exact same setup) was a hell of a lot slower at 8psi than the N/A, but then again I have no precise way to measure other than my generic test run on a closed off road I do to gauge changes in mods.
