OHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GOD!!!! My car is faaaast!
 

WOW!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

After about 10 full months my car is finally done and DAMMMMNNNN does it go!

Stock boost, PINEAPPLE LSP MOTOR w/ ceramic seals, dp, mp, apexi GT Spec, RE Amemiya intake...THIS CAR DOESN'T RUN...IT FLIES!!!!!

SO SMOOOOTH!!! SO MUCH POWER!! After being screwed around, fucked up the ass, and having a car that ran like shit for longer than I can remember I finally found the right fucking people to get my car running....and boy does it run - LIKE A DEMON!!!

Props to R & R Rotary in Upland and ofcourse PINEAPPLE RACING!!! This car is beyond anything I could have ever expected!

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPPPPY!!!!

What a way to make my 1000th post!! whoooo hoo!!

Thats nice to hear man, GL with the car.

Hey man! How's it going?! Hawaii huh??? Do know any of the FD guys there? I met about 10 or 12 of them last time I was at the islands, we went on a nice big cruise...I'm planning to move there in about a year, hopefully I'll get to meet you next time ;)

CHEERS!!!

Jason

Did you open up the engine to make sure your ceramic seals are in there ;)

:bubrub: glad to hear your problems are over. :)

Chronos--dyno plots, man, dyno plots :) Glad to read of your success :)

:bsflag:

HAHA just kidding

Good news chronos. Isn't it nice when everything starts working right for once?

I hope you have an ECU of some kind, or a kick ass boost controller if you're running the mp on a stock unit.

Congrats. I hope my second Pineapple engine performs as well as yours. I am keeping the faith

soo... give us some times.. you say fast, but HOW fast???? :)

congrats chronos, i know you have been through a lot

now go drive your car! enjoy it

yeah, like how fast is fast??

i know alot of people that say their cars are fast and they run like 14s..

my 7 runs a low 13s and i think thats slow..

bubble buster

Finally Drove 3 Seconds! :D

good stuff cant wait for my car to run smooth too

Dude, that's great news man, congrats.

Congrats man! Lets see some pics and dyno numbers tho! ;)

MY car runs from 0 to breaks fast....

Doesn't matter how fast it goes aslong as he is that happy with his car.

Now that I'd said that bullshit. HOW FAST DOES IT GO?!! lol

Sweet! I go thru this about every 3 to 6 months...when I blow my motor and then rebuild it :P

Thanks for all the support! I think I might have forgotten Mr. RX794 in the props list, thanks a bunch for all the help and suggestions bro! ;) Glad you guys can all share in a little of my enthusiasm! :D

I posted some pics of my engine and the ceramic seals (good shots if I do say so myself!) when the engine first arrived from Pineapple at that other shop I was using. I guess I can dig them up for this thread.

As for the dyno thing, the PowerFC I bought off some guy on the forum turned out to be a bad unit so I think I'm gonna install a haltech e6x and get the thing all nice and dialed in! I would estimate dyno graphs in about a month or so...For me though, it's not just the power that I'm stoked about, it's how god damn SMOOTH this thing runs!

Some of the things R & R was able to find for causes of the shitty vibration was a) Way wrong sized counterweight (the main cause) b) Some bolts not tightened down somewhere around the engine c) Something with the primary turbo d) They realized after looking at the clutch when it was taken off that it may have been installed backwards!
All these things just added up to make my car a harsh, shitty running ghost of what it really could be!

Anyways, here's the pics, I made it semi-dial up friendly! Enjoy :)

The last shot is of some Ianetti seals, mine were pineapple's own design, but same 2peice 3mm.

Also, if any of you local guys would like to see the car in action, I'll be racing a guy from my work with a viper sometime in the future after I get everything all squared away, that should produce some nice footage! :D I'll also be attending as many SCCA events as possible once the car's ready...A few organized canyon runs wouldn't be a bad idea either so long as people keep things under control! :cool:

damn, looks like that apex seal was super glued in place :-)

I will feel the same way too if I was you
