Its not too bad

Went to a streetcar event at PBIR this past weekend, beat a tt mercedes then lost to a alpha9 on c16.

Was fighting a few issues because I lost my intake pipe had to run no hood and still heat soaked really bad. First time running a trans brake and 2step had some fun. Ran 13# on that last run 1.5 60ft 9.6 @144, the gtr did a 1.7 60ft 9.0 at 170

 

and now back to it's natural habitat.

Does Sav have a real job yet or still living in the past glory of ten years ago?

 

this was done by his new mentee will

 

Weighed it it, 2760 nearly full tank of e85. not bad considering auto and turbo.

 

What's in the works?

 

Went to DGRR 2015, it got rained out all 3 days but still had some fun putting faces to names/cars.

 

 

 

Improved our 1/4 mile at the SCT orlando event






Ran another 1/2 mile event, improved to a 181mph on 15 psi(wanted to do a 18-20 psi pull and hit 190) with a small few passes the day we registered for got rained out :barf:

 

That is quite a gnarly car you have there!

 

+1 Looking good!

 

Ordered this on Friday after 2pm, received Monday! Awesome job by J-Auto. We spun a rear wheel bearing at the last event, after 22 years and many high speed events the OEM bearings gave up lol. Now the fun part... to install

 

Got a new turbo for the car... I think this will motivate us to get a built rotating assembly or make for quick inspection of the crank at the track.

GT4788-r big step up from the BWS475 that is on it currently

 

That is a big monster! If I remember correctly, you guys were already pushing the limits of your current setup. So, what else has to be redone? Is that what you mean by building a rotating assembly?

 

We can run this turbo as is for its benefits over journal bearings and it wont blow hot like the current one does at the top end rpm. But yes we will have to change out pistons/rods/crankshaft to really use it to it's full potential, possibly even goto a different block as the 4 bolt head blocks start lifting the head around 1600 crank (only 6 bolt are the LSX and LS7).

 

j-auto is great......always helps me source hard to find parts for the old and slow cars i have......what boost do you plan on running with that new turbo? damn this car just gets faster and faster

 

for now, none. Need to upgrade the pistons/rods/crank then 34+ for around 1350 whp

 

 

Mark, did you drive it all the way to DGRR?

 

if there were enough e85 stations along the way we would have but couldnt

 

This is how we looked 2 weeks before FL2K.

Chopped the fuel tank down and made it taller. Deleted the spare tire well




Made a bulkhead on the motor for the coolant, 1.5in hard line to the rear mount howe dual pass. Used a meziere 55gpm electric water pump.




Made all new pipeing after the turbo, modded the old up pipe to move the turbo over to accommodate its 6in intake. went to a 5in downpipe. Also got a massive 22x12x6 in intercooler core from treadstone.




Kind lost track and stopped taking pics as crunch time approached and we barely made the event. didn't even have time to put a bov on. Still really proud of what we were able to accomplish in such short period of time. Have a few things to button up before the next race event hope to get a 1/4 mi event in before our next 1/2 mile. Want to get an 8s 1/4mi pass and 190+mph in the 1/2mi pass before we move on from this SBE ls3.
