What were you doing when it went? How much meth were you running?

 

I was running 20psi, i dont use meth i use 91% denatured alcohol. I was racing all day. The time it went i was in 4th gear at about 6500rpm and it just went POP, like when you shift and shoot a flame. Then the engine died, and sounded like ***. =( Donations welcome

 

**** man I am really sad to hear this because RX7store built my halfbridge motor too. WHEN I pop my motor again I am going with a VORTECH'D FORGED LS2...... 800whp on pump!!!

 

Damn, almost makes me sick to my stomach. Rx-7 store built my 1/2 as well. I think i'm going to stick with straight methanol, much better cooling properties. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Someone in the lounge said it was the tune! I hope not!

 

So many things to go wrong, no faith fellas? even PD's vorteched LS1 will eventually pop. granted it may take longer but thats the game we play!

One of the main reasons I went with RA super seals is to try to cut down on the rebuild cost! At least the housings, rotors and turbo stand a chance if the apex seals dont shatter!!!!

 

so is brake boosting more effective than rev matching?say from 5th to 3rd?

err in the case of stock twins that is..

 

You can't really rev match in a roll race, thats a shifting term.

Brake boosting, however, makes a huge difference and the bigger your turbo, the more it will help. I can brake boost in 2nd, make 22 psi and start smoking the tires off without accelerating. Its a weird feeling.

 

Where is that posted at?

 

Yea, I am just tired of this car being shitty (reliablility wise). I can't even drive it to FL without something breaking. Next motor will be a LSX for sure.

 

that car wasnt making anywhere near 700 hp... im not saying his setup wasnt capable of 700, i just know it wasnt making 700. nice race

 

So don't keep us in suspense! What was he making?

 

not 700... i have seen and listened to MANY 700+hp supras and that my friend is not one of them. but thanks for the smart *** comment.

 

Haha you can tell by the sound that he was not making 700? You have to at least put a guess in then. I am sure Ice can find out if he does some digging.

 

Sorry.

I would have never been able to guess from that video myself.

 

sorry but LOL at this.

 

Did you happen to "hear" what type of wheels he was using??? I'm just dying to know!! What a tool....

 

cool vid

 

I was making a guess at 700rwp. He really wont disclose exactly what he has and what boost he runs, so its kinda hard to judge. But like i said, for him to be able to lay stripes on the road with SLICKS in 3rd gear, its gotta have some *** behind it.

Besides, i have raced and beat a 560rwp cobra which is 3600lbs. The supra is around the same i believe, and the supra walked on me. He had to be over 600rwp.

 

FWIW, phantasm dyno'd ~750rwhp @ 32 psi on C-16.

 

oooh reeeally well huh... cuz it sure didn't "sound" like it to me

 

there u go. I highly doubt he was running 32psi, he would have really kicked my *** then

 

ok ok ok you got me... a 200-300 hp rx7 got pulled on by a 700+ hp supra... and it didnt even pull that bad. come on man use your damn head! and yes!!!!!!! it did and does sound like it... watch all the big hp supra videos

 

thanks!!! he didnt even pull on you that bad. so you didnt even get beat all that bad. like you said had he been making 700hp he would have walked away.

 

He was making almost 500 to the wheels!!! Not 200-300. For a supra to pull 3 cars on him like that it would have to be making in the 650-700 range.
