T88 1/2 BP FD vs 554 rwhp Honda S2000 *vid*
 

This race actually happened a few weeks ago, i just forgot to post it here and looking at the lack of good kills in here lately, i'm glad i remembered.

The S2000, is an awesome car. Extremely clean. Running a GT35R, he had C16 in the tank but i'm not sure how much boost he was running, probably high 20s. He made 554 rwhp on the dyno, but i don't think he was making it the night we raced, unless i magically gained 50 HP. My setup is in the vBGarage and I was on Pump gas and around 22 psi on the second pull.

On the first pull, i had my boost set too high and it went way rich, i still pulled about a car on him from about 70 to 140 (3rd and 4th).

On the second pull, i turned the boost down 10% where it should have been for the first pull. Got a good brake boost going and took him by 2 cars, maybe more. He was claiming break-up, but you "run what you brung" as all the local hill-jacks say.

On to the vid:

sweet kill, what kind of power you making???

What is the chase car? It was pretty quick too!

Thanks, I made 512 rwhp on a dynapack. Tuned by Steve Kan back in February.

Here is the dyno sheet:

Chase car is Radkins, 1/2 bridge, T04R. He wanted a piece of the action too.

both of u seemed faster.

nice kill!

nice kill...didnt seem like the s2k was up to your level..

hey Jon,
what's that s2k run at the track?

Congrats on yet another kill...:titty:

p.s. You and Ryan gonna go to St. Louis for the Feb Tune?
Eric says we're gonna limit the session, to leave time to party/go clubbin..:djcelebra

I don't think he has the tires to make a good pass at the strip. He hasn't made a good pass, but it should be in the 10s if he could hook up and put the power down that he made on the dyno.

I don't think i'll be going back, my car is running great. I will probably be turning up the boost this winter to see what kinda power i can make on pump, but Ryan and I are probably just going to do that little bit of tuning ourselves.

Nice kills. Didn't take long to get to around 140!!

Damn good runs.

Brake boosting def helps :D

On the second run, did you start ahead a bit? Its hard to tell from the cam car but looks like you were a car length ahead before the go.

what is radkins running for power he was keeping up pretty well.

I can build all 22 psi while brake boosting if i have enough time and the revs are high enough. Its a weird feeling.

The vid does kind of look like i'm ahead for the second pull, but i remember being dead even because i was looking right at him for the start. I don't know.

He is fairly close to me, we raced a month ago or so and I put about 1 1/2 - 2 cars on him, but he has made some high boost tuning changes since then.

dam cant wait till i tune on race fuel. both cars look good.

be interesting to see what you can get w/ race gas.. better yet W/ 100 octane as this is easily attainable and not as bad on the wallet.

maybe the audio on the camera was turned down, but that was very quiet for a couple of HBP FDs.

Nice kill. S2ks are great cars. If you can kill it from a roll then you know you've earned the kill.

Just go with a water or meth injection setup and stick with pump, unless you plan on running more than 24 psi of boost all the time, i think its the best option.

It must be the camera because they are deafening in person, both wastegates dumped to the atmosphere.

Nice Kill Son!!!!

that was a double kill if the Video car had alittle action to... The vid car cought up to that S2K like nothing.. SO I would say double kill on a S2K.... Nice run

Nice runs. I wish I could get in on some action like that. Good kills.

Dee E.

from the looks of the vid it looks like radkins was the fastest................ohhhhhhh!

great match up and awesome kill. 500+ hp in a s2000 WOW!! good kill

tell me how are we suppose to go to it without a link..

nice

Damn, you have almost 2000 posts and you don't know how to get to the garage? There is a link at the top of the page. Here is the direct link: https://www.rx7club.com/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=17535

Awesome kill, those are some quick cars right there! :icon_tup:

awesome kill! even the chase car was faster lol! the 7 can never lose!!

Yeah.. Makes good sense. Nice runs. Car looks good. G

Na, me and Zinx raced on the way back and we were dead even up to 140. I got a pull in with the S2K and it was the same result as Jon. Put a few cars on him. The S2K guy got it on video, but wont give it up.

any idea what the s2k owner's name might be on s2ki.com?

yea, has the kill been posted on s2ki.com? ;)

whell sorry i never learned the only way i know of is pressing the garage and then searching them the long way.. is there a faster way?

s2ki doesn't have a kills section that I know if, but I was going to check their midwest regional section...

they do have one, go to street encounters ;)

:D I now have entertainment for my days.

I'm not sure if he is even on there.

I doubt it.

yeah, I tried to find it. it's not posted...

want it to be? :)

Theres no reason to start shit, i'm sure they have rx-7 kills over there.

maybe a few...I'd search, but their search feature is useless.

their kills section is like ours. Some cool guys and a bunch of idiots screaming "Teh S2000 can't loooz"

maybe not in so many words, but they view the 8 as a piece of shit(lol) and the MX-5 as well. I've even had a guy(in the RX-8 thread) tell me that RX-7s are slow...:dunno: some people have too much pride.

A lot of uninformed idiots in that forum just like ours...

Just like the world...

i say post the kill, it won't hurt. :)

Not my kill to post. :) Rage, who are you on s2ki?

oooo, my (least) favorite quote from here...

:icon_no2: the guy makes 378whp...I could beat him with my stock twins, and I know there are some really mean bridge ported, single turbo FDs in Florida..idk wtf he's been racing. maybe Probes or Escorts.

i don't post on s2ki but i lurk. a good friend of mine had a turbo s2k and it was very nice.

:lol:

I was waiting for this post Zinx...and have not been on here for a while.

That was a fun night, and no, I wasn't making all the power I could. Had a bit of a boost leak and my plugs were fouled pretty bad on those first two runs, but cleaned up a little later on. The car is set up for about 26 psi.

Here are some of my vids from that night.

Here is Zinx pulling me... :hahaha:

Run what you brung is right... :lol:

I have much respect for the FD's. Very fast cars.

See ya this summer Zinx. :icon_tup:

Sorry Ryan, but like I told you, that last run we did didn't record worth crap and was completely out of focus. You can blame Kevin for that. :hahaha:

But yeah, you got me on that one....

:icon_tup:

OWNED, awesom kill, good job, and nice car.
