Ok i will start off by explaining the situation with my car. I bought it with 80k on original motor. I bought a pfc and realized it was only boosting around 7psi (.55 bar). I don't want to keep spending money to get it fixed if i know the motor is going to need to be replaced so i am just waiting untill the engine dies. Anyways..

As far as i know all the gt had was exhaust. Ive never really practiced launching my car before so that was the best i could do haha. The camera position sucks but at the end i had him by about 3 cars maybe more.

The eclipse beat the gt from a roll so i thought it would be a better race. When i asked him how much power he had all he said was 300tq to the front wheels, not to sure about that though. If i am correct those cars are heavy as ****.

Anyways i know i could be running with better cars but they are my friends and wanted to give it a go. After i get my new motor + single turbo i should have some more videos up!

My mods are do, intakes, pulley kit, 8lb flywheel, and pfc. I know the outcome would have been different though if i was boosting 10psi.

No offense, but you guys could have chosen a better place to do this. Nice car and all, just be careful bro.

 

Theres never any cars on that road it doesn't lead to anywhere. It wasn't the best place to do it but we did the runs and got out of there.

 

yeah your car is down on some serious power. but ncie vid.

 

I agree. Look at all the white smoke coming out when i shift . After watching it over a few times i really need to practice on my launch lol i probably could have gotten a few more car lengths on the stang with a good launch. Thx for the compliments!

 

Nice race man. Hope you got your boost problem fix.

 

would being in the inner corner of the turn helped you in anyway?
Nice cars tho~

 

25mph speed limit...lol nice run.

 

i think ive been back their before its real close to lettuce lake park. wish i would of had the time to run you.

 

its actually off of bruce b downs. next time your in tampa definitely!

 

So... is morris bridge rd still too busy?

 

^^ yeah unless its late at night.

 

Wow... and I remember when you could drive on it at daylight and not see anyone on that 2mi straight.

 

I remember when bruce b downs was a dirt road. lol

 

^what were you 3?

 

Stock mustang GTs are pathetic when it comes to performance.

 

haha i actually was, thats when i moved here

 

Take it to the track!

 

+1

I don't think matty was talking about the smoke. Even with leaky turbos your car should pull harder than that.

I'd say you are about 200 RWHP right now.

Nice video BTW

 

^^ 200rwhp is around stock right? I should be getting a new engine soon.

 

225-230 RWHP is what a good healthy STOCK FD is at. Note: stock as it came from the factory no dp, no nothing.

What makes you think it's your engine? is your compression low?

Several things can make you run low on power:
Problems with the turbo system itself (vacuum hoses, solenoids, boost leaks)
Tired turbos
low engine compression


Just so you know: on the PFC don't read the peak boost look at the boost as you are WOT. There is a small spike in boost that digital devices record but if you are monitoring in real time, you never see it because it is so quick that it's actually meaningless.

I have a greedy boost controller, a PFC, and a boost gauge which they all monitor boost. IF I WOT and set my boost to 10 psi: I see the mechanical needle go to 10 and stay there, also if I monitor the boost with the PFC and the boost controller (it has a digital readout) I basically see a stable 10 psi (yes the PFC does not match but let's say that it does). But if I go back and look at the saved peak boost on both devices it shows that I hit a peak of 12 psi... Which i never saw in any of my 3 real time monitoring devices.

 

Theres a few reasons why i think my engine is going. The boost issue being one of them. Car idles extremely hard, sometimes shuts off and wont turn back on, white smoke coming out of exhaust, and it has over 80 thousand miles on it. I know the engine is going to need to be rebuilt soon and i cant afford to keep fixing minor problems so i think im just going to go ahead and get it rebuilt.

 

bruce b downs...i been there. if i remember ima pm you guys next time i head down there.
