it happens to all of us its our man rag

 

I herd theres 2 New wheels in development for the 42R, is that what you are talking about??

 

You heard or you read/been spying on the other forum!

The turbo is called a GT4208R.
It's only available as a dual ball bearing unit because of the intended use of this turbo and yes it's not cheap!
The other one in the gt42 line up is the billet 71mm compressor wheel flowing 91lbs or 900hp +.
Based on other billet compressor's performance I would say that power output is on the conservative side.

 

Looking GOOD!

Soon you will be talking about doing 8s

 

Thanks Cris, I just made the call.

 

Is the tranny solid mounted??? it sort of looks like it is from the pic....thats ok ONLY if the engine is also...just wanted to throw that out there for you.
Greg

 

Yes everything is solid mounted.

 

All of the above
I wouldn't call it spying, you forgot Im working that 2.3l project

 

You'll learn right away that the drag racing forum is full of smart asses and guys who give answers in riddles.

 

good stuff.....just trying to help out.
Greg

 

Brought the car back home last night. I have a track rental this Monday @ MIR so I will get some nice seat time. I'll will keep you guys posted.

 

any last minute spots open in that rental ernie??

 

DJ, we're having another one at island in november. let me know if you're intrested

 

Actually yes. $100 at the gate.

 

Cris,
how does this compare to the similar sized BW units. In the past the BW's have out flowed the Garrett units. Do you know what we can expect from this GT4208R unit?

-J

 

I will let you know after next week for me. I should get mine then and it "should" bolt on my existing manifold.

 

good luck tomorow ernie! i'm looking forward to lots of vids

 

good luck ernie.. run some #'s man

 

He better do because Anthony is slowly creeping up on his time!

Good luck at the track Ernie.

 

Looks like Anthony will be handing me my ****! My day started out slow and got bettter, then got real bad.
The G-Force is great. My first gear is longer than stock so its taking some gettting used to, riding it out longer so it doesn't bog in 2nd gear. My 60' times are money. All 7 passes today in the low 1.4's. On the last run my oil filler neck came apart at about 140mph and it blew oil on my windshield through my vented hood. I knew at that point, something was wrong so I shut the car down and coasted to a stop. Then the smoke started to bellow out under the hood. I almost **** myself trying to get out of the car. I keep a fire extinguisher in the car, (thank god), and popped the hood. I got it out before any flames started to cook anything. Got it back to the pits, cleaned it up. All seems well. So I will install a NEW filler neck, lol. That one was jb welded. Not a good idea, hindsight being 20/20.

 

Congrats, how was the shifting? Good to hear you didn't burn it down.

 

Glad you are OK

Now what did it run???

 

Ernie
Thank god you're ok. That's a very dangerous situation that normally never end well. Trust me I've been in the same position at 150mph.
Get her repaired and back to the track.

 

My first 4 passes I just practiced launching and my first to second shifts. No full runs.
My last few passes I running mid 10's on and off the throttle. If Im not in boost the whole time, my *** end comes up and then the turbo hits, getting me squirrly.

Thanks Cris.

 

Be careful Ernie that things getting bad to the bone.

And looking fun as hell good luck!
