NOS...its a beautiful thing

years of Nitrous tuning for sure!!!

 

went to the track to do some more testing. driver and owner Trevor is having a real hard time getting the launch correct. we were able to get 1 run before it started to rain.

details of that 1 run..

10.5@132.79mph

Rx7 improves 1 tenth and 2 mph but car has tons more in it.. taking baby steps here, but I gotta be patient with the rookie driver..

 

We need vid!!!!! And yank the driver and get behind the wheel and show him how it's done.

 

NICE TIMES Ito!! im lookin for video as well/ you gonna get that thing to e town for summer slam?

 

yes..

 

"has been on a diet.( no interior and plastic windows) but still a somewhat heavy car."

o k so i will ask the question since no one else did.

what does the car weigh?

 

Once again, good job Ito... See you at summer slam

 

WOW, howard how di you end up in here? took a wrong turn somewhere

 

i am not sure of the weight. car will be at englishtown this weekend. i'll have the car hit the scale.

 

Nice job!

 

Power in a bottle..

Great work...

 

Do you mind telling us excatly how much Nitrous you are using on this motor? It is in stages?

 

225hp one stage

 

BALLIN!!!!!!

I would be scared to launch WOT!!!

 

update on this car. today friday 8-14-09 at atco raceway, improves to 10.10@135mph car had some wheel spin off the launch hendering the 60ft a little. to be continue..

 

a reminder, this rx7 is still running the factory rear with the factory gear ratios.

 

Congrats Ito, i would have loved to have seen that!!!

 

yes allen, plus i'm not sure if you remember seeing the red starlet at the pan am's with the 3tc toyota engine. called "La Karioka" ran 7.9 yesterday. getting them back into the swing of things..

 

WoW! Congrats Judge! I understand your reserves about sharing info here, but are you using an S5 rotating assembly with the N20? Unbelievable what you're getting out of it.

 

Congrats Ito, but still............ WE NEED VID!
You're always bustin my ***** for vid, so I have to bust yours.

 

unless i misses the answer... carbed or fuel injected? what style port?

 

I sure do! It still amazes me that they can get so much power out of those antiquated pushrod motors!!! I am gonna have some big shoes to fill when i get my car up here!

 

p port on a webber

 

Speaking of "antiquated" pushrod engines. We went to the USAC show at Salem, IN last night. The 140 ci 4-cylinder Toyota midget engine is putting down around 340 hp while revving to around 9500. It ain't no DOHC Toyota either. Basically a Cup engine cut in half and destroked. Two valves, cam in the block, and pushrods. Things sound amazing at full song. Only downside? Around $54k for an unassembled engine kit and has a life to rebuild of 4 races.

 

today at the northeast tuner @ atco raceway Rx7 improves to a solid 10.0@136mph with a 1.4 60ft mark..
