After blowing up the modified intake manifold he went back to a stock FD intake manifold and made around 750rwhp at 30psi. Not bad for a first time tuning with alcohol. Poncho is heading down to Houston for the IFO this weekend so crossing my fingers

 

Nice! How about a little info on the car.

stock rew inlet?
any graphs?

 

Sweet, good luck at IFC. I'll be there to cheer him on.

 

Went to a local track the rx2 ran 9.11 in 1/4 mile letting off on the 1/8 mile. Still trying to get the car to hook up. More update coming soon.

 

WOW, how much does the car weigh? This may be an indication of how my car is going to perform

 

Around 2400lb. This is the third run he made with this setup so once everything is set the car is capable of really low 8's to high 7's.

So when is your car going to be done? I can't wait to see your time run.

 

I can't wait either. The only thing holding me back now is the trans, everything else is good for 1000+ hp. I will be finishing up the wiring soon then it's off to Miami for a cleanup on the tune for the new turbo and ECM. When i get it back i still have to get new belts, chassis cert, license ect. I am thinking late May to early June. I would like to have everything sorted out for the pan-ams!

What transmission is Poncho running? Were the passes he made at 30 psi?

 

What are you doing with your Dough nash tranny?

Very nice Rx2 BTW, can't wait to see that thing go!

 

He's running a Liberty 5 speed clutchless the boost was at 32psi.

 

Ok alittle update Poncho car made 992rwhp at 50psi on a stock FD intake manifold

 

50! What turbo? Methanol?

 

DANG!

 

I think Meth. When I last seen the car in Houston he had a 55 gallon drum of it on the truck.

 

BW 80mm and yes Methanol. The tuner(Eric) was shock cause his car made around 920rwhp with custom manifold w/88mm turbo and he ran 7.5. So who said stock fd manifold suck?

Also Nelson's rx3 made little over 900rwhp at 45psi with a BW 75mm turbo

 

Yes Methanol but as for the drum on the truck it was diesel fuel

 

Congrats guys, if you can get the power down it's gonna be sick!

 

Planning on going to Wichita for the Importfaceoff tomorrow.

Eric said the tune is still alittle rich and we still got another 10psi left on the microtech

 

Get some video, i would love to see his car!

 

That's the plan for me not taking my 3rotor FC to race because I wanted to get alot of video of this car. Will get some video tomorrow at the track.

Thanks for the kinda words.

 

this is just awesome stuff to hear , will be looking forward to the vids

 

We the car is having a hard time getting thee power to the ground with the 10.5 tires.

 

I bet it is! Any decent runs yet?

 

It went 8.28 @169 with a 1.38 60ft
Going to make another run before call it a day
