Just got back from the E-town.......

All runs on Nitto drags and still stock twins with ported motor.

1= 11.866 @125.03 mph....2.184 60ft

2= 11.827 @ 123.11 mph...1.987 60ft

3= 11.348 @ 125.01 mph...1.705 60ft !!!!!!!!!!!

talk about traction on that last run !!!!!!

For those wondering....
Ported motor w/ stock seals, stock twins, Greddy 3 row, PowerFC, Greddy PE cat-back.......all the bolt ons

Now I'm ready to run 10's on ET streets:-)

 

Nice Job Boostn7!!

I think I have a turbo going, and although a single setup cleans the bay up a bit and increases reliability, something just wants me to stay wih some upgraded twins.

 

Damn, that is fast. You made 402 rwhp on the Dyno? You must be running an *** load of boost. My buddy has a the same setup as you. Ported motor, all the bolt-ons and he made 353 rwhp. I would like to see a video of your run if you have one, or maybe a dyno chart. What was the temp and elevation?

 

Those are some sweet *** numbers!

 

Good job JD! You got the tuning down pat..

i knew it was coming! congrats

 

not bad...stock twins is gettin sumwhere now..

 

Nice times there man. I always love it seeing a FD on the stock twins do mid 11s.

 

fdeeznutz : The 402 rwh was on stock motor (50k miles) and stock turbos......motor has been ported since begining of year.
"*** load of boost"....well....for pump gas yes I'm am....I get close to 18psi when full boost hits and then drops off to 1.10kg/cm2 on PFC(16.5psi) at higher rpm in 2nd,3rd and 4th gear.
So tonight, I decided to shift early (~7200rpm vs 7500+) and it worked out.

the first 2 runs were taped......but camera guy left before my 3rd pass !!!
I will scan slips and post them.

 

Congrats man . Your rex is definitely a freak of nature......

 

nice #'s

 

Nice man, that's really really fast! Gives me hope of doing the same now!

 

congrats John!

 

Thats Badass, good runs

 

Did you switch to 4.33s?

 

Badass dude

Go borrow some slicks cause I want a 10 sec slip from you before the end of the year!

 

Thanks guys

Gearing is still the OEM 4.10:1 with Turbo II guts.
I've meaning to drop 4:30's in but after running 123mph on ET streets I figured on Nittos it should run another ~2mph.
Since boost drops at higher rpm I shifted @ ~7200-7300rpm to maintain atleast 17psi.....and it worked.

I only removed the spare tire.......total weight of car w/ myself was 2895.....usually ~2920 w/ spare depending amount of gas.

 

the guy behind the wheel and whole buildup of the car is the reason it runs so well! the car is not a freak. its just called knowing what you are doing !!!

his car with stock twins has been faster than my T78 for a while now !

 

Not to take away anything from your accomplishment, but Kevin Wyum ran a 10.9x @ 125.xx on stock twins also. In 1996.

 

Nice numbers and nice driving! Wish I coulda been there to see that.

 

Sorry, I should have specified that I was supporting Vosko's statement that the car is not a freak and that "knowing what you're doing" has everything to do with wringing the last bit of performance out of a car.

Congratulations!

 

Thanks Vosko and Jimlab.....

*BUT*
Kevin's car had upgraded twins (Turbonetics, I believe), custom gears (higher then 4.30's) and also in a serious diet....alot less then the ~ 2900lbs my car weights in and never mind the race gas.............

But .....regardless!!! it was an accomplishment back then which I still respect.
Other person which menaged awesome #s w/the twins was Anthony from NY.

I will run the car soon on ET streets and 10's WILL HAPPEN !!!!

Remember I drive the car everyday as it ran.....maybe pushing my luck with the Sunoco 94......but knock numbers are low on the PowerFC.

 

i was there and saw the first two runs, wish i woulda stayed for the 3rd, but the wait was too long

i was talkin to you for a little bit, butthen you popped your hood and 30 people came over so i figured id just back away.

sweet *** car and sweet numbers!!!

 

Stock twins, non-sequential, but he may have had the wheels clipped. You have to remember that no one made upgraded twins back then.

4.70s, I believe he said. You'd need them with a taller tire. He was running P305 M&H Racemasters, if memory serves.

You ran 17 psi on pump gas?

Kevin was pushing 17-18 psi on 110, I believe.

You've got the trap speed, it's probably only a matter of traction and time at this point. Good luck!

 

and not breaking any more trannies

i saw that car when it was running 13's stock !!! he does it drive it everyday. if you think this car is fast wait for his other FD !
