Yea my friend with the ZR-1 got called out by him. We drove 1 hour to meet up and race him. It was liked the car super bowl every area was talking about it! It was pretty sick just watch the race go down. I was right behind them "not in my car tho" The owner of the spool bus knew my car, he saw it at a few roll events he told me my car was legit HAHA!

 

bad ***!

 

Ahh. I have seen the spool bus! I love these creative names!

 

been following your build and watched almost all of your youtube video's. Gotta say SICK CAR!! I'm in the middle of my 2.4lr you still running the cometic head gasket I've head it has problems but I'm hoping it was because people didn't mill the head. What's your thoughts?

 

Use the cosworth FSL.

Steve went to a track rental today and went just about 144 but not quite. It was his first time using Hoosier QTP's so he couldn't get anything better then a 10.3

I'll let him post the slips when he wants to share.

 

Here is a quick vid i threw together. Footage was taken from a friend video taping the event.


The time slip at the end shows me going .2 quicker one pass. My vacuum line blew off my BOV lost all boost and aborted the run. I will be going back to the track with better prep and warmer weather in about 3 weeks!

This was my first time using QTP's and still figuring them out. The good thing is i was getting better 60ft's every pass so I'm learning!

Theses passes were at 35 PSI i plan on running 38-40 later this season. CAR IS FULL WEIGHT with the wing still! Overall very happy with the car, i drove it to and from the track 1 hour each way.

 

That last launch was sweet! Looked like a 9 sec pass to me!

 

prolly felt like one too!

 

get back to the track for a solid pass! def some 9 sec slips to be had.

 

There's definitely more track performance hiding in this car. Steve ran his buddies modded 07 Kawasaki ninja ZX-10R over the weekend and pulled on him pretty hard. Thats a 10.01 @ 150 bike from the factory with a pro rider.

I gave Steve crap for missing 4th like that in the vid, but he said he genuinely got locked out. Maybe that would have been the single digit pass. maybe not. who knows.

 

Vid is up on my youtube channel almost 2k views of that race in 24 hours! I was amazed my car ran that well vs it, I wasn't expecting that outcome!


Yea and that last pass I think I didn't push the cluch in enough and took it too 8.4k in 3rd it got pissed off I think ha

 

lol, just watched the newer video. Looked like the damn turnpike

 

haha!

 

Maybe 500RPM is my guess. It really comes down to the cams, and the intake manifold, and the mods in general. They all affect spool. Of course displacement has the most affect though.

I cant really answer this, but i will say this.

Going from my old setup, 2.3L Fp black ams f1i intake mani, 70mm tb, toxicfab tubular mani, s3, etc etc.

and now this 2.4, 6466, s3, map rev3 intake mani, 70mm tb, 4.11 final drive vs before it was a stock final drive.

I can honestly say the 6466 setup responds the same if not more snappier then the fp black setup did. The car will catch anyone off guard that isnt read for it.

Im not sure how Steves is vs mine, but Steve did tell me he noticed less response in general vs the fp black. He can definitely tell he has a bigger turbo anotherwords.

So in that regard its pretty noticeable. But basing it off my car i am actually kind of shocked by how responsive it is for being such a huge turbo.

Damn you all but pegged this car down without even seeing it run. you were right on the money!

If anyone else has any questions or needs to know anything let me know. Sorry I didn't skim through this thread until a few days ago on my phone and realized i had left things unanswered. If I missed anyone i apologize and just re-ask the q'.

 

9 sec pass for sure on the last run
