bad *** car!!!

this thread is like watching a movie and at the very end before you find out if the guy dies the dvd started skipping, got all the way to the end and it was like doh!!!. good luck with it man, this is one crazy a$$ car!!!

 

I've got some short film of it on the dyno, unfortunatly, it is from the earlier lower power pulls.

I can post it if 1) I get the owners permission and 2) someone can host it.

EDIT: now that I think about it, my vid is pointless. Wait till someone gets it on tape going down the track.

 

It seems like this car has taken forever to be put together, now it all seems worth it, 10's without insane spool up issues, sign me up, minus the price tag.

nice!!!
lets see some vids

 

I agree. It's taken awhile but after driving it last night it's been worth the wait. The engineering that's gone into this system has been insane. Kudos to Bert Arano from Union 7! The car has never been run hard before and I've never driven it but was able to hit back to back 10's without a single driveability issue. That's impressive engineering and tuning! Twin charging has been done before but never with the intent to make big HP.

I can't explain how hard this car pulls from from the start whether on the track or road. It does not feel like a typical big turbo 4 banger. The power curve is amazing as you'll see when I post dyno sheets. Hopefully we'll see another 100+ whp after Thursday's dyno session.

 

I was hoping that it was a nightime appt.

Where is the car going after the dyno??

 

everyone local , i'm doing the post-abuse inspection now, in the next few days there is the possibility that i can take you for a spin, and maybe we will drag it again soon, depending on the dyno session tomorrow etc

i'll let you know

 

lets see som vids. good job!

 

Cecil County on Friday???

 

I don't like your attitude

When does this thing leave West Chester for greener pastures in CO? Are you around Friday - love to see the car again (go for a ride - sorry Mr. Egan)?

We need to talk about my Ohlins and Cornerweighting & Balancing??

The dyno appt is canceled for tomorrow. We're going to change the rod bearings and do some minor maintanence work as a precaution before we finish the tuning.

The car should be in Denver sometime in April.

 

Nice car!! I was the guy in the lanes right next to you with the MR.. I took some pics of your car I will post up when I get home from work. Like I said before, your car is VERY unique..Nice to meet you.

 

^That was a great looking MR. Thanks for offering to post some pics.

 

you have to post a inside pic . lol just even more sick looking. and total have to call me when ya want to do weight reductions. im playing on making my evo 2500lb.

 

This is a fantabolous project. Read the whole thread in one gulp. Very well done!!!

I'm also bulding a twincharged setup on my 1.6 Honda (not all Honda owners are narrowminded idiots), though on a VERY limited budget. At the moment car is supercharged with a 1.3 liter Opcon SC, engine is built, am now hoping to get my hands on a cheapish T04E or T04B which should take it t 400 hp, maybe more.

In the last year and a half I've read everything I could find about twincharged engines, talked to people who have done it, and I'm absolutely itching to know whether your valve system is fully pneumatic or if it uses actuators of some sort. And if it uses actuators, what kind...

For my setup, I'd love to do a fully pneumatic system (air pressure difference and vacuum alone will open and close the valve-no controllers to worry about, very smooth transition from turbo to sc, ease of tuning); I've yet to find the right valve though. Not easy to find, and may have to be custom made.
Or else, if actuators it needs be, I would do it through the Ecu as variables f rpm and boost, again for smothness of operation.

If you care to share any part of your valve system, any hint that'll help me figure out a solution, I would be so very grateful.
