Buschur 8 sec pass VIDEO!!!
Thanks for all the compliments guys.
The car is running a standard bore 2 liter. The engine is 100% exactly what we build and sell for customers everyday. NOTHING extra, NOTHING different. This was a brand new block we started with, didn't even bore this one, touch honed for clearance for the forged pistons, Crower rods, standard 2.0 EVO crank. Just great machine work and assembly.
Daniel hit the rev limiter on two of the runs before he got to the end of the track. I was so busy helping customers I forgot to raise it. For what it's worth it is set at 10,000 rpm and we are hitting it in 4th gear before the car crosses the finish line.
The transmission is a stock EVO transmission that Daniel rebuilt. Transfer case is a stock RS unit. Rear end is stock, driveshaft is stock, front axles are stock. Only driveline mod is a set of Driveshaft shop Stage 5 axles. The car has to be way over due to break something. This car has yet to break a driveline part.
Also note worthy in all this is the fact that we have not tried to make a really fast EVO until this year. If you all remember since the EVO was released we have been saying it was too good of a car to hack one up, put small breaks on and take away the great suspension just to ruin and make a drag EVO out of. Well, seeing that the mentality has been proven that whoever is fastest is getting the most respect we decided it was time to finally do something about it this year and just build a car for the strip. Last fall we parked this car with a full interior, dash, stock EVO brakes, GT35R, radio, headliner etc. A real street car, it was running 10.12 at 141 mph. We brought it to the Mitsubishi VS Subaru Shootout in June in this same trim with the exception of lighter front brakes and the GT42R, we ran 9.60 and made 10 passes that day to show it was consistent, fast and reliable. After the race and watching AMS run the incredible time of 9.1 we decided the hell with it and that Monday started building a real race EVO. We dropped removed the interior, gutted three of the doors, put lexan windows in it and got serious. The next week we ran 9.4, then a week later 9.2, a week or so later 9.05 and now dropped it to 8.95.
I know AMS is going 8's for those of you that keep bringing it up. One of us was going to be the first to get there, it was just a matter of when, where and who. Had it been them I'd have been happy for them, great guys. I am glad it was us though.
Something else to remember, 5 years ago I was running 7.8's on a stock computer and a VPC. Some of you don't know it, some of you want to forget it and some of you could care less but we have been down this road already a long time ago. We just didn't want to travel down it with the EVO. Now that we have I have to admit this is the absolute best race car we have ever had. It is the most reliable, consistent and durable.
It is extremely easy to go fast now-a-days. Just pay the bill and you can go as fast as you want. The technology and engine management makes it a breeze now, doing 7's at 175 mph with a stock computer and a piggy back was a bish.
Our car, I feel is good for atleast 8.60's the way it sits right now. We have more suspension work to do. Quite a bit of weight that should come out and Daniel gets faster every time he drives the car. We are NOT power shifting, he is off the gas every shift and shift recovery without nitrous with this big turbo is slow, .9 seconds to recover between gears. What that means is if he has 40 psi in 1st gear, he lifts off the gas, shifts and it takes .9 seconds for it to reach 40 psi again. That means for atleast 2.7 seconds of the pass the car isn't near full power potential. Think of that.
The car that won the Q16 was Marco from Magnus. Not taking anything away from him or the car but to put it into perspective the car weighs 2190 with driver, is running alcohol and a dog box trans, he ran an 8.73 at around 160 mph. The car was dead on for the shootout and ran perfectly. Happy for him but just putting the point across where it all goes and ends up to keep going faster.
Hopefully we stay motivated and keep working on going faster. It's good for all of us. It will be tough to stay ahead of the guys at AMS and I would guess the record is going to change hands back and forth between us like a basketball.

AMS is managing to no lift shift their car, Eric is a freaking great driver. The few attempts we have made were hit or miss, sometimes it goes to gear sometimes it doesn't. We decided it was better to be consistently fast than waste passes missing gears. We need to do something to keep from breaking power 3 times during a run and being without peak boost for 2.7 seconds. There is a TON of time just in no lift shifting with a turbo this size.
I have spoken with John Shepherd about doing a dog box for us but I cannot honestly justify the cost of it. They are quite a bit of money and the bad part is I can only imagine when they break they are just about as expensive to fix, this would make racing the car much more expensive than it is doing it on a stock trans. Time will tell, I'd love to have one but we aren't made of money anymore than any of you are.

No one can take the first to hit the 8's from you and your team. Impressive to say the least
and it was History for the Evo.
