We literlary threw this motor back together with a bunch of used parts that we had laying around the shop. hell the oil pump was assembled from good parts from 3 bad/old oil pumps lolol. I did not want to put any money into it because I am going to be putting a 3.7L in it as soon as Ross finished the pistons. I was hoping to maybe get 2 or 3 passes out of it, but I got 6 and the motor is still running fine! Time ships 1st pass big time bog 60ft 1.907 1/8 mile ET 7.331 1/8 mile MPH 108.54 1/4 mile ET 10.761 1/4 MPH 146.49 2nd pass ok out of the hole but I think I short shifted 2nd and the car lagged a bit. 60ft 1.657 1/8 mile ET 6.800 1/8 mile mph 111.44 mph 1/4 mile ET 10.179 1/4 mile MPH 148.69 3rd pass cant find the time slip right now, must be in the car still but it was 10.20@150mph I'll put in the details when I find the slip. (crappy 60ft) pass # 4 everything about this pass was prity good. The car spun allot (you can see in the vid), other then that it went prity dang good. 60ft 1.603 1/8 mile ET 6.439 1/8 mile MPH 115.55 1/4 mile ET 9.736 1/4 mile MPH 151.39 pass #5 Missed 3rd bad (this tranny was a 5spd that had bin sitting in my storage unit for like the past 5 yrs, we took it out of a guys 93 it was his original 5spd, it had a crack in the housing and was leaking looked like something hit it, and was hard to get into 3rd, he bought a new tranny from Kormex and we put it in, and I bought this tranny from him with plans of fixing it, and never did till now. We fixed the crack with JB weld, put a welded center dif in it, and put in it my car. It does not even have a front LSD. The car really has got to be muscled into 3rd) 60ft 1.675 1/8 mile ET 6.930 1/8 mile mph 87.44 1/4 mile ET 13.234 1/4 mile MPH 63.02 pass # 5 car started sputtering realy bad at the top of 2nd and 3rd. plugs are going south. #9 heat range, thy dont last long under these power levels. 60ft 1.649 1/8 mile ET 6.551 1/8 mile MPH 113.14 1/4 mile ET 9.909 1/4 mile MPH 149.78 Pass #6 turned the boost down 2%, let the tires down to 23psi.. this is going to be the last pass track is closing. It's ok to brake the T-case now lol. did not lounch high enuf, car bogged bad, then I missed 3rd again. 60ft 1.782 1/8 mile ET 7.308 1/8 mile MPH 83.52 1/4 mile ET 12.982 1/4 mile MPH 72.16 To say the least I am very happy! next I'm going to put in new plugs, pull the tranny fix 3rd gear, and put in a front LSD (the one out of my 6spd I guess) Originally Posted by SnakeSkinner the car has a Turbo BOB 8800 RPM ECU (i think the only 8800 ECU he has ever done. But I don’t know how acruet that is. on the cars stock Tach it's hitting the rev limiter slightly over 9000rpm.) 3rd gear, 5spd. Quick Mod list DR stage 3 heads DR little bitty street cams Cam gears DBB DR-1000 turbos ARC-2 720's Twin pump Really Old FMIC with a 2.75" thick tube & fin core (got to get something bigger in there) ATR down pipe Turbo Bob ECU RPS carbon/carbon suporting mods everything that’s on this car cam be ordered off my web page, that even goes for the OEM short block.... (well ok I will not sell oil pumps assembled from 3 broken or bard pumps lolol) PS for those that love to pick on piggy backs, and say cars cant be tuned with them and with out a wide band. Not only does this car have a piggy back, but the car or motor has NEVER had a wide band on it. Not even it the other car when I dynoed it, thy were missing something from there Wide band for the dyno so thy could not run it. Like I always say, "those who say it cant be done, are usually interrupted by those that are doing it" Vid:http://www.racingsouthwest.com/~buffhomer/matt973.wmv Congrats to 3000GT/VR4 comminuty!! |
WOW, this is a surprise, I thought the fastest 3000gt was from Dynamic racing which recently ran a 10.5 1/4 sec.
The 3.7l is mostlikely a stroked version of the Mitsubishi Montero 3.5L , some 3000/Stealth are using this block now then as a replacement for the 3.0l. Carlos |
Dang, that thing scoots.
