On the mivec head i would run stock gap which i forgot what it was from out of the box. Now since on the 8 head i am running i believe 22 thousand or around there. I dont remember since there's been so much going on with the car lol. Devin just threw a new set in for me when the car was at the shop for the trans. Maybe he will chime in or ill get a correct answer for you Jerry

Car is nuts man, when i did that 2nd gear pull it was crazy. Spinning my Drag radials like it was nothing. Next time out ill do 2nd to 4th or maybe a 3rd and 4th so i dont spin Car is a beast, cant wait for the track day soon!

 

Congrats Joey! Some great power, now get to the track!

-Collin

 

Thanks Collin! Track day coming up shortly, stay tuned!

 

Joey can't wait to see the look on the faces of the big boy V8's. All they're gonna see is taillights and then a chute

 

wow car sounds like a beast, wish i had the cash to pursue a build like this...

 

Chris- Cant wait either man, there going to be surprised by this little 4 cylinder

Thanks man, it took awhile too get the car here and they sure are money pits. Hopefully i have a solid year and free of a lot of headaches.

UPDATE!!

I ordered my Simpson shute yesterday and it will be here late today or tomorrow. Ill snap some pics of it when it comes in Monday morning I am dropping the car off at the chassis shop and they will have it all next week. Right when i get it back, putting the new slicks on the car, with the shute and painting the interior. A couple more weeks then were off to the track. I cant wait, stay tuned for pics of the Cage!

 

Here's a quick pic of the Shute that just arrived today. Its just a quick phone pic, will have more pics to come when on the car along with the cage next week

 

I thought I would chim in, I hope you dont mind Joey.

On E98 we would not have enough fuel, but joeys on E85. I started to mix 100 oct with my E98 to make E85 for this same reason with my car last year.

IDC were around 86% ish max from what I remember.

It a -8 from the filter on the Buschur daul pumper to the fuel rail. Joeys car is safe when it comes to the AFR's. It never tappered lean or showed any signs of being out of fuel. But with that power level and IDC at 86%, we cant be that far away.

Last year we ran joeys car in 4th on the dyno because it would just spin in 3rd. Last year it made 777 in 4th. I didnt have to use 4th with the 4.11 Trans, and the 851 WHP was in 3rd.

Thanks

^ Thanks Devin for the info, I knew there was some stuff i was leaving out lol.

Car is going to the chassis shop Monday morning. I am picking up the trailer tomorrow night and getting the Junk Box ready. It will be there all week and the plan is to pick it up Saturday or Monday. Cant wait to see it when its done and excited to bring it back to the house to paint the interior. Almost ready for the track guys, a couple more weeks!!

 

UPDATE!!!

Just dropped the car off at the chassis shop this morning. It will be there for the week and i am pick it up early to mid next week. After i pick it up, its going right back to my house for interior painting. After that, if weather cooperates ill have it out to the track next weekend! Stay tuned everyone!

 

Good updates!

I am interested to see how your cage comes out. Wait till you get to pack that shute for the first time. We just put one on a 1g and man the spring that holds the pilot shut is pretty tough haha. We had to put some *** behind it to get it all back in.

 

Yea I'm anxious to see how the cage turns out as well. Right when it's done I'll post some pictures of it but I'm pretty stoked. I guess it was time for some safety equipment lol. I heard packing the Shute is a PITA. But Devin and Kritin has been doing it for awhile and there going to show me and my buddies. Will see how it goes

 

First off, just read this entire thread and this build is just beautiful! Looks like our setups may be quite similar.. Dropping my car off at Toxic Fab in a few months to get a few things done. I do have a question for you though.. I noticed on the STM 6766 kit their graph shows the turbo spooling around 4-5k but yours is 5-6k. Is that due to maybe a larger hotside, tuning or the FF manifold? Just curious.. Either way I'm still going with the 6766!

Good luck shooting for 8s man and keep it up!

 

Thanks man, i appreciate the kinds words. About the spool up, i honestly dont know why my car spools up a little later then STM. I am running the Toxic Fab FF manifold and running a tial v band .82 AR. My motor is a 10:5:1 compression 2.0. Devin @ Boostin may chime in about the spool, but i dont think tuning has something to do with it.

When i drove the car on the street and did a couple pulls, the spool didnt feel that bad. Car just simply rips and spins all 4 on my drag radials Picking up the car mid week from the chassis shop then the painting of the interior begins. Stay tuned for pics

 

Remember spool up goes hand and hand with when the dyno pull was started.
