    Some cool pics from day

    Finally got around to post Drag day check over, all in all this thing took an absolute hiding seems to come off relatively unhurt. The good things- Lifter tick went away It survived having the boost at 9psi The driveline liked the mods done in PCM, all of that worked it shifted well and trans didn't get hot- i should probably service it now. New to me adjustable rear shocks worked but I need to figure out how to set them up better. The bad things- The TPS has jammed itself at 100% so i need to investigate that, i wouldn't mind betting the solder where i extended the wiring loom has let go with the massive under bonnet temps when beating the snot out of it Wheel spin, I struggled to do much on day other than drive through it till it found grip. With the helmet on i couldn't hear the engine at all so maybe some more gauges (yuck) might help give me some cues. Massive manifold leak on drivers side, It could be crack or in need of machining flat. Rust under paint in rear guard, the paint in general is a bit shit now having lived outside for 5 years with me. It does get a little hot like 6/10's on dash if you beat on it repeatedly but it can shed the heat really quickly. Plan for new year is to sort the above things, and also move towards getting the cert done fit hoops to driveshaft etc and a smaller intercooler so I can fit a stock crash bar. New radiator is probably a good idea and also an oil cooler would be good to help keep the oil alive. I also need to plumb in water cooling on turbo. I'm going to fit a VK reverse cowl scoop to help with under bonnet temps and go nuts with more heat wrap, I'll paint that at same time as most of car will try do that during summer just get it nice again. I need to decide if I'm going lower or higher and if I want to fit my set of wide wheels and pump the guards. Or just throw money at it and get some Simmons in the sizes and offset I want to fit the with tyres I'd like. Decisions...... then there's building a new engine however I am pretty happy with power as is so I can scale that back to a less expensive build with just ARP fasteners and new pistons in my l67 block that will see it too 500hp if i want to go there.

    Reading all the above the high stall could probably wait but a diff gear change and LSD is probably a less invasive and better value mod. A 13 should be easy if i can get some practice at night speed wars or something. Shit it was so tempting to give the boost controller a few more clicks but the temperature gauge was starting to move if I hotlapped it. At least the Transmission shift points and pressures I set worked mint spinning it to 6400rpm helped too.

    They were cheap with lots of life so that's why I ran them as I've got BRIDGESTONE RE003 on rear for street and didn't want to scuff those up, I'll keep an eye out for some proper drag slicks. I did a 14.6 @98mph on the Road tyres as my first run just see how everything performed I'm 100% blaming the driver he's a bit shit. Was fun to not lose every race though.

    Ran numbers through an online calculator that takes weight barometric pressure and the run 1/4 mile information and it comes out with a Horsepower number of 245-260 depending on the various calculations out there. Not sure if that at wheels or crank as they are all quite vague. Still it's more than the 200hp ish stock.

    https://hoosiertiregp.com/hoosier-circuit-racing-d-o-t-radial-p235-35z-r19-r7-46916r7/ Not a drag slick but should have been better than road tyres. Think I'll take Cletus advice and find some 15" soft side wall proper drag tyres if im going back. 60 foot times were in the 2.3's the lack of initial power then as soon as it spooled up wheel spin didn't help. 90% shit driver

    May have had more luck on my street tyres but been a taller sidewall it would put way more load on everything and i was worried about breaking the Transmission. I'm dead keen to give roll racing a go as it would be in its element as is. From the drive to and from the track towing, What a tow rig! My trailer isn't big but it's bloody heavy and tall engine just cruises along boost is there as you need it without the trans changing down. I did my fastest run of day with 2x 12" subs in the boot and the spare tyre and took a bite out of my toasted sandwich from Pokeno bacon on return road after the run and that's the best part of day for me. Second best part of day is people bloody loved it in the pits, nothing but positive comments from people with cars i thought were way more impressive.

    I think my biggest issue was with the helmet on i couldn't hear the engine as im quite deaf anyway and I couldn't look at the dash as it wanted to squirm around. Real weird power delivery nothing for 500rpm then everything all at once if I had all the power It feels like I could peddle it better. It makes 5psi at 2000rpm but 10psi at 2600rpm.

    Have spoken with him (louni) and got put on to another guy who builds drag transmissions. Was a while back so might be one of those contacts that has disappeared in Facebook. Anyway that's the next step whoever does the work for me the high stall should help driveablity. Maybe I don't know how to drive on slicks.

    Sent it on 9-10 psi all day I wish i took my 275's as the slicks were still quite skatey when it came up on boost first run it felt like it spun for ever. As soon as i turned it up it blew the drivers manifold gasket didn't hurt times but it sounded bit shit. Still best fun ever in a $600 dollar car I've had. So much potential for more power too I just got chicken and wanted to get car home running but took 3 passengers so everyone was happy. Favourite Photo taken By Roman Dave.

    I've found a well known home workshop dude that'll do one for about $350 providing i pull it out he's got plenty of work out there so good feedback so can't go wrong for price. I found it better to just stab it off line to load up trans and turbo kind of worked bit of lag. I have a setup that should work like Nitrous Oxide but needs some experiments to see how it goes.

    My Personal drag challenge went Well I smoked almost everything I raced today the one race I lost was to a beautiful mustang track car i forgot I was in 2nd after burnouts so hit the 6400rpm rev limiter going through traps. Now has a horrible exhaust leak but seems unscathed otherwise even after towing a heavy trailer there and back. Didn't crack a 13 second but over moon regardless, needs a high stall for transmission to get much faster as its now scrambling for traction even with slicks.
  14. Muncie
    14.1 something at 100mph plus best of day I've taken subs out and will run a couple more runs at same boost see if im able to crack a 13. Did 14.6 as is full street mode after taking trailer off bacon and egg sandwich on passenger seat. Took a bit to soften up drag slicks. Got an exhaust leak but whatever it doesn't seem to effect it much
  15. Muncie
    I appreciate everything about how to suck eggs suspension wise, completely new having adjustable stuff.......im used to just cutting springs.
  16. Muncie
    It doesn't bounce at all ! I thought the old shocks were ok but this is night and day difference. I've got to figure out how they work. One was at 3 clicks one was 9 so I've started at 3 and will see how it rides.
  17. Muncie
    Somehow I got new (old) tyres on trailer and fixed a massive hole in floor, car tows like a landcruiser with the turbo
  18. Muncie
    Nothing for weeks and 3pm i decided to smash this together have had the 205 60 13's in roof for at least 9 years someone gave them to me from here look pretty sweet on the galvanised modgies haha the tyre shop dude rolled his eyes when I told him white letters out. Anyway if it rains or is sunny this thing can be shelter I'll throw some extra tools etc in it and i can throw stuff out of car in it. Car tows really well I've not towed with it since I Turbo'd it. See you all tomorrow

    Appears to have stopped weaping now which I'm glad to see.
  20. Muncie
    I'm excited too its a big development from last year it actually wants to go now, 16.0 felt like reclining an armchair.
  21. Muncie
    See you all tomorrow. It has a tiny weep that evaporates before forming a drip..... it'll do im to scared to touch it, i resorted to double heatshrinking the bolt thread taping it to death and a fibre washer as its an 8mm bolt in a 10mm hole seems very dumb and floppy its another days problem ill still bring water though Just need to get some 100 octane and pack trailer and start to relax. I've got a tune with the rev limit mapped to 6400rpm and a decent amount of timing pulled so I can go maddog and up the boost to 12-15psi if I all the stars aline.
  22. Muncie
    Just waiting for repco to open so I can grab a few supplies. Waterpump gasket delete partial success have small leak from one bolt that goes into Water so im going to fit a fibre washer and o rings and hope for best @zach_munce suggested just weld it together at this point im starting to consider it as an option. Anyway to distract myself I Fitted the Tein adjustable rear shocks @jakesae101 sent me originals have gone a bit flacid.
  23. Muncie
    I have paper but couldn't be assed after 4 attempts, the bloody gasket once it started to snug up would wrap around bolt and rip itself too pieces. So bugger it goo it is.
  24. Muncie
    Think im back on track again also got that AWOL bolt out was just getting flung about inside of a drip shield bit of prodding it fell out fortunately shame I had 6 litres of new coolant in it and almost all of it came out. Better now than on way to track that would have been shit. Ok tomorrow fit the rear shocks.
  25. Muncie
    I've given up on the gasket its fucked now anyway and special order from basically anywhere that sells such things so scraped the mating surfaces till they are shiny and am resorting to only grey gasket schmoo. It's on sitting properly and has bolts hand tight I'll nip up in morning and pray to the gods this chapter is closed.
