First off getting out my excuse book I wanted to say that no it really isnt front wheel drive honest. This was my first pass of the season and my first pass with the new setup. It was HOT. The heat index was well over 100 degrees. I drove about 2hrs each way to the track. And lastly I can be honest and say that Im pretty much untuned. Wes and I didnt get to devote anywhere near enough time with the wideband to the WOT map with this turbo. We did some WOT tuning and some part throttle tuning under 50mph but never a steady state 70mph highway tune I think my plugs were just the slightest bit fouled from the drive over. When I took off I bogged really bad. The a/f ratio at WOT is a very fat 11:5:1 11:8:1. I am thinking that if I can ever find my way out to BM Tranny I should be able to really prefect that.
The run was made at 21lbs of boost at around 18 degrees of timing on the Haltech on connivance store 93 octane. The car has leather seats stereo etc the only thing that is removed is the AC that didnt work. I would guess that car weight to be around 3100lbs and the driver depending on whats for lunch weighs in at about 280 bringing the total WAY too close to 3300-3400lbs.
Ok on to the slip feel free to snicker:
60ft 2.2
1/8 7.97
MPH 99.20
¼ 11.961
MPH 125.95 Im just gonna go a head and round up to 126.
There is nowhere to go but down with the ETs. Honestly I usually dont suck this bad. I was cutting 1.7s most of last season on my 4 Kuhmo 712s on 17in rims. I think that just maybe they arent going to be sufficient for getting this car down the track with as much power as its making now.
Putting on my benchracer hat I think if I could have a run with fresh plugs and come off the line without bogging on a 70 degree day with a big more tuning I could very well be mid to low 11s around 128-130 on pump gas which is ####ing sick if you ask me.
I have to say that the 4g64 is pretty much the ultimate when it comes to street/strip duty. I cant believe Marco can keep these in stock. Even though I have the normal boring 64 and not the ultra pimp long rod 64. Im seeing 30lbs of boost on my big ass turbo at 3900-4100. All this torque is addicting. I have some torque steer/wheelspin issues at the top of 3rd. At the track I was rocking side to side through the traps.
I use to have a BR57 on the car 60-1 stage 3 .82ar. It was a big laggy with the 5 bolt .82 ar PTE housing on there on the 2L but it worked great on the 2.4L. I switched to an AGP 56 trim Gt40 T350 same .82ar exhaust housing. When the BR57 turbo died. Apparently turbos dont like have bearings go through them go fig. The car made about 10% more hp with about 4lbs less boost on pump gas with the AGP setup.
The really scary thing is that if this car is doing 126 on pump gas at 21lbs what the hell is it going to do at 32lbs on c16? If anyone out there is still on the fence about what turbo to get this GT40 compressor rocks. Mate it to as big of a turbine housing as you can tolerate ( I suggest going t3/t4) and have fun.
Big thanks to Wes Hess. He put the whole car together for me. His advice and help has been indispensable. I tried to listen to him whenever I can and it served me well. Whats even best is that it really didnt cost me and arm and a leg.
Basic mod list is as follows:
Magnus 4g64 9:1 CR
AGP 56triim
Turbonetics manifold (still hasnt cracked)
960cc RC injectors
Haltech Ek6
Spearco 216 core with Tial BOV
BJ stage 2 head
HKS 272s
Venom intake manifold with stock tb
Hess Racing tranny
Im sure I may have forgotten something but that is all the big stuff. Dont be too hard on me guys.
