fp3052 fwd going to track

[vgknightcc]

I am going to the track on the 26th @ San Antonio Raceway for the Khumo tire event... hoping for some good times this will be my first track visit.... I just installed my fp3052 and it is awesome... I tuned with c16 @ 27lbs my timing was around 19-20* up top of third.... no knock.... i am really hoping for a 11 second pass in there but traction will be an issue.... i am using a buddies drag radials so hopefully it helps... I tuned it 2 nights ago and man it just wants to fly walk off the road in 3rd... 1st and 2nd spin but i think i will have better luck at the track ......Any pointers???

San Antonio is a good track, I race thier three years ago for a IDRC event.

Good luck with the new booster, I'm excited to see whay you run with it? I think 650 are a little small for 27psi but hey if your not running 900 deg celcius on the EGT or above 12.0 afr you doing good.

Are you still rocking the open diff?

Open diff go boom.

 

[vgknightcc]

Yeah still got an open diff.... I only got 1.5 runs in hehe...
my first run i did a horrible
.98 reaction
2.8 60ft
14.3 @ 103mph first time at the track....spinning through third on some falken 451 235/45/r17 oh and i missed 4th with my shaky sweaty hand so and froze again with quite a bit of track left i could have been high 13's for sure...
but i went or round 2 and I was planning on featheringout off the tree.. but yeah i froze then ended up droping it from 5k maybe 6k and ripd hard 1-2nd with a 2.4 60ft then my intercooler pipe popd off and i felt something knocking the underbody and i felt like i couldnt really control the car...and just rolled through.....i cracked the crossmember and ripped the bolt off the bracket to he crossmember and popd it out of the bushing that is boltd to the frame... oops.... but everything is fine except i need new crossmember....so if anybody has a spare for a 90fwd let me know..... I will have videos within the next few days..... I am sure i would have gone way lower if i had more practice.... it was my first fwd track expirence...

Thats insane, you ripped that shit apart!!!! I'm sure with traction and some seat time you'll pull the times down alot. Crazy shit !!

 

[gsxAWDdsm692]

yea get your car in a groove...
youve got a great turbo...
maybe get a DSMlink

 

[vgknightcc]

Yeah thats what i was thinking..... I actually cracked it 2 places... i took it and had iron plate welded in to reinforce and fix the split...it stronger and ready almost.... I ordered all the bushings energy suspension makes for fwd supsension and poly motor mount inserts.... looking for some slicks... I have 91 3kgt n/a twin piston calipers and rotors they are a bit bigger and i dont know how low a rim i can use anybody got any idea??? dsmlink soon

 

[Mike1992]

I installed factory big brakes as well and 16" rims fit fine.

 

[vgknightcc]

okay good i am hoping to get some rims soon

15" rims fit over big brakes as well. Don't know about ALL, but some of them do.
