Probably not this week...Dave is out of transfer case cores and he needs to send his driveshaft out figure out where the vibration is coming from. Oddly enough, he never had issues with transfer case breakage until the aluminum driveshaft went on the car. :hmm:

I'll still go up if you're running, Erik.

Yeah, not running the car again untill the shootout!!! I got the stock driveshaft and tcase off of ben's old red laser, and will be putting that stuff on tomorrow.
 
...ive been googling for 10 min now trying to find other hx40 powered cars and their times....i think it may be possible that you are not only fastest hx40 DSM, but hx40 4 banger as well!!!!

Screw it, I am now the RECORD holder for the fastest HX40 powered 4 cylinder!:hellyeah:LOL

There has been a hx40 2g that has trapped 139mph. I know this car has that trap in it very easily but has not yet seen it.

The only really fast things ive found hx40 powered that werent DSMs are an rx7 in sweden running 11s with his...and a TT hx40 truck doing like 10s or something....so maybe....fastest hx40 CAR in the WORLD!!!! ha. lets nto get ahead of ourselfs tho, we need more research.
 
Awesome, seeing this car, makes me anxious to get going on my holset setup! Good luck on the quest for 9's!! That's an ERL stainless cast manifold right?
 
with that t3 set-up, may I ask what rpm full boost is achieved by? I have the FP race mani with small dsm housing that sees 25psi at 4000rpms, stock cams.

Thanks
 
Your Talon looks like a beaut! I just got the FP 68HTA solely for the easy bolt on upgrade, but if I had a T3(/T4?) setup I'd definitely go for this turbo.

Btw have any HP & TQ numbers?
 
Congrats Dave... thanks an awesome time. Sorry to off topic but how's the shep tranny holding up thus far?? how many passes are on it since you installed?? Just curious

So far the trans is shifting great, I have made around 10 passes this year and around 30 passes last year! It was sent up to shep this past winter for a welded center diff and a freshen up... Its for sale this fall cause I'm going with a PPG shep dogbox for next year, but I think jusmx141 has dibbs on it!

99gst-racer, I think I'm running either DSE or bracket 1 again, not sure yet.
I have no HP and TQ numbers, not sure if I even ever want to know..LOL
 
Yeah could you imaging breaking something dumb like a ball joint at 140+ hitting the and possibly rolling over. Yikes thats why I have a little protection with the autopower bolt in. Its better than nothing I guess. I picked it up for $100 off of Brad Gary.

Awesome man... I know once you get into the dogbox it won't be very streetable correct?? At that point are you even gonna drive it on the street?? Justin works fast doesn't he?? LOL

Nope i know this for sure. A local guy with a evo8 is in the low 10's. Alot of people that street race do not post clips or times.

Are they really that un-streetable (as long as it isn't a "quick shifter" set-up)? I feel like its more up to the driver than the dogbox. But then again, I don't own one :p

I'm very excited to see an HX-40 set-up running well! Kudos to all of those involved with the car and best of luck at this year's shootout.

For some unknown reason, my pc hasn't let me get on to tuners in a couple days and now i come on to find this! Holly cow man, congratu-freakin-lations! That's epic for the Holset dsm community. I'm hoping you'll be at the 3rd anual NE meet on the first. That thing is begging for 9's now. Keep it up Dave! When you said the shoot out, did you mean Ohio, or the showdown in NJ? I'll be at the showdown in NJ, prob not racing, but we'll see.
 
Wow, 9's on the holset pretty soon then.

Oh yeah, I would think so with all that is still left in it!
We still have, 10 more PSI, A little more timing, We are uping the rev limit to 9500rpm's, Also if I can get it on a dyno, there is 50 more hp in the cam adjustment!
It might not happen at the Ohio shootout, but I think it can be done at my local dragway in the fall...
