On a better note, I got the stock subframe back in the car last night and everything looks great again! I even got a nice surprise that I had never noticed before... I have poly bushings in the subframe! I thought I only had the poly control arm bushings! Score! Alignment on Friday then Haltech tuning with Early Performance on Saturday and we'll be ready to rock!
It was a BorgWarner S300SX FMW 62mm. Decided to stick with the same turbo and fix the crankcase issue. It did so well on the dyno that I really want to give it a chance to show some really good 1/4mi numbers. I tried to buy a PTE 6266 1.15A/R TS T4 at the Shootout after the BW failure but it didn't work out. I asked the guy if they had everything and he said yes, no problem. I went back to my trailer and discussed with the fiance who agreed to do it. Went back to PTE and the guy did a complete 180* on me. "Well the only 6266 we have is the display on the table... and... uh... we don't... have the 1.15 twin-scroll T4 housing available here." Great. Needless to say I was pretty annoyed.Which turbo did you have and which are you going with now?
The car ran 10.5@133 on the first pass bouncing off the rev limiter during each shift as the shift box shift points were set a bit too high. The problem with working til the last minute and not having time to test at the track beforehand. I hurt the turbo on that pass as when I tried to stall up on the converter on the second pass, it was a lot lazier than normal. Got the car on the 2-step eventually and took off. First and second gear were great, felt strong, then in third the car was hauling then a pop and the car fell on its face and smoke started pouring from the exhaust. Still did a 10.8@86 on the brakes. Turbo broke the shaft, destroyed the turbine wheel, and the compressor wheel even rubbed the housing a bit as well. No good.What did it run? I didn't make it to ohio untill late saturday night so I missed a lot.
