The Galant used a forced four box. I used an AEM 10 channel for my truck. You just split the signal if you need or have odd numbers. The Galant we just didn’t use the other two channels.Pretty simple. It is just wires. Everything was ran as staged but, we’re turned on pretty low. That seemed...
It was a problem spraying a lot of water on my Festiva. That was a little baby 1.3L motor. It had compound turbos and I was spraying before the low pressure turbo and the high pressure turbo. So it would flood the cylinders easily. I finally found the correct sizing through testing.The new...
In a laboratory, sure. If you spray enough water. In a motor sports application, no. You don’t flood the motor. Only mist it.I flood it but, I am also a max effort, four digit horsepower car.And didn’t I already say we road raced a Galant for years with no intercooler? We used two 950’s...
I have sprayed both fuel and water before the compressor. I currently spray water both before the compressor and inbetween the compressor and throttle body. It is actually in the compressor housing as my compressor outlet is attached directly to my throttle body.I use straight water as an aid...
How does spraying fuel in your exhaust help your cylinder temperatures? That’s right. It doesn’t.I have been 230mph in a dsm at Bonneville with no intercooler. We road raced a 500whp Galant for YEARS with no intercooler. I made 800whp with my 4G63 rat rod with no intercooler. As you can see, I...
Or do what I do. Run no intercooler and spray a ton of water or fuel down its throat.I am not a fan of methanol injection. Straight water, or add to your fuel system and put as many fuel injectors between the turbo and throttle body you can tune for and tune the engine to the same ratios you...
Days like that make most folks give up. They spend a lot of time and money and expect miracles first time out or first time on the Dyno. Just keep pushing through and you will get there.I am debuting my new car for the first time next week. Should be a challenge as well.
A well running stock awd 2g here will run a 15.3. Not a high 14. The car ran that time like clockwork.my galant ran 15.7-15.8 like clockwork as well. Also running top notch. All at bandimere.
I kept having the same issue with my Magnafuel hex drive pump. Rust and continually losing pressure. It was shot and they only thing they could reuse was the housing when I sent it in. Apparently you are suppose to send them in every 1-2 years to be freshened up when running alcohol. They asked...
Any reason to only let it pop on the converter once then go? Any room for improvement with the four link to keep the rear end from jumping around? Seems like it wasn’t enough power to utilize the suspension(ie- more time on the converter). Granted we know the 16g is light on power as is.It...
Where is the ecu freaking out at temperature wise? I think mine did that tonight testing. The car back fired for No reason I can see other wise. In the log it goes from 165* to 200* instantly. That is where the rpm dipped and the car backfired in the middle of third gear and that was at only...
Looks like you need the other injectors. I assume the intake temperatures were over 300*. I have seen very similar results before from hotpipe td05 turbos. They just shoot fire.even with more cooling from fuel, I don’t know where the .2 seconds will come from. Is it feasible to force fresh...
I saw diminishing returns on my mirage with the 14b and 10cm housing on the Dyno at 19psi falling to 13psi for boost and 30-31psi of turbine backpressure. This is with a Tial 38mm Gaye off the #1 runner. That turbine housing does perform quite well I can agree with though.After experimenting...
Does that thing have the 10cm turbine housing? I have had great luck recently with my new fuel setup. Granted I am still on E85. I currently have four 1150cc primary injectors and four 850cc secondaries spraying before the turbo. As well as a .041” nitrous jet pre-turbo as well.So far around...
That sounds absolutely terrible. Especially given your elevation.I just went 12.6@112 with a 14b at 5,800ft and 9700ft density altitude.this car does consistent 1.8 sixty foots at this power level. With the big turbos I have been as quick as 1.60. And there is still some work to be done with...
This car isn’t cut either. Just stripped down and a cage added. All factory glass even.who cares what others think anyway? Not your fault they build their car the wrong way.
The car made 20hp and 20tq more uncorrected. And 25hp and 25tq at redline. Mountain, uncorrected numbers.the car is heavy. It weighs 2400lbs with me in it. It has been much lighter but, has and 18 point roll cage in it. This is a 1989 turbo, fwd, Mitsubishi Mirage.uncorrected dyno numbers...
For now I am one with this adventure. I went to the dyno a few weeks ago out of boredom to see if I could find anymore out of the setup. I did not mess with the boost anymore as at the track increasing it showed now gains. All I did was find the timing it really wanted and clean up the fuel.i...
Well, f***ing shit.5,800ft elevation
7640ft density altitudeHad a hard time trusting the car and myself the first three passes and kept lifting to shift to ensure it would go into second gear. I just needed to trust the car. Understandable as this was the first outing and first launches with...
We are officially the quickest and fastest 14b powered Mitsubishi in Colorado. We have now bested both the elapsed time and mph record locally. Now I can start moving forward with the car again now that we have rebuilt the base and have a solid program we can work off of. If we can make it work...
We took the old shitbox to the track tonight. It exceeded my goals. It went quicker and faster than I expected it to. We found the clutch needed a little more adjustment and it cost me a 13.0 if not a 12 second pass. We went down for one more run and it started raining really bad.So the old...
I am going to give this a go. I don’t expect a miracle being that I race at 5,800ft. Last time I went to the track our density altitude was 8,300ft. And I am quite heavy at 2400-2410lbs race weight. Hopefully I can get in the 100-103mph range and go low 13’s.The best we did before in a light...
I have seen to Many people blow up their engine using the 1g cam sensor.Maybe I can't read but, looks like that is exactly what he said. As I keep saying, run a number and prove me wrong. Don't give us 75% and expect everyone to suck you off. Run something worth a darn and post it when you do...
You need to do some research and look around at how highly this guy totes himself and how innovative he is with a nearly 30 year old platform. He is the one running around tooting his own horn, not me. I just want to see some legitimate numbers from the car. Not some dangerous street pull...
The one thing to take away from this is it is all guesswork. He has no real data, no respectable time slips and excuses and smoke and mirrors just like normal. For him to be so badass you would think he would be out of it the first sign it was breaking up. And from what I can see his official...
10.6@141 first pass ever in the car. 10.4@142 on the second pass getting more comfortable. Then the clutch started acting up and would not allow me to shift into second three passes in a row. Something happened as it would not even go into first when I went to public it on the trailer. I had to...
The car has not been on a dyno jet in ten years. So we don't know where it "really" is. We tune on a mustang dyno and it made 550hp@38psi on that dyno uncorrected.
One step at a time. We rolled into it the first two passes and launched it the second two. Those were the first runs with the car so we are learning as we go.
Flyby video added.
He had a lap belt. For some reason he forgot the shoulder belt this run. His other runs I made sure but, this run I was trying to line him up straight so we could launch the car and forgot to remind him.
We knew the new turbo setup was lazy. We were not predicting it to take to nearly half track to get the turbo spooled all the way up. We would freight train the back half of the track but, waste too much room getting some steam going. On our last two runs we decided to launch the car(FWD) to get...
We went 167mph with an open diff last year at 6100ft elevation and 9600ft density altitude with our fwd. If you really think you are losing mph I would love to see you run at our elevation. The only guys we heard complaining as the cars run what they run was the English racing guys who all lost...
I have an extra 5 bar map sensor from the talon I am not using. I had thought about it for the big turbo but, not this one. I am not sure if i will or not. I don't really want to pull the turbo back off again as it is all assembled finally.
And maybe if the stars align it is running well enough I may take it to the shootout when we go this fall. We are trying to run 8's with another car so that is the priority.
Yes. If things go well enough I may take the car to Arkansas or Oklahoma to run. There is a drag strip near my grandparents in Arkansas and one not far from my dad in Oklahoma. My dad lives in Arkansas right on the Oklahoma border and that track is like 15-20 minutes from him.The only...
I am willing to bet everything I have learned that at these low horsepower outputs that there will be little to no gains switching between all the common fuels and tuning each of them as far as could be. Not enough to warrant the change for the average racer. Now a 1000hp, 2000hp or any serious...
While super expensive, it was a fantastic fuel to run. We made big power and the car was reliable and predictable. It smelled great as well. The only thing we had to worry about was major elevation changes as we would drop over 5000ft sometimes. Some simple math and it pretty much was on the...
Justin. When we ran q16, we treated it just like gas. I just ran a little richer than most would and the car loved it. Mid to high 11's and the car was a happy camper. I set the global up just as you would regular gasoline and the car seemed to take it well. This was all done with egt data from...
A glimpse of my last shot at this before putting the man turbo on. The T3 10cm 14b.URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/biglady112/media/cordia/WP_20150315_12_57_19_Pro_zpsm2jzki7b.jpg.html][/ :P URL]
I have given up on the talon. After I spent all fall removing more weight. It is not officially my car, but I have no desire to keep spending money and time on it. I have given the car ten years. I have decided to pursue this endeavor in a FWD chassis. I am making the 600 mile journey in two...
if we can get the converter back in time(will be at my house Monday) get it installed and get on the dyno to see if it works better we will be there. My friend procrastinated way too long. The car has been in the trailer untouched for almost six weeks. It is an outside shot but, we are going to...
