How much did your car weigh for your various times?
The car weighs the same I just went from 140 shot to a 240 shot.

How much did your car weigh for your various times?
What's the setup, and have you done any testing?
Unfortunately I have been very busy on customer's cars so I haven't had a chance to go to the track. Plus it is really hot here in Phoenix.

Weren't you going to try to see what an AWD car would be like with the same setup? Your CRX was something different to see, i'd still perfer the setup in a dsm (maybe a street car). What clutch were you running when it didn't hold the 240 shot, at 2300 something race weight? How much spray can you hold in 1st gear since you have 26inch tires? What do think 24.5-25.0 tires will hold. I had dsmlink for my car, but have since sold it to purchace ELECTROMOTIVE TEC GT. I just want a fast "Stock Appering" Street car. I'm just getting back into my build-up, since I laid down my ZX10. What type of short time are you getting and what shocks and springs are in your car. I was looking at your videos on you-tube and the gst spyder embarring that 35r car, was a very interesting video. What's his setup, if you can post it? The silver car that is more like yours, from you-tube. Isn't as fast, but he looks like he still has alot more to be dialed in.
We are working on the AWD in between working on customers cars but we have been so busy that I have not had a chance to put it together. The motor is built and ready to go but I still have to put the cage in. I am hoping to have it done before the first of the year but I will have to see how things go here.
As for the CRX we have not had a chance to take it back to the track. It is ready to go but once again my customers come first.
The clutch I was running was an act 2600 and now running an act 3200.
I use a 120 shot off the line and another 120 in second gear.
I have tried all tire sizes but the 26s seem to be the best. I have 28 but they are not allowed in the class that I was running in. The 24s and 25s wouldnt hold more than a 60 shot in first gear so I would not recommend them.
Short times? Not sure what you mean by this.
The Spyder is my car also it has the same setup as my racecar but it has a 160 shot with a 2.4 instead of a 2.0. I have also converted it to an AWD but that bi*** is heavy. Thats the main reason why I would like to see what a lighter AWD will do with the same setup.
The silver car is also mine but my tech drives it for me. The video you saw was the first time Jose ever drove the car. Since then he has touched a very high ten.10.97 at 131mph but he is only on a 200 shot. That cars setup is a bit different as it has only a built 2.4 short block with a stock head.
I trying to get my girl in a car next I bought a wrecked auto GST that I am going to put her in. We will do everything the same but stay an auto for her. This is still a bit of time away because I would like to finish the AWD first.
So the plan is to
Have me in the AWD racecar
My girl in the auto Eclipse
Jose in the gray Eclipse
My brother in the CRX
My dad in my black FWD Eclipse
But we will just have to see how it goes.
Yeah, how did you get the 3200 and how is it holding up for you? Could you get another one? I have a twin disk, but I really hate the way they sound. It's not in my car, but I brought it for the car. My dp kit, is setup for 175 shot right now. I still have a single fogger setup in my room. Altogether that's 250 hp worth of spray im willing to dish at the motor. My nitrous runs on it's own fuel system. Your car is amazing, please keep us updated on your progress. Hopefully soon, i'd be able to finsh my car to post the times.
How long has your motor lasted under these conditions (miles, or passes)?
What have you broken as a result?
I get the clutches from my vendors and I have a few on hand. I have only made 4 passes on it but so far it has shown to hold the power ok.
My first built motor lasted 7 years and had 483 miles on it and every mile was at the track. So I would say it had more than 400 passes on it. Unfortunately the company that assembled the motor didnt keep to their word and sold me a ground crank which I feel resulted in a spun journal bearing.
Since then I started assembling my own motors. Its hard to trust people these days. The funny thing is my stock motor lasted 4 years and made more passes (over 700) than my built one without any issues. Although I didnt use more than 140 shot on my stock motor and my race motor has had as much as a 260 shot.
In the past 10 years I have not broken much I must say I have been lucky.
1. burned a valve.
2. broken 3 transmissions.
3. one axel.
4. 9 clutches.
How do you manage this with your stock fuel system?
sounds like a whole lotta fun. I was planning to keep the 14B on there and run a large 2 stage setup, but I want to be fast when I don't have the bottles full. That way if I run into a corvette on the street I can beat him or at least keep up with him, and beat everyone else once the bottles are full. I'm looking forward to tracking the car in November at the north vs. south west coast shoot out over in bakersfield. I hope to have a lot more done to the car by then and maybe even hit a 10 second time slip on the stock motor. Of course I'll get kicked off the track for that since I don't plan on putting a roll cage in the car. Having a cage gives away too much when your trying to hustle a high dollar street race with trailer queen domestics.
My Talon has always been fast but I've never taken this one to the track because of the hassel of it all. But I'm just tired of hearing all these honda guys in town talking about how their 11.7 proves that they're the fastest imports in town. So now I'll just have to make 1 pass at full bore and save the time slip to shut them up. They won't race me in the street because I'm awd so I just have to do this I guess. If I were a Honda guy I would be pissed that I'm never fast unless I have slicks and a tacky track. But hey....... to each their own.
how much boost psi you use when you spray 140shot to the stock engine???
it nice to see that its FWD
