nice, I'm up the road from you. Hope your on the local boards.

Nice Numbers!!!!

 

[habitatguy187]

street tires or drag radials?....where you on race gas/pump or e85?

Same thing I'm wondering.

Very nice run! Last week I went 11.1 @129mph on my 92 awd with a hx40 on e85 and still on just a single walbro 255!!!

40psi on a 2.3? You must be running some pretty conservative timing numbers.

Being 2.3 has nothing to do with how much boost you can run. Now if he said he was 9:1 running 40 psi that would be different.

I was looking at horsepower more than potential boost. My Laser AWD dyno'd 467whp (Mustang dyno), race weight of 2955lbs, and went 133.9mph at 30psi on a 9:1 2.0L. ~200lbs heavier and 1mph faster is maybe 30whp more. Having said that, I just ran a Supra on our dyno that put down 765whp, and a DSM with an FP3052 that did 475whp. At the track, 130mph and 129mph respectively for various reasons. For a rough Dynojet comparison, a car that put down 365whp on our Mustang made 421whp on a DJ.

Good luck to the OP on getting all 685whp to the track next time out and going deeper into the 10's and closer to 140mph.

40psi and only 10.80's?

40psi and only 10.80's?

He did one pass and got kicked out... Do people even read the threads or just read what they want to read and then post asinine comments? I'm sure he will break 10.80s.

Well its difficult to learn a car with only one pass. Seat time it the key and by the way my 60' was a 1.8. Not alot of people run 10's with a 1.8 60 foot. Me in my car car weights 3278. My car has all the seats in it. I went to the track 2 weeks ago and broke my rear axle so imma try to dsm graveyard rear axles and hopefully get a decent launch

 

[Turbo Monk3y]

Congrats on the 10s. 40psi is getting up there though. Any room for more boost up there?

 

[badman21]

We have ran a max of 48psi with some ignition issues that we have just solved so the car was down on hp but made some crazy torque. The charts are in the dyno talk section. Stay tuned as we update the current hp as we clean up the high rpm areas the car made 665 hp and 655 tq and was only reved to 6500. Which we recent changed the ignition box and are bow back to spark plug wires.

Cut .1 second off that 60ft and you have mid 10s for sure!

40psi and only 10.80's?

didn't even look at mph and his weight is in his profile. It's making the power. . . . I agree. Reading what one wants.

 

[Gooberlog]

Yeah those are awesome times for a not so great 60'. Put a cage in it, and work on some seat time. I bet that car would run the same time at a lot less boost with a better launch. Congrats man!

 

[dsm-onster]

Or alot better time with the same boost and seat time. How ever you slice it

 

[jshuman]

Wow I love seeing these holset results. I am finishing a 2.0l hx-40 pro ts t4 build now and have a 2.4l hx-52 ts t4 build in the works. You would hear me screaming like a little girl if I broke into the 10s on my first pass!
Awesome job!

 

[Gooberlog]

Yeah even though that car probably has a lot left on the table, i would be totally stooked if I hit 10's on the first past too.
