11.0 @ 136 Hx40 Gst inside !!!!!

Nice run! Everyone says the .55 a/r housing limits them. Any proof?

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying you can't make a lot of power with a smaller housing... You and many others have proved that. Just saying you'll make more power with a larger one.

I believe Talondave picked up quite a bit switching from a .55 to a .70? I bet it would pick up even more with a larger housing. I suppose it's just depends on what you use the car for. When racing, pressure ratios of 1:1 or better just plain work. Obviously you have to find a happy median between "spool time" and peak power on a street car, so most don't run ideal peak power P/R's.

If the exh. back pressure is 3-4x the manifold pressure you're leaving a ton of HP on the table. You can only combat it to a point by running tons of boost and special cams... but why restrict the engine more than you have to? It makes more heat, and is harder on parts.

I made 685hp and 665 tq on the 55 bep housing. how much he made more on the .70 and did he ever dyno his car

I remember reading that in the holset threads. That is very impressive, not trying to take anything away from you or your setup. You don't think you would have made more power with a larger housing? I sure do. Did you ever run that 685HP setup at the track?

 

[badman21]

I ran 10.81 @ 134 on it 2 years ago with a 1.8 60 foot. Only my 3rd time to the track every. the car with me in it weighed 3250 with me in it. Now its much lighter with carbon hatch and doors. I dynoed the car last week to try to fix a break up issue that i had for quiet some time now that i finally figured out it was the msd box. The car made 663 only reving to 6200 rpm and had ignition breakup during the whole pull @ 42 psi. I am working on getting a good ignition system so we can get it to the track asap.

 

[talontsi97]

Was so disappointed i didnt get to speak to the owner of the car while there. Dying to know his exact mod list *motor/trans/clutch etc.). I'd like to see him get a JMF intake manifold and re-dyno.

Congrats on the 10.0, with the nice head wind we had and cool temps i'm impressed it went 11.0

Nice runs! Which HX40 was it? Wheel specs?

I haven't seen many people run the hx40 pro 6 blades. They flow quite a bit more than the standard 8 blade hx40. Then it seems people run the hx-40 in the .55 AR housings. This really limits them as well. Could this be the reason they generally seem to run around the same as the hx35 setups? I'll have my super mild setup with an hx40-pro in a .63 housing done in the next couple weeks. Should be interesting.

I know Dave had six blade. But i really like to see more 6 blades on a divided housing.maybe even the 14 cm stock housing. Not the larger ones.

No disrespect, I'm sure you did make those numbers....but that weight and trap speed don't add up to a 685whp car... Or even a 663whp car.

Mr peepers went faster than that in his full weight 1g on an hx35 and under 30psi (dynoed 511hp I believe). No where near 660hp. My 3200lb rx7 traps 136 and is also no where near 660rwhp. Something is off.... maybe just wasn't running well at the track?

I agree. I ran a 10.9@134 with 530whp and a 1.8 60ft. Maybe if you have some barbells in the trunk in your full weight 1g then it seems right.

Thanx for all the love guys! The car has a billet hx40. Track conditions sucked balls. Crazy winds and no track prep.

 

[badman21]

Well sometimes its difficult to gauge a car when you only run it once and they say you need alot of safety equipment. I have seen cars with bigger setups run more disappointing numbers. At this point I take what I can get out of my car. It has had ignition issues for quiet sometime and the track is like 2-2 1/2 hours away from my home and is unrealistic for me to track the car more then i could afford. Congrads on the guys that ran faster then me on less hp me be i need him to drive me car. Its my first car and not that easy to run 10's or faster at my 3rd time ever at the track. I have also noticed that the more successful people in the sport, track all the time. No excuse I am just saying.

Dyno numbers don't always tell the truth, but weight and trap speeds never lie. Trap speed isn't something that will change like ET. Learning to drive your car better isn't going to affect the trap speed much, it will lower the ET.

That doesn't mean your car was running at 100% when U got to run it. I'm sure it crazy at 40+ when running well. We can discuss this in another thread if you want... I'm done clogging up this guys.

Sorry for the thread Hijack... Congrats again to the OP.

I understand but what people don't understand hp is hp going down the track has to do with traction and power to weight. I saw mr peepers pass that was a 1.5 60 foot he is a good driver i am not. My second pass at the track was 11.5 @130 2.0 sixty foot with a gt3076r. I was at the buschur shootout this year and saw 16g cars run low 10s with almost nothing it them.

 

[codeofdastreets]

I knew this pass was going to be posted, badman just beat me to it . Turbo is a billet 60mm 7/12 blade turbo with a bep t3 70ar hotside. Straight bada$$ turbo, defenity want to get another one. Was just wondering what the fastest hx40 fwd is running because the goal is to brake the record for fwd ..Car only mad 2 passes 11.0@136 with a 1.9 60ft and 11.4@124 braking the quaife diff uptop, 60 was a 2.0 that time I beleve. First time the car hit the track since the new setup md first time testing the qtps.. Hopefully next time the car could has another clean pass nd brake 10"s..

@ there being "Holset records" now..

 

[20gbeast]

This is why i never post on theses forums. Its a waste of time. All theses guys seem to have all the answers yet have no results for them self!

 

[badman21]

Lol me too but its all in fun

 

[richard33]

@ there being "Holset records" now..

Well it makes sense. A lot of people are running them now. They have 16g records, why cant we have holset records? .

 

[talontsi97]

What transmission & clutch setup is this car running?
thanks

 

[20gbeast]

Tranny was a tre but it blew up on the last run after I hit 4th gear. The clutch is a act 2600 6puck sprung and a Fidanza flywheel.

ahh thats a shame. I'll gladly post up my HD video of your runs if you'd like to send me more info on your setup (mod list wise) or if you want any specific info included in it.

Can't wait to finish my 2gfwd.

what would you like to know about my setup?

 

[talontsi97]

Been busy with other projects but remembered i had these videos from e-town. Threw your basic mod list in there and info.
