So I decided to head to Sacramento from Reno and run my 14B car. Its roughly a 4000ft elevation difference. I figured I need all I can get. Here are my results.
Saturday 3/2/13
I unload the car and go make my first pass. Launch the car, hit second, as soon as I hit full boost the nut on the turbo backed off and shot the turbine out the back. Now this is a common issue with the 14B's that where on the 90 dsms. They are a serial number ending with 1010. So I swap out the turbo with the spare I bought and ended up making two passes this day.
60' 1.686
1/8et 7.294
1/8mph 99.930
1/4et 11.246
1/4mph 124.851
Pass 2
60' 1.758
1/8et 7.241
1/8mph 101.416
1/4et 11.113
1/4mph 126.252
Excited about the run I didnt want to push my luck because of the big race the next day.
3/3/13
Get to the track unload and tech. Then we start talking about my previous day. We talk about the turbo and the issues. I go look at the spare on my car and its another 1010 14B. Paranoid about losing another turbo, I make my first pass after waiting on the starting line for an hour beacause it decided to rain right as I was staging. Then I get back pull the O2 housing off and to my surprise the turbine nut was a tad loose. i tighten it up and made another three passes. Got a new personal best 60' time and a new 1/4 mile et time
Pass 1 (after rain)
60' 1.765
1/8et 7.282
1/8mph 101.049
1/4et 11.168
1/4mph 125.765
Pass 2
60' 1.628
1/8et 7.137
1/8mph 100.284
1/4et 11.036
1/4mph 125.592
Pass 3&4
Day started going a little down hill from here. Hit two more low 1.6 60' times. and both passes ended with 11.3s at the low 120 mark. Was having issues getting acustomed to the NLTS. And somehow managed to pop out my shift cable retaining clip on the 3rd pass. Thanks to a fellow Dsmer (DSMsleeper) on here, he loaned me a clip so I could continue.
I plan to hit the track a few more times before it get warm this summer and take advantage of this nice cool air. Very happy to have set the stock 14b mph so high. Now to match the ET and get this sucker into the 10s.
For those that are interested in the car and build I have a thread here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/dsm-build-journals/455110-92-gst-stealing-14b-record-build.html
