Auto 6262- first trip to the track

[11secDSM]

1st time out to the track with the new setup. Still working out a few bugs but should be back out soon. Need to get the car to come out of the hole harder and get a second pump in it. Trip ended short w/ my oil filter loosening up a little and blowing out the o-ring. I think it's time to get rid of my solid mounts....too many things working themselves loose.

Nice run. I just piked up an auto myself, can't wait to get some uns in on it.

As for the filter, get a k&n filter, and use the pre-drilled hole in the end and safety wire it, so it can't spin off.

 

[11secDSM]

Yeah, was planning on safety wiring it going forward. Been racing for over 15 years and this is the first time it's happened. Lesson learned.

nice run man, glad to see another 6262 make it to the track, i ran a 10.9 about a month ago, im 5 speed though to, i had an electrical issue and as i shifted into 4th the car fell on its face but im shooting for 10.2-10.5 with a full interior street car with slicks,

 

[11secDSM]

It's a decent start. We were more interested to see how the converter would perform up top. Went through the traps at 7900 at 129 in 3rd gear. Real tight up top and loose enough down low. Getting the second pump in this week and heading back to the track....high 30s of boost, 20ish* timing, and 9k shift point should net me some good times.

What sinister converter are you guys using ?

It's a new one i'm testing with Mike. I'll let him chime in on that when he's ready. Top end coupling is very impressive so far.

 

[wvturbo2]

new one, but not the 8" ?

 

[11secDSM]

Correct. Since Mike has it on his site now, I will say it's a 9". I'm sure he'll release more info on it soon.

Dang I have an 8" and still haven't seen anyone make a 1/4 mile pass with it and I'm getting nervous

 

[11secDSM]

There have been a few passes on that converter and it performed well. Cars had some issues though. 8" is definitely looser than this one.

 

[wvturbo2]

Well I'll be following your progress ! Ready to see you in the 10's!

How long have you been running e85 on the 400?

How long have you been running e85 on the 400?

Almost a year now. When they first came out nothing was said about them not being e85 compatible. I don't see any obvious signs of deterioration as of now. That being said, I'm probably switching pumps anyway because I can't find a good way to do dual 400s in tank due to the odd shape.

boost-a-pump!

Nice times though should run 10's all day.

 

[GDNF2ET]

What exhaust housing you running ?
How long does it take to build boost on the line ?
Was weight added to the converter ?
Great job with a usually laggy turbo

I don't think that'd be enough honestly.

.82 ar T3. I'm using a 35 shot to spool so it only takes a second (kicks on at 2200 and turns off at 4400). My cams kill my low end so I can't get it over the hump at 3200 w/o spray. With a less aggressive set, the converter would easily spool this turbo w/o nitrous. Yes, it's weighted.

what tires / tire size are you running?

 

[XLR8]

I hope you have plans to install your shifter to be used with steering wheel buttons.

 

[11secDSM]

what tires / tire size are you running?

MT ET Street Radial 235-60-15 which is a 26" tire.

I hope you have plans to install your shifter to be used with steering wheel buttons.

That's on my list of things to do. After that run I ran the shift box in auto mode, so it did all the shifting for me.

Nice setup. What cams are you running? Or, Better yet. Can we get a rundown of your combo?
