Went back tonight for some more tuning... leaned the car out a little more out top.



still runing the ebay turbo and only ten pounds


Alright guys, i need your help now.. wat can make this car go faster?? without anything braking lol

 

i was up there for that 12.4. car's sick. loving the stock can out the back. never woulda guessed it had a boosted h22. how is that ebay turbo holdin up for you?

and my friend was telling me about the viper hitting the brakes, althoughi missed it myself (till i saw the vid ). but nice build!

 

I'm the heroe! lol ! thanks for all you help GIO!

 

yeah the viper started falling behind and then hit his brakes... the ebay turbo, ive actually been surprised how long its been holding up, its gone through about 30 runs with tonight... it is starting to leak oil though and the boost starts falling off up top... btw what car do you run there??

 

^^haha, thats the driver!!

 

What's the suspension set up like?

Fab some homemade limiters in the rear, and a traction bar for the front suspension. You'll be dipset after that.

 

coilovers and konis out back... well ive thought about suspension ----... but i mean can we get any better than 1.8 60'?? its got some stock hybrided axles lol what if they break??

 

Yea your 60' is top notch but the traction bars really help when the car is fully loaded at the top end, think like it's stopping the front end from lifting up (it isn't really that much) by keeping the front suspension from pulling up too far. The same for the limiters in the rear, they negate the fulcrum effect somewhat by putting a solid stopper at a much shorter point in the suspension travel.

You could also try running with the bumper off/ underpanning the car to cut down lift. That should pick up your top speed slightly, if that setups still got some in her that is.

 

Im gonna try the no rear bumper and maybe a traction bar and see what happens... i was also thinking about putting a gsr tranny on it, what do you guys think of that?? or some other b-series tranny..

 

What tranny is on it now?

I'd look up the ratios and final drive to see the difference, I mean if you have to make an extra shift that's time lost on average, unless the shorter gears made up for it. With all the torque from that motor I'd keep the gears longer and just aim for more power, I'm sure traction would be a much bigger problem with a shorter ratio transmission.
