Ran three 12.7 @ 109.xx tonight. And one 12.8 @ 110.xx!

Can't wait for the meth injection tune!

 

Well,

Running consistant 12.5 @ 112s......

But thats it. Cant do any better right now. Various reasons. One of which is that I have pretty much maxxed out the twincharge setup WITHOUT bypass. So I am going to do the bypass.

But until then, I am going Turbo only....

Its done, but I havent run it yet.... It will probablly scream, make 370 whp/430torqu, but be laggy as Hell.....

Let you know down the road!

 

updates?

 

I'm curious as to how you know that the supercharger is a restriction and needs a bypass? Or is the boost going too high with the SC operating? Not hating, just wondering.

 

i noticed your trackslips said pir. you from around portland obviously where at?

 

Nothing better then a crazy project, spraying down a track with oil on a 13 second pass.

Well, updates since my last post.....

Lost 3rd gear..... suspect I sucked up a missing piece of metal...

Then a day later lost a piston just gettin onto I-84 low boost, hole in piston #1

Swapped in the original 2.2 motor, and then lost it 20 miles later when the damn ******------- heater hose popped off (completely my fault not making sure the clamp was perfect) and drained out of coolent and warped a head.

So at that point I decided to get "serious". Mahle pistons, bored to 100 mm, STI crank and rods, etc, etc......

As of last night, it was up and running 100% with the twincharged setup.

After a few break in runs, I did a 13.1 @ 105 mph and went for a 12.xxxx time.

Missed a shift and had to go for another run. Note, this is the last time PIR is running for 2007, and as well, the last run of the night!


So anyway, the story is kinda funny.....

I roll up for my last run of the night. It would NOT have been the last run as I wanted the previous run to be my last run, but I missed 2nd and was shooting for the damn 12.999.

So I roll up to the line, open my door and shake hands with the control guy and say "Thank alot! Have a great winter!" Then I roll up to the line, line up, rev up, drop the clutch and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I roll off the line barely, get it into 2nd and continue down the line. But obviously not fast. I make it to the end, turn off and look under the hood. Nothing obvious. Try the gears. Stuck, but I am able to **** with it long enough to get the transmission into 2nd and roll out of PIR. I am damned if I am going to get towed! I get on the freeway, shift to fifth and cruise! The noise is weird, not a single vibration that you can feel, but a nasty loose rattle that is rhythimic to the rpm....

So I make it about 15 miles or so back to the shop and am finally able to try 1st.

NOPE. All it does is "CRRRRRRRRRRRRRR". Good thing I have an extra tranny or two! And alot of downtime... haha. Although it is getting to be a bitch pulling the motor because there is so much crap in the engine bay now. haha.

 

Oh yeah, the 13.1 was at 14 psi, unless something was tweeked at the boost gauge. And you know me, I will be honest if something was..... Just hoping I was right, cause if I did a 13.1 @ 14 psi, this new motor is a real monster!

 

way too stay with it after all the BS, i probably would have had a bonfire by now.
