HomemadeTurbo - DIY Turbo Forum - 5/14 Aftermath (56k unfriendly) lota pics!

Well, it was a good and bad day I guess. I hit my goal, mid 12's (12.7 @ 111.5mph) with a 1.9 60ft time. I was very pleased with that, but I did end up cracking a sleeve at the track. 13-14psi was the amount of boost I was running. Its been awhile since I have blown a motor, so it was kind of a shock, I was hoping it was a head gasket, but with the ammount of water that was coming out of the head/exhaust, I knew it was bad.

Here are a few pics.

Dave ------- his car, after running several shitty runs. (on street tires) but I think he hit a 13.3? or 13.5? The funny part was Dave's little brother, (the guy who dressed up in a dress and offroaded the RV) was there, and raced his 4.0l automatic XJ Jeep..... and guess who won the ------- Import Invasion at PR? lol ;D oh yes, Dave's little brother, pulling consistant 17.0 sec passes, fucker got a trophy and a gift certificate!
