Got my ass handed to me...
 

I've seen A 24-valve Cummins B-Motor run a 12.9 on nitrous at misson, B.C. but I wasn't ready for what happened last night. I was taking off at a stoplight kinda hard cuz I needed to get over one lane past a relatively stock-looking dodge truck. When I heard the bass deepen and the turbo spool up on that thing, I nailed it. Well, I guess the Dyno-Mite Diesel Performance in huge letters on the box should have told me he had some torque. I could catch him eventually, but that SOB could accelerate hard! Anyone else ever see a quick diesel?

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

I saw a new beetle TDI, turbo diesel, the guy said he was running 13's, and it looked pretty quick.

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

BD perfomance prolly did his ----. they crank out some pretty badass diesel trucks in abbotsford..
hello local!

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

Volkswagon turbo deisel beetles suck ass. That guy must have doubled the boost to make it seem at all decent. They run a very low 19 stock. :'(

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

That's what I thought too, but it did look pretty quick.
His redline was 4000rpm.

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

but torque on a turbo diesel is twice as much as what we make on our motors..so Yes they will pull on us hard, unless you have a big turbo then youll be fine ;D isnt that right Jeff!

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

only twice as much...

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

Autotrader rates the 2002 RAmM with the HO Cummins 5.9L 6 Cylinder 245 hp Turbo Diesel
* Horsepower: 245 @ 2700rpm
* Torque: 460 @ 1600rpm
Thats only what about 4 times the torque of a civic ;D

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

Have you heard of a beetle RSI? It's got a V6 Twin Turbo Motor (not joking). It also has AWD, and it has extreme potential.

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

huh?...pics?

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

just check this link:

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

thats just a concept car right now man..

heard of the cadallac sixteen? it has a v16 motor w/ 1000hp and 1000tq.. you think we will ever see that on the street? no way. especially w/ the price of gas!

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

It's not just a concept, europe has it, one of the last issues of eurotuner showed 10 cars to hot for the us and the RSi was one of them, the also had like estimated values and to bring it here the car would have to cost like $50,000 or something like that, too much for the american consumers, who would buy it.

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

the caddi sixteen gets like 19mpg or sumthin

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

19 mpg? That seems a little much for 16 cylinders....... thats 16 injectors... they have to be at least 240 cc/min unless the thing has like 1/1000th inch chamber volume...
16 * 240 cc = 3840 cc / min. Anyways, lets convert this to something we can understand. 1 cc = .000264 gallons [us liquid].

So ... 3840 * .000264 = 1.014421 gallons per minute.

Thus 1.014416 gallons of gasoline per minute is consumed when the injectors are opened (of course this would be different in reality because each injector isnt going to pulse every revolution).

Explain how that can get 19 mpg :)

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

theres a turbodiesel dodge truck around here that runs something around a 12.4. really neat to watch

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

That'd be a scary sight to see a TRUCK run that fast of a time..

I always invision trucks as being bunk, and being able to take them off the line most definately because of traction loss.. I'd cry to have my ass kicked by one.

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

"The Cadillac Sixteen is rear-wheel drive powered by an all-aluminum 13.6-liter engine. It includes technology such as Displacement on Demand, which allows the engine to run on four, eight or sixteen cylinders depending on driving conditions."

http://www.cadillac.com/cadillacjsp/.../overview.html

That's how. :D

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

ahhh I see.

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

its the same technology as used on the new lambo. As for diesels i raced my friends heavy duty one and he has some serious lauching power on that bitch , luckily nethier of us won since it was a short distance but long haul i know he would rape my fiero thats why im waiting til i get turboed.Hell ,probly still get raped lol

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

its not hard to make them trucks fast.
i whant to get a 4X2 f-350 long bed crew cab dully.
and get that bicth slamed and have it run at least 13s.
and it not hard at all. probly easyer the a honda. but a little more $$..

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

::)WTF????? :o Where did you....Why did you....Who did you.....Nevermind.....

A good friend of mine works at Eckhart Rv in Lake Havasu. They specialize in diesel performance. Anyways, he has a 00' f350 with a power stroke diesel motor, 6 speed transmission, and all the performance parts available. He is running around 27 psi. We raced one time and I thought he wasn't going to stand a chance. He launched that truck so f@*king hard I couldn't believe it. He was at least two car lengths ahead of me before I even started moving. Don't laugh. He stuck it in 4wd to launch like that. Didn't even break the tires loose. He spanked me for about 3/4 of the track. Don't be fooled by the diesels. The are torque monsters. ;D

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

wow, cadilac tried that thing where it turns off cylinders when you dont need the power back in the 80's, I can't believe they would try it again after they caught so much ---- for it the last time... That was one of the biggest lemmons of all time, They say like V-4-6-8 on the back or something. They are right up there with the pinto, chevette, yugo, I could go on but it might start a flame war...

About the diesels, my friend has an S2000 with a 75 shot on it... He said the last thing that owned him on the highway was a diesel excursion 2wd. He said it had propane injection which is said to be like nitrous to a deisel

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

Bully Dog makes a propane injection kit for diesels. It is the same thing as nos in a gas motor. They can handle something like 250 shots of propane. My buddy is getting in to that. He wants to race me again after he gets it hooked up. I might have to pass up the embarasment of getting smoked by a 8500 pound diesel! ;D

Yeah, it's hard to have a lack of traction with that much weight and turning all four. But whatever, he had the advantage of powerbraking his way to some kind of boost just before the light changed.

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

buddy of mine had a dodge turbo diesel pushing 30+ psi due to a full banks power set-up. the only problem he had was holding his trannies together. he went thru 3 or 4 of them in a short time and decided to trade it in.

NEUMAN

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
 

Theres a dodge diesel with a cummins 6cyl in my town just like that. Hes running a huge turbo off like a semi with the wastegate welded shut, NO WASTEGATE! It pushes about 45psi into a stock block and makes like 450hp and about 1100lb of tourque if i remember correctly. It runs low 13's and weighs 6500lbs.

Re:Got my ass handed to me...

Dane

Re:Got my ass handed to me...

Re:Got my ass handed to me...
