Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 
if you would have read the thread instead of just watching the vid you would realize that this is the video of the run where i blew my motor. i shreaded the wrist pin right out of the piston and bent and snapped a rod, throwing it through the front and back of the block, and cutting right through the girdle.

best time was the run right before i blew... 14.25 @ 99.18 (in my sig)

just read... i was pretty happy with the car and the times. it probably wouldnt have blown if i hadnt accidently reved it to 8500 twice.

i know that.. im just sayin.. at 10psi? it shouldve been quicker than that. id expect a more better time than that..

the 14.8 run...it was bad...but fun. this is the first run with more advance, thus the tire spinage.

That is some good work right there. Me, I don't think you can be truly a backyard mechanic until you've got some bent or broken rods hanging up on the wall. Sort of a trial by fire type of deal.

I wish i still had pictures of my VW bug rods from a motor I built when I was 14 - Note to users: a high lift cam and stock valvesprings is not advised. ::)
