My "minimalist" turbo crx **just ran 12.9: video**

Re: My "minimalist" turbo crx
An original Y-49 car, and you didn't take it down to bare metal? Bro, you do know that car is going to try and kill you at this point?
FYI, I know -----all about D16Y5 combustion chambers, but if it's remotely like the Y8 then 9.5 degrees @ 10 psi with your CR is too much timing.

I'd say you know quite a bit about the y5 head... y5 and y8 share the same head casting "p2j". The difference is the roller cam follower rocker assembly and cam. If that's still too much timing, care to help a brotha out? I've spiked it with 1.2gal 100oct unleaded with 4-5gal 91oct, so between 92-94oct. I'd like to be able to run straight 91oct, and not worry about timing.
I just went for some rippers, and 4th gear creeps to 14psi I'm seriously going to need to port this ex housing/wastegate flapper soon. But it HAULED something wicked. They always say that it feels fastest right before the big-bada-boom...

I think when I bring it back to life I might actually have it painted Y-49.

FYI, at 7.5 psi the Y8 was pretty much indifferent to timing. 10-15 degrees ddn't change temps or affect power, so I just left it at 10 and didn't worry about it. For some reason Y8's gather a critical mass of air in the 10 psi range and need a freight train of timing pulled out. *shrug*

I'm curious, why don't you make these ones any more? It seems to me to be much more efficient than a standard log... Cost?
Thanks to Chris for the wheels, and also for introducing me to HMT, back in the day. Refurbished those valves for you today, let me know when you need them.
