Damn that sounds mean! I want to see what it will do on another 10psi

danz · « **Reply #33 on:** August 16, 2010, 03:41:18 PM »

well its got a 4 bar, so maybe another 20psi??

Too much camber. you're leaving a lot of traction on the table.

Time for some Foowee seat belt limiting straps.

Nope time for a proper aliment! Find out how much the nose lifts under hard load, lift same amount on aliment rack and set camber.

your setup has me rethinking what i was going to do.. was leaning towards w2a for a while, but then leaned away because of the price.

Problem I see with that is that it lifts to a point and then settles back some, I would think you would set it at about the point that it settles back, and it should be taught for pretty much the whole run, set the camber to 0 at that point and good to go.

That's what shock valving is for, but nearly no one does that for these cars.

Foowee's method doesn't mean you fail to align the car correctly, but it does band-aid the shock valving problem. Ultimately, you buy a $$$ boost controller and break some transmissions or you settle for having a nasty streetcar that does alright at the track.

danz · « **Reply #40 on:** August 17, 2010, 12:53:59 PM »

this car has the worst suspension ever.

skunk2 drag coils in the rear, on blown stock struts.

chopped oem springs up front on kyb gr2's that are of unknown age, but seem to work alright.

needs an alignment for sure. plus it has no traction bar and the bushings are of unknown quality. i havent looked. but i suspect they could use replacement.

it needs help coming out of the hole thats for sure.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #41 on:** August 17, 2010, 09:28:59 PM »

Well, keep us updated or we'll hunt you down and kick you in the pee pee.

danz · « **Reply #42 on:** August 17, 2010, 10:05:10 PM »

for sure, i plan to.

do you think it has too much positive camber or too much negative camber?

the front is only chopped 1.5 coils, so its not a huge drop... maybe 1.5in, max.

the list of things to buy is going to go like this...

cage, 24.5's, then its a toss up between a 74mm PBT tb or some coilovers, most likely Progress....

just moved in to a new place thats about $400 a month more expensive so i got a lot less loot to play with

dvst8r · « **Reply #43 on:** August 17, 2010, 10:19:38 PM »

When the front end lifts it looks like it is going well into positive camber.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #44 on:** August 19, 2010, 12:45:33 PM »

Really?

danz · « **Reply #45 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:40:21 PM »

really.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #46 on:** August 19, 2010, 06:10:33 PM »

FUCK YEAH!!

danz · « **Reply #47 on:** August 19, 2010, 06:43:42 PM »

i might chop off another coil and see how she sits. wind down the coils in the rear a bit too.. i dont think the rake is really helping much

And it toes in quite a bit. However I'd assume it's toed the hell out at the line if he knows what he's doing. Regardless sounds like it's a killer setup for the money. 10's shouldn't be that hard to reach.

danz · « **Reply #49 on:** August 20, 2010, 12:33:56 PM »

i havent touched the alignment since i got the car. it really does need an alignment.

maybe i should do that. but even then im going to destroy 11.49 next time out so i dont think its going to matter w/o a cage.

danz · « **Reply #50 on:** August 20, 2010, 06:24:12 PM »

i thought this pic was funny and you all would get a laugh out of it.

check out the gap on the bracket i fabbed up. filled that bitch real nice.

danz · « **Reply #51 on:** August 28, 2010, 03:33:09 PM »

well good news and bad news.

bad news is something let go in 4th at 7500rpm.

good news is the car felt INSANE.

it was spinning 2nd gear, and not hooking back up... so, new slicks are needed bad.

hopefully its just a head gasket. the rad overflowed a lot of coolant into the ebay and a lot came out the exhaust. might be a cracked sleeve. we will see...

but more good news is my friend darin (hes got a vitara front mount50 trim setup, makes 480whp on C16) ran 10.5 @ 137, with a 110mph 1/8th. so congrats to him with now the 4th fastest street SOHC build ever.

Dope, was that the mani you migged, also? In the ef/ed?

danz · « **Reply #53 on:** August 28, 2010, 03:47:42 PM »

yeah thats the setup. car weighs about 1810lb w/o driver.

his shit is bad ass.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #54 on:** August 28, 2010, 03:54:04 PM »

The only way the setup could be any cooler is if it had a fluxcore mani and brake clean charge pipes! Still its the fucking shit with numbers like that!

Hope it didnt crack a sleeve....

danz · « **Reply #56 on:** August 30, 2010, 11:20:24 PM »

and if u wanted to know... making 450whp on pump is a great way to spend a few hundred dollars.

lets see, one new piston, and one trip to the machine shop for an overbore!! lol.

oh ya and new rings too... doh!

Teg2boo · « **Reply #57 on:** August 31, 2010, 12:12:33 AM »

Damn that sucks! I think everyone on this forum (that have a turbo'ed car) broke a sleeve this summer lol

Why is that cylinder look so rusted? Looks like it was sitting in your backyard for months...

theidealone · « **Reply #58 on:** August 31, 2010, 12:24:47 PM »

Yea, I broke a sleeve too. LOL. Mine rusted out that much, if not worse, because I left it sitting for a few days, before I got around to yanking the head.

jabberwock · « **Reply #59 on:** August 31, 2010, 12:28:09 PM »

I haven't broken a sleeve, but I'm also not pushing my engine nearly as hard as anyone on this board.
