Scott's manifold and turbo bolts were loose at the end of the tune. Sewell's estimation was it needed cam, ignition and maybe more port work to go further. I think he just needs to take a chisel to the exhaust ports and triple his jet size.
Scott realized it was loose when we were unstrapping the car, he goes look at this, and he wiggled the downpipe about 3 inches and i seen the turbo shimmy back and forth. I'm not sure that it would have mattered, the thing was just choked up, I did some bowl work and a gasket match on the head, it was fowing real nice at lower boost levels(15LBS), but the power per lbs of boost really started to drop from there. We did up the jet size, we threw a .062(roughly 150 shot) in there, you can only put so much shit in an overflowing toilet.
How much of that horse was caused by the shot.....
I don't remember the exact numbers but it was maxed out on boost in the 375 range,
Oh and Im not taking anything away from you guys great#'s and glad to see people throwing the bottle on those Pistons.
These damn things are tough as hell, It amazed me, My machinest buddy that was hanging out about shits his pants when i told him they were a cast piston with all of that boost and spray. Running 2 power adders with a polluted combustion camber is just asking for trouble, but they took it like a champ.
Congrats, That should be a mid ten second ride like that.
It is always nice to hold a record even if it is only going to be for a few days, or weeks.
I'm not to worried about the record, i really don't expect it to last long, I have another customer that i'm finishing his build that will probably break it in the next week or so,. The fact that we did it with a basic build is really amazing, i'm guessing this is also the highest for a stock sohc vtec cam, i think that it if it is, it will stand for awhile. Using the stock cam for this kinda power is stupid, and very counterproductive.
Scotts got a ton of vids, when the button gets hit the run is basically over, hitting the kit at 5k, reving to 7200. I doubt they'll be very exciting. I'm just glad to see the car made the 3hr drive home after it was all said and done.
I love boost and spray, I'm curious to see what my car does when i hit the direct port kit on 50lbs :yes: ;D
