fixed everything. Didnt have to take it all apart.
Did street tunning tonight. started building boost at 2900. 8lbs by 3500 and 11 by a little under 4k. **** everybody who said it wouldnt spool!! The car is interesting to drive. You have to shift the tranny super fast (even if you arent clutching fast) to get it to go into gear correctly. The car is LOUD!! Like way too loud. I am going to have to get some new resonators, and junk the PFS muffler. I will run an eletric cutout on the DP when i want to be loud. I am going to put the carpet back in the car. Too hot and loud without it. I need to make a shifterboot as well. it is stronger at 10lbs of boost then my t04s at 16lbs... that says somethin right there.. |
Sounds pretty good Bobbie. Which turbos did you go with again?
And when are you going to the strip? I want to see the beast run. |
Shitfire Bobby it was a good weekend for the two of us. I got my car running this weekend too. I am still going through the breakin and sorting out a few bugs (I had to rewire the cooling fan cause I am retarded and I have a small coolant leak from a plug on the electric WP and I have to get a new inline amp that can handle more than 100amp)
I have probably a good day of buttoning things up and I also have a day finishing putting the blets, vacuum pump, alternator, steering wheel, driveshaft and throttle cable. Not a whole lot. I am taking a 4 day weekend this weekend and I hope I can get it done by the end of the weekend so I can take it to the track the following weekend for some shakedowns. I have a video I just need to download it which I will be doing tonight. |
I have custom borg warners... I dont think there is any particular name for them.

Well guys one week until I get my 15 minutes of fame on national TV. My buddy running his bike on PINKS in Orlando airs on Speed next Wednesday night. There should be some previews and trailers running after tonights episdoe!!
Apparently the producer has said that I will be highlighted and shown quite a bit on the show cause I talk ****. Big surprise there. They are supposed to be putting my name up on the screen but if they dont just look for the skinny dude with glasses drinking beer and talking **** like it is my job. I havent seen the episode so they may make us look like bigger dumbasses than we are but oh well such is life. Put it this way Elvis makes an appearance in a red seqin (sp) jump suit!! This is actually my first 15 minutes of fame, the Pinks season finale has us in it in Indy at IRP. The show is negotiating with Speed for season 2 shortly and if they get the second season they have already asked to have the LS1 RX7 go against the boys from Chicago that we raced in the season finale along with my buddy in his Foxbody (that episode is going to tape at MIR in our own backyard!!). |
willing to loose your car?
|
No it will be for money. Probably around a grand.

|
So you didnt make it up? Hey if you want those tires let me know I will be home all day today and tomorrow
|
i might be able to swing by tomorrow at like 4 or 5.
Ill give you a call. I packed all my **** up, and got ready to head out in the morning. But, before i went to bed i looked at the forcast, and it wasnt worth driving up there to get rained on, especally with an untested car. |
Yep racing got pushed back to Sunday. Sounded like Chris Efantis got knocked out round 1 by the Titan car.
|

damn rainy weather is postponing my damn tunning!
|
It was horrible this last weekend. I couldnt go for a ride so I ripped the rear out of the car now I am trying to get the axles apart
|
I went and did second gear donuts in a parkinglot ahaha
20lbs tonight. I turned it up to 13 last night. The 3-4 extra pounds were VERY noticeable, I cant wait for 20 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I'm going to try to film the tunning. |
I cant get the axles out of the outer housing. Stupid C clip is holding on to it with Hercules like forces.
|
On the stock rear end?
Yeah it can be a pain, but try pusing against the green cv joint housing witha pry bar in a popping motion. Just pusing really hard wolnt get them out, trust me ive spent a long time figuring this out. You gotta just pop on them quick and hard, should come right out. If i dont have work sat because of the rain, I think i will be payin you a lil visit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
I called and left a message.
hit me up |
Finally no more tire tradin drama.
lol The old lady was none to happy I spent 1 1/2 hours bullshitting about cars though hahaha |
I was amazed that your dog was so well behaved...
|
Yeah she is a good dog. She was worn out from playing with the frisbee earlier in the day. She slept all the way to NJ too.
Tough life being a dog |
