coltboostin Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Steve Wilson and Chris Wright at Pro Car in Akron did the tuning this year on my car. I do need to turn the wick up, however since I blew the damn thing up its gonna be a minute before that happens haha. 4k to go 10s, who needs to spend 80k on a GTR? As I am an inch away from pulling the trigger on a dirty cheap GTR :no: Salvage title....so I am waiting on the "research." Different car though-really better in every way. BUT to me, it would be a nice DD, never a race car. The way I approach this hobby is just that- its just a hobby. I like going fast-and I am a cheap bastard. So my build usually follow suit.

kirks5oh Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 who needs to spend 80k on a GTR? while its absolutely amazing what can be done when someone knows a platform/engine combo, and has the fabrication skills he has, and has a ton of parts laying around-----if you have to ask the above question, you just don't get it.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 No I get it, I am a fan of the GTR. I was being a smartass in reference to an argument that OP was involved with in another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well that did not last long. Considering what Vlad, Boz, and Jimmy are bringing to the table, I have to bring more. "Digs into box of goodies..." New Goals for 2013-HP record for Eagle Rods (LOL). Minimums-700 dynojet HP. 150 traps Goal 800 Dynojet HP-160 traps, 9.9999 Stay tuned...:ugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thats a great question actually. The changed the book after I made 708 in 2005 (literally changed the catalog) and I have not kept track since. People generally dont run them past 600whp-so we will see.

Got-Boost? Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 4k to go 10s, who needs to spend 80k on a GTR? The answer is no one, you can buy them used in the $50k's...

WheelSpin Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Whats the current record on Eagle Rods? I believe the current h-beam record is 866whp by Ebrahim Al.Gattan. Love this build man, if you decide to part ways with that turbo setup let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheelSpin Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 On an Eagle H beam? He has GRP AL rods.... He went aluminum after he broke 4 sets of h-beams lol. I'm not sure which rod bolt he was using though. "Okay first I made 760 WHP with horrible wheel spin I was running 4 strap on the dyno, we lowered the pressure insted of 20 psi went to 10 psi made 780 and again with horrible wheel spin this is with MH 24.5X8.5X15 drag radial slicksThen I put another side two strap the car made 866WHP 18 degree of timing over 40 psi and before reaching 8000 rpm I broke my mainly connecting*rod." http://www.dsmlink.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64659&highlight=rod+breaking Edit: I guess he actually made 873 on a 7175.

coltboostin Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 He was breaking Manley Rods. He went from Manly- to Paulter. He ordered Eagles but I do not thing they actually made it into any motors. The guy likes to throw money around. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 UPDATE. After some more hooliganry-I left the car at the Grassroots compound so we could toss a LSD insert int he trans. He calls me a week later. "Car was running, just died-sounds like it has no compression! I was just moving it in the dirveway!" I go over, have a beer, and determined that something is indeed very wrong-tow it home. Upon inspection, the timing had jumped a full 8 teeth! Yikes! I set it back up, and spun it by hand. No contact. Cranked over the motor with no fuel, has compression, but it sounds like a dead hole. Test and find 5 psi in #1. Nothing like breaking **** doing nothing. Take head off-exhaust valves slightly bent. Winter is good for something-down time. So I put a head together with likely more work than any other head I have done-even tried some experimental port work I have never done before. If this head does not flow a ton of air at low boost levels, I will never do this much work to a head again!! Pics coming soon. NOTE-I found the tensioner on the car looks like it may be non OEM. All OEM tensioners I have seen have 3 numbers cast into the tension- this does not, and appeared to be of a different casting. After some "testing"- I am 909% sure it is bad. Testing consisted of several compression cycles-a rust OEM tensioner stayed stiff at full extension, while the "new" assumed aftermarket has about an 1/8 inch of axial free play. After seeing this-I dont think I would ever put a non OEM tensioner on a car again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10phone2 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm sure you will get it back together way better than before. We're pretty much on the same boat. After taking two weeks off and coming back to the car, I decided the work I had done wasn't worth a shit and should go in the trash. There is a big difference between getting close and having it done right. So the plans are 8.8 rear end, rebuild the 2jz, and send the rear off to get welded correctly.

coltboostin Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Trans refreshed to Zip Tie/Rivera racing specs-Old school Slow boy LSD installed. Trans and axles in-Stock ported IM in, TB modded- Exhaust Manifold/6262 back on. Car should fire again this weekend to be dialed in with the new cams. I set the car up to be a test pig for a current intake manifold test. The Stock TB is ported to 70mm, and a 70mm S90 is ready to go. What the test looks like thus far Stock IM, stock TB, 2.5 pipe. Then 3inch cold side, then 70mm TB and 3inch pipe JMF DRAG with stock TB and 2.5, then 70mm, then 70+3inch pipe Same with a Venom. I have been approached to do other manifolds as well, but my time and patience level will be the deciding factor. I have not seen a viable test by a non bias party for current intake manifolds on the market, or the much debated 2.5 vs. 3inch cold side pipe. Car will be set up at 30psi for all test-and if I have the 67mm back I will do the test with a 6766. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 With the 6262 and SMIM, 700 turned up. With the 6766-Until it windows the block! I will stop the party whenever its getting near 600 ft lbs, so I am hoping for 8 something.... My only concern is the smallish intercooler and small tube exhaust manifold.

coltboostin Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Excited to see some passes out of this car in 2013!! Yours as well! I am sure we will be in a few brackets together. You running SFWD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I run Forced Induction Sport, dont have the bankroll to compete with the likes of Rob Morse and some of the others in SFWD honestly. Not very fun stepping into the ring knowing you're going to lose already haha. His car goes 8.7's, totally different class of cars. FIS is the most competative class though in my oipnion, it has he biggest racer count out of the turbo classes. Hell last year a 10.8 sohc Honda won the class over an evo that has gone 9s in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
