Went To Englishtown Raceway

I went to the track Friday, trying to best my 13.48 run on street tires. I managed to cut a 2.21 60' (my best 60' being a 2.13 when the car was stock)

My 1st run i ran a 13.58 @ 106mph with a 2.4 60'

My 2nd run i ran a 14.37 @ 103mph with a 2.3 60' (Blew my Cold side pipe off just past the 1000 ft mark)

My 3rd run i ran a 13.27 @ 106mph with a 2.2 60'

I had an hour between my 2nd and 3rd runs, and the temperature dropped tremendously which helped out. I'm trying to source an R manifold from Erie, which they never seem to have any in stock. I want to get my steelies widened for slicks, and also want to install my N2MB WOT box, I would really like to break into the 12's with the 16t, and then i'm done with this setup. I'm eventually looking at either jans setup from ATP Turbo, with their manifold w/ external gate and STGE 3 .50 trim or just go with a 19t or K24 for drivability.

No passenger seat, no carpet, no rear seat, empty trunk. Running 100LL Blue Aviation Fuel @ 21psi with the 16t, street tires, ported manifold, bigger TB, ST tune (just for enabling higher boost, boost is controlled off my MBC, i have no BCS plugged into my harness) BOSCH Coppers gapped at .023 Block-off plate/HKS SSQV

Well carpets probably weigh 15lbs tops, and passenger seat can't weigh more than 50lbs so weight savings of 65lbs doesn't seem to much different from stock.

Yea that 18G wheel imploded on me, so back to stock 16T wheel, never buy turbo parts off of my moms butt

Sorry i didn't impress chris lol

Well still a really good time, but I would like to see full weight + regular gas run, I mean still really really nice times !

(don't forget your back seat :lol: )

but how did the 18G wheel implode ? or how did it fit on there when the shaft diameter is different then the td04 ones ?

Not bad, the secret to running the best times on a 16T is a L gearbox if your on slicks/drag radials.

I have an M56H with L gears, but retained the metal shift forks > plastic, this is was on Bridgestone T/A street tires, im not gonna run slicks/DRs until i have my wotbox/2-step in

but how did the 18G wheel implode ? or how did it fit on there when the shaft diameter is different then the td04 ones ?

I gave everything to my buddy joe to do, he has a turbo bubble that runs high 9's and had he did it for me, it was fine for awhile til it started making a whining sound instead of a nice hissing sound

wanna be there for the rematch???!!? :lol:

3-way between me you and chris in the bullit?

yeah, 18G doesn't fit on a td04 turbine shaft, that and i'm pretty sure he didn't have a high speed balancer ? seemed like a waste of time completely IMO . . .

NJ CT RI and where are we all meeting ? Swedish Car Day ?

....clutch started slipping last night at 14psi....fml big time. So much for the dyno tune I had arranged :( That money goes to a sachs 707 possibly??

I would go with an ACT street disc, or Clutchhouse if you want big power in the future, the 707 really isn't heavy enough to keep you aware of the power. 6-puck is where its at ;)

Do you have a dyno tuner around apart from EPL? I looked into them but tony wants too much money, i found a place in jersey that will dyno tune for a flat 600 dollars, which gives you base street maps and 3 other maps (racing etc.)

This is the owners car, they mostly tune Bmw's but they run off the same Bosch motronic system as us.
