project_850 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Didn't really come as a surprise A couple of friendly runs on a deserted rural airport runway with a friend and his car: We were pretty even from 1st to the top of 4th with both cars running 18psi, but after a couple of those runs he decided to show me what 2-step launch control and his 26psi track tune looked like. We both put on our Mickey Thompsons and prepared to give it hell. By the middle of second gear it felt like I was going backwards His mods: t3/t04e 0.48 A/R turbo light porting on the intake manifold Evo tubular exhaust manifold -> 3" back 48mm Tial external wastegate AEM methanol injection @ 9 psi + built bottom end My mods: iPD Stage III @ 18psi Aquamist methanol injection @ 11 psi + iPD bar + plate intercooler A/C condenser/compressor delete RIP kit iPD 3" TBE 18T w/ 760 angle flange iPD HD CBV R manifold

ACES70 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Just tell him your eight way adjustable leather seats weigh you down
Fishey Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 t3/t04e 0.48 A/R turbo Seems like a small turbo to be running 26lbs effectively or he has a really weak A/R on a larger 50trimish sized turbo..
TyConn Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 it's funny because i was on the highway yesterday dicking around with a tiberon and we were dicking around till 70 and then i floored it for a second (100mph zone of course) and i heard a HUGE whine from the tiberon, a chirp, and then it flew past me as flames blew out of the tailpipe. i was like WHAT THE MOTHER FUCK.
project_850 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Posted August 13, 2010 Just tell him your eight way adjustable leather seats weigh you down Nah this guy is always quick to give me a hand whenever I need it. Fast is fast and he does good work t3/t04e 0.48 A/R turbo Seems like a small turbo to be running 26lbs effectively or he has a really weak A/R on a larger 50trimish sized turbo.. I believe it's the latter.. it's funny because i was on the highway yesterday dicking around with a tiberon and we were dicking around till 70 and then i floored it for a second (100mph zone of course) and i heard a HUGE whine from the tiberon, a chirp, and then it flew past me as flames blew out of the tailpipe. i was like WHAT THE MOTHER FUCK. I don't mind Tiburons really. Hyundai has come a long way. I'm not one to belittle them because I know very little about those cars, but I'm impressed at how well his transmission, axles and open diff have held up for the kind of power he's making. In fact, it may have just been his conrods that he upgraded.. Nobody really expects his car to be fast in as much as nobody suspects a thirteen year old Volvo station wagon to keep up with a G37 or blow the doors off a Mazdaspeed 3. I'm sure that someone somewhere on the interwebs on a Mustang forum started a thread entitled: "Lost to a Volvo Station Wagon.." :lol:
TRACStar Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 I'm sure that someone somewhere on the interwebs on a Mustang forum started a thread entitled: "Lost to a Volvo Station Wagon.." Trust me it doesn't matter what kind of car, they keep it quiet when they lose to a Volvo.
project_850 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Posted August 13, 2010 Trust me it doesn't matter what kind of car, they keep it quiet when they lose to a Volvo. :lol: Come to think about it, that's probably true!
AverageVolvo Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 I was on top of the world, mashing on 370Z Wrx Sti G37 etc... Then a Scion Tc with a Gt35 Murdered me. He claimed 450 @ the wheels. But he was one of those kids with money that can barely change oil And when I challenged him in the canyons he backed out. Mainly a straight line guy I guess.
cheapwagon Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 Does he have a build thread on any of the forums? I am currently working on a Tib with my brother in-law so this is very relevant to my interests.
