Cool, good info Coach

Id like to hit the track around Sept/Oct and see what this $hitbox runs on low boost.

Then a high boost pass for fun to see what it traps...

 

I have asked this before but preload i still don't get.

How high can you get rpm with out rolling? I can't see how the hand brake could hold high rpm with out rolling.

 

I do not use a brake when I preload. Maybe some for the high power guys might. I have not had the experiance where it was needed. I am still NA.

To oversimplify...sit there burning your clutch just before you launch.

This is not for a long period of time so the clutch should not be truely burning. It will apply some pressure to the tranny prior to hitting it with full power.

Here is a sample to try that will help you understand.
1. Lay your hand on a table
2. Sit a hammer on top your hand
3. Push down on it.

Now!!!
4. Lay your hand on a table
5. Hold a hammer about 24" above your hand
6. Swing the hammer as hard as you can...smashing your hand.

Steps 1-3 is preloading

Steps 4-6 is breaking an axle.

Let me know how the test works out for anyone that tries it.

 

ya my 28" DRs are M&H 275/45/18. its only a 9.5"tread tire. theres a nice 16" rim 28" slick available from MT i think thats a 10.5. Thats what you should roll Alberto if you have bbk/brembos

 

Alberto, that is the tire I run on the street on my personal Z. They are pretty good, but don't expect miracles at the drag strip with an 18" tire with little sidewall.

 

lol, sounds like a regular launch for me

 

I dont expect miracles, I just want to be able to use SOME of 1st gear.

If you dont mind posting how muich power do you make and when can you hook up? Feel free to PM me...thanks for your feedback.

 

750whp DD (~850 dynojet). 1st is near useless, but 2nd hooks rather well if I roll into it. If I bang 1->2, it is straight to limiter in 2nd.

My car is lowered and I have yet to bring camber back into spec. This will be performed in the near future and I suspect will help a bit.

Here is a video from a couple weeks ago... this was my first time to the track in this car, so no making fun. I made 2 passes total, and went 11.0@138 on the 18" wheel street setup. Found a few things I need to improve on, and will be headed back soon. VIDEO 6mb

 

Damn car sounds nasty!

What turbo kit? 60ft?

That car will trap much higher not spinning as much

 

glad to hear you are thinking about running the bucket sometime in the near future. hit me up so I can witness your times on "low" boost.

 

Slip posted here might be one of the 2 passes.

I hope so, it should have a lot left in it. The sound is so so.. I am still not sure if I like it. I just put 4" burns stainless exhaust... doesn't sound nearly as good as it does on 2JZ haha

1.9 60' , single GT42R turbo.

 

^Lovely just lovely. Makes me want to clean my engine bay.

 

Damn Hal that is a beast a$$ DD

Whats the spool like? Full boost at what rpm? VERY CLEAAAAAN car....

 

Just watched the vid.. very nice Hal.

 

Slow Junk Hal...Slow Junk. 2 things if you want to actually go fast.

1) Big Cubes
2) No, not big ( . )( . ) even though that would make the ride more enjoyable. You're still missing this key ingredient...



What are you waiting for?

 

Hal any other pics of the car with th ebumper off or other angles of the turbo position. I dont think i have ever seen pics of that car before.

Do you still have all you accessories with that turbo? Thats the size single I am looking for!
