nice video

 

Whats the best and/or average 1/4 time with the sts kit on our cars?

 

your 60' is a huge factor most people on here have a hard time doing anything better then a 2.xx if you get some drs and can do like a 1.7 it will make all the difference... most of the time people think if you do a 2.0 60 and run say 12.8 that if you do a 1.7 60 youre going to run a 12.5 which is not true usually when you drop your 60 it doubles the amount taken off your et... so get those launches down!

 

Nice G. What's the reason for selling?

 

going to the g was a downgrade in power i had a super nice 10 sec sti.... thought i was done with power but im not i was going to lsx swap the g with a monster turbo but id rather not its a heavy platform so im looking to get a c5 vette

 

True... I now know what to expect at the track when I go....lol thanks

 

Shop called....Car is running and I should have her back Tues.......Back to the track in Sept.

 

if you can borrow some wheels with drag radials on them it will make a hell of a difference

 

DANG....I am tired of delays..still no car. Maybe "Thursday" / today. I 3 weeks overdue and have missed one track event (sears point) in the process. I HATE WAITING.

 

Can you give a run down of what you will be running when you get your car back (sorry if you already went over this)?

 

Well I got the car back...for an hour. There is something bouncing around in or near the turbo fan. It sounds like a piece of thin metal ticking off the edge of a fan blade but only above 1500 rpm. I suspect a piece of the cat is in there....ARRRRGGGGG!
before the noise started out back,......the car is a smooth as silk. I think the precision balanced crank with all the light forged internals helps with that but IDK. Shifting in the cd009 tranny is a dream. This thing shifts like a knife in warm butter now. I'll keep everyone posted on the noise out back.....back to the shop today.

 

Get that piece of metal out of your exhaust. The last thing you want is your turbine blade damaged. That's already happened to me, and I wouldn't want to see you with the same problem.

 

No doubt.....I dodged a bullet when the stock cats blew....I ended up with a small nick in a blade but no other damage......I really can't afford a new turbo right now with all the $$$$$$ I dropped on the new motor and tranny. Thanks- Jim

 

Bad news...turbo is going bad. Last year I blew chunks of cat through it and with the engine going boom this year the bushings are sloppy and shaft bent resulting in the blades hitting the housing at certain RPM's. I am having it rebuilt and improved for up to 15 psi....-Jim

 

If you are paying for a re-build then why not just add more and upgrade the
turbo. I'm telling you the 60 0 trim is just to small if you want to run 15psi.

 

I am. The guys at Turbo Enginering Corp are building me a custom turbo to handle my PSI needs.

Here is there link.....they are local for me.

Cool.. Any detail on the turbo?

 

Not yet...they will tear it down this week and discuss performance options with me at that time. I'll keep the STS crew posted. -Jim
