Lords of Death Forums Lords of Death Forums LoD General Discussion Well, the car is getting there.

Well guys, its getting to where I want it. Still having a few little issues but what do you expect when you build your first bottom end and have almost no miles on the new engine.
First time to the track was a week ago last friday. I drove 84 miles to the track on an engine that had not even been broken in. All I had done was start it up for 10 minutes and then change the oil. I developed a boost leak ( vac line to the blow off valve came off ) and I could not change the boost. I was stuck at 16 psi which is low, not even in the efficiency range of my turbo. I could not break out of the 14's. I discovered my problem when I got home and fixed the issues.
So, I headed out last Friday to the track, Changed fuels as well. No longer running regular gas, now I am running E-85. E-85 is about 30% less powerful than gas so it takes 30% more fuel which means my injectors, my new ones are already too small but I can at least run what I am for boost which is fine, I have more power to make at the current level of boost and fuel.
Here are 5 videos, 1 idle, 4 from the track. And then a few pictures, couple of my car and then a couple of the car that I am supposed to race this Friday if the weather holds up. Hopefully I can walk this $500,000 super car <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> His best is 11.8 in the quarter, mine is currently 12.3 but I have some tuning to do and dont see why I could not walk him by Friday.

Very nice E looked like you jumped slow off the line in that third film but still took the win. I was like na he won't beat the muscle car <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> nice job bro.

*NT*

Well, I spun quite a bit off the line, the track was getting cold, it was about 70* outside. Add in that I was on and off the gas trying to get the tires to hook ( AWD ) and he got me by .1 on reaction time and another .1 on the launch but my top end made up a lot of that difference. He basically had 2 tenth of a second head start and I still got him by a long shot.
I also need to get the car fully tuned, when I first showed up to the track the car had no tune and my damned laptop battery was dead and I forgot my charger so I could not tune it anymore. I am shooting for mid 11's this friday if at all possible and 120mph+ traps.
I think it might be time for 4 slicks hehe.

Why would I do that?
If I had the headlight in the car, I would be sucking up all kinds of 140* air into the engine, which is not good for racing, colder denser air = more power. Turbos heat up the air as they compress it which is why the inter cooler is needed, last thing I would want is 140* air being compressed and made hotter, good way to preignite in the engine and pop it at the aggressive tune I am going for.
This picture will explain why I have the headlight out. All I need to do is fab up a block off plate for the intake and the engine bay to make it even more useful.

Very smart E <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Looks to be a nice build. I am a long time lurker on this forum. I have a high interest in import cars myself. I have a 95 integra GSR running only 13 lbs of boost right now. Would like to know more about your build send me a pm.

Have not been to the dyno yet, car only has 400 miles on the new engine. Might hit the dyno sometime next month to see what she puts down, should be somewhere in the 500 range.

your missing a headlight

Good thing you noticed. You must be a Detective IRL or something huh?
Oh and its YOU'RE moron.
