]2eDeYe Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I was at the machine shop yesterday, there was a sign on the counter that read. Engine horsepower should never exceed driver IQ. :lol: Quote Link to comment

Stony Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Well we made it to the dyno but never got it loaded up. Worked on wiring and it took longer than expected and the next guy show up so we are just going to take it to the track and setup the rest there. Its real close as it is so it will be fun. Here are some video Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well we fixed the voltage drop problem. but that didnt fix the miss. it looks like im leaning out. going to have to upgrade the pump and oh yea get the converter restalled, ITS WAY OFF!!!!! And the best run of the day a 12.2 at 140MPH!!!! no supra jokes please :lol_hitting: Quote Link to comment
kks_john Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 are you leaning out for sure? one of our race cars at 1000hp had some small amount of high freq interference from the alternator. It did the same sort of cutting out in the higher revs. it charged fine but was just starting to go bad. might want to check that out if you are stumped. the high freq ended up messing with the ignition system we were using.

Stony Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 yea relatively sure that it is a lean problem... the fuel pressure is dropping off. I'm installing a fuel damper and downsizing my fuel system. current i have 1 -8 that splits into 2 -8 lines. going to downsize to -6 at the split if the damper doesn't help. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 pretty nice that first run looks like you intended to take off slow. Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 All the launches were very slow... painfully slow seems like it takes forever for boost to come on. labor day weekend we will be back out with 100 shot to spool the turbo and should get up and go. may get 155mph + Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 That is damn fast for a Datsun Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I like the burnout vids :D I know they are pointless but damn they are cool. Can't wait to see more vids :) Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 WELL BOYS THE NOS DID The TRICK!!!!! 6000 rpm and 22 PSI on the brake This fucker is gonna rock!!! Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Well after many hours of troubleshooting my ignition miss/ leaning out problem we finally got all the issues worked out. turned out to be an intermittent igniter that would start dropping a cylinder when it got hot. anyways. we made 610+ rwhp and if you factor in approx 30% drivetrain loss for the powerglide, dana 60 rearend and 31 inch tires that approx 780 crank hp at 9K rpm with 28 PSI. we are ultra conservative on the timing and i think there is allot more to come but the rest will be done at the track. should have some video by wednesday Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Well here are some pics of the engine in it Quote Link to comment

Stony Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well had a very good night tonight. Started out slow wanted to get a feel for it but by the 5th run i was ready to put the hammer to the floor. Best run of the night was a 9.33 @ 146 mph video is loading of one of the almost full boost launches. Will psot when its done. Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 First of the nine second runs. this was the first one that the turbo really started to spool. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Wasted those hondas :lol: Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 yeah i was gonna say, the hondas are in second gear when hes leaving and hes still kicks the crap outta them. that would suck watching him coming and not being able to do anything. Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 hmm when is it gonna stop going faster? under 9 secs? and whats with the turbo spool delay launch? the announcer mentions it. Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 The announcer was a fucking idiot. it was test n tune and he kept talking shit about why my reaction time was so slow all day. I was letting the other car go and running like a 3 second reaction letting the turbo spool and watching how long it would take. He knows nothing about cars and couldn't even read sponsorship stuff i had on the back. :lol: Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Here are some good pics of the weekend Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 That last picture isnt hinting that you hit the wall is it? Sure hope not. Jason Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 that launch and go looks like it matches the wall hit. looks like your off to the body shop then the decal shop :( Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yea the last 4 series shots are of me heading right at the camera man. he was hangin over the guard rail and just barely got out of the way in time. it pushed in the rt rear 1/4 and scuffed the rt rear wheels thats about it. nothing major.
