thezguy Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Any guesses on the RWHP number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 From the trap speed, its probably around 750-800 to the tire. Car weighs 2930 without me in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistafosta Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 IIRC it was 5.5qts. Not enough... obviously. All the pictures are on the website. I would NOT trust an F body pan without upgraded baffling in it, regardless of the added oil. Once you start to sustain hard acceleration, things change drastically. I destroyed an engine from wheelieing too much on the stock pan setup. Its extremely easy to relocate your pickup and do your own baffles like I did. Just extend the pickup tube and plate the bottom. I still don't like the improved baffle since it leaves the pickup in the wrong place (Front of the sump area) and in situations like ours that is not a good idea. For safety, I added an accusump, which was not hard to do. It hides perfectly in the fenderwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Can you give a pic of the Accusump inside the fender? That's on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Couple short videos I took before pulling the turbo and sending it off. Car was idling, and I shut it off. This shows the abnormal noise I'm hearing on shut-down. Still spins pretty well, but it was starting to flutter and contact the housing under boost. http://vid592.photobucket.com/albums/tt4/steepss/SidwayZ/VID_20140930_153655672_zpsfr9iyawf.mp4 Also, here's a little shaft play (and screaming) for you lonely blokes. http://vid592.photobucket.com/albums/tt4/steepss/SidwayZ/VID_20140930_154133995_zpsr5k7rccc.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torqen2k1 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Did you purchase that turbo from huronspeed? I purchased the v2 kit a while ago when the group buy was takin. But I also bought the 7875 turbonetics from them. Hope that it's still under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistafosta Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 This is the only picture I got. I had to remove the fender for ease of install, but it fits back on without an issue. There are two bolts up top and one in the bottom mount. Its rock solid, car has about 12k miles with it mounted there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnjdragracing Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 What size tire were you using at the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 What size tire were you using at the track? 28x10.5 MT ET Drag on an 8" wheel. Car would probably have about the same footprint on a 28x8.50 but I've been picking up used tires cheap and running them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torqen2k1 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hey Sunny, can you post pics of your cage installed again. I was looking thru the posts but nobody's home. Apparently they got lost a few weeks ago in the crash. Thanks Darek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNNY Z Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Finally got the car back up and running a couple weeks back. We have been oscillating between negative temps with feet of snow, to 50+ degrees, but I was able to drive it a while back. Finished "breaking in" the new engine on 20#, and it is crazy on the cold roads. It doesn't get traction, ever. I can roll into it at 70, and it will blow the tires off, lol. Really looking forward to next season and getting some more reps in. Been MIA from the boards for a while, so I just thought I'd check in.
