turbo ATX update thread no 56K

[1slickRED89]

you are in ohio right? i'min western NY i can make it into ohio in about 1.5 hours, my cousins live in cortland so i make the drive a lot anyway.

if you can make it to norwalk raceway park on some friday i'll pay your way in. they open the gates at 4:30 and since it's test & tune the tree is heads-up. don't rush though, I still have a few things to work out on mine.

I would like to pick your brain on ATX rebuilding techniques as my unit is stock.

Tim did you want the high pressure spring? it came out of a china-made Tial knock-off so let me PM you the measurements to make sure it will fit.

I'll only allow this to happen if there is video taken!

I want in on the fun too. I may ride down with Alex if I don't bring my 13 sec SHO.

i'm only working 2 days a week friday and saturday. do they hold it any other day? + pending i get my core money back from FPS which should be today. BTW huge thanks to FPS for being so patient through this core return mess!!!.

Hey congrats on getting it running. Hopefully those ShoShop injectors don't give you to much trouble with tuning

Edit: Nice job, BTW

 

[pudge235]

wow that really sounds awsome. Sounds like you guys know what you are doing. You should get a video, I would love to see that animal with no bumper and that huge turbo just hangin off the side.

 

[Axianator]

yes he did. lets see if i can describe teh sound... vroooOOOOMMMMM BOV VROM BOV.

Excellent job on getting her up and running, Alex! Now we need pics ...

we inputed the lincon maf (which is temporary because my lightning didn't arrive yet)

Out of curiosity, are you using the latest D4U1.DAT file from Josh's TwEECer page?

we might have to have a Turbo ATX race, once yours is all worked out. maybe at the next convention.

Assuming I can ever find the time and remaining funds to complete my blower build-up, I'd like to join that lil' shoot-out.

no dynotune yet, but 15psi from a 67mm turbo should be something like 450 hp to the wheels on a proper tune

Given the limited access that almost all chip burners and dyno shops have to the '94-'95 D4U1 program (e.g. not quite as much as the TwEECer and certainly nowhere near what Josh and I have), I would be interested to see what kind of results your dyno shop can produce with the tools that are available to them.

Do you plan to let them do all the tuning or do you guys plan to have a hand in it?

Also, will they be utilizing your TwEECer or are you going to have them burn you a chip?

Hopefully those ShoShop injectors don't give you to much trouble with tuning

Agreed.

its DEFINANTLY going to the dyno shop. currently we are just waiting for the tranny core charge refund so we can get the tweecer upgraded, and then its dyno time

 

[somedude_001]

thats basicly all i'm waiting on right now is the core funds to hit my bank. I would say end of next week the car may be ready.

 

[pudge235]

keep us posted!!!

Video! I wanna hear this thing rip.

 

[somedude_001]

ok we got the boost where we want it. so i pulled to the side of the highway (the 400 for those that know the area) i brake boost the crap out of it to try and get boost from a stop but all i could muster up was about a pound so i release the brake and about 500rpm's later the boost starts to build and she pulls hard... real hard all the way through first through second and part of teh way through third, i let off at 100mph and dang it came up fast. there is no doubt my mind that this is a low 14 sec car or better.

this turbo seems sized perfectly for this engine in teh fact that the etremely low boost launch allows me to retain traction then almost instantly i get boost. there is a dark side to the story though. we started to notice some smoke... a lot of smoke so i get on teh brakes hard and pull over... we decide to get the car towed to my house because working on the side of the highway is not safe. the oil fitting to the oil pan had come loose a bit and we blew the rear crank seal out of its seat. so we got it back into place and tightened the fitting. so tomorrows priority will be to get a check valve so we arn't pressureizing the crankcase anymore.

if anyone is interested in some more pics or specs on the car check sonikempire.com

 

[1slickRED89]

it the oil return at the top or bottom of the pan (in other words above or below the oil level)?

good luck, FYI I have the tilton feed a 3/8" line that dumps into the front valve cover vent fitting, jankity but functional.

 

[FuzzyFish]

Just got a ride in it yesterday, the gearing/turbo sizing couldn't be better. That FPS tranny kicks ass too, makes me want to ditch my mtx.

 

[pudge235]

where in NY are you I would love to come up and see it.

I thought you would want them to know!!!

I've been meaning to talk to you on AIM, I had a few Q's, but everytime you come online, Im on my way out....Only time I ever got to chat is when Im off work, and thats like never!

edit:this thought just popped into my mind but this car still can't do a burnout. i can brake boost the crap out of it and not een a chirp... oh well good traction is a bitch, that and not making boost right off the line.

I dl'ed these on TCCA - sounds great. All I hear is "purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrSCREEEEEhiss..."

No x-posting to the local boards here for me. BTW, shoulda caught more than just the fender of the classic 'Stang in the vid

Sounds great Alex - get that bumper back on there. Sleeper
