Fail track day. No traction.

[Broomfield Racing]

Hit the track today expecting to see some nice 60fts with the slicks. It was way too cold and way too shitty prep. It was the last day they were open and there was like 20 cars there, I dont think they cared. Best time was a 11.45 @123 with a 1.93 60ft. Only got vids of my last 2 runs which were both 11.5's with 1.9xx 60's. I was hoping to see some deep 11's or 10's but the track was not holding anything for anyone. Was running 19psi on the 5857's. Best trap was 126.

This is all on straight 93 pump no meth. I could have turned the boost up more as it was very quiet but my laptop died, it wouldn't have helped me anyways. Quite disappointing end to the year. Oh well. Time to weld up the vcu and try out some race gas.

Heres 1 vid ill upload the other later.

Bummer, Can't wait to see what that beast will do on race gas. Have you thought about running e85?

Oh and I want to see some pics of that engine bay. Some build pics would be cool also. I didn't even know you had the car running till the other day. :p

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

Hey man, anytime you make it home without breaking anything is a non-fail track day.

Sounds great and is moving well for 19 psi. :thumbup:

[Broomfield Racing]

Well I wanted it to be a bit faster trap speeds but I guess thats what 3500lbs gets me.

[wraith]

126 in these cars is like 550awhp, not shabby at all on pump. With a 1.6 60 ft, your knocking on the 10s!

[Austin@STM]

Dam, get some weight out of that thing.

[Broomfield Racing]

Full interior except for trunk...plus cage :( teach me your ways Austin! Need to get rod of aws and stock exhaust too. I like the quiet exhaust though :( e-cutout ftw.

[Austin@STM]

I'm gonna put my interior soon and do a write-up. With interior and cage in it, it should be under 2800.

I'll send you a pm wwitht some ideas of what to remove or modify.

[Ray Pampena]

its all in the 60! if you would have gotten a 1.5-6 you would have gone 10s and had a higher mph! not bad for 19psi and that tiny ic core u got. lets go to E town!

[Austin@STM]

Were goin to ohio next weekend if anyone wants to go racing with us.

Your 6 hours from me as it is, ohio is farrrrrrr :p

Ray im down for e-town if I get my vcu welded. Can I pull the vcu without the trans? I know you can do the OS shaft but not sure if you can remove the vcu.

[JasonY]

Adam started busting axles after he welded the VCU and i have read him say it was a very regrettable mod. Something to think about...

Jason

[Broomfield Racing]

Ill talk to him about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Heres the other poor quality vid :p.

Just thought I would offer, if it doesn't work, were going to florida in a couple weeks, to go race with AWD motorsports

it pulls out with the output shaft with the trans in. is it spinning all 4?

[Broomfield Racing]

Some people told me it was not spinning all 4...sometimes it was spinning 1 side...but it didn't seem to pull to either side when launching. It felt like the front were spinning like the vcu is blown but im not 100% on that.

[JasonY]

Still have a stock front diff? Might have just been spinning the hell out of one front tire...?(which is bad bad, i blew the front diff and fragged my whole trans in the 93)

Jason

[Broomfield Racing]

Yea stock front, but it will do that when the vcu is blown. IIRC Ray is still running the stock front diff. The front diffs blow because the are spinning like crazy and the roll pins back out according to Ray. I know my vcu is blown but I thought I might get away with it for a bit. Oh well.

[TurboSinceBirth]

So what's the spool like on the turbos? I've been wanting to know how they'll do on the stroker. I was hoping for full boost by 4500 rpms. I have a few things left to do and mine will be running. I'm hoping next week I'll get it fired up since I didn't get much down this week due to a wedding.

[Broomfield Racing]

I have a small exhaust leak in the rear since my 3sx headers just keep cracking but they start to really go at 4800-5000. I havent nailed down any real numbers yet from the logs. Ill take a look next time.

[CoreyB]

Better luck next time. Nice to see its running consitantly though. 10's are in your future for sure.

Got any pics of your engine, im curious how easily 2 of those squeeze in there.

Also what suspension is on your car now, and how is it set?

edit: Oh ya one more thing, what clutch are you running in it?

[Broomfield Racing]

Megans set pretty hard in the back a bit softer up front. Spec 4+ clutch.

Ill get some updated engine bay pics.

[i3igpete]

the new sig looks sick :D

[Broomfield Racing]

the new sig looks sick :D

FUNS OVER! Till spring. :D I was thinking of that when I was in the staging lanes lmao.

That's not too bad. Maybe with the exhaust leak you'll see a little better spool hopefully 1-200 rpms. I thought Ray had fixed the headers but cheap china-made 3SX ones must take a lot more work than that to get them leak proof. I would have sold you the other DR T3 manifolds and 02 housings I had for a good price if I could have convinced you at the time to get them. I have a few little things left to do before I'm comfortable firing it up. It basically looks the same as in my sig pic. When I get a TIG I'll be reworking some of the intercooler piping. Re-routing the front pipe underneath the car and making a custom 3" intake for the front is on the list of things to do.

[bridge]

[green-lantern]

the new sig looks slick :D

Fixed! Get it? :rimshot: :awesome:


It's hard to believe you got those turbos to fit down in there Dave.

[Ray Pampena]

Davey, im ready for e town when you are! im up to 450whp haha

[Broomfield Racing]

Ahahha sick Ray, your an animal! Hopefully you have a bellhousing brace now :lol:

Etown is soooo farrrrrrr. 4.5hours :(
