I Love My Car! 10.96@127.32 With a 1.440 60' On Stock Turbos. Thanks To STM.

[Austin@STM]

First off i want to say thanks to everyone at STM, i have learned so much in my time here and without them my car just wouldnt be where it is plain and simple.

So here is a small part of why i love my car so much, this week is a prime example. Last week we decided to come to Ohio on thursday the 4th. So 7am we all meet at the shop, and head out, its a rainy day so were not even sure yet if the track will be open but we go anyways. About halfway there we find out the track is gonna be closed because of rain, so we turn around and head back. This was about a 300 mile journey.

Next day we check the weather and make plans to leave Saturday night and go to Ohio again to race that Sunday. So we leave the shop at 11 get to the hotel and get a few hours of rest, its about 250 miles to the track, plus the day in betwwen i drove my car to work so by this time im already racking up the miles. Its a cool day Sunday and we get some good passes with the other cars we brought early in the day. Then its my turn to go. First pass i launch the car, breaks up a little so i let out and get into it in second again just to feel out the car, when i get back i realize i never started the log to see what happened. The second and third pass went the same, and after checking the logs we realize the car has no fuel in boost, its running 15.0:1. So we call it a day, spend the night at the hotel and come back home the next day.

Well of course we had to go back again, so we make plans to do a track rental today the 11th. Rewired my fuel pump and tossed it on the dyno last night to make sure we were set, and got all ready to go. So early this morning we leave and had no idea what was in store. It was a perfect day here in Ohio, sunny to warm up the track, but still nice cool air for the little snails. We ran our customer Chris Cessna's stock block Evo most of the day, getting it to an amazing 9.76@150, which is .02 away from the stock block record, and is the MPH record by far.

Now its my turn, so i get the car all ready, slicks are on, everything is ready, or so i thought. First pass down the track, same problem! Crap, i go down again this time not launching it just going though 2nd and 3rd to log it and it runs good, so we decided it was just a little to low on gas, so i fill it up to half tank to be safe. Next pass, i pull a 1.48 60' and run a 10.98@127, and dam near shat my pants when i heard the MPH. So i go right back up for another pass, pull a 1.49 60' and then missed second, crap oh well, still had time to sneak in one more run. Back to the line i do my first ever burnout, and boy did it work out well. Final pass of the day broke my old record with a 1.44 60' running a 10.96@127.32mph.

There is a mix up on the one slip it says i am car number 27, but i was really car 15 the whole day.

This was really the icing on the cake for my week. I drove the car to ohio 3 times, putting 1300+ miles on the car, and im not even back home yet. The car made 8-9 solid launches 3 of which were 1.4x's on a stock unbraced 5sp transfer case. The car trapped 127mph on the stock 9b turbos which is just mind blowing. To top it all off the car is still in one piece and i will be driving it home tomorrow, and that pretty much says it all. I really couldnt ask for anything more out of the car.

I will have pics and videos up soon, as well as the latest dyno graph and numbers.

Man that is impressive. Great times, man. I only saw the title of your other thread, but what snails are going in there next? I'm anxious to see the outcome. Very awesome.

....and hey, off topic, but are you guys doing any black friday sales? ;)

Yup, not sure what yet, but we love sales and there will be something for sure.

As for what turbo is next, i will be running a single PTE 6765.

[Lithium]

Congrats Austin, Goes to show quality makes all the difference.

[TurboSinceBirth]

I think all the weight reduction is helping save your transfercase for now. :)

[L_P]

Amazing. I bet its awesome to be able to say your on stock turbos.
Keep up the great work.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

Insane. Drive to the track, cut 1.4's all day, set records, drive home. Congrats!

[x2percentmilk]

wicked awesome! congrats on a super reliable 10 second car.

[FeaRpb]

Very very nice Austin, we need to get my car down to your weight for my build =) lol

Not sure if you started this yet, but this would be pretty cool to see you smash on for a little while.

There's some good stuff out there Austin. Thought you might like to check some cool stuff out too.

I can't wait to see more great things come from your camp. Congrats on your run, it's always fun to smash!

[oohnoo]

just wow!

[mb7050]

yeah who could have thougt this is possible with 9bs now wonder if you have had euro spec to start with ...

[pos-vr4]

great work!

doing more with less is always impressive!

[green-lantern]

That's fricking impressive bro! Congratulations!

Sometime in the future I want to see what this thing will do with some big turbos. Any plans on it?

[vr4_rider]

Good job!

Why don't you put bigger turbos in your car, or the 3kgt that STM owns, and break the 8 second record held by DR? That would be something.

If you guys could do 10s with 9Bs, then have you thought about what it could do with...let's say, 19Ts or DR750s?

If you have thought about it, what's keeping you from doing it?

Thanks,
TP

[j2k4]

Amazing.

Just amazing.

[92RT-TT]

Great Job Austin!

[Atrosity]

So.... single turbo ftmfw!

Thanks for all the support guys.

Yes, I have thought of it. It was not my original plan, thats why it hasnt been done yet. A little after getting the car last spring we had the idea to push the stock turbo's so thats what we have done up until now. I know these little guys can go a little further, but i am done with them i think. Time for some real power and some real FUN. 92RT-TT and I have also discussed the idea of putting a set of 19t's on my car in the spring and pushing those to the max as well.

So i guess we'll just have to wait and see how the cards fall, and go from there. Either way i have a lot of work to do this winter to pretty up the car, make it lighter, and get it ready for the single turbo, because that will happen for sure.

I am also not sure what you mean by the 3kgt that STM owns, as there is no such thing. The only 3S we have right now is my Stealth, and we have been using it since day one to develop and test all the parts that we use on it, and then offer them to you guys.

•10.95@124.77 - Worlds Quickest/Fastest Stock Turbo 3S 373HP/472TQ Built and Tuned @ STM

From that bullet point, and the thread you made on 3si.org a long time ago, I thought that 10s on 9Bs were already accomplished. And you congratulated STM, so I thought they made your car into the 10s as well.

You made a new thread yesterday night, so I thought this was new.

Oh i see what you mean, no that was my car before as well. This was just a another visit to the track, and i was thanking STM for the help. The car made 2 more 10 second passes yesterday as well as held together for 3 1.4x 60', as well as trapping higher and resetting the MPH record at 127 MPH instead of 124. I havent watched the video yet but from the timeslips i lost a little in the midrange, i might have been shifting slower, or holding the gears to long, and that why the 60' and MPh are up but the ET is still the same.

[vr4_rider]

Gotcha! Makes sense now:)

Now, you mentioned 19Ts and single...so which is it:) IT should be interesting either way..hahah.

TP

[92RT-TT]

Why choose when you can try both??? :D

[Austin@STM]

For sure i plan to do the single turbo setup, and some serious fuel upgrades. However like i said 92RT-TT and I have been discussing putting a set of 19t's or maybe even just 15g's on the car and crushing the TD04 record for 1/4 mile and HP/TQ in the spring before i actually run the single setup. So we will see, there is a lot of time between now and then, so i may come up with a different idea.

[vr4_rider]

Ohhh, you guys are naughty!! LOL

[mb7050]

please do 19T´s first ;)

I like the idea of staying with Twin Turbo in the beginning before going single. You can give a good idea what the car can do with different setups. Hell why not go for different records along the way.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

I would have to vote 19T's as well. If 19T's put a full weight+ 3S into the mid 10's, your car should do 9's no problem on them. Then if the block is still in one piece, go single turbo and go after the all time fastest record (maybe even on the stock block).

[Austin@STM]

I'm not one to say things are impossible, but the power it takes to get a car in the 8's is not gonna happen out of the stock motor, with a cast crank. 9's won't be an issue I don't think at all, but I'm not gonna go much past 550hp I don't think so we'll see. If it takes that well I will crank it up.

I'd agree there's no way it'd hold up to repeated abuse, but with how light your car is, you might get one pass.

DR750's are TD04 also...

^ im with smartie

too lazy to find the emoticon

[lawdogg]

Those are some fantastic 60's for your drivetrain staying in one piece. Have a video of the launch?

[vr4_rider]

Can 650awhp get you into the 8s with your car's weight? If yes, and if your car has been tuned properly all these times (ie; good engine health), then I think 8s could be in your future:)

Also, Austin, what kind of single turbo setup are you going to be running?

Thanks,
TP

[amicus]

Really impressive numbers. How much does the car weigh?

[familyMAN]

Why are people talking about 8's when the car has just gotten under 11??? Yes, it is a VERY impressive result on 9bs, but to jump from 10.95 to 8.99 takes MUCH more power. It took Matt nearly 1000awhp to get in the 8's in a car that is nearly as light as Austins.

Congrats again on your feat! Don't hesitate to show us some more pics and videos:D

[Austin@STM]

pics and vids will be up soon.

and yes tens are easy, but jumping from 10's to 8's isnt nearly as easy, and it puts a lot more work into the suspension to get it there than just the power. Power is also no problem, but if you cant put it down than there is no point to it.

[Lithium]

^ I'm waiting for your custom tubular sub-frames.............

[onebadmollafolla]

Congrats man! That is just unbelievable.

Hey, Austin.

That plenum looks like a Mitsu OEM..what car did that come off of?

Looks great, man!

[vr4_rider]

Hey, Austin.

Can you tell me what car that plenum came off of?

[Austin@STM]

It is off a Sebring with a 2.7L i believe, got if off ebay for $30. It requires a little modification to fit.

It will bolt directly to the stock lower manifold, but the throttle body flange is quite a bit different.

I got a DSM flange (same as a 3S flange and welded it on). You also have to remote mount your IAC motor because there is no room for it above the timing covers. Also you may want to run a 1G DSM brake master cylinder to give you a little extra room on the piping, but its not completely neccisary it you put a very tight bend on the piping.

[vr4_rider]

Thanks, Austin! I appreciate the reply.

Too much work for now, so I guess I'll stick with the stocker..lol.
