5/31 - Flashlight Drags Meetups and Races

[Tom]

80's Ranger in da'house.

80's Stang right here!!

I think we will have to run! As long as you are both willing to play 80s music...

[PaxtonShelby]

Slim Whitman and ZamPhir are from the '80's, so Dan is cool with that.

[juice_man_86]

My radio kinda sucks. I usually don't even turn it on. I'd rather listen to my ride, lol. But if that's a deal breaker, I'm down for some 80's tunes.

[juice_man_86]

My old man use to say real bass begins at the tailpipes.

[SlowSix]

I definitely have the edge here, even if I don't get the turbo upgrade bolted on before then, and he knows it :)

We both currently have 16g turbos on the car (~40 lbs/min airflow), but my new turbo showed up yesterday (68 lbs/min).

He has some stuff in the works too, but its doubtful that it will be done by then.

speaking of your car jeff, how fast is this thing? I have a feeling I'm gonna get worked, lol

[Tom]

Mine sounds absolutely horrible, I think all of the speakers are dry rotted or something.... Or it might just be how they sounded stock lol.

He can't even beat a Fiero

[JeffreyCole]

68 lb/min? What the heck did you go with?

The journal bearing "Black" by Forced Performance.

From their site:

Now updated to the new HTZ Aero!
HTZ represents an increase of 5-7% in choke flow over the range of compressor sizes as well as an increase in maximum tip velocity giving you an even wider operating range for your turbocharger when pushing the limits of flow and choke flow for your turbocharger.
DSM JB Black

• Compressor wheel - 82HTZ
• Flow rating - 68LB per minute
• CW Measurements - 59.1MM Inducer / 82MM Exducer
• TW Measurements - 67.3MM Inducer / 58.8MM Exducer
• Compressor Housing - 84MM Flow Advancement Port Cover
• Turbine Housing - FP 8CM
• CHRA - FP Journal Bearing
• Oil Line - Not Included

Here it is the big daddy of stock fitment turbos the FP Black. This turbo features our 82MM HTZ wheel rated at 68LB a minute and has produced over 600WHP in the EVO community. Spinning the compressor wheel is our clipped 67MM turbine wheel stuffed into an 8CM turbine housing. This turbo is available internally gated but if you have an O2 housing setup for external you can bolt it right up to this turbo no custom O2 housing required.

Best pass last year was ....

13.0@105... but that was FAR from my "hero" pass.

Like a 2 second 60'... BOGGGG

EDIT. To further elaborate on comparing the current turbo

Compressor wheel inducer from 48.3mm to 59.1mm (+10.8mm)
compressor wheel exducer from 68mm to 82mm (+14mm)
Turbine wheel Inducer from 56.4mm to 67.3mm (+10.9mm)
Turbine wheel exducer from 47.5mm to 58.8mm (+11.3mm)

It is really quite a bit larger than the current turbo LOL.

[SlowSix]

doesn't make me feel any better, lol.

Are these runs setup for just he first FLD? I doubt I'll make that one.

[ERR0RMACR0]

80s showdown sounds awesome hahaha

Ah, might be decent then. I just gotta get this car to hook, lol

AWWWW SHIT...

Already backing out?! What you afraid of ? A fat man in a little car?

Just kidding... If you cant make the first one, we will make sure to catch up at a later event *assuming my car doesn't turn drivetrain parts to dust.*

The car should have been a lot faster than that... driver mod fail.

These should help with that:

[JeffreyCole]

lol..

If I do anything else tire wise, it will be hoosier QTP's on a set of lighter wheels.

For now... Wheelspin saves transmissions.

[SK360]

I'm guessing its a syclone, or modified like one.

lol, it's a Syclone... and not a stock one either. I will still race Brandon because 90% of the time he can't make a clean pass... but if he does then I got nothing for him.

I doubt I will make the first one. That weekend is the weekend before finals for my summer classes

[gmkillr]

I want o race some yellow corvettes in my v6 sonoma

Im game!

[RedRocketVette]

Who is this "boss" guy and what does he run? I'm prepping for this season so the spinmaster should stick for once.

[RedRocketVette]

Is this the car from sloppymechanics page? I make all the shirts and stickers for Matt on the site

Yup! That'd be me.

[AdamantiumSilvr]

I'll definitely hit up at least one a year to keep my streak going and sometime's two for sure. Last year I raced at 4 of them, 2 PIRC and 2 Waynesburg ones. I raced at all 4 Waynesburg ones in '10. Its just a little ol slow stick shifting Stang with some bolt on's. I like to keep the races close so I pick wisely on who I race. lol Getting woopt on is no fun plus with all the spectators I wanna put on a bit of a show. I was planning on finally getting some hp this year but decided to buy a place. After I get back on my feet again will see what mods are to come.
