SCMC Track Rental - Friday June 19, 2015

[JeffreyCole]

Wow you seriously jumped up in turbo size, too. This will be a very interesting track rental! Great to know you don't have any boost creep with a 38mm gate.

Yeah, but he still sucks.

Why you gotta hate? Lol. I just hope I can still make the rental after my change in employment status.

Yeah, you gotta come so I'm not the slowest car there.

[Dewayne]

Yeah. I spend money make a 9 second turbo run 13s.

don't worry. i'll be there with my little NA V6 against all the big V8's and boost lol

My best pass is a 13.0@105... I'm not good at this LOL

As far as our turbos being similarly sized.

I will agree with the compressor being similarly sized (you actually have me by 2.3mm on the inducer), but my turbine is 7MM larger than a 30R turbine (60mm vs 67.3mm).

Thats a pretty big difference in turbine size. Mine is more 3582R sized.

True about that turbine size. I was just comparing the compressor wheels.
This is what makes mine a bit of a bastard turbo. The compressor wheel size suggests massive power, but the turbine could limit it. Some people consider it an imbalanced turbo due to the big compressor wheel and small turbine. I guess I'll find out.
My car should be done by the end of next week. Plenty of time to work out kinks before the track rental, as long as my darn main seal isn't leaking again.

The smaller turbine should help out with spool but will ultimately limit total airflow. The problem with this type of setup is the smaller turbine can cause the turbo to begin to spool too quickly, and the turbo will be pulling in more air than the engine can consume at that RPM, causing compressor stall, or "surge" as it is more commonly called.

That's no-bueno for turbo longevity. Anti-surge ports help, but they cant stop it completely.

my fastest at PRP is exactly what yours is. track prep has never great the days I have been there. I spin more there then anywhere I've ran.

my best et in general was down at capitol in MD. 12.89 @ 111mph

hot day at PRP I predict i'll be around 13.0-13.3 area.

unless I put DR's on by then but after this most recent trip I just returned from $500 in rubber and a spare set of rear wheels aint happening in the next few weeks lol

I was also on a turbo that flowed ~24 lbs/minute LESS air on that pass too.

So I am hoping for a 12.7@125 or so LOL I need a driver mod.

if I throw DRs on I could possibly get it down to 12.8 at PRP

I know the car has a TON more power this year, I just don't know if I am capable of driving it good enough to make a decent pass yet. It's too fast to mess around on the roads around here anymore without seriously risking either my, or someone else's life. Not worth the risk.

My road in "Mexico" is too short now.

If you run 12.7@125 in an AWD I'm taking your keys.

I'll probably miss second.. twice... on the same pass.

Mitsubishi transmissions FTL.

In all honesty.. if I run an 11.999999999999999999999999999999999 I will be extremely happy. The setup has a BUNCH more than that in it, I just don't know if I do.

Then you need to move. My area has lots of Mexican roads.........

yea I'm going to the track day to have fun and see some of these other monsters run. I don't care if I lose every time. $67 for a personal track for a few hours is a fine way to spend a Friday to me lol

I hope you don't consider my car one of these "Monsters", cause I don't want to disappoint you. My car was built on a TIGHT budget over a VERY long period of time, and I still consider it slow.

Probably always will.

I meant more like the modded GT-R's and some of the high HP muscle I see on here.

I grew up at the drag strip with my father so regardless of how my car does It still feels like home.

I didn't "Grow up" at the drag strip, but it is a helluva good time.
