Smile Ran a turbo Integra, a GN, and two bikes (LONG but GOOD)

Well I finally got my GReddy four row intercooler on today. I put about 10 gallons of 115 octane race gas in and went out to try to tune my car. At first it was running great at 28 pounds of boost, but later in the day it started to blow the spark out. By early evening I could only run around 22 pounds of boost.

So I am out running around and I come upon two cars at the light, about 3 cars in front of me, getting ready to race. It turns out one was a turbo Civic. The car that won was a turbo Integra. I pulled up to the Integra and told him "good kill". He said he wanted no part of me, but he went anyway after a little prodding on my part. I gave him a 1 car jump from 30 mph and floored it. I pulled about 5 cars on him to 80 ish mph. We went one more time from a 15 mph roll and I pulled two cars on him and quickly let off. I slowed down and asked him what he had done and his friend that he had with him said he had a T3/T4 with a front mount intercooler and upgraded fuel system.

After racing the Integra I cruised around for about 20 min, when I saw a black Grand National with white 10 spoke rims parked in AutoZone parking lot. I pulled up to him and told him that I liked his car. He said thanks and said he liked my car. He thought it was a Celica. I asked him what he was doing. He told me that he was looking for some fast cars to run. He asked me if there were any around here. I told him there were a few if he knew where to look. He asked me if I had anything done to my car. I told him that it was a stock motor with a few mods. He said "like an intake" I said "yeah, it's got an intake on it". I asked him what his car runs. He told me that it ran a 12.18 in the 1/4 mile on street tires and that it had a PT52 turbo in it with upgraded fuel system and stock stall. We watched a brown turbo Regal T-Type drive by, I smashed him twice about 2 months ago. He asked me if there were any cars around that were sleepers. I told him that I would show him one that was a serious sleeper if he would follow me in his car about two blocks. He told me to lead the way and he would follow. I pulled out and just started driving down the road. I goosed the gas a few time to get him to bite, he did on the third time. He nailed it and pulled up hard from about two cars back. When his car was pulling along side I nailed it and he gained about a 1/4 car on me for about a 1/2 second, than I pulled on him hard. I pulled about 2 cars on him when he let off. I followed him into a parking lot and told him that my car was the sleeper that I was talking about. He could not believe he got pulled that hard by a Toyota.

After I raced the GN I was on my way home when a bike came up behind me and started to gun it. I nailed it with him about 1 car behind me. By the time I let off I had pulled several more cars away from him. We both pulled over into a Shell station parking lot and talked for a little while. His bike was an older Ninja ZX10.

Afterwards, I see two friends pull up on their bikes, one on a F3 and the other on an F4i. The F4i and I go out to race, the F3 just tagging along to watch and do some wheelies. I ran him from a 20 mph roll. We both started out in first gear. We were side by side to about 105 when I started to pull on him hard. I let off and we did it again from a 40 mph roll. This time I just pulled away from him and let off again at about 90 mph. He was impressed. Him and I both have a mutual friend with a blown 99 Mustang Cobra. They raced last night and the F4i pulled him hard the whole way. The Mustang Cobra traps 127 in the 1/4.

I can't wait to get my ignition problem fixed and crank the boost up some more.

phew, with your steup even at 22psi you should still be looking at roughly 550-600rwhp.

I'm suprised that the F4i didn't pull on ahead of you untill 100, although it is only a 600. Have you raced an 1liter bikes or busas yet?

I live in Arizona, and there is a Busa and a 929RR that are both turbocharged. The busa has a extended swingarm and a stub wheely bar that you can't see at night, he runs 7s all day at the track. the 929 isn't too far behind either. They pull on me so bad it's just ridiculous.

|Banchi1O5|,

It was a lot of fun. Thanks.




R1-rider,

It should be making close to 600 rwhp at 22 pounds of boost.

I was side by side with the F4i until about 95 mph. He never got ahead of me, even at the start, and he is a good rider. I pulled him a good 6 cars from 105 to 140 mph. It seems that after about 100 mph or so his bike had nothing left.




fatninja19,

The Nitto 315 drag radial's fit perfectly with no modifications to the wheel wells.




crunchymilk49,

I will try to post some pictures. I like much better with out the wing. The car looks a lot cleaner.



Bob

93 is that a mark III or a IV? if the guy in the grand national thought your car was a celica then it must've been a mark III. and mark III's don't come with hugh wings. hehe.

Nice runs although I would never call a Supra a "sleeper".

turbos on a V8 usually have some crazy spool up lag, just go ahead and get a nice holley supercharger and benefit from linear boost

yes i know... Superchargers are great for V8s...


but... if you use a turbo.. a small shot of the Goofy Gas will bring the RPMs up and kick in the turbo(s)... but ... its extremely expenisve. So, ill just stick to what i've got...

just b/c nitrous can blow your motor up doesn't mean it will...

that's where having a brain comes in and knowing how to tune...


next topic.

brown turbo buick? they were only available in black, and i don't think someone would paint one... ?
