Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

looks great man. Its great to see those numbers after the setbacks you've had.

Do you have link logs from the runs?

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Great numbers! Hopefully get to see it in action this summer

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Yeah I hope you do to. I really want to see that NSX. You'll have to let me know if you ever head up there. I'd love to watch it in action on the dyno. I got a little video camera we could use to record it also.

Let me know if you ever head to the track (other then on 4/18, can't make it that day). I really would like to hit up the track a few times this year, and it'd be nice to go with some other people since I've never been to a track, ever.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I'll meet you at CFR in May sometime, if you're interested.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I'll definitely let you know whenever we are going to the track. But I'm hoping for those numbers in my GSX, we are shooting for double that in the NSX. :)

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

awesome powarz!!!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Nvm. nice numbers. Time to go trap 135+mph at the track!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

way to go brandon. now on to the cooling part of it

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Very nice Brandon! Are the overheating issues solved?

No love for the one that ported your head, huh? :p

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

How much did you port that head? Just to match the 1g intake runner size, or was it a full port job? How about exhaust side?

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Fixed :)

And Momin, yeah that came out wrong. I meant to say I hope you do make it in the GSX, but what I really am anxious to see is what the NSX ends up making with that Borg Warner on there. It's true what they say, the Borg assimilates all, resistance is futile.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

You'd have to ask Jet to get the full details. But yeah the intent was to match it up to my 1G SMIM, which he did. I think he went in a little bit though to make it as smooth as he could. Didn't just take it a bunch right off the edge and called it a day.

The exhaust side did not get touched (I think).

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Very nice numbers Brandon! I'm excited to see what it can do at the track!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Nice numbers!!!

Have you really never been to a track????? To have a car with that much power and to have never been to a track is nuts IMHO!!! Get out there and do it to it!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Nope, never been. I hope to go "do it to it" this year, just hope some others are willing to come out and show me the ropes a little. We shall see.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Wow, very impressive! Have fun with the car :)

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

That is awesome, def. some drag racing power there. I need a ride.

Congrats man, hopefully you can be done with major work.

I too hope to make it out for my first passes this year..we can line up together and pop our draggin' cherries!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I tapered the opening about 2/3 of the way into the head and then cleaned everything up too, intake and exhaust side. Basically one of my stage 1 ports with the gasket matching. The size difference is crazy, the 2g head has at least a 5/16" flat wall that the air hits if using a 1g manifold.

Thanks brandon! Payback is a ride some time! :D

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

fuck..I'll give you a ride for a ported head! ;)

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

He paid for the head, payback was for not showing me any love :lol: Mainly it was just an excuse to get a ride in his car, which will make me really miss mine and I am going to have to sell something to get my turbo and start fab'ing up all the piping and FMIC end tanks. That is if I get any time between customer cars. There is a method to my madness.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

^new turbo? oh jeez.

Bman, gimme a shout if you go rolling about, i now have all gears.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Looks great Brandon!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Here's a quick little video we whipped up today from the dyno, enjoy!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I like!

Edit: You're peak power was at 5200 rpm? Or is that you're peak boost?

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Peak power at 5200? No, I meant I hit 35psi by 5200.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Nice numbers and a good video (exept for the ginger kid)

Let me know when you want to go to the strip. I can get vids of your runs and answer any questions you might have about track etiquette.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

sweet vid :)

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

That's a pretty sweet power band!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

All you need to know about drag racing is the advice given by John Force, "Don't Turn!"

Awesome numbers, btw. I hope I can get a ride.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Nice vid.
ThAts a fatass powerband. I Can't wait to see it.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Thanks! It was kinda fun making the video. My friend Jake is really good with Adobe Premier, but he was working so it was just my and Katy messing around, doing the best we could.

I really want to keep getting footage of anyone else's cars on here, and eventually make a nice long 'Style video at some point.

Yeah I really need to get out to a track now. I'm really excited! Figure I'll have to do some lazy mid 11's, then once I think I've got it down, go all out on one pass and hope to break into the 10's and get the boot!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Nice video. Nice car. Great numbers.


Can't really say much else. lol I love the sound though, just screams.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I have some footage of a few dyno days and track days I could get you.

Im planning on going to Grove creek for a few of there saturday night street legal races. I want to practice my launching and try to get some traction in the 1/8 mile before I drive all the way to Rockfalls or Ceder. They just redid they're track. concret to 1/2 track and new asphalt. it looks realy nice.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Nice, I'll have to get some of that from you!

What I really need is some track footage. Drag strip, autocross, street pulls, anything like that. And not 5 year old footage either, some recent stuff.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Your car looked like it got a little loose in 2nd gear when we were leaving TGIF's. Bad ass man!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Yeah it did. Maybe it was because it was a little chilly last night. Either way, breakin em loose in 2nd is pretty sweet.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Now I really have to stop by and check out your car. By the way nice numbers!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Stop by anytime.

I'm thinking about running to MAP tomorrow just to do a comparison pull. It's a week later from when Shane tuned it, so there are going to be some obvious variables like temperature. But just want to run there, and do a comparison pull for fun. Waste of money, maybe, but it's not that much, and it's all in fun :)
