Re: Find the boost leak
 

Fuck that more DSMers need to use it. Hell i have another car to build but brad's success with it makes me want to use it more and more

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Success? Ruined FMIC and SMIM... sounds more like a fail to me! :D

hahaha I'm just kidding, I couldn't resist.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

He's also been putting the freaking smack down on some big talkers and big walkers, as well as taking first place at MAP's drag event last month. :)

Brad, those pics are insane. I can't believe Dan got your SMIM welded up already and I can't believe it blew that endtank as well. At least you noticed before putting it back into the line of duty ;)

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Thanks guys!!

Another HUGE thanks to Danny at DB for getting my intercooler and intake mani all welded back together so quickly. I had the car back on the road in less than 4 days, and 2 of those days were over the weekend.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Badass. So, back to the old setup, or gonna try again with more nitrous?

Re: Find the boost leak
 

I fail to notice the boost leak... freakin' awesome scary... you da MAN!!!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

There are jets in there right now for 100 shot. I have to figure out though if my wide band sensor is taking a shit or if I'm realling going as lean as it says I am. Going to try and play with a few things to see if I can figure it out cheaply.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Are you gonna post up the damage that happened today?:JD:

Re: Find the boost leak
 

C'mon brad what the hell happened now?

Re: Find the boost leak
 

I hit a 125 on my Gvr4 with no issue, must be nitrous newbs.

In for updated destruction.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

You have a gvr4, got pictures?

Cars a pile, couldn't even break the 600 mark...




597 :D it seemed like one of the longest pulls I've ever seen done to my car.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

125 shot finally figured out ?

Re: Find the boost leak
 

May have been the longest (I've also never seen so many people flinching waiting for something to blow up:biggrin:) but it was actually a very clean pull.

Congrats Brad, your car is awesome!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

597awhp? Holy fuck man, that stock motor is just loving life haha.

super awesome.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

:0 !

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Alot of people have pushed the stock motor this far. Good to see it done on a low reading dyno. :)

Re: Find the boost leak
 

i dunno about that. brad is the only stock motor car i know thats gone 140. and that was 60hp ago.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

True he has gone 140 and not alot of people have done that, but there have been quite a few people who have put down 600awhp +/- a few on the stock block. Here is the stock block trapping 141 for example: http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217888

Brad is only 2 mph from breaking the stock block mph record!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

597awhp on a stock block that's awsome!!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

FUcking awesome. Wonder if the "extra no meat tuning guy" has something to do with this.

Mike Rizz on a FP88HTA just went 141 this past week i believe. But as far as dyno numbers I'm pretty sure you have the record.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Thanks Kenny! Danny, Pat and a couple of the other guys were a lot braver than I was to stand in front of the car, I was waiting for it to miss, clutch slip, or something let go. haha

Thanks man! I don't know if the stock motor is really loving life though, just putting up with some abuse for a while longer. I honestly don't know if it has a ton of 100 shot passes in it but I'll enjoy it while I can!

Thanks!

Yea Shane's tune if 'effin awesome!

It is kind of cool to be close to possibly holding a record, but honestly I'm just pumped the car is holding together and I'm having so much fun. When I bought this car 2 years ago it was my first turbo car EVER and I had no real idea what I was even doing. So hopefully I don't turn into a pussy and keep pushing the car and keep going faster.

Dynojet'ish numbers

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Wow, that's just insane. Makes me feel kinda silly having a built motor, and making a little more than half what you are. But I'm still on pump gas though.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

That 141mph run is from only 2 days ago. Brad might have had the mph record for an AWD car before that and he did it in a 2G. A FWD car has trapped higher.

600awhp on our dyno is nothing like 600whp on a Dynojet. My wifes put down in the 480s on my dyno and then 563awhp at MAP, Steve put down a tad over 500awhp on mine and then in the 580s at MAP. The difference to a fwd Dynojet(like how most used to have to dyno) is even more.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

wow dude almost 700 in shootout mode, thats nuts. Congrats man, Hopefully she stays together for ya

Re: Find the boost leak
 

I realize that. That's why I said..
I wanna see what this thing can do at the track now..

Re: Find the boost leak
 

holy $***! thats bad ass! congrats on the numbers! proves that 2g's can be as fast as 1gs even being heavier..lol love it!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

I think u are calling me a pussy brad. not cool.

What is cool, i just came. no shit.


Keep up the good work man this is awesome

Re: Find the boost leak
 

The real question will be if it will hold this kind of power for more than 1 dyno run.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

I know its splitting hairs but Brad beat me at BIR with a 140.77mph so almost 141mph already, please hold together and make a nice pass yet this year!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

If you can take this thing down the track... WOW!

Have fun Brad!

Good job!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Awesome numbers, that's sick to think it's on a stock block.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

+1, Sounds like the car is a ticking time bomb to me. Hopefully it holds up though.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Keep it together for the dyno day!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

haha thanks guys!

I have no worries about driving and beating on this car daily making 500awhp, its just seems risky to shoot 100 shot on top of that. I've also been daily driving this car from Oakdale to Rogers everyday lately and haven't had any issues. When the motor goes (I know it will, as I've been on borrowed time for a while) I'll probably build a motor and try and some more powaaaaarrrrrrrr.

Re: Find the boost leak
 

you gonna build a 2.4 when this one goes?

Re: Find the boost leak
 

2.1 liter, then spin it to 10k rpm ;)

Re: Find the boost leak
 

You oughta have Nick put whatever magic potion it is he used on this motor, on your next motor. Congrats on those power levels on a stock block, that's insane!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

Time for a MunchGSX Stage II!

Re: Find the boost leak
 

MunchGSX Stage II includes shotpeened 1G rods and stock 2G pistons. It's good for around 1000awhp.
