Depends upon how much side revenue I can acquire. :rollinglaugh:

My "next round" mods list should put the car around 450-500awhp on E-85 easily, which would be fun as it is using TD04 based turbochargers. However that list is expensive and only time will tell. Going to use E-85 and stock sidemounts (unless I can find a cheap FMIC setup) to keep it "stealth"

I am in no rush to complete the project, but some snow would be great for my plowing side job! Otherwise, hopefully there will be some additional tuning/building opportunities this spring as well to supplement this vehicle.

Otherwise, I will be at the proving grounds pit crewing for John's Galant VR4, either way I plan on going.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Nice. The bar set from previous years says stock appearing will be 12.0 and quicker.

what you think you could run with that much power?

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

14.0-11.0 @100-125mph depending upon tires, clutch, tune, vehicle final weight, time of day, windspeed, cruising knots (this is a boat still :rollinglaugh:)

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

LOL, I that's about the size of it...

I would suspect the winner of SA this year will be in the 11.2 range, based on conversation from esteemed message boards as this.

Picked up a few more goodies over the past few weeks:
Rebuilt V1 AEM EMS
3.5 MAP sensor
AIT sensor
AEM Twin wideband controller
Brass shifter cable bushings
New dash vents

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Nice.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Yup! Well on my way to 14's now baby :bengals::beer:

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

More goodies to the build:
3" SS downpipe ordered (shipped)
Deatschwerks 1000cc injectors ordered
Fuel lab "mini" FPR ordered
DW301 pump ordered
AN y-fitting ordered
AEM Wideband sensors ordered
Center Gauges on stand-by

Now for some fabrication (intercooler piping, fuel rails, cat-back), porting (intake manifold, turbine housings, exhaust manifolds), fuel line layout and creation, and a few final pieces to be ordered (boost control solonoid, FMIC) and it is go time! Should be ready by April no problem.

Looks like E-85 + all supporting fuel mods + stock turbo's to start, see if I can figure out a way to upgrade TD04's before the proving grounds, if not, should be "Fun" on the 9b's.

Most I've heard of with 9b's was 379hp/480TQ. Car is thinned out and turns 10.9@124! I won't be anywhere near close to that, in fact I'll be happy with low 12's to start, haha!

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Any plans to do BIR or even some Auto X with this beast? I would think the DCTC course would be fun in this car!

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

I might try the road course at the MAP event and maybe a DCTC event or two for fun. The car WILL NOT be competitive for the mods compared to the class, but I will have fun. :bengals:

The added advantage of increased timing should make for a really torque monster down low.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

I'd love to see it at DCTC, I think that TQ with AWD would be fun. Need you get you in the Miata at some point this year as well!

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

I am down for that!

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Need any -10 SS Braided line by chance? I have like 5' of it I think that I'm trying to donate towards a good cause.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Very cool! What are you going to tune it with, AEM?

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

drrrr...

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

I may have a use for that for my oil cooler. PM me what you want for that. I won't be doing the oil cooler until winter 2012 unless it gets in the way of intercooler pipe routing.

AEM with dual channel widebands and virtual dyno. I'll check in on dyno days to check power output as well. Maybe rent an hour if I need to figure out some things.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Holy mother fucker!!!!!!!!!

I never thought I'd see you in a 3S!!!!!!!!!!!

By reading this I want to see you take down stock appearing class at proving grounds!!!!!!!!

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Thank you Nate. This one will not have the highway presence the last build had for quite some time.
Stock appearing is the goal, but having parts assembled and a contending car are pretty far apart right now. As the season progresses we will see how this car performs.

Update:
Ordered New 8mm NGK plug wires and MAC Boost control solenoid last night.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Sounds like you are gettin the parts in, but u will need more than 12s to win SA.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Until proven otherwise, this is a 14 second car. The goal is to have fun putting it together, then see what it does. :beer:
