No replacement for displacement?
 

What happens when the V8 guys find turbos?


Some of you guys may have seen this car at the shop over the winter.

We had to stop at 11psi because the mostly stock ignition couldn't keep up. You can see it in the graph when it goes flat around 5700RPMs and we stopped the run not long after. It was fine at 9psi making 770whp. The plan was to shoot for 15psi on pump gas for now and maybe max the turbos on race gas someday.

siiiiiiiiiiiiqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq

i need some oil filters

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Yea, after a couple years of growing up i realized more cylinders means more power easier and better powerband, just need the money now lol.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Yeah, I have been craving a twin turbo LS engine for a while now. Things like this make me realize that I won't get 1,000 awhp out of my car, because that is totally streetable anyway.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

It's not displacement, it was those NAPA oil filters that made the power.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

I saw this earlier today. That is awesome.

I assume there will be a c16 tune also?

What about the TT Cobra that has been 2 years in the making?

holy donkey giblets!

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

4 cylinder engines are lame.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

That's fuck'n sick! Nice work guys!

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Very nice!!

I'm gonna go race this sucker on Diamond Lake Blvd when I get home tonight. :drive:


hehe, maybe not.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

They're catching up. I've seen more and more articles about turbocharging and EFI in Hot Rod, and now they've even got a really cool cam-driven fuel pump that can provide enough fuel flow for a 1500 hp EFI engine without even putting a return line to the fuel tank. Talk about easy retrofit for the older V8 cars, bolts right in the stock location and is half the size of a stock pump.

Nice work on the Stang, I won't be lining up against many of those unless they're on cheap radials.

I know I asked this before, but what does his car rev to?

I need a V8.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Hopefully next year :KANE: :sex2:

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

7000 or so, we brought it out a lot farther than in the graph above on lower boost runs when it didn't misfire.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

That was pump 92? Like.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Yea, normal 92 octane pump gas. It was only 11psi. The motor was built low compression for turbo.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Nice numbers.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Wow, impressive. 9 sec pump gas daily driver.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

I think its time for a 408 and 2 turbos for the jeep!
Damn, I want money

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Hmm, maybe I should turbo that GTO in my garage... Too bad it'd fall apart before I even turned the key.

Nice numbers!

Shane, what are you doing with your head under the hood? :D

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Just jetting the carb.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Shane loves dynoing soo much, that when he is not actually driving the car, he likes to "experience" the power on his face. :P

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

I'd give him an experience on his face for 50 dollars. And he'll like it.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

A little birdy told me that this car ran into what could be considered a good replacement for displacement last night ;)

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

I'm never around for cool stuff.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

And what was the outcome? V8Klla

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

3 cars in our favor ;)

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

oh snap.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

He might have to turn it all the way up to 13psi.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

LMAO!

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Excuses are like assholes...

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

There is no excuse. He lost. But this is a car that runs on pump gas, gets driven 50 miles to work, can make more than 2 passes without breaking or overheating, and doesn't need a pit crew to goto midway. It's at the 14B stock boost level part of it's turbo life right now. It is also owned by a nice guy.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

I'm just giving you a hard time. The car is impressive. It'll be cool to see how far you guys can push it!

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

I don't think it's a matter of how far they can push it, it's more of what is too much. That car is truly capable of an amount which is a little scary for a street car.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

:nod: well said Mo! I agree! That car is awesome!! It's paint is perfect. Its just an all around bad ass car!! Kenny is a very nice guy from what I have heard.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

You can't really compare the cars in question; one is close to its maximum potential while one is at its minimum potential. Either way both are fast as hell so who cares.

Re: No replacement for displacement?
 

Kenny is a great guy. I think for the sake of his kids, wife, and friends he won't be pushing it much further. Traction must be of prominant concern.

What would the next step up be ignition wise besides a CNP or similar setup?
