Now thats confidence
 

Just thought i'd let everyone know at the end of summer i built a 2.4, put 300 miles on it driving around mnpls, had shane tune it and then drove 1780 miles back to az. :)

It didnt burn a drop of oil either :)

*pats self on back*

props to shane for mad tuning/diagnostic skills

Nice, where's the dyno graphs!! :D

Re: Now thats confidence
 

^his crew is top secret street racerers yo, how dare you ask? lol j/k.

Good job, 2.4s scare me.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Congrats, glad you made it.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Noice!

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Awesome! We need pics and graphs though.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Whats the setup? I know I've seen you lurking around getting bigger and better things...

Re: Now thats confidence
 

weak sauce post, I demand pics and details!

Nice werk on the drive though, not a lot of DSM's ready to do that nowadays :)

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Wow. I'd love to have the confidence in mine to do that. I just never trust a car. I'm the kind of person that will pull over and check shit out if I hear a stick snap under the tire..

You got balls man, balls.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Oh the denial is epic in you.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

If there aren't graphs, then it didn't happen! Good job on the rebuild, floppy head!

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Oh, it happened. I was teh witness.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

It didn't make enough on 91 octane to be worth posting about. It just needed to drive back to AZ.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Total BS. Poeple need to know what combos work/don't work or whatnot. Even if it was 'only 300whp' it's cool to post so your friends know whats up. I've been trying to cure floppy of his apathetic attitude all summer, never got him to make it out to a meet or anything :(

Re: Now thats confidence
 

It made about what all the evos seem to be making on e85 these days.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

You left off the *sigh* :P

srsly, what engine guts? What turbo, fmic, cams, etc etc?

Re: Now thats confidence
 

engine: reciprocating gasoline 4 stroke spark ignition

turbo: radial compressor actuated by turbine

fmic: aluminum; bar and plate

;)

Layyyyyyyyymmm!

llllaayyyymmm is the story of floppy and a dsm.

Come on buddy, stop being a baby.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

I'd say it probably most likely traps about 121-124 mph on pump.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Wait wait wait, you stuck a HONDA engine in it, didn't you! No wonder it's reliable! K24 woot!

Re: Now thats confidence
 

This thread fails.

No pics no care.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

You can't compare different cars though, unless they are close to stock. With old ass DSMs and throwing a built motor into the mix, things get too skewed. Half the guys out there with built motors in DSMs would have made more power with a stock motor because they raised the compression too much, or got some stage 5 ported head that makes less power than a stock one, or created some flow problem/hot spot that causes detonation to early, or the motor is so noisy that it constantly sets off the knock sensor, or some other weird problem. And then there are the fluke setups that just make stupid power compared to others for no obvious reason.

I can tell you that if he was out east that it would make a decent amount more power with some good pump gas. Or on E85, it would make a shiet load o'power.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Excuses excuses. I'd rather see some pics and facts.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Re: Now thats confidence
 

That's not even enough to power a flux capacitor @ 88mph....can we turn this into the new random pick on someone thread?

MORPOWA Auto Centre! Right next to Arnolds Pizza Shack.

Re: Now thats confidence
 

Shane, I told you not to post my S2k dyno chart!!!

Re: Now thats confidence
 

I wish phx had E85. One station in the entire freakin city carries it!

Re: Now thats confidence
 

They use all their corn down there in their taco's.
