Re: Project Lex

11.6 @ 131 mph, 2nd run (best run) in this car.

Real happy with the trap. 60' obviously needs work, been spoiled with awd in the past. RWD feels like a different animal. Either way still happy with mid 11's.

Re: Project Lex

Definitely have a 10 in that car once you get the 60' down. Should be doable with the NT05R in back. Nice work so far though!

Re: Project Lex

I thought this car was black all this time until I saw it at BIR today. Looking really nice and clean. New seats looks awesome.

Re: Project Lex

Did we meet? Sorry been running into a lot of people. Car broke first pass today so 11.6 remained my best. Not sure what happened, wondering if my clutch fused to the flywheel.

Re: Project Lex

Back from BIR. Overall I think a very successful first track visit in this car. It wasn't perfect. I have a lot of learning to do when it comes to launching this car, my best 60' of the day was a 2.1.

My goal was really to just make some nice clean passes in the car. I was expecting 12's and 125 traps. I surpassed that with a best of 11.6 @ 131. If I can get that 2.1 down to say a 1.8 which I think is a very achievable goal, I'd be knocking on the door of 10's. And also getting the setup from it's current 20psi setting up to 30psi, I think my traps will be in the upper 130's. This will put it pretty much exactly where I had my old Talon at which was my end goal of this entire build. Similar power / track time as the Talon, but in a vehicle that is much more comfy / quiet / old man friendly / sleeper-ish.

Break down on how it went.

First "thing" that happened was we fucked up the front lip taking it off the trailer. That was super sucky, but it sort of fell back in place fine so it's not so bad. maybe I'll just get some carbon fiber band-aid stickers or something as a funny fix.

First pass was a 12.1 @ 127.5 with a 2.2 60'. This was in full street form (even still had the sub in the trunk). Car weighed in at 3460lbs. Launch was horrible, lots of wheel hop, NT05r's still at 30psi.

Second pass was an 11.6 @ 131.3 with a 2.1 60'. I removed a bunch of weight for this. Pass seat, sub/amp from trunk, all trunk carpet, rear seats all came out. Car weighed in at 3320lbs. This was my best pass of the day. Launch was a hair better, I had lowered the rear tires down to 20psi. The weight reduction had an awesome effect on the trap.

Third pass was an 11.7 @ 131.8 with a 2.2 60'. I removed the entire exhaust from the downpipe back. You can tell in the video it is significantly louder. It's stainless so I bet removing this put me under 3300lbs, unfortunately the scale was closed at that time so I didn't get to re-weigh it. I'd guess probably a good 40lbs was removed though, so probably right around 3280lbs would be my guess. I thought the reduction would have had a bigger impact on my trap, but I gained almost a mph with it. I put the tires down to 18psi. Lots of wheel hop again. Still was happy that I was able to basically duplicate the previous run. This was the end of Friday nights fun.

Fourth pass was the next day, Saturday afternoon. 2.4 60', but then you can see in the video this is where the car broke on the 3-4 shift. This ended my racing for the event, threw it on the trailer and called it quits.

I'm still not sure what exactly broke, but the symptoms are that the clutch basically no longer disengages the tranny from the motor. Everything feels right when you push the clutch. You can see the slave is pushing the fork just like it should. It just doesn't do anything. If you have the car in say 2nd gear and are driving around at 3k rpm, you should be able to push the clutch in and the tranny disengages, the rpm's drop to idle speed. My car right now, that same scenario you press the clutch in and the car just stays at 3krpm, the tranny is still engaged like you didn't press the clutch at all. But like I said above, clutch pedal feels normal. So the one thing that comes to my mind is perhaps the clutch fused to the flywheel?

Car will put in the garage and stored for winter early. So I guess I'll get a head start on this winters upgrades, which now also includes having to get this beast of a tranny off which I'm not looking forward to.

All in all though, I was really happy with the car. The car felt strong and I felt safe and comfy in it. If that is what truly happened, then I'd say the car actually held together well as this isn't so much something that broke, but 2 parts the decided to just get stuck together.

Here's a video of the 4 passes in order taken from inside the car. Also a few pics I snapped.

Re: Project Lex

Brandon, I bought this transmission jack and love it:

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...0984_200640984

I pulled the 47RE trans off my diesel dodge 2500 by myself with it with minimal hassle. I use ratchet straps instead of chains.

I also used it to mate the trans to my 4G63 on an engine hoist, too. I like it because you can angle it on 2 axis' with a good amount of precision.

Re: Project Lex

Cool, my HF jack is pretty bad. Maybe I'll give that a shot, thanks man. What sucks though is this tranny is just so large it doesn't fit well, that's the sucky part.

Nice work, I'd be shocked if you didn't surpass those goals!
I can't wait to see what it does turned up! I bet it will do 140mph.

Re: Project Lex

Another thought. Some supra guys have issues with their master cylinder not having enough to fully disengage the clutch and upgrade to the tilton bolt on master. Two other guys currently doing the CD009 swap on their SC's had a similar issue and upgraded to the tilton master which fixed the problem. So maybe i need to do the same. Going to give it a shot before I pull the trans.

Re: Project Lex

Not bad! Talking to rwd guys, it seems the burnout is pretty important as well.

Do you have any kind of launch control or are you just free revving it at the line?

130+ is moving!

Re: Project Lex

Free reving. Yeah I been talking with Dave Henry, getting some pointers on doing longer burnout, and faster. Said he used to do his in 2nd gear. He also mentioned the track maybe have been shitty from all the street tires and potentially shitty leaky cars.

Yep, just need to wire in the clutch pedal switch. I was hoping to have it done before PG but ran out of time.

Re: Project Lex

That will make life easier for you, anything you can make more consistent will help you get faster like 2 step, boost by gear, tire psi, etc.

Can't wait to see you get faster with this thing!

Re: Project Lex

Would love to figure out how to leave on lower boost and bump it up in 2nd gear. That'll be some time though before I start toying with stuff like that though.
