Quest for the 10's for just over 1000 bucks

[MILKCARTON]

Here is the project http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/showthread.php?63794-How-light-can-I-get-an-89-shadow-2.5-turbo-5-speed-car-(New-project-log)&highlight=


Getting ready to run it on the 24th, hopefully a cool friday night, adding 26x8.5x14 slicks this time, light drag front tires on the rear instead of skinny street tires, msd box with two step and single fogger nozzle starting with a 50 shot, goal 10.99 @ altitude on the cheap, gonna try to take some more weight out of it anywhere I can.

Good luck. How much money spent so far?

[MILKCARTON]

about 1050 to 1100 with the bottle, minus consumables, here it is with the 26" slicks

[BadAssPerformance]

Good luck! If it's a low 11, bring it to SDAC where we will be much closer to sea level :)

[MILKCARTON]

Yea I wish, my job wont allow for that, it went 11.68@115 here

[turbovanman²]

When are you heading out to try for a 10?

Do you have a solid front suspension or is the fender going to rub the slicks a bit on decel?

Gonna run it on friday night the 24th, front it pretty stiff, drove it about 20 miles on the street with these on with minimal rub

[Turbo Joe]

I ran that size slick before.. don't try to take a tight turn in anyway.. take WIDE turns.. thats why i down sized to 24.5

I believe his car has a welded diff watch the vid he posted it can't turn sharp lol.

Cool on the slicks fitting my brother tried my slicks on his CSX after a little I didn't let him try them anymore. Lol

[Shadow]

I see your sporting the Uber light weight re pop front grill assembly..........Koolios bro! :) And good luck with your ventures!

[MILKCARTON]

Thanx alot, thing is this car get alot of street driving, its not comfortable its just fun.

[Ondonti]

Is that an R/T wing? Want.

[c2xejk]

Did you need spacers to fit those tires?

[MILKCARTON]

This set of centerlines need an 1/8" spacer, the wing is off of an 87 Shelby Lancer, R/T spoilers are straight, these has a slight curve to match the back of a Shadow pretty good.

Gonna do some surgery today on a pair of fenders, gonna try to raise the whole wheel opening up an 1 1/2 to 2 inches

[85glht]

Good luck in your endeavors. Please keep us posted..... Especially when you hit your goal!:thumb:

Videos from this weekend, Shadow races at 1:40 or so, remacth race was actually first race

[Keito]

Man I don't know, I would think those slicks will grow enough to rub, that's close!

Dude that was BADASS. Really good vid and good race too. Looks like you're having fun with this thing! Making me want to drop that 'small 50 trim' i just got into my 2300lb Aries...


And the non turbo cars look REALLY lazy in that vid.. everything n/a and under 600hp looked slow..

[MILKCARTON]

Ask anyone on here, cars run exactly the same at altitude as they do at sea level!!!!!! ;-)

I rolled a new head gasket in it today, it was blown into the coolant passage, on both runs the temp gage was pegged at the end

If you watch the video you should be able to see the fenders that i modified , gained alot of clearence

[Dan15]

Awesome video!! :) I'm hoping to have a similar car this summer! My old daily driver, my CSX-T has terminal rust so I'm gonna lighten it up a ton! And then tune it! It already has a FMIC, Holset HE341, bigger custom intake, and soon to be a 3" CAI. So with it hopefully weighing less than 2,400lbs soon and 25psi or more if needed! ;) I'll be running 11's also!! :)

Again, that's an awesome sleeper and fun race car!! haha.

??? Is that sarcasm?

[Vigo]

Of course. :P

Turbo cars arent badly hampered by altitude unless it pushes your compressor into a bad part of the map. If you're running a bigger turbo and not even close to maxing it out, it wont hurt much at all. Supercharged cars are just as effected as naturally aspirated cars because their boost control is in the pulley ratios.. they cant just spin faster to make up for thin air like a turbo will.

[Rrider]

Aww I wanted to see you smoke an STI.

[MILKCARTON]

I wanted to, just knew the hg was hurt, rolled a new one in it and some 830cc injectors this time, sounds good just gonna start with 45 or so fuel pressure and work on it from there, oh yea put a rail mounted afpr on it now also

[Ondonti]

Of course. :P

And the correction factor for n/a cars (spray or not) is 20% on the dyno at that altitude. Positive displacement blowers have a real rough time at altitude but centrifugal superchargers would be easy to keep on par with turbo cars with smaller pulley. The answer for roots/screw is probably larger blower which will also eat more power.

[3Bar_Mopar]

Moar boost, crank FP to 58 and run some corn! ;)

EDIT: Just realized he's done all that and more.

[Ondonti]

He won't get any street races if he runs a 10 :P
