BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A568 - Update!!!

[Turbo3Iroc]

Well, i just might be out there again, but not sure about saturday... mayeb tuesday? There was nobody there tonight, every time I pulled up into the staging lanes i was first in line!

The good news - after 5 runs the car is still together and the oil looks clean and OK oil pressure too

Concerns...

-a couple IC hoses had issues staying on - need beads welded on
-with TiAL set up for 15psi.. it hit 30 WTF!? - set it for 30 and it ran higher WTF!?
-developed an exhaust leak, manifold maybe?
-track was STICKY an ddidnt get a single good launch, like bog... like if the exhaust mani wasnt leaking I was going again and leave off the limiter

So much to do, so little time...

What Tial you running? V44? Same WG you ran last year?

[BadAssPerformance]

Yes same as last year... f40?

Can you turn down your air compressor that far to check if it is not stuck closed?

[BadAssPerformance]

It may very well be. I'll probably dissect it all looking for the exhaust leak... good idea on compressor

[Turbo3Iroc]

Some regulators will go that low, others won't. You can also use a mityvac if you have one.

good job on getting it together and up there tonight, i wanted to get up there too, however, today was the first day i drove my car too, and had some issues also, but i believe there ironed out.....i helps to "hook up the turbo" to a turbo car ( they dont like flaping waste gate pucks) shhhhhhh

theres a shot of the front of your car in the august 2010 issue of mopar muscle

[BadAssPerformance]

I heard about that pic, just got a copy too! Too bad prolly no FWD class this year

[turboshad]

How about a 15.42 @ 112.19 with a 3.517 60' due to not one, but two bogged launches

I need to figure out a clutch switch, like the one to make you have to press the clutch in to start the car. Did any of the later Daytonas come with one that will work on my 87 clutch pedal??

I tested the MSD and the 2-step builds ~16psi but I need to trigger ti off somethign better than a thumb button.. I never got that to work too well the coupel times I tried it last year.

A clutch switch only engages when the pedal is too the floor. I have one from a later model Shadow but I had to do some fab to my non-switch clutch bracket to make it work. Another option is a switch for aftermarket cruise controls. It is a limit switch that uses a little ball chain that you put around the pedal. Then you can adjust when it engages. I use that for my 2-step and flat shift.

[BadAssPerformance]

Hmm... either switch might work.. pics?

Update…

Exhaust leak – header nut was MIA (probably in the left lane?) I’ll put new gasket in tomorrow
Checked compression – 155-152-155-150 – OK
Checked timing – Crank trigger moved… a lot – will fix tomorrow

The trigger moved or the wheel moved? You keyed the wheel to the crank, right?

[BadAssPerformance]

Wheel is bolted to the the stupid 2.4L press on belt pulley. It did this before and I fixed it but its been on and off a few times.. so it will get welded/re-sized today

[Aries_Turbo]

there is no key? if its something as critical to timing, shouldnt you have a key or a pin or something?

Stock its pressed on, no key.

I thought he put a key on when this happened last time?

[thedon809]

I always wondered why mopar went from using bolt on pulley to the stupid press on pulley. The damn bolts worked just fine.

Its still bolted, just no keyway to stop it from spinning.

I thought he did too. JT, WTF?

[Austrian Dodge]

JT, while you're at it, you might want to measure the depth of the UD pulley. I'm using an MPx UD pulley and when put on the crank it pushes the crank gear towards the oil pump. I remember beeing it somewhat over 1mm.

took some measurements and indeed the depth of the stock pulley is different. I had to put the UD pulley on the lathe and took a bit off. Fit like charm afterwards.

Haven't had the crank out to mill a groove...
