give me some love 8 valve runs 12.0@111

[RoadRacer4Life]

Woot my latest times outta the old daily d.. 12.0 at 111mph at import faceoff in montgomery.. I made some tuning changes with the car the other night and it seems to like it.. heres the rundown of the setup
Full weight car + alpine 10' sub and box and my toolbox with jack and all other trunk junk.. Car still has AC,Power steering, cruise and nothing has changed from stock on the rest of the car..

Engine is a Stock B230FT with ported 90+ manifold t3 .63ar turbine housing stage 2 turbine wheel and a t04e 46trim compressor wheel.. NPR intercooler, MsExtra driving DSM coil packs, 550cc injectors and supplying the extra fuel for the 110shot of NO2.. Mostly 3 inch exhaust.
Transmission is stock except for the accumulator mod.. Stock radiator loop trans cooler and wallmart supertech brand Merc/Dextron III
3.73 gears out back with modded G80 locker..
Tires are Micky thompson 24.5x15 drag slicks
Pretty simple and easy way to go fast..
Here is a rundown from the drag slip
60' 1.730
330 4.906
1/8 7.628
mph 89.47
1000 10.008
1/4 12.033
mph 111.26

and my video to prove it as always..

Kennys got me beat but hell if you gotta lose i would rather it be a car i helped out on..
its been a fun year and cant wait till next years goodies

[J_Jones]

congrats! Your Volvo just might have the best speed to money ratio on the board!

[Tick]

Damn, nice work.

[gsellstr]

NICE!!

BTW I copied this over to my tranny info thread. ;)

[BDKR]

Ha! I now feel less guilty for the $700 bucks i've put into my 530. :)

Good job!

[MrBill]

yeah thats really awesome. you and rob both give me reasons to keep my 8 valves

[242GTMD]

Nice to know I've ridden in all the 12 second cars on the board!
:zeeall:
Congrats Sam.

[klr142]

Awwwwwwwwwesome. :nod:

Literally full weight, and by stock engine, do you mean never even been apart? Or does it have a cometic on it and maybe some mild head work?

Props man! For sure! :)

[maxman142001]

Great job!

[Two 87s]

Congrats. How much boost? And are there dyno numbers for this setup?

Is there a vid BTW for Rob's run?

[RoadRacer4Life]

Props man! For sure! :)
Full weight +some nothing was taken out and trust me i catch alot of flack for that .. hell if i farted before that last pass it would of been an 11.9999 whatever.. The engine was apart once when i broke a piston but its got all stock parts in it nothing special.. No head work at all never been milled or surfaced or ported.. Stock head gasket and stock head bolts..

The car makes 270whp at 27psi on race gas and made 320whp on 22psi with 110shot.. The car runs consistant mid 13's on the turbo alone and runs low 12's on the juice.. I need to change rearend gears cause i am running out of RPM at the end of the track 111mph in 3rd gear is streching me out of my power band..

Its all about the tune guys... MsExtra for the win every time..

I like the 2nd run, you don't even see the other car till the very end :lol:

[Dr Dokeh]

Woowee that launches hard.

Nice work, Sam!.

[benflynn]

nice, lets throw some big ex valves in there

a little cold weather will do yah good huh?

with SE postponed to Oct next year we should see some more interesting results out of the SE...

[wildmanben]

Wow good job Sam, you guys had a really productive summer!

[dl242gt]

Great work Sam. That's one flying brick!

Did you wear shorts, too?

[qwkswede]

Doood, awesome passes there. Your tune looks very nicely dialed in.

What kind of boost control is that? Its rock steady.

[pwschuh]

East Coast represent! Sam that's awesome. Congrats.

(BTW, what is the specific gravity of methane? I'm thinking farting might have slowed you down. Taking a dump, however.....)

[SquareD]

Wow. Again you guys are showing what these cars are really capable of. Awesome.

It's crazy how people are sitting on the wall and crap, just hanging out. It's like that strip's in a Third World country or something. I expect an arab drifter to come through and plow though people. Insane.

[shaved240]

Wow just a tick away from 11s.

And god dam the stock 8v head is restrictive. 27psi = 270whp crazy

That thing leaves HARD!

loller, the JDM hoes got stomped, yet again.

RWD 240 TURBOS FTMFW.

[linuxman51]

there's crowd reports stating that the 240 lifted a tire on one of the low 12 passes, and so far nothing rolling around on the ground in the front...

Which cam? I broke 200whp at 12psi and I'm guessing the nearly 12mm lift on the exhaust helped. THEORETICALLY I'd be at ~300WHP at 27psi, but I bet my exhaust ports would have something to say about that...

Oh, and that actually made me say WTF out loud when I saw your car launch. nice work.

[BDKR]

Yeah, tell me about it! People here in the office were pretty vocal, to say the least.

[Roger-Dee]

That's a great time, 7.62 in the eight! Give hopes to the 8 valve lover/keeper!

Is there a way I can have this vid in the original format ?

Well yea the head will flow 200whp easily because it isn't really restrictive till around 270-280whp imo

Hmm, makes me wonder what my 531 with light porting and a set of 37.5 exhaust valves will do....

Welcome to Alabama.

I'm just watching the launch over and over. It's like one of those AWD cars you see that picks up and goes, and the nose never drops back down.

You and me both bro. I pick mine up from the machinist at the end of the week. :-D

[MikeSr.]

Way to go, Sam! Whatever hp you are making-ALL of it is going to the ground.

[gsellstr]

Guess I really need to get mine dyno'd at some point. Hmm, OT check next week maybe, $65 for a single run. Might be worth it.

[stylngle2003]

awesome dude! that thing hooks harrrrd.

i'd wait for a dyno day. we do 3 pulls with afr for 75 around here, walk in. dyno days are usually 50-60

[gsellstr]

Yeah, there's 1 shop in Sac that has a dyno, $120 for 3 pulls, or $65 if we get 10 people for a dyno day. Nobody really bucks up to do a dyno day anymore though so we don't do em.

Damn, I need to go faster next year. Time for some work over winter..

Nice run and really nice launch. Leaving with boost ftw.. Gotta love autos for that.

Thanks

I hear ya Renny! I leave under boost, but anything over about 7psi is lost to the smoke gods.

You NEED to get something going! You're one of not too many that actually think they've got the ability to go faster!

BTW I don't know how long the trans is gonna hold. I may be doing that R4 swap in the next 6 months (or turning the boost down).

[benflynn]

hm, maybe a to4b in a 84 ex housing and some nos to spool it

What a great shot off the line... blew the doors off the VW and the SHmonda or whatever the fuc_k it was... This made my motorcycle friends say DAAAAMMMNNnnnnnnnn!

Good work! Keep it up!

Its such an inspiration to work hard over winter in -30* wind chills.!

[RoadRacer4Life]

mm i think my 60 with his tires is better... :-P :-D

yea kenny has traditonally pulled some pretty sweet 60' times outta his ass and my 244 is pretty much a breeze to launch.. pull up to the line brake spool about 5psi and when the last yellow light lights up hit the button and floor it.. your pretty much on your way from that point on..

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

congrats man,

you sure launch that A-Dub super hard...

when I launch mine I'll hold the brake and rev it real high for a split second before the light, and then let off the brake.

Sure is nice to keep traction with those slicks tho.

Are you using some kind of launch control with MS?

Turbobricks is oozing with inspiration lately... Too bad I am slow! (aka have a boat)

what are your times versus the hondas/JDM-mobiles?
IIRC, like 11.2 ended up being the cutoff (locally)

[240T man]

holy sweet mothers of children that thing launches like a sonofabitch.

congrats, sir.

Stellar run fa sho.
The guy you ran against would have done better but he shat himself when you came out of the hole as hard as you did.

well the cutoff for the stfw class was like 10.80's but the street tire class was like 13.50 due to the lack of entrants.. i just bracket raced and broke out the first round..

he's got the pro budget....tear down after every run. just doesn't have the pro team, so it takes 3 weeks.

you can make mach3.2, but you have to replace the engine after each go

no budget, he built it out of spares and buble gum, maybe some string
