New timeslip Options

Well I finally got my car back together about a month ago (it's been down since Christmas break with a spun rod bearing). I waited until I got all the parts I wanted and then put her all together, it took a little longer than I would have wanted but I had that little thing called school in the way.

The car is a black 4 GSX and I'll be back in Peoria for the summer, finally no summer classes, so if you see me give me a wave. Right now it has temp tage on it until my new plates come in.

The new list is:

6 bolt block bored .002" over without balance shafts
EVO III 16g
full 3" custom exhaust with a long 3" O2 housing that runs down to the back of the engine (the rear of the exhaust then slips on)
Tial 44mm external wastegate with external dump
24X12X3" FMIC
Tial bov
GM MAF and MAFT
780cc injectors
ECU is chipped for the injectors with several other goodies (along with the basic TMO stage 3 stuff, doesn't read knock until I'm in boost, I can datalog twice the airflow, etc.)
new ACT 2600 clutch
Shepracing tranny


So I line up with the stutter box set at 4500 since it was really gripping on the street. I launch it but with the new clutch and bald Yokohoma's, it bogs and I run a 1.8x 60'. After it gets going in first, I blow off the rear of the exhaust. I noticed it got louder but didn't think too much about it cause everything was loud, especially with the external gate. I grab second and take advantage of the no-lift-shift option on the chip. Now at this point I should explain that I am using Turbonetics house couplers on the blow through but I forgot to order the other ones so I was running the ACE rubber things on the ic. Well they didn't like the heat and ~26 psi so sencond gear blew a 2" gash in one of them. I notice it slows down quite a bit but again I keep my foot in it with my eyes glued to the tach, if I would have looked at the boost gauge I would have seen something around 17psi and lifted but I didn't. Third gear is perfect but I'm starting to notice these changes and the car doesn't feel nearly as strong. I then miss fourth gear and coast through the traps to a 13.2 @ 99.

So after $50 and 2 hours of driving, I broke on the first pass and drove her home, in the rain, with the rear of the exhaust hanging out my hatch since it got a little bent on the lip from bounding off the ground at 100mph and didn't want to fit back together.

But enough of that, I've only met some of you guys so hopefully this summer I'll get the chance to head to the track and a group of fellow DSMers. Also, if anyone that knows what they're doing wants to ride along with me and watch the datalogger sometime, I'd be greatly appreciative.

HAHA, sure, you break it, you buy it.
