Twin Turbo V8 Typhoon $$ Race

Re: Twin Turbo V8 Typhoon $$ Race

i don't have a boost controller in my truck yet. I don't know if i'll bother with one prior to NATS. My guess is that i won't, as i don't feel like modifying anything while it's running...this close to NATS (given my prior record of taking shit apart and not putting it back together :rotf: )

besides i sorta like not even having the option to run more boost right now while i learn the truck and get a good base tune.

The CA tune definitely isn't a perfect PA tune. I'm much more humid here...although BG in August might be similar to CA. Who knows.

i say ill win in my jeep since they both still say typhoon odds of them running in another month are slim.

don't even begin to think that your jeep is going to survive NATS without getting a Typhoon Wannabe sticker, or 5...placed on it. :lol:

Re: Twin Turbo V8 Typhoon $$ Race

with pictures of said stickers for those that can't make it? Or will it be one of things that you just have to be there for?

A common know rule is if you want to see something less reliable than SyTy, then look at whatever vehicle Don is driving. Inevitably he will break it.

If you wanna see, come to nats :tup:

I dont think their should be any "rules" Mike said $50 that his truck beats Jeff's, there werent any stipulations.

Run what ya brung, you know you guys arent going to just line up once.

And I know what you mean Mike about not having the boost controller, i know as soon as I put one on ill have to hit the "make more hp" button.

Re: Twin Turbo V8 Typhoon $$ Race

Ok Renz, got it 90% back toghether last night. Going cruising tonight with it, get a few miles on this motor and be ready for you. Your going down. Heck I might even be able to make 2 passes before you finish with the first pass.

Have you even gotten a trailer hitch made for the jeep yet or are you gonna take the hoe?

Re: Twin Turbo V8 Typhoon $$ Race

50 miles put on the truck last night there renz.....just finished getting all my lights to work on the damn thing, sitting inside as I type this. You ready? Did you take it apart yet?

Funny story last night, in left turn lane, 2 turn lanes but the right one ends as soon as you turn. Jeep in right side turning I see he is wanting to beat me around the turn so when he is forced to merge he is in front. LOL I had other ideas....as I turn corner I lay in throttle a bit, AWD is nice but 600+ ft lbs or torque and a corner equals truck starts to get loose and sideways, honestly gave me a huge rush, but right as I turn the power wire for fuel pump comes off the battery, so there I am dead coasting in front of said jeep. Had to pull over and fix it. He was probably laughing a bit while my hand was shaking from excitement. Never had it get sideways before.

Went to dinner, autostore for some lights and had a guy in camaro stop by to check it out.

So what you're saying is all i have to do to win is making the entire 1320'? You better take a wide turn to get to the staging lanes so that no wires come loose.

My own Crappy cell phone video for you.

0-70 or so 1/2 throttle, 2 psi or so. Timing is WAY cut back now.

Re: Twin Turbo V8 Typhoon $$ Race

Give Renz a couple weeks.He'll have his shit all dorked up.

Re: Twin Turbo V8 Typhoon $$ Race

Ok little boy, you ready?

Brand new Accusump is installed, no more loosing oil pressure for me. Thanks to Dabney for hooking me up with that.

Boost is still turned down but the last oil change shows real good news and nice and clean.

Hopefully you pack your money for me to take home also.

 

[MikeRenz]

Re: Twin Turbo V8 Typhoon $$ Race

i replaced a torn silicone coupler last night. now making boost upon 1/4 throttle. :tup: The only time my oil pressure reads low is from 1k-2k rpms...other than that its normal - makes me wonder if it's just my sender / vibrations throwing off the reading.

But yes, i'm ready. Gotta upload a different shift program for racing - think i'll name that file JeffEater.
