Well ever since I got my Ty, my freind has been wanting to race me with his 97 GSX. Mods list:
"JDM" cyclone six bolt motor w/1st gen DSM intake manifold & Throttle body(still has 2g tb elbo) By far not a "built motor" was just a replacement for his stock 7 bolt which crankwalked twice.
Big 16g Turbo
walbro 255 pump
3" test pipe & exhaust
k&n w/hard intake pipe
Greddy Type S bov
Spearco FMIC
custom front bumper w/ huge opening for more air flow to the fmic
weight reduction- no spare, jack, carpet , hatch cover or other misc junk, maybe 40-50 lbs
Car ran 13.9 @ 4800 asl before the fmic
on Saturday, it was one of the last good days of the year so I decided to go for broke. Made sure the aquamist was working, filled the resivor up with methanol, mixed 1 gal toluen/1gal xylene(all I could find in my town at 5 pm on a sat). Hooked up the data master and started tuning. My boost is coming in way below target(maybe 4 psi low?) ended up with the ultimate set at T2-20(all i had the guts to run) and hitting about 16 psi. I was seeing 0 knock retard all through 1st, then with a jump up to about 5-6 at the shift, then it going back down.
When I run into him, he actually tells me he does not want to run from a stop beacuse he's trying to sell it and worried about blowing up his center diff/transfer case. We decide to get on the freeway and go from a slow roll. On the way out, god smiles on me and gives us a red light next to eachother. We roll down the windows, and tell eachother what the hell. I pulled off a crazy launch, hit full boost before the light had turned green. truck actually started to spin the rear tires and walk towards my freind as I was sitting there, so I left a hair before the light turned green. Spun the tires and truck was all over the place, but I manged to keep it in a semi straight line. I heard him rev up the motor to launch but after I cut the light, he just sat there. After he caught up to me his first words from his mouth were "god damn." we catch another light, and he will not go from a stop. :fist:
We get on the freeway, and go from around 50-110. I had him at first, untill about 100 where he pulls about 1/2 a car length on me. I feel the truck put up a great fight, seeing as how the 2g dsm is one of the most aerodynamic cars built, and the Typhoon has the aerodynamics of a house. I also had my g/f in the truck, and he was by him self. He was utterly pissed that my truck stayed right there next to him from a roll, and he definatly didn't want any from a stop.
I really wish he had raced me from the stoplight, would have been cool to see 2 awd's fighting for traction. :rock:
