The numbers.
Factory battery= 33lbs. AntiGravity battery with bluetooth tracker = 8lbs. The Install: Not too bad. Just have to move battery towards the cables to ensure it catches the hold down on the corner. I had to crimp my negative terminal connector to ensure a solid clamp on the terminal. Man, this thing turns my car over crazy fast to start. With E85, that's a good thing. Especially when it get's cold. The Bluetooth tracker APP is cool as hell. No more wondering where the charge is when the car sits for a little bit. |
I need to hook up the CTEK battery tender cables. I will do that later. I can no longer use a regular battery charger.
|
Let me know how well you think the factory tie-down clamp holds it.. if I should make a billet one or if stock is plenty adequate. (PS Folks, we sent him the one in the GT-R form factor case, so its noticeably smaller in the front-to-back dimension from a Z battery)
|
Phunk, I had to move the battery all the way to the front so the tie down would hit the battery like the stock battery for it to hold. I barely got it to tighten down. I would make one that way I know it won't go anywhere.

Be careful with the material you use for the tie-down. I picked up one of those ZSpec billet aluminum battery tie downs a number of years ago and it was close enough to the battery terminals that it was significantly corroded within days.

I found it in the parking lot. Why do you ask?

Enjoying the battery so far. It cranks super fast. My old battery was done. Glad I bought it.

Called one of my good friends to go for a ride. I could swear he chit himself.
LMAO!!! Depends from here on out are manditory. |
Well, Nitish21 on Instagram just popped his headgaskets and is pushing coolant. One of the guys I tried to help. Ain't that a bitch. It was the guy Boosted Performance posted about making 886whp on a DE. That motor didn't last a month.
|
Thats really sad to hear. Do you have some info on the build? Open / closed deck? Stock head stud size? Type of gasket?

Nitish21 is still not going to listen, I just have that feeling. He will end up being one of the many that have disappeared. The last laugh is actually on him.
|
I am enjoying the JarBlue approach. I am poking him in the eye and laughing at him.
|
Mission Accomplished, I got kicked off his Instagram page. LMAO!!!!!!!!
I don't think he liked it when I told him he didn't know chit and he was a dumb MF'er. |
Check this out. Valve float on video.
|
In case you guys don't know on a turbo car this can be a major issue. With the additional boost pressure put on the back of the intake valve it can induce valve float and a loss of HP. It can also destroy you valvetrain. I have always known what valve float is but I have never seen it first hand. The video above does just that. We don't see it that much because on most turbo engines the boost pressure is keep low. Crank it up to 30psi and it can be a major problem.
|
Car is still doing great. No issues except for the lack of traction. Ordering new rear tires shortly.

The other news is I am working on going to a MOTEC M150 next year. The car is just too much of a handful to not have it. Boost by gear and a real motorsports traction control is very much needed for safety. Our chassis is good for 700whp. Over that and it becomes very dangerous. Playing has to be limited.
|
Going sideways in 4th at 25psi of boost is not much fun. That is the only time the car just about got away from me. The speed you ask, I have no idea, I wasn't looking at the speedo.
|
Why did my little incident happen? I got pissed because it was spinning and left my foot in it. I got away with it that time.

New rear R888r's are ordered. I get a good quality heat cycle done on them in Arizona by Tirerack. That is why they have lasted as long as they did. It has to be 65 deg or higher before you can mount them. The sucky part, it is going to be too cold next week. They will sit in the garage until the time comes. Crapola....

Here is the link to the heat cycling process tirerack uses.
