Track results?
|
Any reason why the higher boost runs were only to 6500 instead of 7500+ rpm?
I am guessing they were stopped because of the exhaust restriction. |

With that much power that thing should be a very low 10 second car if you can get it to hook up.

Came back to :drool:
Any updates? |

Car is down right now I blew out my ZSpeed CSC getting a new one and a OS Giken triple Disc clutch. I figured I would need the triple Disc because once I get the new manifolds and housing's from GTM I would be really pushing my southbend clutch at that point. I am also waiting on ECUteck to at least have map switching before I make the switch. |
What about the catch can? where did you mount it?

Just wondering why you went with a stock head gasket instead of something like Cosworth? It's not the first time I've seen it done and my shop actually said it would be better to go with stock. Thoughts?
|
Too bad HKS doesn't make a VHR head gasket... Those are the best gaskets.

So far so good with the stock head gasket 17k miles . |
Stock head gasket is strong enough to use one on new build paired with ARP head studs combo it will be as good as you want it to.
|
On more than one occasion, engine builders have recommend the stock head gaskets for HR/VHR turbo builds. I will be using these on my upcoming build as well.
|
Excellent, thanks guys.
|
Any updates on the beast?

The beast is in hibernation in my garage for the North East Winter upgrades coming in the spring time. |

Cant wait to see what you do next

Great build! Any reason you are going with the single? Slower spool up isn't a concern? Curious on the daily drivability of your setup. Thanks
|
The pond he plays in has a huge power level entry point. One turbo > than two when it comes to efficiency.

To sum it all up I am willing to give up some low in spool for top end power. I use the car for highway pulls and roll racing. Also daily driveability was not a problem with my old setup. |
built motor will love the single setup and the peak boost compared w/ a twin setup will be minimal!
|
I have definitely considered this same idea for the very same reasons squeeze.^ I have yet to release anything to the community on my recent happenings but needless to say ill be looking for more power and I too find that most of my enjoyment in the car is highway pulls or straight line enjoyment toying with my brothers mkIV etc. I originally got this stage 2 kit with the intentions of autoX and track only to find out there's really not much here in Ohio for anything of the sort; watching your journal closely I think I may decide to sell mine in the near future as well and speak with Sasha about something along the lines of a big single with that HTA wheel and alpha housing much like F.I. Is offering for their kit except one big single rather. I dunno. Ill keep following your journal and see how it pans out but i too am just ready to find out what kind of straight line power this VHR can bring to the table and no one has really done anything impressive this route to speak of.

I'll have fresh numbers next week Wednesday on pump gas near 18+ psi w/ timing and vvel tuning before we go E85. Back to Mr. squeezes badass build & thread! WTQ>WHP. After all he was one of the first w/ a built motor pushing the limits!
|
I'm right behind ya Squeeze.
I'm all roll racing and highway runs. Just not enough traction for digs. Peak performance is much better for me as well. Can't wait to see what kinda numbers you put down. With the new revised version and built block, the bar will be raised yet again. |

I am going with 1.32 A/R you are correct with 700whp the goal is to make that on pump gas 93 and go up from there. |

Cooling a sleeved block can be a challenge on these motors...especially since they run hot already. Depending on what your going to use the car for depends on sleeving or not. E85 is a winner on these motors with FI.

Does E85 cause less cavitation? |
E85 more stable fuel and allows for more aggressive tuning. It's like magic. Plus it's way cheap compared to regular pump gas.
Cons are its not easily available as pump gas. Only certain stations carry them and it depends where you live. Need biiiiiiggeerrr injectors and bigger fuel pump. Also it eats up gas suuuper fast. But I think it's worth it. Just wish I had it more readily available. |
I Agree with El and everything he said above. Another bonus and part of the magic is that it burns 200 degrees colder than 91 or "regular" pump gas.
I had to subscribe to your thread bro to keep an eye on your new build, so I too can want more power :rofl2: |

Yes I do attend meets and wouldn't mind meeting up. When I build my motor I did not consider a sleeved block for my goals at the time. I have never ran E85 in my car and dont run C16 .I have however ran 100 octane pump gas on occasion this is local to me. |
