Bill, that **** is awesome!!! I can't wait until I get mine! That is sweet stuff! Keep up the great work.

 

Guys, guys, let's be like Fonzie!

 

eeeeehhhhhhhhh!

 

looks good,but that trap speed is equal to a s2 ss/sc...without the mods its good for a 13.9 maybe better but trap speed wont be as high..so i donno

 

Hopefully well skip the bullshit and see this car on a 16" wheel with a 26x9 hoosier OTP

....btw bill , the car sounds fantastic with the muffled 3" . Nice and quiet , me like alot .

 

555r's are 80 thread wear and work just as good as nt01s 100 thread wear
Ours stock are 180 so 100 is alot softer. also traction A. they work great at the track' i had a set on the turbo cavy.

You are the moron kiddie

 

Indeed. We were not at full power...I suspect the hot, humid weather and very fresh engine.

 

no dipshit, listen. tread wear does not mean you are going to hook better in a straight line. road race tires are meant to hook in corners, hence why they have a SUPER stiff sidewall. you know what a stiff sidewall means in drag racing? failure. would you use a DR's at an autocross becasue its treadware is lower than your stockers too? good job owning yourself yet again

 

Um last time I checked , treadwear wasnt what u looked at when shopping a good tire to drag race with . A road race tire wont give as good a perfomance as a straightline tire .

 

I like the concept, but I am concerned we won't be able to get 16's over the Brembos.

Glad you like the exhaust too! Thanks

=========

Tire wars: Guys, this is a happy feelgood thread. Would you mind taking it outside?

 

that true,thats why i said better,as i know how the chicago humidy affects boosted cars..makes u not wanna drive them at all till night time,but the exhaust and boost increase did give the car what 20-35hp over stock

 

Ya on the east coast with cool weather for a stg 2 to trap 105. Here in az I had 2.8 w/tune
to trap 105. oh in 30* weather too.

 

hey bill, any plans on running a catless DP on this car?

 

when u really think bout it,a open 3" downpipe or full tbe 3" is same gains in power,maybe the full exhaust puts out little more since cars do need some back pressure

 

It's possible. We'll see if there's a demand, then act accordingly.

 

whats the stock boost level on the car, i see you are running 21+psi, u sure its safe for that turbo, the ko4 runs out of steam on my car after 6k rpms..

 

...opps , I totally spaced the Brembo's yall have .

 

No ****, road race tires have a hard side wall. we have 40 series tires so we dont have much to rinkle either way.
I was cutting 1.8's in the cavy with 20 psi no prob on nt01's

Lower thread wear is software compound/. jegs.com look up hoosier,bfg ratings.
Then go on your moms mini van and check her thread wear 320-400 and feel the diff

cuz thats how mazda designed the power output..not 2 cars with same turbo's equal same power

 

Bill, I would like to hear your car idling, and then taking off, (on the street) because it sounded pretty good. I just want to affirm my hearing....

 

who cares,ur gonna get this thread locked cuz of mom's involved..just dont post anything if u can tpost anything nice

 

Stock boost is 15-ish.

The K04 turbo has no problems at this boost level...it's fairly efficient still. We've been doing this to the Solstice GXP and Sky Redline for some time now with no issues, so there's a nice reliability record to fall back on.

 

Bill,. i sent you a PM.

Tire wars, yeah. thats what the kids love to do, i just gave you a option and was gonna let ya know how they do at the track friday & drama begins

Lots of people love drama on the internet more then enjoying the hobby of racing @ the track

 

but look at the ko4 efficiency print out from bourgwarner. then you will see why i ask.. and alot of the kill is the throttle plate on my car closes to lower boost input after 6k. .

 

I'll get some street vids. The track environment is so weird what with other cars running, and bouncy acoustics from walls and stands and such, it's hard to tell much.
