HMMMM...... souds like knocking on wood is a good thing to me.... now this polished turd is someone elses pain in the ass.

MPREZIV · 2007-09-08, 02:59 PM

I sure as hell hope so! I've really tried to help the guy out, but it's like for every item you fix, there's two more fucked up!

wrxkidid · 2007-09-08, 10:05 PM

im not going to lie. when i saw this thing the other day i was kinda disapointed. i expected a full out race car, not a daily driver looking car.

bxracer69 · 2007-09-09, 02:44 AM

I think it definately has some sweet potential, but it needs more work for sure.

MPREZIV · 2008-09-09, 11:48 AM

I had to come bump this again... Talked to the car's owner yesterday. Specialty Z down in CA yanked the motor, fixed a bunch of crap, and got it back together, and it runs great! At 30psi, without N2O, it put down 713 whp on their chassis dyno! (don't know what dyno they're using) They plan on tuning it for 36-38 psi, and then adding the spray!

He ran it on the holiday weekend out at Fallon, and said he was putting down mid-10's with *major* traction problems off the line!

wrxkidid · 2008-09-09, 03:24 PM

not bad at all.

MPREZIV · 2009-03-23, 07:16 AM

One more bump... The owner called me late Sat. evening, to tell me that Specialty Z dyno tuned the car during the course of the day. At 38psi with the 150 hp shot of N2O, they put down 1,009 whp. Damn.

Nick Koan · 2009-03-23, 07:38 AM

Wow. Normally big number cars start to bore me after a while, but that is pretty impressive.

Dewey · 2009-03-23, 09:09 AM

wow, thats pretty bad ass

Impressive? Yes. Badass? Not until it's got a way to put all that power down.

Right now, that Z is just a really impressive burnout machine!

Dean · 2009-03-23, 09:31 AM

If you can't put 713 to the ground, there is no way making 1009 on a dyno is going to help.

Glad it is running again though.

MPREZIV · 2009-03-23, 11:08 AM

Yeah, he described multiple HUGE burnouts on the dyno, until they loaded down the rear of the car, had 3 people sit on the boot, and got the tires REALLY warm and sticky...

Nick Koan · 2009-03-23, 11:23 AM

Someone has been watching too much Top Gear

Count me in the group of people that would not be caught sitting on the a 1000+ hp car's trunk while its strapped to a dyno.

I'd rather do that than do the parasitics test on a Mustang dyno again

Oh cmon, 180 mph on a dyno without straps is no biggie.

WRX06TR · 2009-03-24, 08:35 AM

Yeah this looks like a blast!!

Dean · 2009-03-24, 09:20 AM

Lack of understanding of physics always amazes me. Why do people strap to sprung attachment points without fully compressing the suspension on driven wheels just boggles my mind.

Especially in RWD, enclosed axle configurations, it should be trivial to keep the tires hooked up by using tie downs on the diff and axles themselves like this car was

Yes, you need to keep the chassis as a whole from moving as any video search of dyno accident will show, but downforce on the tires should be done with straps, not putting people's lives in jeopardy...

This was almost fun....

Oh, that part's well and good.

Jacking up the rear end to get it off the rollers while said car is spinning at 160+, that's the fun.

WTF? Why in the hell would you put a jack anywhere near a car running on a dyno, much less at 160+???

Parasitic drag test... you gotta let the rollers spin down from high speed so the dyno can be calibrated to correctly factor out the rolling resistance of the rollers themselves.

Dean · 2009-03-24, 10:33 PM

Really? I figured you could run up the variable load based Dynos on their own. If the resistance is magnetic/electrical, not pure mechanical, I would think they would be just like a locomotive traction motor. Electricity in = motor, resistor bank = load.

MPREZIV · 2009-03-27, 06:58 AM

Dyno Chart.

Dean · 2009-03-27, 07:10 AM

35 PSI...

That is a big number! They are all big numbers. Other than a rubber version of the Flintstones wheels and lead or tungston in the trunk, I don't know how you put that to the ground in a front engine car...

MPREZIV · 2009-04-28, 11:12 AM

Bump-a-rooni. We should have taken bets on how long it'd last... Crankshaft snapped clean in half between #2 and #3 journals, according to the owner. Poor bastard.
