Kinda what it looks like at 25 psi and 3rd gear start

 

Gimme a second while I pick my jaw up off the floor.

Holy cow that's awesome.

 

Sweet Jebus thats fast

 

Lol if i start and hook in second, it will snap the speedo in a few seconds. 2nd i shift at 108 mph

 

 

Good one Giraffe

 

Wow that is rippin man!

 

All I can say is...... WOW !!!

 

nice...what are you using for a hood? I know our turbo cars generate a lot of underhood heat and my hood is starting to see the effect of it.

 

^__^ that sound

 

Just a harwood cowl at the moment. Gonna add some heat extractor vents over winter. It does get warm on hot days if i have to idle a long time

 

yes I agree...the hood starts to get a little flexible when idling for awhile

 

When i used steel hood struts on this car it would lift hood corners and bend/warp it. Extreme heat kinda molded it like that. Then i took the struts off and drove around. Heat softened hood again and it molded back into shape lol. Its crazy

I'd like to get hood painted but i am nervous the paint wouldnt last, it gets hot

Extractors will be there to eliminate heat when sitting. Hopefully it helps. It doesnt seem to go over 235-240 deg when sitting for very long time in warm weather. Most of time while moving its 205-210 on hot days. Cold days it wont get warm at all. It will stay 170-180. I have no t stat lol

 

I wonder if you could install some 12V 120mm computer case fans to help remove some heat. They can move a lot of air.

 

im running 180 or 195 t stat......I have seen 220-230 on humid days.....my hood is painted but im thinking of going with a carbon fiber hood.....not really sure yet....

 

I was thinking of something like that if the fan can withstand the heat. Everything remotely close to that header and downpipe has not survived without heavy heat shielding. After a full pull the headers are orange hot glowing haha. Paint on the strut tower has bubbled. Wire looms along the fender have completely melted. Plastic shock tower caps melted

 

yep, should be able to easily merge onto the interstate.

 

Just one word. SICK!

 

That's crazy it gets that hot under the hood! Melted strut tower caps? Wow!
I haven't taken any under hood temp readings while driving but mine stays amazingly cool. My hood is fiberglass too and I have always had some heat reflective mat on the underside above the turbo and downpipe but I'm thinking of just removing it since the adhesive never holds that well. Every time I stop and open the hood the underside is no warmer than if it was a completely stock car.

IIRC you have everything heat wrapped? Just the fact that you are running twins which have a lot more hot side surface area mixed with the fact you are making over twice the HP, that might be a pretty big factor!
I ceramic coated my entire hot side this year and I've noticed a big difference in radiant heat coming off of everything.

 

I have wrap and heat shields everywhere lol.

I tell you what, i'll take a pic of my wideband controller box that got exposed to the heat. Can see where the plastic turned liquid and rolled down the corner like wax on a candle lol. Still works

 

Best mod so far has been keep the drag rims and tires on car at all times. Comp gray paint matched. 14 psi pressure they are hooking 25 psi boost from a roll. I couldnt go over 17 on the 19" mickeys

 

That's crazy about the wideband too. Where is the controller mounted? Which tires are those that you are running? And what type were the Mickey Thompsons? I'm pretty amazed anything hooks at 25 psi from a roll on the street. Are we talking even in first gear?

 

These are et streets 295/55/15. My other street tires are et streets 305/35/19. Similar if not same compound. Just dont work as well lol

No first gear. First can hold maybe 10-12psi occasionally, but second has held 22-23 psi from a 50 ish roll. Its nuts. Car is a monster once spooled

 

And overshoot his exit by a couple of county lines...

 

So awesome! Great job!

 

What kind of electric fans do you run?

 

Ls1 factory fans and a mishimoto 8" on the oil cooler at the moment. Gonna place that on trans cooler soon

 

Do you run your fans off of temp relays or just have them wired to run full blast when switched on? Can you PM me some additional info on your oil cooler? Possibly some pics? Thanks!

 

One is pcm controlled. One is switched. Oil cooler fan is also switched

 

What kind of oil temps were you seeing before you put your oil cooler in? Same goes for coolant temps.

How much did it drop both oil and coolant afterwards?

 

No idea on oil temp but i noticed oil pressure stayed higher longer, so its taking some heat out.
Coolant temps didnt seem to matter once it got to operating range. Always had 2 fans running on warm days. I may be seeing 5-10 deg less than when i ran without oil cooler but thats just a guess

Oil cooler is small tho, something like an 8x8?

 

Awesome pull man

 

Trans may have been slippin on this run lol got a new one in. So far feels better but still early. Havent beat on it

 

That thing is pulling like a rapped ape!!

 

Nice pull! Looks like it will make things blurry in a hurry!

 

I think your gas gauge moved just as fast in the opposite direction.

Nice, 25psi on a V8 is a wonderful thing.

 

Lol it did move abit but think it was just all pushed back to the back of the tank from the force! Haha

 

So when you drive normal cars, do you have a hard time staying awake? Man is that fast.

 

Lol i have a hard time driving my all stock 91 305 tpi z28 haha. Thats why its getting a turbo

 

Nice
