The CP autox bird Reply #286 – January 26, 2012, 12:16:51 AM Quote from: 87merc;378288This car makes me want to cut my own face off. I'm such a failure at being a car enthusiast... Don't quite understand this.....Hopefully tomorrow I will remember to take pics of what came in on monday that I've been waiting for since september. I've been spending a good amount of time trying to figure out how to get tires 1 1/2-2" wider than what I have on there now. I did manage to finagle the front coil over springs up high enough that I got the rear 315/30/18's on the front with plenty of clearance. This will give me more playing room to get goodyear 25x13x16 slicks on it. Planning on getting a set of REAL RACE WHEELS for it in 16x12, most likely with their solid centers(Look like autodrags) or their standard centers. http://www.realwheel.net/products.php?catid=17 Quote Selected

The CP autox bird Reply #289 – January 26, 2012, 06:38:21 PM hell, I loved the 1.5 on an unported head. I'm hoping this acts better than my homeported iron head with a 1.9 in it. My 1.5 wanted to go farther than my 1.9 in rpm range. 7000 is where the 1.9 quit pulling, but the 1.5 easily went 7500 so that probably tells me I messed up on the porting on my iron head.

The CP autox bird Reply #292 – April 16, 2012, 10:57:28 PM Well, Bo finally got my intake to me. I feel bad for making him do stuff while his hand was broken, but finally got the new engine in and running!! Few pics and a video.Turbonetics T3/T4 TO4EComparison left to right - IHI, .48 T3, TO4E - thought I'd throw it in here, lol.Running vidI can't believe this thing pulls 21" of vac at 950rpm!

The CP autox bird Reply #295 – April 17, 2012, 05:58:53 PM as far as I know, turbonetics T3/T4 TO4E .63 stage 3 turbine, ceramic coated turbine housing, not sure exactly on the compressor, but its probably a .50 a/r. Didn't take it apart to measure anything. Bought it used Quote Selected
The CP autox bird Reply #296 – April 18, 2012, 09:41:06 PM I'm loving this setup alot already, and its still not running right! At this point its only on 10psi and its spinning the street tires(265/35/18 toyo R888's) almost as hard as the old engine did on 22psi. Runs down the road pulling 10"+ of vacuum, and idles a steady 900rpm. The only thing I dislike is that the exhaust got a bunch louder, lol. Quote Selected
The CP autox bird Reply #297 – April 19, 2012, 01:57:18 AM I love your car man. It's really nice seeing someone a few steps ahead of where I want to be. I really want the 120 degree rotated intake, but I don't know if I should get rid of my ABS. On second though... my ABS doesn't even work! :hick: Quote Selected
The CP autox bird Reply #298 – August 27, 2012, 10:14:36 PM Its been a while since I updated this, but I have been having issues with my old oil breather tank(moroso - pretty much the exact setup stinger performance has on thier site) because everytime I would make a move to catch the car sliding, the tank would fill with oil and overflow. Tried different things including welding more baffles inside the tank, but still did it very easily. Anyways I was searching online for oil breather tank pictures and came across a couple pics from a company in austrailia that had a tank with multiple chambers and two breathers, AND a pricetag of $600! I looked at it a while and thought I can make that pretty easy so last week was spent building the tank and getting it installed. FinishedSo far I have run one race with it on concrete (usually the only place the oil overflowing happened) and it didn't leak a drop! Did exactly what it was supposed to so I don't get yelled at at the SCCA Solo Nationals in Lincoln, Nebraska September 4-7. See how I do against 43 other drivers!We went to Oscoda, MI a couple weekends ago to do a trial run on the popup camper we are taking to Nationals(dad is going too and driving my car), and we were running old tires to practice on before we put new tires on to scrub them in for nationals, but the old tires didn't last through the spin I couldnt catch. Somehow the tire got caught in one of the wide concrete cracks and ripped the tire down past the metal cords:( Got both front tires changed before the next run came around, even as a two driver car!
