New Best Tonight

[4Jenna]

Well after tons of issues forever it seems, I got a decent baseline on the car tonight.

1st pass I turned the boost controller down a few turns to be safe. All my runs were off the footbrake also. My best run was right off the trailer, I tried up'ing the boost and playing with tire pressure but the track and the car didn't like each other. My best 3 passes

[email protected] 1.78 60' on 8psi
10.43@137 1.94 60' on 10psi
10.33@138 1.91 60' on 11psi

I went 138 3 times on various runs, but the 2.1-2.2 60's really hurt the et (high 10s)

331
MPT70
TW heads
Glide
MT DR

Finally getting there, the lil 500$ turbo really surprised me.

Hey man Congrats!

At which track were you racing?

 

[RIO5.0]

Thats some serious mph right there.....the little turbo that could...

 

[4Jenna]

Speedworld, AZ
To bad it was a "street racer" night with minimal prep and my 60' sure showed.

Yeah almost 139 mph on that turbo, I am still shocked!

[4Jenna]

I'm gonna try and head back out this weekend, there is a good race going on sat. so the prep should be great.
Play with the ARB and shock settings some also

 

[BlackVert]

nice!

what is your goal again ... 9.11?

 

[Adam95GT]

Yup thats his goal. and hes on his way to it... need to get that thing to hook with more boooooooost.

 

[4Jenna]

yes that is the goal, but it will not do it with this turbo. I have a 88mm waiting but I wanted to sort the car out 1st.
I never thought i had a chance at 9's period on this turbo, but it looks like it may happen when I turn it up some and launch hard on the transbrake

 

[MysteryMachine]

Nice congrats

Didn't you just put this turbo on not that long ago?

I don't know much about turbos so forgive me if this is a stupid question . Is it possible to use a turbo that's too big for a certain setup?

 

[4Jenna]

Thxs man!

I have had this turbo for 3 yrs, but I could never get the car to run right with the AEM.

Yes you can mismatch a turbo to a setup.

[Killercanary]

DAMN Chris! I never though a MPT70 would be capable of that! I'm blow away with the trap speed with a glide and that low of boost!

 

[4Jenna]

Me to Paul, I was and still am shocked!

I was also shocked with the ET footbraking a Glide, the 60's were a joke. Really makes me think what this turbo can do.

 

[Adam95GT]

glides rock at the strip

 

[ProKiller]

thats some awesome starting ETAs Chris. Are you going to try and push this turbo to the limits before putting the 88mm on?

 

[4Jenna]

Yeah I had alot of fun on Sat, low boost, car was great. No need to go mess a good thing up just yet haha. I want to race it this way for a few months and see if I can actually get a $500 turbo in the 9's on boost only...that would be something imop.

Sad thing is the track want's me to get a NHRA lisc based off my mph....guess if I want to go fast thats part of it.

 

[4Jenna]

Also the car made 570rw on 11psi. Those autos really eat some power up because 138mph aint no 570rw haha.

 

[YEAHLOH95]

great ets there , i'm thinking of putting a glide in my 91 unless someting better comes along

 

[4Jenna]

They sure work at the track!

 

[Guero]

badass numbers!!! Your really close to your goal!!!

 

[Nik_95Cobra]

Way to go man!
