well thats good. i thought they were shipped earlier.... must have misread. so do you think that you can get 400 whp on your 8.. and what does it feel like right now? i cant imagine it being that quick.

 

I think 400 might be a reach without larger injectors, or alky injection. I will have good fuel for my next run though. 380ish is definately a possibility.

How does it feel? Well... it seems like everyone else is in slow motion when I get on it. The cool thing is, it never stops pulling... the power just keeps increasing with the RPMs.

My neighbor who owns the hopped up and now broken motor TII says "$#!t that is fast."
My brother in law said, "Dayaaaaaam... lets go find some STIs."
Guitarjunkiue28 said, "Wow that feels pretty good"
My cube mate with a hopped up 68 Vette said, "Holy $#!t that's only 1.3L?!?!"
My wife said, "Ok... your car is scarey now (as she grabs the door handle with a death grip)... we are taking my car"
My Kid said, "Zoom zoom dad" (Yes, he really did say that... he also calls GuitarJunkie "Different Dave")

 

lol.. different dave... you guys were great to hang out with in cali

 

hehe I'm picking my car up from mazsport this firday, just got a new fuel system, I think i'll leave the whole turbo thing alone... well untill i save up for the stage 3 kit, and hks dli. which should be around december, i have some gauges, wb o2, suspension and other stuff to get first, but that last post slavearm just did is inspiring me to maybe jump the gun and get the kit sooner. Damn you, mazsport for building a badass turbo kit!!!

 

incredible. i cant image.
but the hooking issue must be a terrible situation. have you floored it in first or second gear?

 

Its fine if you don't drop the clutch. The power really starts coming on around 3500-3800rpms, but I am running extremely stickly 180Treadlife 245 width tires. You gotta watch it though... because 1-3rd you can break loose. Look at the dynos earlier in the thread to see what I am talking about.

 

ya i saw.... really a beast.

 

Ah ****, I'm gonna play too, http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/pl...php?id=1750086

 

that was funny.

i got the clutch today let's see what happens next week.

 

Which clutch dis ya get?

 

dunno, haven't opened it yet.

my fd got alky injection today... does 0-100 in about 9 1/2 seconds. i'm traction-limited.

 

Are you using the same system rotary god talks about in his 500hp on pump gas thread??

 

na, i've had an aquamist for years.
i don't need programmable injection for what i use it for. right now, it's not to cheat on horsepower, i tuned the car right where i wanted it, then i **** in about 10% extra alky solely as a safety margin. i can go from 0 to redline in 5th gear and my egt's will never get above 720c post turbo

 

WTF??? all these bollywood clips and nobody even sent me a PM for the thread. SHEESH PEOPLE!!

I'm going to be back with the bollywood thunder later tonight. Oh wait, i still have a greddy turbo and am sticking by it

-hS

 

i've been really busy the last week, but we're gonna do a bit more work on the car soon. hopefully we'll get the alky on and get some more impressive dynos in the weeks to come. everyone's afraid of 91 octane

 

Slavearm, now that you've had a chance to drive with this kit for a while what is the fuel consumption like?

Cheers,
lg

 

If I could stay off the throttle, it probably wouldn't be too bad... as is, I am getting about 14-15mpg. I got about 18 when I was first breaking it in and taking it real easy. Ask guitarjunkie how I drive though =)

 

what kind of mileage were you seeing before the snail?

 

16-19 before the snail.

 

so not a real tremendous difference?

 

I get about 160miles to a tank now... I used to get ~200

 

my fd does better on gas than the 8, and it's over 400whp :D

 

lot lighter though isn't it ?
What will a fd with that much hp do the 1/4 mile in ?

 

Fd will run mid 10's -mid 11's with 400whp

 

hmmmm - no wonder I got smoked so badly the other night
wonder if anyone will ever get an 8 to go that quick .
