vagen

yours is wheel HP correct?

I have not been on an official dyno yet but I do have Dynolicious on my iPhone. After about a 45 minute search I found the actual drivetrain loss % and I weighed the car at a weigh station. the results...... Car 1988 rx weight 2500# without driver drivetrain loss 25% test parameters 0-60 and HP acceleration G .53 0-10 1.18 0-20 2.19 0-30 3.10 0-40 4.64 0-50 6.02 0-60 7.80 seconds peak HP 157 (this is flywheel hp) Modifications: Ford SVO TMIC boost controller set to 12 Psi TWE DP 2.5 inch 2.5 inch front pipe, cat, mid pipe and tailpipe

I'm setting up dynolicious on my iPhone and I need to know what kind of loss is in my turbo drivetrain. I assumed 25% and did a run I must say if thats right it feels a bit stronger than 157hp. 0-60 7.8sec car just weighed at truck scales 2500# FOUND 2wd=18% AWD= 25% 5-speed manual only

Silverstone makes a great tire tough as heck too but.... not cheap

I finally got the intercooler hooked up

I'm in the process if choosing spring rates for my new suspension. I'm planning to take the car down another 2-3 inches depending on geometry. Not sure if I want to go with 350#f 250#r or 375#f and 300#r. I want it stiff but still useable on less perfect surfaces. I am also looking at a set of diamond wheels in 13x8 and fender flares to cover them. Subtlety is going out the window this thing will be all race.

what worries me is I can't seem to find any replacements for the rear of a turbo. any suggestions?

I was trying different things at an autocross and I thought since it was wet I could try the diff lock.... I couldn't even make the turn to stage. Now I have an intermittent click from the left rear... Lesson learned.

I'll go look for one this weekend I hope I can find one that will fit in front of the air box. While I'm there I will look to see if the Loyale they have still has a complete airbox. I want to see what an unmodified airbox looks like.

I do have some wiring to do I will admit that

Intercooler sprayer is on and working

fixed

here is a short video of my RX exhaust

the roof scoop? its just a stick on scoop and it doesn't do anything other than ruin aerodynamics. In fact I'm removing it.

I started the install of my intercooler and with the bracket to keep it solid I need to cut the pipes to hook it up and add the fittings to hook up IAC and BOV

installed the boost controller YAY 11psi and no cut wooohoo!!!!!!

I just installed the boost control and I had it adjusted wrong but wow 25 psi is strong!!!!! I backed it off to 11psi

only one problem I am staying with the 4 lug so........

I think intercooler is going to be first then more boost finally a TD04.

I took the car to an autocross tonight I placed 6th in raw time over all and was 2nd fastest for several hours. the fastest car tonight ran a 28.3 second run I ran a 29.7. For the first half of the event the fastest car was 28.7 and no one was any closer than my time. This is quite literally the first time I have driven this car in anger and WOW it's quick.
