Power is back

Re: Power is back

didn't less young his truck do 0-60 mph in 2,4? what happend to that truck?

2.6 per his signature (100in6), Les sold to Mark (Maxtor) in '03/'04...


On a related note, when is the next "prepped track" date Robert?

Re: Power is back

Might be a nice pic but it is also clear evidence of a loss of traction and if you turned those times spinning tires that far, I am super impressed.

Exactly. That's incredible!

Mr. Syclone is my idol.

Re: Power is back

Intercooler is fixed after the damage. With decided to go out on the street to testdrive it. The boost was 15 PSI, and the tracktion was´nt the best The black marks was about 230 feet. the time on the G-tech was 0-60: 2.6 sec. The only thing I can say is that it´s tremendous power on this V6.

This picture above "crys" out for a great title like...."DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA"
or something
Maybe a PHOTOSHOP guru could place your Syclone at the end of tire marks
either in sideways or rear pose....heck maybe even with the parachute deployed :tup:
Would make for a wonderful ScreenSaver, Poster, or Promotional Picture!!!

Congratulations-
Larry

Re: Power is back

Robert, do you have the front prop shaft off?

It appears to me by the picture that he does, which even makes those times he posted more astounding than they were initially. If it were AWD, the marks should appear a lighter shade of black until the back wheels spun over the front wheel marks, which would be darker.....not to mention I don't know of a single sub-10 sec truck that would track that straight with that much power. Just thinking out of the box...

Re: Power is back

any chance that I could get a copy of the high resolution version?

Thanks

Wrong this is WITH PROPSHAFT IN..

Robert drives his B.A. AWD at all time, only time we tok of the propshaft was when in USA (-06) we tryed to do some dyno runs..

And we´ve worked some to the chassie to make the car hook better and go straight with some succes no hokus pokus trix, just common sens on how a awd is construkted.

And we tryed FWD last summer when output shaft fromtrans to rear snapped. no cigar to that either.

Re: Power is back

come on. no detail on this build? anders you are so full off it..share some info

Come on, Anders.....you'd have to have this on video to make a believer outta me!!! Never heard of a AWD vehicle spinning the tires with that amount of rubber discharged on the pavement for more than 20-30 feet, let alone 230 feet. If he ran 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, this would equate to him spinning all four tires well into 120 mph + which would require his tires to be spinning at around 165 mph + to leave those dark marks at the 200 foot mark because tires have to spin faster than the velocity speed to lay marks. FWD or RWD, I can accept but I am chuckling right now at your claim. Hate to bust your air balloon but I've been around the block long enough to know the claim, the pic and the facts won't coincide.

Re: Power is back

serioulsy, if they had wings and 35PSI of boost, it would have been the new F-16 fo sho yow!
Anders sure did a nice job tuning that truck

Believe it or not. This is fact. When you´re gonna get this power someday, you´re gonna understand it. It´s no big deal to make a long AWD burnout when you have the power!!!!

Well, let's get reasonable. If your claim of 2.6 0-60 is accurate with the loss of traction exhibited, then a 1.8 0-60 is surely reasonable if you could hook up. With that velocity, you should be conquering the 1/4 mile in 6.8 - 7.3 seconds. I recall Robert's quickest 1/4 time in the high 8's (on foreign soil, of course, and supported with video) and every 1/10th second faster in that time bracket requires cumbersome patience, mega talent and money. No doubt he possesses all three but to convince me you guys are already in the low 7's running AWD will take video proof :tup:

Re: Power is back

Drag radials tend to leave darker marks then street tires, as does warm tires which will obviously be the case within a few few or so.

I know Robert enough to know he doesn't exaggerate or tell stories to make things up.

He definately wouldn't be running 120 mph at only 230 ft it take take him 5.8 sec to do 126mph (his 1/8 mile time). One thing about spinning the tires is that once at speed the marks become a lot long than you would ever expet. I have seen fast RWD car that leave a good chirp at 100mph, if you were behind him you would see 100 feet of rubber.

One thing is you have made the assumption is that he spun the tire right off the line, I suspect the tires broke loose after he was already going like in the middle of 1st gear or at the 1-2 shift. I don't think Robert's Sy is in the 7's by any means, and he hasn't made that claim,

Re: Power is back

I sure hope the ricers don't read this thread, they will be claiming cars are X fast based on the distance of tracks left on the road.

"Yo homie, my Honda V-Tech with the new superblown muffler is is a 10 second car, I know because it left 60ft of rubber in the rain uphill after my buddy spilled oil on the ground and we put 100psi of air in the tires".

Re: Power is back

i know anders knows everything and he could tune our trucks on the fly? of give us info if somebody needed help on the board

Re: Power is back

Damn, I was just asking a question. I didnt intend it to turn into this. LOL. I would have to say that Roberts truck is everything that he says. My personal best to date with my syclone is a 9.85 and people dont ever believe it until they see it run. I dont know if the prop shaft is off or not but I had a buddy of mine break one on a stock syclone so we had to unbolt it and it would then light the tires up and leave black marks at will. Just like the pics that roberts posted. Im not joking, we did a burn out for almost the complete 1/4 mile on back roads. I believe that we could have burned the tires longer then a 1/4 mile. It was actually a blast to drive it like that.

Re: Power is back

Bezerk U got it all on the wrong foot, I dont tune roberts engine have never done and have never claimed that either. HE and HE alon is the genius to this engine and the output of powers.

The talk about get to know what is done and so that Q is already ansvered on, Robert have been werry open and showed almost everything done to his Sy and engine thats alot more than anny have done on this forum, but as said on that thread: U have to go your way find whats workin in your combo... NO ONE will dropp every secret they know to another man.. try to get engine specs on a ferrarri F1 car or a nashcar or even Ur basic bracket race competitor, U get Zip.. I promice

I knows alithle about V8 NA engines and are a fairly good Holley carb guy, and Ive been around in dragrace enviroment sins late -70 Im an ol´school guy with some knowledge about chassie on RWD

Robert and I have had coffebrainstorming for several years and in those coffe rusch we´ve came to same conclutions about alot of things on AWD and the Sy (Bad Ass) and its behavior on street and strip. Still Bad Ass is ROBERTS CREATION Him and him alone is the genius/tech/father to everything on this Sy.. Svenne lends him a hand to ease of on taking down the trans and so, Im only there for the free coffe and bounce ideas around.

The Sy is to heavy and of in aerodynamic´s to ever reach 7 sec runs and still be streetably, we´re aiming on get it down to good high to mid 8 runs

And IF we get it U will have the vid´s and timecard to se for U´r self..
