Re: New record in awd??

Ok, fella´s, sorry about the delay in reports.. So FUN U "chipped in" and showed intresst in the race :D

This day (saturday) promised good wheather and it realy was, :) sunny and not to hot, good air and a realy prepped track, tracktion was more than good, as to the first 2 hours was filled with som minor oilspill due to cracked rearends and som SAAB transmission the delay in runtime is frustrating..

Time for first run we (as proven on the street test´s) was afraid to break loos the tires so we did go conservative on launch boost 8 psi, Sy hooks to good (in reality no power) and feels and seems lame out of the hole then the map sensor fuked up and boost was gone?? we managed a 9,2@ 155 Mph.

What the F/&#"%(/%CK happened?? short of "fixi´n time" we had to line up again almost direktly, never found the bug, just got on to next round and not werry much time to reset launchboost but we opted for some more psi 9

Run 2 was as the first lame in the "hole" picked up some time but someting did´nt feel rigt so Robert hesitated some, and right he was, the left front drive axle had jumped out of place ruined the seal. :(
Still a new 9,2@155Mph :)

Whell this time we was prepared som up on jackstands and under he went and we managed (Robert then) to change the seal and axle and on the line again, this time with some "luck" (Track timer broke down due elektikal powerline trouble so we could only run one lane) this gave us time to do some more fiddling on the boost settings

Third run better out of hole (still only 1,58 at 60 foot) and the Sy seemd a lithle powerless out on track, but a 9,0@156Mph something starts to cooking yeahh :D

This was the last run for the day so we started to get ready to go home, when track officials told us everyboddy would get one more lap NOW, before the NOIS PERMISSION runs out (about 30 minutes left of tracktime) so out on line again with no proper time to adjust annything AGAIN..

4 run of the day and we did some more "desperat" launch boost fiddling and NOW it did wake up this was what we wanted to see on friday that rained away..

This run was more that we aimed for with a 1,48 60 foot a 5,8@126Mph 1/8 but a lithle powerless 9.0@156Mph again, end of story..


The day was a succes despite no record time,

A Danish EVO was here to "run down" Robert a 2000LBS 1000Hp real race car with carbon fiber on every inc on the body that was possible, Realy nice and friendly chapp BUT was out for Roberts "hair", Robert left im in a pile of dust, a 9,5 was his best..

And Robert won his class AGAIN..

We have learned alot about some parts (one is dont go cheap on MAP, U get what u pay for) and the wing IS ON FOR EVER :D truck is sooo stable and runs straight as an arrow, and behaves realy good
We´ve also learned to stop tuning at the street because, when the output on power is TOOOO much for the streets... its a lame horse on a good track :D

Robert is cutting up a video to "hit" the forum soon.

And sad as it is we might have only one more chance to run this season, its almost over here now :(

Just work hard for the money and U will :)

As the old saying, speed cost money, how fast U wanna bee?

But thats realy not true, U have to know what U´r doing too, the Evo ovner must have about a 100´000+ Euro in his evo, but still no cigarr

No record this weekend unfortunally. But finally it starts to move in the right direction. This weekend we didn´t get enough runs. But at least we have a very good baseline until next time. The best time this weekend was: 9.04 That is not so bad. We hoped to run 8´s but I know that we´re gonna run 8´s very soon, just give us the opportunity :)

Re: New record in awd??

Robert the truck looks and sounds great. I'm even starting to like the wing a little. Hope you get the boost sorted out next time out. Did you step up to the 212lb inj. with the E85 from the 160's and are you still locking up the converter. The engine rpm dosen't seem to be coming down on the shifts like before. Good luck in the near future.

Truck leaves very flat; front doesn't lift and rear doesn't squat. Even the bumps in the track don't seem to upset it too much. Very good work on the suspension. The wing seems to keep it rock solid on the long end, even if it does eat up a few miles per hour. Best wishes in your future endeavors to beat your own record.

race or get outta the way
Re: New record in awd??

Wtf is this? :D:D:D I disappear for 18months, I come back and I see this truck isnt any faster, $20,000 plus later, and it picked up a little over a 10th from when you were using the nitrous you didnt use. :D:D:D

And what the F--- is with this ricer wing? lol :) :) :D

Other wise sounds and looks phenomenal except for that wing. :D:D:D
( I dont care what harry thinks about that wing)


btw, I sold my old visor but if you want i can get you a good deal on one. :D:D:D

ed

ps take that wing off and you will lose a 10th.

Thanks :)
Ur right about the rpm Harry Robert did find some issues from the logg that seems be trans slippin some and that might be ONE reason the elusive 8 didnt come

As U se on video the truck behaves realy nice and calm still runs like a banshea, and the wing is realy one "secret" in ceeping the truck stable at speed, even if U dont like the look U like the smooth drive over the 1/4 mile..

Looks aint everything hahaha

Hi Ed

Long time no see. Hope everything is good with you.The most embarrasing thing is that nobody else has run 8´s yet except me:) I did this 3 years ago.... We don´t have so many tracks etc... to tune and test. If we had the same benefits that you have in the US, I´promise that we had run much faster than now!

Regarding the wing, if your car had that kind of power, so you could reach the speeds that I do, you would understand why :)

Don´t take me wrong I really like humor! :) And I miss the "battle" with you and hoover! Second place is first looser! :)

Good luck in the future!

Good to have you back in the game again! :)

Hi Harry

Thanks for the kind words! We try to do the best we can :) Regarding the rpm, I burned up one gear:( I still run 160´s injectors but it´s time to switch to 212´s. The wing make the ride so stable.I like the look very much too :) This testweekend we figured out the boostcontroller, finally.

Regards

Robert

Re: New record in awd??

Nascar truck wing would not just look better but would work also. Just makes the truck look like somthing in the Fast & the furious. this wing would look awsome & work to your advantage also.

Something like this one

Or this one witch you can adjust to what ever angle you want.
