Was a fun race! I'm still trying to figure out why your car pulled on mine at the end of the track with 50hp/100tq less, but I'm guessing it is the difference in weight combined with the drag of my bodykit, no undercover and no fender liners? Yes, I'm at the notorious HP ceiling, where I'd need...

I noticed that my setup gets leaner as the boost increases (22psi compared to 26psi). Is this inherent with the Lex AFM/550's? Just wondering if this is caused by either: 1. the billet 7-blade 60-1 style turbo compressor is more efficient at higher boost? 2. one of my dual walbros may not be...

If you're 89+, can you swap in 87 mounts and brackets? I just run stock 87 mounts with a Bic poly dampener, and it's been fine at 375-450 hp, no engine vibes, and very little movement.

This is funny: When I was racing you at the Pac NW meet, I heard a strange noise and I thought I might have broken my clutch or tranny. Turns out it was the sound of your wastegate muffled through my helmet and closed windows. I had never heard your WG before, so it took me till the end of the...

The inner rim of the front wheels tend to contact and rub when the wheels are turned at full lock. Just makes a bit of noise when pulling a U-turn. Spacers would solve this and get rid of the sunken in look of of the TT fronts.

My speedo just stopped working. Is it usually the lower one that fails?

Here's a few more pics I found, enjoy!

More noise and smell than it's worth.

Not sure, you'd have to ask my painter for all these details. www.autoimage.ca I just chose a color, and donated a kidney for payment :biglaugh: A couple of pics at the track at the Pac NW 2009 meet: Duane's rear wheels don't look too bad considering the wrong offset for my car.

The car is only tuned for pump gas + water/meth at 22psi (SAFC, 8 degrees base timing), and I simply ran a mix of pump and C16 for the dyno at higher boost just for fun. So the power left on the table may be from not enough timing for 28psi and 100% C16 fuel. Looking forward to running a...

Sure I'd like to see the difference the tuning made vs the stock timing map. I'm also wondering if the dynos I used for testing are loaded properly for my car. I see 15psi at 3600rpm on the street, but the 2 dynos I have done seem to show much later spool.

It's a .84 T4. I'm using a quick spool valve and in 4th gear on the street it hits 15psi at 3600rpm.

Most people probably think I leave them up for looks. The truth is, I haven't had a chance to install my hidden hood pins, and the front left corner of the hood lifts a good 1" at higher speeds, and the headlights help keep that front lip out of the air and reduce the hood lift. :biglaugh...

Yeah, my car is on the portly side, targa with a full stereo and subwoofer, 3950lbs with me in it. Traction was pretty good with Duane's drag radials, although they may have slipped a bit. Running a stock 5 speed and rear gears, I think they are 3.93 being an '87. I don't have a 2-step or...

Stock 7M-GTE engine with metal head gasket and 62mm billet HTA3586 turbo, ARP rod & head bolts. Stock ECU with SAFC, Lexus AFM, 550cc injectors, water/methanol injection. These pulls were done in 85 degree weather on a mix of 92 pump and C16 race fuel, plus the water/meth. The red lines show...

Heh! 50 psi base fuel pressure on 550cc injectors, plus water/meth injection adds fuel; pulling over 20% fuel on the SAFC :naughty:

Finally hit the 500hp mark! I'm amazed that the torque hit 503! :aigo: Who needs a 2JZ? This engine kicks ass! 515 rwhp and 503 ft/lbs of torque at 28psi in hot weather. These pulls were done on a mix of 92 pump and C16 race fuel, plus the water/meth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnR-JyH7f-0
