13 psi and climbing......

i just came back from nopi at norwalk, ohio an saw adams runs nice job looks good!

Thank you for posting my times Karo.

Today at Norwalk was a great day for racing. My very first pass was my 11.44 @ 124.53 MPH. Being that Turbo 4 is a Pro tree (my first one ever), i hit high boost in mid-low third gear instead of the 1-2 upshift just to make sure i had a good launch. My second pass, the fuel pressure regulator signal hose had blown off so the pass was a bit lean and i ran an 11.80 at 117 MPH with a 1.71 60-foot time.

My third pass was an 11.48 @ 122.5 MPH. But this number outta give you guys a kick, my 60-foot time was a 1.608! As oppose to my previous best of 1.66. The reason the pass was not a screaming low 11 was i missed third gear due to what we think is the clutch starting to go. Back in St. Louis when our first clutch went, it had the same issue. It felt spongy trying to shift into 3rd and would never make it. But all other gears are fine.

So tomorrow we may take out the trans and take a look before first round of eliminations. Hopefully we can manage to put it all together tomorrow for a low 11 or maybe even a high 10

Sweet videos. If only the Sunfire could rev as high as that Civic it would have been a much tigher race. Beautiful launch Adam!

he made mention of a clutch problem again

wow. that video was sweet. nice launching adam. that is the stock eco trans with dss axles right? your runnign an open diff, not a quafe?


13 psi and climbing......

well im back...5 hours and 15 minutes of driving after I left Norwalk. Glad to be home cause the road was getting boring.

i ran the Bracket 14 class in the eliminations today...did pretty good and made it to the quarter finals. ended up breaking out...and running my best time ever doing it...12.81sec. ill post the slip tomorrow but i was happy with the final result. 5th place in the World Finals. out of 21 cars no less. I can take that and be happy.

im sure Bill will post more later but as far as I know...NOTHING BROKE!!!!! for some reason the car just hated Adam on that run. Oh well...thems the breaks



I used to race cars, now I race myself.
5K PB: 24:50
10K PB: 54:26

dman hypsy.. u fisted that integra with a sandpaper condom.. nice run


13 psi and climbing......

that was nothing...i had some serious traction issues the first 3 runs saturday but once i got it figured out i didnt fall from the 12s.


i forgot to mention...the 12.81 i ran was with me off the gas for the last 200-300ft after i passed the guy i was racing. i can only imagine that pass woulda been a 70 easily with a good chance at the 60s. guess we'll never know. too many oil downs by the big boys prevented any other good runs.

any other videos?


13 psi and climbing......

We are finally back. The Sunfire did not break, metaphorically speaking. Since it was a pro tree, I was leaving off of the stock rev limiter and this pass, the rev limiter freaked out and I had made 15 psi on the line and when I let out the clutch, i spun the tires pretty hard. So other than some weird rev limiter problem, nothing broke!



Street-Legal 2003 Sunfire 10.58 @ 139 MPH

What a fun weekend! NDRA events just rule, if you've never been, make it a point to do so soon!

Thamks to everyone here on the.org for their great interest and support. We really achieved everything we set out to do this weekend:

1. Run best-ever numbers
2. Qualify for Adam's first ever heads-up, pro tree field (we'd been running the bracket races at these events, and decided to take a shot at the glory!).

Adam was having a ball drilling people on the tree...I don't think any of the quicker cars he faced ever got out on him first. Onlookers loved that! And it was dramatic just making it into a Turbo 4 field at 17 yrs of age with, of all things, a Sunfire street car! After all, several cars went home that didn't even make the field.

No, it didn't break, per se...we've been using the stock rev limit system to launch with, and for some as-yet unknown reason, it decided to go haywire in first round elims. Early on this season, I had noted that the car wanted more and more RPM to leave well, and was handling the power. Now remember...we are using a stone-stock ignition, so a 2-step wasn't in the mix. So we tried something truly ballsy...leaving on the stock rev-limiter. Now granted, this sounds INSANE, but as the stock limiter revs the engine up and down, as opposed to just holding it at 6300 RPM, it worked amazingly well. Adam would just go to full throttle on the first amber, then leave with the clutch at the green. We put many many passes and 1.60.something 60-foot times on with this approach.

So, Adam stages on Sunday, first round. Goes to full throttle, and the engine goes NUTSO. Popping and banging like a race car with a real 2-step @ about 7200 RPM and 15 PSI boost! Drops the clutch, and the tires just ignite, car doesn't hardly even move, he instinctively lets off the gas. We all figure it's a blown axle or the like, but no...the car is driven back to the pits for evaluation.

I find...nothing wrong. I won't bore with details, but it's just as if that super-effective stock rev limiter packed its bags and left town. I'm confident that I can find out why, but if anyone has any pearls of wisdom to share, please do!

We were allowed another pass later for exhibition, but with Adam's launch weapon absent, he really had no idea what RPM or method to use...the car bogged and while it went its best-ever MPH, the ET was shot by the bog. But, she's still healthy, and save for the mysterious rev-limit change, ready for more action.

Here's the breakdown of the weekend's passes for all you number-crunchers (Karo, you listening?); remember, this is Pro tree in qualifying:

Qualify Round One:
rt .245
60 1.710
330 4.923
1/8 7.462 @ 97.29
1000 9.627
1/4 11.44 @ 124.53

Def a great pass, our quickest and fastest to date. Adam didn't hit the high boost until partway thru 3rd gear, so we are confident that if he got to it earlier (usually he hits it at the beginning of 2nd), we could go 11.20 or 11.30 @ 125 or better.

Qualifying Round 2:
rt .161
60 1.683
330 4.964
1/8 7.583 @ 94.39
1000 9.882
1/4 11.804 @ 117.59

Watching the pass, I was thinking maybe Adam didn't get to high boost at all this time, but we got a nasty surprise when we read the data...yes, we ran 28 PSI boost, but at 16:1 AF ratio! Holy leanness, Batman! Traced the problem to an inadequately secured FPR signal hose that popped off, causing fuel pressure to be, gulp...28 PSI too low. Inspection of the engine revealed that it wasn't hurt by this potentially destructive scenario. Once again, the Ecotec shows me that it can take most anything I throw at it, even when I abuse it! We breathe a sigh of relief and prepare for Round 3.

Qualifying Round 3:
rt .158
60 1.604
330 4.816
1/8 7.43 @ 94.94
1000 9.644
1/4 11.484 @ 122.97

Dig that 60 and 330! This would have been the boomer pass, but the car balked on the 2-3 upshift...this is typically an indication that we are starting to overcome the clutch; it drags a bit when released and won't allow the upshift to occur cleanly ( I had anticipated this, so it didn't come as a great surprise...we are definitely pushing the clutch hard now) Adam recovers nicely, but the time lost drops the ET to a 'mere' 11.48.

But we made the field!

Sunday AM, well, the rev limiter takes a powder, and we lost. As we were up against #1 qualifier, heh, it wasn't a crushing disappointment. But we really wanted to get in one more pass, and the kind folks at NOPI allowed it when there was some downtime:

60 2.005 (yuck! bog)
330 5.276
1/8 7.790 @ 97.78
1000 9.946
1/4 11.751 @ 125.06

Overall, can't complain. As evidenced by the MPH on this pass, she's still healthy as can be, so the lean episode didn't hurt her. However, losing 4/10ths in 60 foot KILLED the ET. If we do the math, simply combining this pass with our best 60 ft of 1.604 would have made this an 11.25. Frankly, improving 60 ft by 4/10ths (a HUGE improvement!) would usually make a 5 or 6/10's improvement in ET, but this is all bench racing until we show it on the track.

If you review the passes, you'll see that while we ran our best numbers ever in every way, we just didn't get to combine them all together on one pass. So it goes with racing, lol!

It was a blast, and that awesome 60ft of 1.60 is also making me wonder just how much is left in this car...what a great chassis J-bodies have!

Now, we may either: A. stand pat with these numbers, B. try to find the problem with the rev limiter and go out again, C. just say 'Banzai!' and toss the DFI and Crane ignition on it and go out again.

Option A is easy, and with SEMA coming up, also reasonable (our project list is staggering!).
Option B sure would be nice, for this weekend shows there's certainly more in the stock computer-stock ignition-standard turbosystem with 20G and PortFueler combo.
Option C takes the gloves off, but is almost a slam dunk in terms of setting a personal best. However, say we go a few tenths quicker for a few grand more in parts...it kind of flies in the face of the car's mission statement of economical simplicity.

I'm torn...different parts of me want any one of the three. What do you all think?
