TurboZ24 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 Well, I know I don't have a W Body, but it's still a turbo 3.1.......

TGPilot Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 I love how the tire smoke drifts over to the other lane...like a fog of defeat to the other guy before he even starts!! Looks awesome man!!! Quote
TurboZ24 Posted August 20, 2003 Author Report Posted August 20, 2003 Did some pretty big smoke shows there...... I wanted to raise the boost past 12 psi, but had regulation problems. It was a good thing we couldn't raise the boost, because the driver's side outer CV joint failed when we pulled into the Hotel parking lot. I'm sure with more boost, it would have blown on the track. All I have to do is bitch at http://www.driveshaftshop.com that their chromemoly axles only lasted 3-4 trips to the track. I was hoping that by October, I'll have the ignition finely tuned (it's still pretty rough, way on the safe side), then run again when it isn't 95+ degrees outside and see what she can do, then raise the boost past 12 (using my 2 stage boost control....) to see if we can get kicked off the track.

mfewtrail Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 awesome times Curtis, is that 12.49 your PB? Quote
per0781 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 in the video 12_67_run, what setup did the guy have in the green cavalier? Quote
mfewtrail Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 in the video 12_67_run, what setup did the guy have in the green cavalier? I was gonna ask the same thing before I got a telephone call a sec ago , I would also like to know. Quote
z24 turbo 93 Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 they guy in the green car has a 3.8 turbo in it......curtis says he is running like 9-12 psi he really didn't know but says the car will only run on race gas because the compression is so high with that engine........however i suppose he could turn boost down and run regular gas. ryan Quote
TurboZ24 Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Posted August 21, 2003 Yeah, that was Frank's 3800 NA with a turbo setup. Quote
TurboGTU Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 Dam thats exciting. Only on 12psi..dam dude. Dam. Imagine 15psi... Dam axles. I know dam well thats a 11.9 car. That 1-2 shift can be an ass. Or is it your syncros. How about light power shifting...where you lightly let of the gas without closing the throttle and using the clutch to gently release without lossing traction. Just something I was going to try on my brothers 5spd turbo coupe. Or you just dont want a heavy roll cage. 8) Rock on man! I'll be glad if I even hit mid 13s. With an auto of course...if it holds.

TurboZ24 Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Posted August 22, 2003 The syncros will not engage at high rpm. It's fine if I shift like before 6K, but we usually shift out at 7000-7400 rpm and it will not engage unless you let it spin down a little. Quote
TGPilot Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 What tranny are you using Curtis? 8) Quote
Robby1870 Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 I just got back to school, so I could actually watch those (thank you LAN), and holy crap, those are badass!!!!!!!!! Keep 'em coming Robby Quote
Pselus Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 yeah....those are fast.......those are cavis right? Quote
TurboZ24 Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Posted September 8, 2003 Yes, those are Cavaliers. I'm still using the HM-282 tranny that was stock in that car. I did blow up one differential so far, blown 1 stock style axle and 1 http://www.driveshaftshop.com chromemoly one, which I have to send back now..... Quote
4PASNU Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Those are some sweet videos. I wish my cars could run those kind of times. Thanks for sharing. Quote
topless94style Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 :shock: wow. i now have more respect for cavs. Quote
1trucavalier Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 its not so much thats its a cav, its the same motor we have with 5-speed getrag and turbo. He just did his homework. Whats the real plus is the lighter weight of the cavalier VS the gp. Most of us are spending a majority of our performance money trying to keep these things running. Quote
Aaron Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 im surprised you beat that green one so bad, cuz id think a SC 3.8 would wreak havoc on a turbo 3.1 off the line. Quote
hey1bum Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 it's all in the driver.... really nice videos. I had my roommates crappin themselves. Pretty hot to see a Cav burn the tires like that. Nice work. Quote
1trucavalier Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 judging from the 12.67 run curtis absolutely killed him in the launch, and was rapin him on his shifts. He obviously knows his car and when to shift it. It also proves that there is no replacement for displacement. 3.8 vs 3.1 with identical mods the torque of the 3.8 is just to much. Did you notice between shifts how much ground the 3.8 gained vs the 3.1. Either way both cars are absolutely awesome. Quote
