Thread: New setup and build....Updated 5/25/12...723whp!!!!!!

Publicity stunt! lol. This car is a beast brother!

i am your FB friend, but the first link still says unavailable

Look on my wall, i posted it a couple days ago. If you cant find it then let me know. Im trying to have Aaron and Sergio post them up to youtube to make it easier

Not sure whats up with it. Ill try posting it again. Hold on.

put em on utube ashton... wish u got the 9sec pass b4 the pump exploded! you should do sr16 oil pump and ati balancer next time.

have you ever considered balancing the crank, pully and clutch setup all at once?

Well the pump didnt explode, it just had some unusual wear on the gear and housing.

Definitely doing an ATI balancer. That should help avoid any problems with the oil pump, that and not revving past 10k again. I really dont need to, I just need to shift my powerband down a bit which the bb 6768 will do. At 9700 rpm with 24.5" slicks my 4th gear will take me to 162mph and thats not counting for any tire growth which usually youll get about 1/2" at those speeds. I plan to hit 160 traps when Its back out. No question and 9's will come. The car with the power it has was enough to hit a 9.6-9.7 at 155mph on a good pass. Just didnt happen.

Ive got some key changes that will give the motor much more reliability at these power levels.

Post the vids in the Neo VVL group on facebook too.

Ashton, drop the oil weight a little bit. You can rev higher with less issues. Not like you are going to be starving for oil pressure at 7k+ with a VVL pump.

What does your car Weigh with you in it?

2350 or so id say.

As far as oil weight, Ive never had problems with mobil 1 15w50. The heavier weight would protect the bearings better regardless. This wasnt an oil problem. lol. Ive always used mobil 1 and my bearings have always looked fresh as can be. The bearings i pulled out of my old motor with 16k miles of absolute torture looked brand new still. No wear at all.

Also another thing im going to do when i put it back together is get the HX series ACL's they are a bit harder and have .001" extra oil clearance. This is what the big honda boys use on their motors. Figured id give the looser bearing clearances a shot.
