It's Here!

**MagnumRT05** · 09-30-2008, 08:38 PM

Well after a couple months of customizing some stuff, the heart of my system is finally here. I have to say that its been very anxious waiting here and while I was in Colorado, but the time has come to spill some info on it. The turbo is a 1.10 A/R T6 Flange 85mm turbo and it weighs in at 50lbs! This thing alone with no juice should get me into the 9s pending a transmission. Now for some pics. Not great quality as its 8 pm here, so ill get some good ones up tomorrow instead.

Just want to give a shout out especially to Stu for his patience throughout this build and an early shout out to Steve at RDP. Its gonna be fun hitting 9s this year/next year. I may not be the first one that will get there, but I will have a blast trying for 1000hp w/o nitrous and them 9s.

Whoa. No question that's one purdy piece. But 9s on it alone? Woof. Good luck brah. I'lls be watching, that's fur sure.

That is a pretty piece of hardware.

However, I'm not sure you really understand what it is going to take to get your car into the 9's...... in that world, you're gonna be spending big bucks everywhere..... especially for a 4000#+ tank like an LX.

For starters..... let's discuss your plans for traction and a converter.... and assume that all of the tranny issues that fast guys today are dealing with have been resolved......

I'll be the healthy skeptic this time, since there are dozens of others that are keeping their mouths shut!

I know we have had our differences, but god damn that thing gets me horny.

Honestly, your 392 by itself should get you into the high 11's and with 20psi, I see no problem getting into the 9's. As long as the tranny holds up.

Good Luck, and I am not being sarcastic.

Well Ive had alot of differences on here. Im learning though that there are some things I know and ALOT more I dont so maybe being quiet on things and learning a bit isnt such a bad thing to do.

Ive got a pretty healthy 392 coming, so I was thinking along those same lines. I figured maybe a 12.0 on motor alone and then add 20psi to get to 9s. If I dont make it, I still have a 200-300 shot that will be sitting there but Im really not wanting to make a whole new fuel system for that...so with good air I hope to hit some low number this season. If the transmission breaks, so be it. It will make my TF 727 project go a little quicker. Heck, I will have until April so if it cant get done by then, it might be time for the upgraded NAG1 which should have many miles on it and many tests then.

Its odd how the goals have gone from realistic 160 dBs and a show car ones to 9s and breaking stuff with a 4000+lb vehicle.

9s?!!!! ahahahaha

I seriously hope you make it though.

**tank8289** · 10-01-2008, 01:22 AM

9's is a pretty bold statement. I have no doubt that your setup will be capable of 9's, but it takes much more than the motor to make the run. Remember you have to get the 4000#+++ vehicle down the track along with it!

**Super T** · 10-01-2008, 01:25 AM

For me to consider going 9's in an LX, there would be a HUGE cage installed before any other work was done.

LMAO........not to mention the rear,driveshaft,and a slew of other things.!9's.....lol.....can't wait to see this....hope you can drive as well as you dream.

BTW.......looking at the size of that thing where the hell are you planning on mounting it and what are you going to cut out to fit it in?

My thoughts exactly Erik...Good luck Richie, but I really wanna know where that is going to go, and do you plan on running an intercooler too?

It will fit where my current one is. The good thing about the turbo is that its very small compared to other 85mm ones. I did my research for months and thats why I got it. Its actually the size of a T-76 with adding about an inch in diameter for the race cover. I just have to move the turbo up a little so it doesnt hit the differential, fab up a T6 flange where my current T4 one is, and possibly install some bigger piping.

Air-air FMIC with water/meth def. Just have to see what Steve can come up with when he arrives in November. Im really liking the PWR cores though right now.
