Bubbles Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I clicked on the link and I saw an imaginary video clip. (~broken link)
AWJ Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Chris, is that video quicktime format? I can't get it to play in Windows Media - divx? Music sounds good - but I wanna see the car. Okay - got it to work on the old player. Nice run man. Cool club too.
SPRUCE SC300 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 12.67 Not bad, not bad at all, in fact I wish! Sweet ride! Congrats!! That's what an SC looks like on :snoooorrrtttt: ;)
AWJ Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 OK. Stock TT motor? You running fcd and bcd? How'd ya hit 12? I'm going to have to get out to the track soon. The boost controller has been acting funny though ever since I got back. I hope my gate is not getting hoaky.
SC400SunDevil Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I have 2 words for you. HOLY bleep!! Yours was the white SC right? Whew. Thats pretty cool. What mods do you have??
quikturbo Posted August 21, 2003 Author Posted August 21, 2003 AJ, Actually it's not stock :) nor stock boost on the TT motor. I've dyno'ed 430rwhp 440rwtq at 18psi on 100 octane. Mods are GTE motor swap walbro 255lph fuel pump full -6an line to the end of the fuel rail (ie. FPD Bypass) Blitz boost controller Greddy BCC K&N filter ADFX fmic By the way, my 6spd is being delivered to my house next Wed. Yippee :D Hope you get that bc issue resolved soon AJ. Then get that thing to the track! Thanks for the compliments guys. SC400Sundevil, yes it was the white SC.
SPRUCE SC300 Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 If it is the wastegate, you can have it rebuilt. I had my Turbonetics Racegate rebuilt once, and spring changed once. What kind of boos controller are you running. Any MBC will spike boost, but if your running and EBC it shouldn’t be an issue. You might want to check your hoses running off the wastgate to make sure none are cracked or damaged. B)
AWJ Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Well Helder, what ride is that? Looks good there. My turbo is internall gated so it is a little more involved unfortunately. That will change in the future but for now <_< you know. The boost controller is an ebc. Made by DEB?? or something like that. Looks a lot like an HKS unit but never seen one like it before. You're right though. I need to check out all the connections and lines before anything else. Now I need to find the time.
SPRUCE SC300 Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Yep, spare time is come by. The engine in the photo belongs to a one year limited production 1988 Mazda 323GT. I’ve had about six of them, 2wd GT and AWD GTX turbos. 1.6 16 valve DOHC Turbo, AKA Familia in Japan. It’s the car that Rod Millen used to win his first Pikes Peek event after being unsuccessful for many years with the RX-7. It was a bad little ride that yielded 327hp to the front wheels @ 18psi and put down 12.82 partially tuned on 14” M/T slick and running to rich as hell. I had about 20k in that dam car, but loved every penny of it. ;)
SPORTcoupe300 Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Haha. Now thats what I call a sleeper. Some people misunderstand the whole point of a sleeper car. They think that painting it black and making the exaust not-so-obnoxious, makes their car a sleeper. But then they slap on a bunch of NOS and Powered by Honda stickers and then you find out that the car has no mods excet some NOS octane booster in the tank. Gotta give you props on your sleepers.
AWJ Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 I don't got no powered by honda stickers - .... oh... wait a minute
SPORTcoupe300 Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Yeah.....AWJ has the sleeper on the *bLiNg bLiNg* wheels. Sounds like you're going to be swapping those out for smaller ones anyways right? BTW....they look really nice and if I had the money, or knew that they fit well, Id buy them.
quikturbo Posted August 22, 2003 Author Posted August 22, 2003 I too had more of a sleeper before I put my new volks on. Infact too much of a sleeper, nobody ever messed with me :) Now I'm baiting in a few more unsuspecting victims :D http://us.lexusownersclub.com/albums/SC/DS...N1162.sized.jpg http://us.lexusownersclub.com/albums/SC/DS...N1155.sized.jpg Chris
jzz30 Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 hey how big are your rims? looks perfect :D how far is your off set?
quikturbo Posted August 23, 2003 Author Posted August 23, 2003 Thanks jzz30. They are 18x9 +37mm offset 255/35/18 18x10 +44mm offset 285/30/18 The front offset helps give it a much more aggresive look :) I've also got supra brakes all around, and clearance is perfect. In fact, the offset is based off typical supra aftermarket offsets. Chris SC300TT
SC400SunDevil Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 Those wheels look REALLLLLY nice. Where did you get them and how many arms and legs did it cost you? (w/ tires). Those sleepers are crazy! 327 w/ or w/o NOS? I didnt see any but I was just curios. You guys are crazy w/ your turbo chargers! How reliable is your car once you charge her up? I heard they break all the time and are very unreliable. Just wondering, Thanks.
SPRUCE SC300 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Forced induction is as reliable as you want to make it. If you invest in the right parts and most importantly and perhaps most time consuming the right tuning, you should be very reliable. In short, if you build it right it will treat you right! ;)
SPORTcoupe300 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Infact too much of a sleeper, nobody ever messed with me :) Maybe to the untrained eye. To me, any SC with a single exhaust exit looks a bit suspicious. Nice car though. BTW...making a turbo car unreliabe is much easier than making it reliable. Did someone say "triple the atmospheric pressure"? :P
SPRUCE SC300 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 :o Ah yes, over boost does cause favorable conditions for pre-detonation. I’ve leaned out a few engines in my day.. :(
