hey guys, after running a best of 9.93@147mph in my b16a powered crx, i have now upgraded the turbo charger from the previous t3/60-1 (0.63a/r) to a GT35R- fitted with a 66mm T04R comp wheel and a 0.82 turbine a/r.
i have fabricated a much better turbo manifold and replaced the tial 38mm gate to a tial 44mm.
the standard b16a cams have been replaced with CTR cams and i have had the head slightly ported.

the bottom end consists of eagle rods,srp pistons and arp head studs, this engine has done well over 100 passes with 30psi+/9000+rpm and is starting to get a little tired!.... lol
im going to push is till funds permit a rebuild!
i am hoping with these upgrades the car will run 9.70@150+mph,if we run a 9.70 and the engine is still alive i will try some wheelie bars and shut the wastegate,see what happens.... just hope i dont end up in the wall!

check the link to some pix




And here are som pix of the old hi-mount exhaust manifold i made with the old t3/60-1




AND MY TOW CAR A 242GT VOLVO THAT I HAVE CONVERTED TO A HOLDEN 5.0L V8 ENGINE! GO THE VOLVOOOOO........ LOL

what is that sensor on the valve cover ? ref/sync ?

i also notice some bracketry off the oil pump ? for a ref sensor/trigger wheel ?

im going to have to assume you run a motec on the car(sticker on wing) ?

looks like that intake manifold fits much nicer on a rhd

very nice setup !

Yes i run a Motec M400 ecu, the sensor in the valve cover is a GT101 and is used for the sync position, the bracket on the oil pump is for another GT101 sensor- i run a 12 tooth choopper wheel of the balancer and is used for the ref.

 

very nice !

do you have any shots of your motec box/ mounting panel ?

 

looks good

 

Damn, motec!

 

nice!

 

60-1 9.9 not bad

 

impressive! how much does the car weigh? stock sleeves?

when i ran the 9.93 it was 1900lbs and yes its on stock sleeves.. i am very suprised this engine has run a heep of low 10s high 9s and still lives-
stock sleeves, eagle rods,srp pistons,stock oil pump,stock valves,and stock balancer! i guess its just got a great tune!

we had it on the dyno a few weeks back, couldnt get a proper hp reading as we were having trouble with wheel spin... soon as it get to 7000rpm and over 24psi it would spin so suddenly it would instantly hit the 10.700rpm rev cut.

the plan is to log it and tune it at the track.

 

just melted a piston.the new build is going to consist of eagle rods,srp 8:5.1 cr on stock sleeves,arp head studs,.4 cometic head gasket,s2 valve train,and a turonetics t3/t4 with a 3" downpipe.we pretty much have the same bottom end but i was no where close to your time before my engine got fried.

 

For a 60-1 that make me wanna know where i went wrong. i would love to been able to put down that much power! very nice!!!!!!

i was pushing it hard!, boost was 34psi.... the exhaust back pressures were way to high! at 34psi we were seeing close to 70psi in the exhaust manifold! now with the new turbo/manifold/gate its 1-1 whatever boost we run.
intake temps are cooler, exhaust gas temps are much cooler, the only think i dont like its abit laggy, so we have to rev it harder on every shift to keep it in its sweet spot!

 

that's nice! What kind of gas ar eyou guy's using?

 

C16?

 

what kind of radiator is that?also what kind of rims are those you have on there?great job on getting into the 9 sec club and your car is sick

 

pretty nice stuff!!
