I went and did some testing last night at Cayuga to work some of the bugs out of the car that I've been struggling with (boost by gear, blown or ripped pipe couplers, etc etc). I managed to get in 6 runs and here are the best slips:

1st run:
R/T .732
60' 1.909
330 5.087
1/8 7.614
MPH 100.09
1000 9.758
1/4 11.541
MPH 131.48

5TH RUN:
R/T .410
60' 1.728
330 4.782
1/8 7.203
MPH 104.11
1000 9.284
1/4 11.021
MPH 130.87

6TH RUN:

R/T .448
60' 1.673
330 4.691
1/8 7.132
MPH 103.37
1000 9.226
1/4 10.987
MPH 129.06

Car handled well last night and went straight as an arrow. I need some work at the lights though. Missed third gear on the 4th run and buggered up the syncro. Tranny held up though, and got me through the next two runs...That being said driving the car home the syncro was getting worse.

Setup is :
1997 Acura 1.6EL
full interior
B18-81.5mm
Stock block eagle rods and wiseco pistons
GT35 and 3"exhaust
M&H 24.5x8.5x15
weight is 2860 with me in it
gsr tranny 4.4 stock lsd
stock port head
tuned by wiggum
Engine built and put together by me> Ryan Maxwell

Video or it didn't happen!! haha jk

Congrats homie! Job well done!

Time to change the sig! Will you be at CSCS this sunday?

 

Congrats, saw the car at marco's dynoing looked great

 

Thanks guys, I don't have any vids...wish I did...No I won't be at CSCS this weekend. Wish I could make it though. I think almost everyone will be in Jersey anyway. Sig is fixed just for you Jason! LOL

 

What did the mph in the 1/8th look like for those passes? You got any idea?

Nice runs man, I think I have some pics of your car saved on my computer at home.....

 

edited for 1/8th mph......thanks 13173.....what pics do you have?

 

Nice Job, and the 60ty is real good.

SlicksMH

 

Big difference a 1.9 to a 1.6 60' makes!

 

I believe it is your car, but the pics are of the car sitting in the garage with offset wheels up front with drag radials or bias plys on there for the street. Car looked good....

I hope that Im talking about the same person cause the pics I have of this car the dude is from Canada. It was a clean car.

 

not mine....lol..all good though!

 

haha, that was my old EL, those DR were badass on those 8 inch rims!

And congrats Ryan!!! It's about time you got that monster hooking up. Well deserved bro! You officially got the title of fastest EL on earth

 

Thanks Sam ! you sold the EL? That's too bad man.

 

how much power did it make? how much boost?

I would have been there if I didn't have to work? You got a rollbar? I keep getting kicked out.

 

It made just under 500 on Magnus' Dyno at 19psi. There wasn't a lot of people out last nite, so I had a ton of time and opportunity to make runs and changes. No I don't have a roll bar in as of yet...that's on the list for this winter.

 

you took 1/2 second off your 1/8 mile. Cool!

 

Yeah, car looked good on those........sorry for the mix-up, but both cars were EL's and from Canada.

 

Glad i was there to witness it Ry, it was definetly a sight to see to bad we can't make it this Sunday

 

The young tech guy at TMP is a jerk. If I run under a 11.5 he comes after me and boots me. I need to get a bar too. Who tuned your car? Marco?

 

You going to run in the 11.5 class on Sunday ?

 

Ralph tuned the car.He's a local honda tuner in the gta. Goes by the nickname "wiggum"

 

amazing time and really cool owner
two thumbs up

 

thanks guys !!
They didn't even bat an eye at the track when I ran under 11.5 numerous times. I do need a lot of work on the tree though.....Still learning to deep stage and shallow stage. I need more practice creeping the car forward into the staging lights while on the launch control.

Ralph(Wiggum) tuned the car. What a great guy to work with. He knows his stuff ! I would recommend anyone in the Toronto and sorrounding area to him. No I won't be at the CSCS event on sunday...I have to change the syncros in the tranny before anymore racing. Thinking of picking up the MFactory carbon coated syncros....Anyone tried them yet ? I need a cage too.....
Tony....thanks for the props !
