Well we finished the new build the beginning of May and it broke at the end of May, the weekend after the vegas IFO. We had standard wristpins and one let go on the dyno . So new pistons, new rods and a new block it is. Hoping to have all the motor parts this week so we can start putting it back together. It'll be aluminum rods and RS machine pistons with upgraded wristpins and RS machine 83mm block. List of new parts already on the car:
-PTE T4 billet bb 6765 w/ 1.32 a/r housing
-garrett 24x12x3.5" core with custom made backdoor endtanks by us, welded by Pfab
-custom Pfab top mount T4, twin 44mm tial gates
-skunk2 74mm throttle body
-Victor X i/m ported for the t/b
-ctr cams
-libertys billet case and dog box gears
-exospeed 3 piece front
-M&H 24.5x9.5 tires
-M&W pro 10 ignition

The car made 851.9 uncorrected in vegas on 40psi on a dynapack @ church's shop with church behind the computer. It made 743 uncorrected in Denver on a DynoJet on 35psi with team Mo behind the computer. Looking forward to getting the motor back together and turning the boost up.

In Denver on May 10th (first time to the track) we had a problem with gear based timing that we didnt figure out until after the tack. It was at like -27 degrees or somethin stupid in 4th gear so everytime i would shift to 4th it would fall on its face. On low boost we still pulled our best 1/8th with a 6.24 @ 122. 1st gear was 16psi, 2nd was 24psi, and 3rd was 30psi. We just wanted to make sure it would go through the gears before we made the drive to Vegas.

Anyways, got to vegas May 15th (second time the the track) and made the 1st qualifying pass and went 9.58 @ 153 with waaaay too much in 1st and 2nd, spun horribly and the 1/8 was a 6.36 @ 121 with a 1.60 60'. I guess thats what happens when you party too much and have basically no sleep. We were in such a rush we forgot to check the co2 before we left colorado/ got to the track in Vegas so that ended our day after the 2nd qualifying pass. Still excited we qualified #7 out of 52 cars and ran a pb though. Anyways, here are some pictures in no particular order of the build and of the car at the track. We will update this thread with new pics of the new build and update the times when they start getting knocked down!

Nice! I like the tranny! Mine lasted over 75hits!

 

Nice work!!

 

How much was the first motor making before the wrist pin let go?

 

"The car made 851.9 uncorrected in vegas on 40psi on a dynapack @ church's shop "

 

Thanks guys! Yeah it made 851.9 on the old motor

 

ooo okay, got it. Totally misread everything. thanks

 

No worries, I typed everything quickly so it's probably hard to read. Also, the pass in Vegas was on 35 psi, not 40

 

what was the breakdown on the 9.5@153 pass? you said you had too much in it on that pass down low...what were the psi levels on that pass?

 

I lost the slip but remember that it was a 1.60 60' and a 6.36 @ 121 1/8th. Boost was as follows : 1st-33, 2nd-35, 3rd-35 and 4th-35. It had tire shake and I would have let out but I wanted to see if it would pull in 4th. Don't know why it only gained 32mph up top, it makes more power than that with 35psi. But we'll see what it does as soon as we get more than just one pass on it

P.S. we Barely had any sleep cause it was Vegas so we messed up the boost tables haha

 

look n good guys keep it up,yall plan on making any more events this year

 

Dayam. 1st gear 33psi.....

Good luck on your build man.

 

very nice! GL on the build!

 

hell ya very nice, good choice on the rods.

 

Very nice build . I'm going to be nervous about my wrist pins now. How do you like that 1.32 a/r housing on the 6765? I'm wanting to upgrade from my current t3 .82 to either a 1.15 or 1.32 a/r.

 

I was hoping for u guys to continue fighting to get that record for 9's on that stock sleeve setup ya had.. But eventually it gets old trying to lol.. Good luck on the new build.. Always loved your guys videos

 

Hell yea guys!!!!

Keep at it!!! I'm just an e-mail away if you guys need something!

 

Thanks again guys!

Yeah were planning on making it to Tulsa, Kansas City and of course Vegas again! You guys planning on making it to any of those?

Thanks, i noticed you had the same ones. Lovin the new color of your car and cant wait to see it run! You think it will be done for KC?

I would almost recommend just getting new pistons if your worried... we lost the block, crank, head, a whole bunch of valves and the rods lol. About the housing, unforutunately we changed so many things i cant say how much the 1.32 a/r housing helped but it i know it helps! I would say get it!

Thanks man, with everything we know now and the setup we have i bet you we could go 9's on stock sleeves

Thanks buddy! Should be running in a week or two and we will get some good video of it knockin down some times and some dyno video and we'll email it to ya. Dont get too hot out in that desert and stay safe buddy

 

planning to make at least Tulsa, Bay town, Ennis and San Antonio
but in Vegas Clints car started pushing water after the first pass so he tore it down to replace the head gasket and went ahead and tore it down to freshen it up and found out the wrist pins were about to come out the bottom of the pistons
so its down right now in the process of being rebuilt so hopefully it will be ready

 

Thanks I appreciate it! Yes I plan on being done and on the dyno in a month or less. Im going to hit up some local events or T&T hopefully and then tulsa and kc... hope all hoes well... I will be seeing you in tulsa sir, we will be at the hard rock so come on up.

 

Damn haha stupid wristpins! Good luck getting it ready guys!

Good luck man, maybe we'll have to stay at the hard rock too!

 

i liked this hatch when it was budget.. and i love it now!!!

DO WERK!!!

 

good work guys! WOOOOOO!

 

Thanks pootie!

Woooooo!! Don't booo the woooo! Haha when it's back together, photo shoot??
