Installing Our New Quadruple Disc Torque Converter, MONDAY.

[KLockliear]

I've got a Viper and bring on the Supra any day! Tell me when and where... Rice Rockets are just that. . Rice...

I would say let's do this, but I don't think you will.

 

[BRayls]

but he can only have the 23 psi, like that will make a differance.

 

[Lorenz]

what am I looking at, $ wise, to build a 400hp supra motor and transmission to stuff into my prerunner? Starting with a used block from the junk yard, built up from there?



Hasselbach did you every get a chance to look under your dash to see what you spliced together to make the hi and low beams come on at once? you never got back to me...

 

[KLockliear]

SLorenzen, not sure what it would cost, but I know quite a few 2JZ-GTE's have been put into Lexus SC400's and such. 400hp is a walk in the park. The stock bottom end will take 900rwhp without issue.



You might try Dana at Virtual Works in Vegas. He did one of those conversions, so he'd probably be able to ball park it for you.

After reading your post, I can only surmise that living in Ohio has taken its toll. :--)

:-laf I've only been here a few months. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fun car to drive, but it's limited.

Yeah, well, I am just finishing up a few bugs with the programing for the twin turbos. . So far, best pull has been 1150 hp, with a lean condition that we are working to correct with the fuel mapping, it sounded like crap, and still pulled a pretty good number. Turbos are so efficient on the top end its causing a big rise in the fuel curve that we are working to correct. We'd estimate over 1250 to 1300hp when finished, and thats at a very conservative 20 psi and pump gas. I doubt the rice rocket made anywhere close to that on pump fuel... should be finished in a week or so, and when I show up, I don't want any crap about wanting cars or a few seconds head start. Its run what ya brung brother. . I'd even race the Supra for pinks, but what on earth am I going to do with a Ricer in my shop??? My god, maybe I could give it to my 16 year old daughter. .

 

[KLockliear]

Well, we figgered it'd have to be a TT kit to run with the Toyota... and so it is. He's still doing his own tuning, so maybe we'll have a run soon.



Maybe the other guys here have your roused up, but don't take it the wrong way man. I like all these fast toys - we're just out to have some fun. Thought you dropped off the map after not responding to the last few posts there.



Let me know when you got it pretty well done and we'll hook up for some fun. I'd assume the 80 on thing is in your game plan too?

Not off the map, just busy with work and hobbies. . The Viper project has been consuming a lot of time and dyno pulls. It takes more to rouse me up than this web page. Oo.



2 questions. Is the paint on that Supra fairly well applied? And, do the doors latch well?

I am concerned I might suck off a bad paint job and blow a few doors off when we get this race thing off. . Paint has a nasty habit of fouling spark plugs

Oh yeah, my daughter is so excited about her first new car, I just told her that she has to park the Supra down the street from the house. . :{

 

[KLockliear]

It's all about the fun and the speed. Sure sounds like you are confident about your car. With all that bragging lets step it up- We're ready to run tonight where do you want to meet? we have got two cars lined up one is an automatic and out of gear 165mph will run you from 20mph to there. If thats to slow of a start for ya, the other is a six speed and will run you from 80mph to????? ( How fast will it go?) PM me with phone # and we will set it up.

Motor is actually on the dyno tonight, doing some more testing. .

I'll post some pictures of me and the two cars after we get this race over with. In case some of you don't know what a Supra looks like, it's the car that has the doors sucked off and big chunks of paint missing on the quarter panels... :--)

 

[mberry]

Any updates on the original subject matter of this thread? I'm curious as to the results. Thanks.

It's a bunch of talk when you can't show up. :{ :{ :{ :{

Haha, had I known you had something planned, I wouldn't have rented the dyno time. . maybe next week. Just make sure the doors are bolted on tight...

 

[BIG BOB]

Keith,



hasselbach is all talk! He blows smoke in every post he has ever made. He'll never show! All BS! :-laf

 

[KLockliear]

Well, I guess we'll see. BOTH of the Supras here in town that will whoop up on that thing are running, and ready to go. Just PM me when you're ready for your schoolin' Hasselbach.

Supra: 3. 0L I-6 Street car with A/C etc etc



1520 rwhp through an unlocked auto

PS " a real musclecar has a v8 blah blah blah... . "

Go buy a freakin duramax or powerstroke then:{ :{



because a supra and a cummins are both inline 6 turbos I guess they are both inferior

nice post Big Bob or Big Mouth, you feel better?





Boys, I'm outa this post, I've got too much to do with too many projects to play your games. As soon as the motor is in the Viper, I'll let you know. . Maybe Big Mouth and a few others will show up too with their toys to back up their mouths. . (better ask mom for permission to be out past midnight)



Trust me, been street racing too long to worry about the outcome. . Been there many times, and I've learned the mouth horse power is always more than what the car puts to the ground. .



Later, I've got some fuel mapping to do. .



If we don't get the Viper done for a few weeks, I'll gladly run ya in my old camaro. . The only condition is, no trailering out to the run area (there is a nice straight road near the track at the north end of town off the 15, about 5 miles long). I've driven the camaro out there, radar'd a few top end runs, and drove back to town. . PM me if you want to see the slips. . She kinda makes the viper look anemic. There is a top speed challange coming up soon in north nevada if any of you have the balls to do it. 3 miles full out, all sanctioned and legal. Cars must have roll bars and drivers wear suits. Run what ya brung. .

 

[BIG BOB]

Now he's changing boats, from a Viper to a Camaro!
