Dyno'd the car today...611rwhp on a Mustang Dyno. Boost was begging for more, only took the car to 8200rpm...the turbo was still pulling stronger up to 8200....she's got a lot more left in her... Pictures and videos of the dyno session soon to come...

Yes sir. Spray painted

When deadlines need to be met and patience wears thin...the puffcan is your friend. :)

Best out of 3 passes (Keep in mind this was the first time the car had been tracked with the 500whp setup) was an 11.5 @ 125mph with a 1.9 60'. It was done without tire pressure being dropped, without a burnout, and with fouled spark plugs running @ 18 psi. I didn't know the plugs were fouled...

Well I don't have a good kill story for this season...YET. But I will pretty soon! Vipers and the Ford GT were among last season's victims...should get better this season...here's the link to the new setup/pictures. Fireplug's latest edition

old 500whp setup was fun...but it's time for the Omega...this new combo is going to be dangerous. :) The car has hit the ground for the first time this season and is the strongest it's ever been. One of the many new mods...is a rollcage, so I can actually keep the thing on the track this...

It's really not breaking news and I'm glad you find the car appealing. Nothing has really been done to the body at all. :) It's just my daily driven street car that has 10 second potential at only 18 psi. (on a turbo that's good to 35-38 psi) Torque's at 397ft/lbs.

thanks! I actually talk about the car's $$ and modlist in this thread if you want to check it out. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1196362#post1196362

It's basically what he said. If you're not following all of the chassis codes I'll make it a little easier for ya. :) Basically none of the 240sx's here come turbocharged. Japan's "240sx's all come with this motor. It's a direct bolt up swap though, the motor uses the exact same motor...

Thanks for all of the compliments, seems like things have changed since I was last here. My last thread (about a year ago) I had to defend myself about my car and fight back against unnecessary comments. I'm liking the place now. It's the 4 cylinder silvia motor (aluminum block aluminum...

4-banger Motor: Header: 500whp @ only 21psi...Unfortunately we couldn't turn the boost any higher because the brand new 6 puck clutch was slipping at anything above the 21psi/500whp mark. A new 6 puck is being put in and the boost will be turned up to 35+psi where we hope to...

Tires:

Some of you may remember me from about a year ago when I posted pictures of my 240sx and it's mods. People didn't believe the #'s I was predicting..didn't believe the hp I was saying I would have....here's the results, please check out my thread in Member rides. 500whp @ only 21 psi...

I found out he's actually a friend of one of my buddies. He just thought it'd be fun to stick the GT badges on the sides and switched his rear bumper to GT style in the back. It's a good thing I did turn my boost back up from stock b/c he had me fooled that it was a GT. That would have been...

I didn't specify what I meant with the wing issue. I'm also going to be playing around on the highway a little bit every now and then...just didn't want it floating up and coming around on me...The thought of that just scares the crap out of me. I don't really plan on buying a wing for the car...
