Looking for 10's

[webleyaz]

Ths car has a stock motor with Felpro gaskets. The throttlebody is enlarged, it had a TA-52 turbo, modified Ford diesel intercooler, 3500 PI l/u converter, drum brakes, 26X11.50 ET Streets on Aluma star wheels, 43 lb injectors, Bosch fp, and the usual little stuff when it went 11.08. Now there is a PT-72 and 4000 stall. I sure hope it was worth it. The track (SIR) is open on Dec. 29th. I will have a cage installed by then and hopefully a 3.5" MAS and translator.
Wish me luck!

Good luck and keep an eye on that knock.

Keep us posted as to your results.

Hey Chris, I will probably have to come out there and make some runs also, I am assuming the track will be open from like 8am till around 3pm again? I hate getting up that early but oh well, that is the price to pay for having fun!!
hope to see you there, hope to get some descent times this time.

 

[webleyaz]

It would be cool to see a couple of us TTAs out there. I'll try to get Brett to bring his out, too. They do open at 8:00.

Don't go yet !!!

PLEASE DO NOT RACE YOUR CAR WITH THE 43LBS INJECTORS.
YOU WILL BLOW IT TO HELL!!!!

I am hoping that you just forgot to mention your new injectors.
If not you better have someone with a broom and dust pan next
to you when you race. Just Kidding =)

The 72 is a serious piece and the minimum injector I would run is
a 83. You could use a 72 but if you turn the boost up your duty
cycle is going to go static.

A good friend of mine just had issues with a set of 50 lbs. injectors not being enough fuel for his 3.8 with pp heads and
pt54 turbo. Lucky he never boosted it enough to hurt it.
We put in a set of 72 and wow what a difference.

 

[webleyaz]

What?!?!?!?
I already went 11.08 with 43# units, 28# boost, 2 degrees of retard at the 1-2 shift. I do plan to install 55# injectors before hitting the track. I've always had less injector than most with similar setups and I never have any problems. The O2 milivolts are never below 760. I expect it to idle better with the 55s and be good for 10.5 or so. Do you think I'm dreaming? BTW, I shift it at 5000. I'm panicing. Now I'm wondering if the stock fuel lines are capable of delivering enough fuel. DAMN!

My Combination

Chris,

My car with a stealth 70 hit 80 % Duty Cycle with 72 lbs injectors.
This was with low boost ~ 20psi. Turn it up to 28psi and I could
have been in trouble. I did have a huge set of M&As and a 224 roller cam, so maybe I was flowing more air than your combination.

Good luck and I hope to see you in the tens soon.

 

[webleyaz]

'cage is in, 55#ers are in, 3.5 MAF is hopefully in transit. I'm gettin' close. Did a couple of pump gas (92) romps at 20 psi and had NO retard! Very exciting!

 

[1badTTA]

Hey Chris, did you make it out to the track, if so what were the results?

I ended up a little under the weather and didnt wake up early enough.

 

[TTA89]

Any pics of the cage?

Gonna have to put one of those in too soon even though I don't wanna. Interested in seeing pics too. Also Chris,....did you ever get those pictures of the Ford intercooler installed on your TTA or work up a list of what all it took/needed to be modified to install it?

 

[webleyaz]

I did get out to the track and discovered that I have some tuning to do. First I'll install a new O2 sensor so the thing will at least idle and maybe restore a hundred horsepower or so at WOT. Then I've got to remove the remaining MAF sensor screen and also replace the TCC solenoid so I don't have to shift into OD. All in all it was a minor success since it went 11.63 at 115 runing like crap and using 5 gallons of 118 octane, $7.00 per gallon fuel in 4 runs. It was a might rich all day. Very smokey. It was also slower off the line with 1.63 60' times so there were a few HP missing all over. I'll get it together by this weekend and see what happens this sat.
I'll see if I can get a few decent pics of my 'cage tomorrow and post them here.

 

[TTA89]

Im sure you posted it but whats the combo?

I gotta put a cage in also. I want one hidden and painted to match with swing outs.

 

[webleyaz]

Combo?....combo?....combo?
I don't understand the question. What's the combo?...combo?
It's tough to hide a 'cage in an f-body for reasonable amount of dough. I just painted it to look cool and not offend me. It didn't work. I hate having a 'cage in my car. Everyone who's seen it like it, tho'. I'm bringing my camera home tonight so I'll hopefully have some quality pics very soon.

 

[TTA89]

Combo, You know what parts are you runnin....

 

[geno]

Ive seen over 90% DC on my 72 lbs injector with a 70 turbo
I run a -8 presure and -6 return lines with a sump and Areomotive pump. Of course i run the boost to the moon 30lbs

10 second run

I am building a tta with a t-64 turbo, 212/206 roller cam, 55# injectors, 70 mm throttle body, 3" single shot exhaust, duel fuel pumps, stock intercooler, stock long block with ported heads. I have been told that the stock computer will not know what to do with the 55# injectors, that the computer will not be able to follow the fuel curve? Is this the facts? What are you guys doing about this? I have been told to change the drivers in the computer, then have new chips written. Am I on the right track?

 

[WE4]

Didnt believe me?

So Tim........ you doubt me?

No, I was asking the members what they are doing for this problem. I am also looking for some chip writers. Not much slips by you, you are amazing !!!!
