I said the fastest currently. Here is a 12.7 @ 109 with a crappy 60' time. You need a better timeslip to hold the title. All you need is tires.
Also I never said I have the most powerful MKTURBO.

Looks like the road to the track will be flooded and the race rained out for president's day.

As I have said many times now, I would love to hang out and lose to some of you guys any Wednesday night drag at Sears Point. I had so much fun visiting everyone at MRLS.

Me? No. It's raining cats and dogs and the track is closed.
I'd love to line up next to Carlos.

While it would still be interesting

I am merrily partaking in typical street race rhetoric I find so delightful.

Vlad, you are one of my favorite members on here. Maybe I can get off early one Wednesday, of course mid March is when our races start up too.
Me thinks you have a new super charger and will be in the 11's

I haven't installed it. Right now it's just intake and flex-fuel tune. I want to see what it does as is before I go and bolt on another 200hp.

I think if you get tires it would be close, at least ET wise. My tires are garbage

I rarely get to race a friend who is not someone I met at the dragstrip. I will talk to my clients.

It is totally acceptable to talk the biggest **** to your drag racing buddies.

I know the feeling, they can't be as bad as mine.

I did finally see a GT run mid 12's in January, don't know if it was stock and it could be an automatic.

Yep, but in the end the timeslip is king.

Several Mt. Tam pale ales later (alcohol talking now) and I am about to talk the biggest shiat.

Yeah, MT. Tam!

What I should have said was that I STILL have the fastest MKTURBO on the planet!

Been like a year now. Show me a 12.6 at 110 before I get one and still have the fastest MKTURBO on the planet.



Love this place! Thanks everyone!


By the way colipto I follow your thread and hope you do go faster. I want to see an 11 second MKTURBO, easily possible.

Made a new larger "Deezums catch can."
I basically wanted a bit more capacity in the cold side. I had some concerns about the different design not holding pressure as well, so I rigged it up with my bike pump. Holds 40psi solid until I pop off the hose.

More hooptie *** brackets

Crazy storm tonight and my wife say she took out the recycling and the green bin while it was calm, would I mind taking the trash?
So I open the back door, and boom! A blast of rain and the atmosphere vents back at me for all those times in the past

Seriously can't stop laughing at this one, wish I had a video. I got wet with a 2 inch overhang.

I was really pretty hooped last night. I meant a 2 foot overhang, my wife was laughing her *** off too.

Got a chance to play with my car yesterday.

The new catch can uses a clip mechanism to hold the cup on instead of just threading on. It sucks and turned out to be the cause of a loud clicking sound when going between boost and vacuum. It was just slop in the mechanism, an 1/8" thick o-ring at the bottom between the plastic cup and the metal cage solved it.

I also took out my trusty bike pump and took the time to get real open and closed boost duty values at different frequencies. I pulled all the hoses and capped one of the 2 wastegate can ports at a time. I attached my pump as the boost source and made sure I could pump and hold 20psi for each setting. I know some of you will disagree, but I want to know when my valve starts to vent pressure to the opposite side of the can, not if it seems to make it spool faster

These are for the MAC 4 port boost solenoid valves. At least this is how it works on my car at 20psi.

15.6Hz 4% = closed and 79% = open

19.5Hz 6% = closed and 74% = open

26Hz 8% = closed and 66% = open

39Hz 14% = closed and 53% = open

I am currently trying 39Hz and calling 12% closed and 55% open to be sure.

OK, so the bigger catch can still sucks. It doesn't seem to contain the oil as well as the smaller one. Either that or my rings and intake valve guides have worn too far.
Swapped them back, I will see if the problem persists. If so I guess I better hurry up with that motor.
