Oil was DEFINITELY on the track BEFORE Shane raced. As witnessed by the total lack of oil under his car and the fact that he went straight as a die on the next pass.

Though that might have been the case...not the first time that's happened at WSID from what I've heard.

yeah, unfortunately thats what happened to my camera man. he dropped the camera when i was 45 degrees to the right wall.

no one seemed to actually get many pics of the car all weekend. although i had lots of verbal praise which was good.

I got plenty of pics of it mate - just nothing spectacular.

havnt read all three pages or so..

ANyways nice run to the yellow s15.. hehe nearly had an accident, yet u still ran a really good time..

Whats done to your car??

Also what happened to TUFGTR!! did he blow something?

RB25DET conversion - 3 speed auto - hi mount single - ET Streets.

TUFGTR only had one or two passes - wasnt sounding healthy on one pass. Dunno if it's broken or not though

Quite a few cars were having traction issues.

The track was only re-surfaced (all rubber scraped back to base surface from start line to 1000ft) about 2wks ago. They are probably preparing for the Nitro Champs in May, unfortunately that means it will be May before the track is back to 100%.

congrats to Brett for running so many 10's. I had no idea you were doing so well :laugh::( Given track conditions i am sure that single digit pass is just around the corner :D:D

What times did the S15 run??? had no idea it to was RB powered :D:miner:

on that VN's last ran it bent the hell out of the lower rear control arms. Guy was lucky it lost fuel pressure and he backed off at half track cause it a very ugly and out of control up until the time he backed off.... he ended up running 11.9 at 119mph.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
