this first video is an attempt at a top speed run. it's at night so it's kind of hard to see. rest assured, my friend was the one operating the camera, not me. in addition to the regular analog speedo, i have an apexi digital speedo mounted under my head unit - so that's what the camera is shooting most of the time. during the time the camera is on the analog speedo, you can barely make out the rear end of the needle(it's red) pointing up, so you can tell the tip of the needle is pointing almost straight down. anyway, it got up to 148 on the digital speedo.

this second video is me racing a hooked up mustang GT that went out to the street races on slicks. all you hear is his loud *** exhuast. he jumped me out of the hole real bad but i catch up and end up beating him by a car.

the third video is me racing a stage III turbo audi A4. he bogged on his launch so we were dead even till top of second gear and then i started walking him pretty bad.

this last video is me racing a turbo SI running 7psi. i got him out of the hole but wouldn't you know it, i'm out of nitrous and he catches up and pulls about 2 cars on me by the end of 3rd gear. so yeah, he beat me.

fyi, those three street races happened back to back. i only had about 3 or 4 pounds of nitrous left in the bottle so my pressure was really low.(yes, this is my excuse for losing to the turbo si) but seriously... in my opinion, i would have beat the SI if didn't run out of nitrous. alright, that's all folks... more next time.

i told you to get a 50lb Nitrous bottle in the back seat!

 

tight videos although its really hard to see

 

yeah, too bad street races don't usually happen in the day time.

 

Yeah, the videos aren't clear. =) But love them sounds!! =) Do those guys know that you were running juice? Or were they scratching their heads.

ZuM

 

well, i know the gt on slicks was scratchin his head.. cuz he didn't bother going back to where everyone was standing, he just silently left. but the audi and si knew that i was on bottle(although i really wasn't for the si)...

 

lol

 

He went home to do a compression test on all is cylinders.. =P I mean, if you show up to a street race with SLICKS, you better win! Hahaha.. Embarassing.. hahaha..

Were you running the .045 nitrous jet?

 

yeah, i had the .045 jet in, and i also went down to a .040 fuel jet. that seemed to take the blue away, but the brown specks are still there, so you're probably right in saying it's just carbon deposits from running rich. i'm going to try the .047 jet whenever it stops raining here.

 

Nice...

Can NOT wait till the spring... SOOO tired of the SNOW..

Another 3.5 inches last night...

Try to get some daytime vids. and upload some longer vids... alot of us have high speed access....

Peace... Drive Carefully

 

in plano?

 

Mwhahahhaha
you can hear paul talking!
funny

Hey thomas was that in front of java and cha?
it looks like it in the back ground!

btw you should use my digi camera for your next street race!
you guys going this weekend?

 

Sx7R, which NOS kit you running? I'm getting a NOS kit from JC Whitney for 375 shipped. It's only a 40-60 shot. What shot are you running? Also, what gear/rpm do you flip the switch? Any info will help, thanks.

 

bluefish: daytime vids of street races are hard to get cuz people don't meet up until after dark. longer vids - i wish but, the sony i have only does 15 seconds at a time. sux, but usually enough for a street race.

BlackMax13: we were running in garland at 190 and shiloh - where fujitsu is. this was about 12-1am.

yj: yeah, we're going this weekend if it quits raining. racing at java sux nowadays, cuz it's just a bunch of high schoolers talking trash. there was a turbo impreza there last week, but it got it's *** kicked by an LS1 and a formula.

Synki: i have the 5175 kit. it's basically the same as 5122-24 EFI kits. it just comes with a bigger jet(.045). i have a full throttle switch with window switch set at 3800 and 6200. so if the system is armed and i'm flooring it, it'll hit between 3800 and 6200.

 

calling you right now
i'm itching to race even in the rain

 

What?!? 350 for nitrous, let me know more info.

No2 vapir

 

Yep, $375 shipped. This from JC Whitney. They have having a special on it till 6/30/01. The kit is normally $495 shipped but with a 25% off = $375 shipped. I didnt feel like doing the math sorry. Anyways, if you do order you need to mention a few things to get this discount. You can get all the info from the 3/01 SCC mag. But i will still provide you with the information you need to get the discount. This is for a 40-60 shot made by NOS.

Video never lies.

 

Hey Sx7R. how many **** are you running? Do you hit the switch at 2nd gear? What gauges & electronics are you using?

 

dude that is an excelent deal... one question... how hard is the install? is this something that a novice mechanic can do, or how much should I expect to pay for a pro install?

 

In the rain? Where can I attend your funeral?

 

i'm running an 85 shot. i have a window switch so it engages at 3800rpm in first gear at WOT(yes, i get wheel spin like crazy but i don't like dealing with a handheld button so this will have to suffice) i have a fuel pressure, exhaust temp, and air/fuel ratio gauge. electronics? uh.. i guess the window switch is about it.

 

hey hey hey, i was in the car too, so sheeeee!!!

 

mwhahahha

 

next friday YJ~~~~! JAVA and Cha
