i have the fan on a toggle, but i was thinking the same thing about the coolant fans.

jnaut 07-26-2010 12:02 PM

my cooler is a scratch built system, -10 socketless lines b&m cooler and running a motorcycle cooling fan on the cooler. my cooler is big so some of it is blocked by oncoming air by the bumper support, so thats where i mounted the fan between the cooler and radiator.Amazon.com: B&M 70274 SuperCooler Black Aluminum Fluid Cooler: Automotive

Z eliminator 08-06-2010 07:53 AM

Im going to the track tonight. Temps should be low 60's to high 50's.
The car is not running well. It feels slow when the temps are in the high 80's.
I'll be happy if i get into the 12.9's
Will post results tomorrow.

I take it you mean the car is not running well in the heat? My car comes alive in the chilly nights here in WA. So I'm sure you should get a good run in the cool, keep us posted GL!

Raul deff looks up to you and shumby. he has pics of your avitar in his room.... dont tell anyone its our secret. HAHA :stirthepot:

Z eliminator 08-06-2010 11:57 PM

It ran a best pass of 13.084 @ 105.05 t just finished raining and they dryed out the track, At half track my tires started to slip and had to back out of it and hit after they grabbed . What a terrible feelng The same thing happened the last time i went there.
The good news is that i cut a 1.973 60 ft time. on a pass. Getting better at it.
I had the best race of the night against a SC mustang. Sizby wll post it soon.
I pumped him off the line and had him at 60 ft. He got by me with 100 ft to go.
he trapped at 121 miles to my 106. he beat me by .1774 at the line, ran a 13.15 to his 12.615. You guys have to see this race.
Then i got the srt dodge challenger or what ever it was my 13.08 to his14.117.
cut a .173 reacton time he had tracton problems, We got this on video As well
Stll did not get into the 12.9 's tonight but the car ran strong.

Hey guys, I have vids, I will try and post this tonight... Crazy weekend and did not get a chance!

RCZ 08-09-2010 11:16 AM

Woah, I don't dislike you elim. Where's your SC kit?

Sibze 08-09-2010 11:36 AM

He posted up in the other thread asking if it was going to be shipped out on Friday... maybe soon????

Z eliminator 08-09-2010 01:49 PM

It's taking a long time, too long but what can i do but wait. There have been a few production delays with some parts. I call him every week, Its coming soon as he told me he has 4 set to ship. When you see the vids from the track just think what this car is going to run with the SC,

jnaut 08-11-2010 03:10 PM

ELIMINATOR, post up ur 12.80 time slip . i want to see it.

Sibze 08-11-2010 03:10 PM

He already has in another thread.

Give me a few mins I will try to find it

Sibze 08-11-2010 03:12 PM

Found it!

I saw that you mentioned a tune in your future mod list. Where in sfl would you be getting it tuned at? Only place I know of is HP Logic up around you.

Z eliminator 08-12-2010 07:48 AM

What did you want to see on the time slip. It strange that the car only had a G3 intake, stillen exhaust and berk cats on with the stock rev limiter set at 7500 on the 12.8009 pass.
Now that it has the stillen headers and makes 19 rwhp more my best pass now is 12.92.
It now has trapped at 113. vs 110.3 on that run. When i look at the dyno i have lost hp and torque between 4800 to 5900 rpm. but have gained power from 5900 to 8100. With the headers, tune, and pulley.
It s hard to belive it gone quicker on the stock 19 inch tires VS the drag radials.
I feel that the the performance of the car is governed by the outside air temp, humidity and oil temps. When the outside air temp is between 50 to 55 degtress out side my car comes to life and it just screams. ( it sounds different ).

mpp9 08-12-2010 09:34 AM

How long have you had your rev limiter set at 8100?

I think opening our exhaust up to much is loosing to much down low to be worth it while NA. Others have noticed this with header install as well.

Sibze 08-12-2010 11:29 AM

I'm so sorry about the vids guys. Hopefully tomorrow!

RCZ 08-12-2010 02:55 PM

Lol you hear that Jay, you go slower with FI headers.... great purchase decision ;)

Z eliminator 08-12-2010 04:48 PM

for sure just look at shumbys first dyno's with the headers on

well.... raul u and i both i was faster than u before the sc. hahaha but seriously ultimately i plan on a big bore set-up which the headers will be perfect.


eliminator, that may be case with shumbys car but u cant compare sc to n/a.

but yes over all i do feel you will lose low end tq with headers. so i supplemented the lack of tq with gears.

Not trying to attack you, but for you to trap 113 mph that is a hell of lot of hp/tq. i feel there might have been drama with the computer system at your track. i would constantly trap 114mph running 11.9/12.0 in my mustang. yes i do understand the cars are totally different, but hp to weight is the same.

Sibze 08-13-2010 10:34 PM

I was there when he ran 13.0's why is it so hard for you to believe he did a 12.8? Because you can't?

First no one believes him and wants time slips now it's "something must have been wrong with the computer"

I was at the track tonight with a guy that owns a Honda bike. The best he had ever done was a 11.3 something tonight he did a 10.77, although something must have been wrong with the computer lol!

chuckd05 08-13-2010 10:34 PM

Jnaut, Im going to the track in 2 weeks... trying to best my 12.94 .... Battle for the fastest 6 speed is on my friend , I think I still have u beat by a few hundreths! lol

Im so angry at myself for not throwing 4.08's in my VLSD pumpkin I installed... I ran my 12.95 with the open diff than threw the VLSD in, I should of done the gears...

How did your car like the flywheel ? I just un installed my pulley and am contemplating the flywheel next .... Is the chatter bad with the Fidanza ?

Sibze 08-13-2010 10:40 PM

O jeez 12.95 there must have been some "drama" with the computer!


Edit: Chuck that was directed back at jnauy not you! I trust your time!

I know right, sometimes my space bar doesn't work right. My girl thinks it's because all of the times I came on the keyboard looking at porn, but I told her my computer was just loaded with too much drama.


Seriously though, that comment was:

did you read my post??:icon14: i never once said i dont believe he ran 12.8's . i was only questioning the validity of a 113 mph trap speed. and not due to him lying but the reliability of the computer clocking the trap speed.

yes, chuck there is input shaft rattle!! it is most noticeable after the car has been driven for a while and if you go through a drive through it echos pretty good off the wall. i deff would have put the gears in especially with and open diff, no srm drama. but good luck!! ill be back the wednesday.:tup:
