We are looking to fire up our shop car hopefully next week; it has the smaller GTX4294R...

 

Mine will be on this weekend as well

 

Hey, Ernie are you coming up to atco for the may 22-23 event?

 

I'd like to bro, but thats my sons b-day party.

 

When will we see comparison of gt vs gtx?

 

Next week

 

is this going in the external engine bay? ......jk haha that thing is massive!

20B drag set up?

 

It'll fit with mods to the water pump and radiator relocation. You do have to have a custom exhaust mani made.

Hey Ernie, I'm excited to hear @ how these billet compressors work hurry up!

 

The supra guys arent seeing any increase over the GT wheel....they only went up to 30psi though.

I hope the rotary brings out the good in this turbo

 

how much was the gtx wheel?

 

ive been doing alot of research on those garrett gtx turbos and honestly, unless your running big amounts of boost (28 & up) your not really going to see a big difference. The gtx makes 10-20more hp in the 20-28lbs range. Now once you get to the 35-40lbs of boost then the gtx will flow a shitload more than the basic ball bearing turbo it replaces

 

My best friend has a Supra and had the same setup i did. He switched and made 72rwhp more at 30psi and a much broader powerband.

 

/\ and just guess how much more power he would get if the boost was at 35lbs. were talking about at least 140hp more. meaning for the 35r guys & there 15lbs of boost It would be a waste of time forthem.


BTW before i retune the car im going to put the gt4508 wheel in the GT4202 and well see how much it really makes.


Ill be awaiting your dyno results (hopefully without a BOOM!!!)

 

Any numbers?

 

Don't worry, if my car was done, I'd post. Good or bad. Im not one of those guys that will bs ya if things don't go well. Ray is just backed up. Hopefully I will get it this friday for the race this weekend.

 

any updates?

 

Sorry, Howard. Thought ya knew. Everything went great. So good in fact, I won the last NSCRA race at MIR with my best et of 9.79@142mph.
The car dyno'ed about 40rwhp more at 30psi then the 74mm GT42R. It spools about 400rpms faster too. I think over 32psi, this thing is gonna really shine. Gonna see this coming weekend at the Pan American Nationals. Also I used to use straight meth injection. This was with nothing at all. Just turbo!

 

Ernie, let me get this stright, your old turbo was the gt4202r and now you useing the gtx4294r, is that right?

 

We are close, but we've just been too busy with customer's cars. We are in the middle of a 2JZ with a GTX42 also..

 

Correct. The old one was the GT42R with the 74mm compressor 1.01 a/r
New one is the GTX42R with the 71mm compressor (billet).

 

Hmmm, so you actually lost 3mm on the compressor, took off the meth, and gained 40whp and quicker spool at only 30 psi! I guess the doubtful rumors are squashed. Congrats on your win. I'm guessing you might have some traction issues in your future?

 

Thanks, but no traction issues. Just lower the tire pressure a bit more Guys are making alot more power then me and can hook. Im just a little fish compared to the guys at the pan ams. It was very cool to win the true street class though. Took out a few supras along the way too
Here is the video of the finals.

Very nice work! I do not know much about drag racing technique, but your launches look GREAT!

=Benjamin

 

Wow

 

I am adding water injection, but didn't have anything for that race. Didn't have time for another re-tune. My charge temps for that race went up to 175. That was scary. Used to meth where it never went over 100 lol..
