dat engine bay


btw keep an eye for oil in the filter...the blow by will SOAK it

JayVee

Yeah, I am aware of the possibility. From what I hear, NA motors are fine. The fellas that run Boost (Turbo/SC) do have a problem with the higher pressure blow by on the passenger side mostly. The Coyote engine alone has very minimum blow by naturally on the passenger side is why I had the JLT oil separator catch can. I decided to ditch the JLT and go this route for the cleaner look and from what I have read/heard from others who have this kit for now over 1yr...No issues. But, every car can be different and I will be keeping a close eye on it.

I even went as far as taking the car for a 30-45min ride around town and in certain areas got on it HARD! to make sure I do create those high pressures that normally will push a small amount of oil. Nada happened. I will continue to monitor it especially after tomorrow where I will be getting on it hard at the races.

STILL NO PICS WITH THE CANON...But here some more with the Galaxy S4

These numbers where ran in this track conditions. Puddles and mud wss pretty much everywhere and could not be avoided goimg through the parking lot and racers staging line until, you actually got the ok from the track Marshall roll out and wait at the water box. All this was pretty much brought onto the track for every car. And with all of that, still ran a 7.7 with a 1.7 60ft. Let me just add... this is officially my BEST TIME. Now imagine if you would... if I wasn't fighting the elements. I felt it!!! The car was going to run 7.4-7.5s last night!



The aftermath!

Thats bad ass Josh....that like a 12 second 1/4 mile.... (1.6 factor is I remember right)



that is mightly quick

ohhh and awesome pix before the track event....car looks SICK and it is QUICK !!!!

JayVee

I know for a fact! This car is a 11sec car. With a lil more seat time and a GOOD prep'd track, My goal is 11.9 or lower. I know the recipe that has been put together can and HAS pulled it off. Just need myself (driver) to get it together.

How far is the nearest 1/4 track?

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

About 45-50min drive. That is my next gowl to hit the 1/4 mile track since it is the better track anyways. I am tired of the poor prep at the closer 1/8 track. The other 1/8mi track has good prep all the time, just hard to go out there since I wk during their T&T is held.

iTrader: (6)

No doubt, brother...killing it! I can't wait to see a proper quarter run. I bet it'll be better than projections!

Are you able to source OEM projectors as a direct swap?

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

dude am sure if you get your 60' and reaction time slightly lower, you will be in the 11's....11.9 range but still in the 11's....

am eager to see that

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

Yes, you can install the OEM projector HID headlights vs my bulb set. Rather pricey so I never opt to a set. Just don't see me paying $500-750.00 for "Projectors" swap.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

BTW... Guess who just bought a GoPro Hero 3+ ? "< THIS GUY!" Quality action pics and vids coming soon! ... Once I learn how to use it

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I could see it...visually, I think it makes the front of the car look a lot more modern. Maybe not 750 but for 500 I'd do it.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

Maybe later...very bottom of my mods list

rockstar143

No doubt, man...
I guess it was just one of my must haves when I tested out the 2011's repeatedly...brembo, 3.73, sync, saddle interior and projector headlights.

Here it is. I went out last night and on my 2nd run, broke a lower control arm bushing. It is literally exploded out of it mount on the from side of the control arm. As I launched, I heard a loud *thud* or pop! When I shifted to 2nd, that is when the loud CLUNK! metal to metal sounded...I hesitated and decided to ride it out all with a split second realizing it has to be a LCA... With all this going through my mind and run, I still pulled my fastest improved time trapping my slowest time yet. The #s don't lie. Between my break, mental break down and hesitant driving, this was a GOOD run and says a lot! Contacting the fellas at BMR! They have outstanding c/s and response! I am sure I have nothing to worry about. *fingers crossed*

Time:

1/8th - 7.74
60ft - 1.72
Trap Speed - 91.99mph
Reaction - 0.473

Congrats man!
and @the immediate diagnosis in your mind while simultaneously shifting from 1st to 2nd.

Oh and
Great video, man that thing is fucking fast.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

It sounds funny as hell...I know! But all is true. A million things are running through your mind all at the same time. When I heard the thud all I know I wasn't loosing power or out of control... stayed in it! But for a split second, lift the throttle, shifted again and heard a different noise a loud clunk with a slight shift of the rear as it was loose (like a flat tire almost) but still going straight under power. A that point, in hi 3rd gear crossing the line. I could not tell you all this at the moment, but when you recall what all happen, that is how it happen from the seat of the car. Still funny tho

and yeah, she gets down! Like I said, that hesitant driving when the POP sound happen cost me the 2-3mph I was in route of running and normally do run approx high 93+mph. This was a 91.99 mph. IMO that could have been the difference between 7.76 i ran vs a possible 7.6+

Predatorbird

Come out to a 1/4 mile track. I have no idea how those times break down and they mean nothing to me.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

I plan on it brother! I now narrowed down my 2 tracks since Showtime has been so inconsistent in quality and prep traction. I have to say, Laleland was very decent and you can NEVER go wrong with BMP 1/4 NHRA/IHRA Sanctioned track.

In short, these time reflect to a high 11s 1/4mi time if that is what you are meaning.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Yeah, 1/8" mile doesn't really mean anything to me. I mean, I can tell it's fast but the quarter is the only one I've ever been able to have as a point of reference.

Fun fact, I've never actually been to a track.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

Josh, fuq 1/8 and 1/4....

you need to do the standing mile....


I would just do what you like and whats convenient....part of the reason why I never post up dyno's or race vids or videos of me just doing some pulls....either the dyno was not calibrated and reading high or low or some people want me to go to a track or driver fault of the other car LOL....its never enough no matter what you post....

I have seen Andy/some other go through that and hence they dont post on Azine anymore and are very active on v6p

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

yeah, listen to Anil.

There's a reason every car, even OEM is rated at quarter mile time...it's consistent and the standard. It gives a point of reference. I am not saying I don't appreciate him sharing his 1/8th time, I'm just saying it doesn't compute for me and I don't like that whole arbitrary "this time on an eighth SHOULD equal x.xx seconds quarter".

In all honesty, the races posted on the internet, the dyno's posted, the track times...they're solely for entertainment and informational purposes to me. Friendly banter, they don't make me happy or sad or make a lick of difference in my life.

Maybe I'm just mad because nobody measures a car in the unit of measure I do...which is fun to drive widgets. The TL is 40 FTD and the S is 55.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ I am not disagreeing with you...yeah 1/4 mile is the standard but if the track is 100 miles from his place and the 1/8 miles is closer, i think he can use the calculator to judge how he would do in a quarter and how his mods are gaining him power...

also he can get a hang of launch and other stuff before he goes to the quarter mile for a showdown


again, totally agreed on how much fun it is to drive the car....that ends up being the most important factor....

I love driving my car and hence I dont see a need to get a second car (either with more power or something which could be more fun)...I would hate to make a decision of which car to take when I am driving to work....

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I have that problem...lol...kinda.
rain = TL
no rain = S2000

I concur...I wasn't telling him he has to drive to a quarter track! I'm just saying I won't care about his stats because I don't understand them until he does. That's all. I could tell you probably had a little pent up frustration with others on the forum that question our diet and how fast your car really is. Like I said...for nutjob Meko to tell me your car is "fucking fast"...I believe him. Although he has been used to the power of that BRZ lately

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

his facial reaction was priceless...the words were "you asshole"

yeah he has been used to BRZ power so am sure my car felt fast....its not that fast though


and yup, I do see you have a simple solution to the decision making

Good as new! 8 brand new bushing picked up from BMR in Sefner, Fl. and picked up a tube of GREEN GREASE at Advance on the way home

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

the grease just use a traditional caulk gun?
That's an easy fix...why did the other one fail? Was it just OEM and not intended to deal with the launches on slicks with all your extra power adder mods?

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

It can be used with a grease gun. Almost like a caulk gun but the end is a flexible tube with a fitting to squeeze grease into metal/brass fittings such as what BMR has. Or you can just grease the hell out of em by hand, which is what I will do for this install but maintenance every other oil change its recommended to squeeze some in the fitting to freshen it up. The bushing failed because AUTOMOTIVE grease was used and not POLY safe grease. So, the general grease ate the structural integrity of the poly bushings making them soft allowing them to explode under that pressure. The automotive general grease is used for rubber. When you have poly, be sure to use the proper grease. Amsoil CHASSIS grease is very popular but this tube was also noted by BMR rep yesterday.

iTrader: (5)

at first when I saw only half the tattoo, I thought it read LUST

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Gotcha...so the non poly grease ate them THAT quickly?!?! WOW!

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

Yep, per BMR they said it has happen even faster in most cases. I am sure its because I really don't drive the car as much as others. Its my weekend warrior and I daily my Accord. The petroleum in general grease turns em to jelly.
