Hi My Torque convertor is a neal chance bolt together, I have stripped it myself and re-shimmed it, i also have several different stators to change the stall, so far its been fine however originally i ran an ATI weld together and that was comparitively rubbish. I Own my own business that i started when i was 19 years old, Marine engineering. just gone 13 years trading. http://www.seaworthymarine.co.uk See you all at Suprapod ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 What hi stall do you run again Stu? Only thing that concerns me is building enough power off the line and not bog down in mine...got a feeling my 60ft is going to be shocking!!

StuartW Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Well what a day @ suprapod! for us it was 3rd time lucky as last year it rained, the year before i broke 2nd gear the previous weekend. The weather looked iffy but around noon the track was open ;-) We did a shakedown pass of 9.5 and 9.1 to find a leaky rear brake hose!! then after a bit of sun to warm the track we did our first 8 sec run of the day....and so the 4th pass was OUR NEW PB 8.65 seconds with a 1.34 second 60ft time.. Many thanks to RyanG for all of his help and support. Now its time for bigger 2200cc injectors and more NOS ;-) some pics and vids of the day here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?252577-Supra-pod-2011-Pictures-amp-Video-thread/page2&p=3185936 Edited August 14, 2011 by StuartW (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Technically speaking stu isnt this a quicker run or is the timing board broke? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRy3GVc6dO8&feature=player_embedded 8.63 @ 158.5?

Homer Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Well done Stuart, good to speak to you again yesterday, really pleased to see you got a new PB Got all the times available, here's your stats from that 8.6518 run, hope you don't mind these being posted! 60ft: 1.3444s 330ft: 3.6318s 594ft: 5.2018s 1/8th ET: 5.5562s 1/8th MPH: 127.00mph 1000ft: 7.2296s 1000ft MPH: 145.78mph 1/4: 8.6518s 1/4 MPH: 158.52mph You got the best results in every item above apart from a very slightly higher 1/4 MPH in an earlier run of 158.54mph You also cover 1-9 or the top 10 qtr's from today, not bad since you did "only" 9 runs total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Great runs, Stu. Was a pleasure to meet you, even if you're a little *too* trusting perhaps by suggesting that we help you pack your chute! Wish I had gotten a photo of Ryan's face when he thought he was getting a run in the passenger seat - "bricking it" is the expression, I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeny Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Congrats! 1.3 sec 60ft time must be fun! Launching hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Although I am not a particular fan of drag racing it was obvious being there just how well sorted your car was, and how a dedicated drag build outshines compromised road / drag machines, congratulations, awesome stuff!

tDR Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Congrats Stuart - awesome runs at Pod, knew you were on for that record run when from the grandstand I saw you hook up like a scalded cat! I think the best 60fts keeping the Toyota rear end are ~ 1.4 or 1.5 for the high powered Supras in the states Chris but that likely takes drag spec suspension and specific adjustable camber arms to set positive at the rear for a launch on neutral, as well as other bush related mods.

Ryan.G Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 After an Epic 3 days fitting a Syvecs S8, bigger injectors, new engine loom and redoing all the nitrous system through the ecu we finally got it dialed in on the strip. Resulted in an 8.5 with a 1.2 60ft!! The map will have to stay at that now so he doesn't get thrown of the track with his cage being tagged to 8.5. GOOD OLD VPOWER! Im just glad the Wizard of NOS kit is gone! 3D Mapping and closed loop nitrous control just cant beat! Here is a Vid of an earlier 8.6 run with the launch abit more aggressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Can the cage be upgraded easily or is it a case of build a new car to go faster? Amazing 60ft, What sort of BHP do you think the car has Ryan? ID2000's? Edited August 20, 2011 by JamieP (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Unbelievable, fantastic run mate. Really getting there with the UK cars now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Can be upgraded but add a fair bit more weight. I think deep down stu wants a Webster chromoly shell. It's using about 72% injector duty of id2000 so with 3bar base pressure and going with 5.8cc of fuel per hp it's around 1400hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The car weighs 1390kg with stu in and Leons is around 1050kg so would knock off a second easy on strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont doubt it will easily run faster than its tag if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
