i def agree markus!!! i think we are looking at the first lx in the 9's!! i just noticed on that last vid that they are running the car at the silver dollar raceway........same as we run for the south east shin-dig!!!! wow, the weather must be a lot better now!!! best they did in august in the sweltering heat was 11.4 if i remember correctly!!!! either that or there are a few more "tweaks" to the car!!! lol
still can't believe they did it on that track!!! i will make sure to shut people up when they complain about the track at next years shin-dig!!!! lol
bite me!!!!! *clears throat*..... now back on topic!!!!! that car is friggin badazz!!! i wonder how much lighter the car is than a stocker???? i do not remember seeing the interior stripped out of it when i looked at it last august. anyone care to enlighten me.....
yeah, i actually went over to lxf and read the thread. pretty damn impressive if you ask me. what i am interested in is the trans comments. sounds like there was a lot of work put into "tuning" the trans. i am sure the 3.55 rear end helped a bit as well!!! lol
ok so if the are making 10psi with a ysi is that going to make the same power as rons blower at 10 psi. I mean PSI that is the same makes the same hp right? or am I way off?
Yes and no. Yes 10psi is 10 psi no matter what the size of the unit, however it comes down to the volume of pressurised air the uinits can flow at 10psi. This will show a difference in horsepower between the 2. A good example is blowing 10 psi through a straw then doing the same with a 3inch pipe. 10psi pushing 200cc air >10psi with 50cc air More power>less power It also has a lot to do with the efficiency of the unit. You will most commonly find that smaller units work harder to achieve the same boost levels that a larger unit achieves (talking same brands ie a V4 - V7 etc) This has a knock on effect and is where it could show a benefit to running the larger unit (if the engine needs it though). Less effort/work means less heat-more effort/work more heat. Heat kills hp so the larger unit is likely to be more efficient here and will show better power gains (Running the same intercoolers etc). HOWEVER there are draw backs to running a bigger unit over a smaller one which could see the smaller one make more power. It takes more effort from the motor to turn the larger blower as opposed running a smaller unit. So if you comparing identical motors with different sized blowers if it ain't set up right, you not getting the full potential from your engine or blower. You could also find that you would be tuning your car "defensively" or "safe tune" which removes power to make it safe to run. Tune the same vehicle setup with a smaller more appropriate blower and your tuner will be sqeezing everything he can out of it. Does that make sense. There are plenty of reason good and bad but in answer to your questions yes 10psi is the same no matter how you look at it. You only need to compare the volume of air at (same) pressure between either to determine what could add more power to that particular engine/setup. Then you need to determine if that unit is best suited to your build based on what is done.
LOL.....for sure mate. Get it happening. By the way to INJECTD Engineering, well done on a top effort. So very very close. 9's won't be far off now thats for sure. Well done guys!
