EPIC Turbo GT build #1

[dirtyd88]

Hit 700 on pump but backed it down a little no reason to try and melt it down

Race gas is in, but the alternator took a crap working on it now

Well I was off.

Mostly just no reason for it when good fuel is on hand. Set it up so it's safe to run around on the street with pump gas and not have to worry every time you stop at the gas station that its top quality.

Exactly when he wants to beat on it we will run good fuel no reason to risk the brand new engine on cheap fuel

Well I was off.

You were close it might of hit a bit over 700 i will have to double check

Update?

Best i think was 980 ish through the 4R70 unlocked converter

With convertor locked it would easily surpass 1000. Locked vs unlocked convertor shows up big time on dyno numbers. But effect on track ET is barely if noticed at all _(locked vs unlocked)
From my past experience.

you are 100% right

We did a 3v Not to long ago it only made 900 through an Unlocked 4r70 and that car ran 8.40s

what's the issue with pushing more than 7 on pump?

With 700 RWHP @ the wheels, it is making well into the 800+ range on pump gas as is which is a HUGE accomplishment with pump gas. As stated, there's absolutely no need to chance a brand new engine on pump.

Great numbers by my book on pump though.

 

[JP0814GT]

Yep and when you factor auto trans and non lockup convertor its even making more than what's showing on dyno these numbers are solid. I wouldn't be surprised to see this car run some fast times possibly faster than the dyno numbers reflect after some driver seat time.
I'm pretty sure this car will be tweaked some more in the future.
This is the first combo with a stock heads and cam Coyote I've seen with a non lock up 4R trans, Bullseye turbo & VP unleaded as the fuel.
Good results in my opinion with first time experimental combo! :thumbup:

What caused the issue at tx2k to where it already needs a rebuild?

You are jumping to conclusions. There was a noise in the engine. They will not know till they tear it down. It could be 1000 things. Not necessarily needing a rebuild. Might be something as simple as converter bolts coming loose.

^^ This. From what I hear JPC and RGR are really stepping up to the plate on this and standing behind their customer to make sure all is well.

Was just asking off what I was told, either way they're fixing it that's all that matters! Hopefully it's nothing.
