  1. Headgasket for 35-40psi??

    95 ft/lbs
  2. Headgasket for 35-40psi??

    O-ringed block with copper o-rings, mitsu MLS headgasket and standard ARP's have worked very well for me on my street car. I am running 41psi on E85 with a GT4094.
  3. 9 second drag radial DD

    The tires are 245/50R16 Nitto 555r drag radials, so they are 25.9" tall, I was going through the traps at 8000rpm @137.
  4. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    All those super high horsepower v8 drag cars must be really missing out:rolleyes:. How fast are you planning to go? 10's? a good factory restall is all you need, if you sweat high trap speeds so much, put a 5-speed in it. An automatic is all about ET.
  5. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    So if 60AWHP is your point, then you are going to run the converter "locked up" all the way down the track? Or just lock it up on the top end for that extra .005mph?
  6. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    Also if you play with the numbers just a little, things change. If my 26" tires actually grow or measure 26.5" at 148mph then the slippage would be closer to 8%
  7. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    Those numbers are accurate, but the car is most likely going through the traps at around 9000rpm on the 148.9mph pass. It is a 11" converter and it only stalls to about 3800rpm without any boost, 5psi its about 4100rpm, and 20psi at about 4900rpm which is where we launch it. The car pulls...
  8. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    The 4.422 number comes from the Mitsubishi factory assembly manual, go look it up. The Hughes converter is tight but it will spool a 67mm T4 and a 4094R without nitrous on a 2.1 or a 2.3l (somewhat slower on the 4094R). On a 50hp shot of nitrous the spool is very fast.
  9. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    Just went back and rechecked, its 4.007 for non-turbo FWD, 4.376 for turbo FWD, and 4.422 for turbo AWD.
  10. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    You are still wrong, for AWD 1g auto it is 4.42 (factory manual specs) , its 4.0 for the FWD. I am perfectly happy with my 5% slip converter.
  11. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    So that puts the slippage at just over 5%
  12. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    1G auto AWD's have an overall 4.42 to 1 gear ratio
  13. Who has installed an automatic turbo 2G trans in a 1G??

    With the spragless Hughes restall I am using, we have very little slippage up top. Trapped 148.9mph on 26" QTP's turning around 8500-9000rpm
  14. Prototype A/T Transmission Manual Controller

    It works great, its my preferred method of shifting. Going down the track all you do is shift the 1st switch off for second gear then the 2nd switch off for third, it is very intuitive and easy to remember.
  15. 1G A/T in a 2G

    Just curious where you got the 4.42 number from, and yes the car will be back at the track this year.
  16. AUTO TRANS Free Rev ~ Long but, Fully Detailed

    Even with all the electrical connections disconnected from the transmission it should have a forward and reverse gear, if not then there is an internal transmission failure. From what you are saying it sounds like the front pump.
  17. AUTO TRANS Free Rev ~ Long but, Fully Detailed

    Was the transmission just put back in? Sounds like the front pump in the trans is broken.
  18. 1G A/T in a 2G

    That's slip percentage, NOT efficiency.
  19. Dual Flex Plate or Single Flex Plate?

    yeah I thought they were the same, just curious.
  20. Dual Flex Plate or Single Flex Plate?

    Any reason you switched to a 1g trans?
  21. Dual Flex Plate or Single Flex Plate?

    The converter I'm running uses GM torque converter bolts, not stock mitsu bolts. So it depends on what lugs are welded to your converter as too what bolts you can use. Any high grade steel bolt in the correct thread pitch should work well.
  22. Dual Flex Plate or Single Flex Plate?

    I am running two stacked now, not welded, with some torque converter bolts from advance with alot of red locktite. No problems in the last 4 track visits. I was only having problems with the single plate with the car was missing or running rough under boost, then the bolts always wanted to...
  23. 1G A/T in a 2G

    Around 8000rpm
  24. 1G A/T in a 2G

    Have trapped 148.9 mph in third, with plenty of rpm left. That is on 26" qtp's though. Stock restall (done by Hughes) is doing great in our car.
  25. fastest spool up for 8th mile racing?

    The stock converter will tear up quickly with any kind of power, broke one on the third launch with a 16g and another with a gt35r after two launches
  26. broken crankshaft??

    Several years ago I was having a problem with cranks breaking just like that, I swapped balancers, flywheels, everything I could think of, but after about two months the crank would break again. I replaced the block and never had another problem.
  27. New Auto AWD record

    Crower springs and retainers, HKS 272 cams
  28. New Auto AWD record

    We run it up just over 9000rpms, the head is not ported and the valves are stock.
  29. head gasket decision...

    I have seen the Titan ICS work fine, and I have also seen them leak coolant and fail. The Mitsu MLS will always work fine up to around 32-34psi as long as:-use new ARP headstuds, or ones that have only been used once before and not overtorqued -the head and deck surfaces are true and very...
  30. New Auto AWD record

    Yes, chipped ecu, MAFT and afc, 1000cc injectors
  31. Fastest A/T DSM

    I wouldn't use just the switches on a daily driver, it might get annoying and I don't know the long term effects it would have on the tranny, but it works great for drag racing. On my daily driver 92 talon auto AWD I used a three position toggle switch to turn off the TCU and then send 12v...
  32. SBR Intake Manifold Track Times

    Talking about two cars in this thread, the 92 has the 35r and is my street car. The 91 has a 67mm t4 and does not see a whole lot of street driving and is always on race gas. Both have the same converter. Stall speed depends on alot of things, no real way to know exactly what the stall speed...
  33. Fastest A/T DSM

    50hp shot of nitrous, any more likes to breaks transfer cases. Weight maybe around 2700???? Converter is a Hughes restalled unit. Shifting is done manually, switches directly wired to shift solenoids. Transmission is stock 120,000 mile junkyard unit with a welded center diff.
  34. Fastest A/T DSM

    Info on the car is in my profile
  35. SBR Intake Manifold Track Times

    Stalls to about 3400 with no boost or nitrous, once the boost starts building it can reach close to 4800-5000rpms right before launching. The stall of any converter depends on engine torque, the higher the torque the higher any given converter will stall.
  36. SBR Intake Manifold Track Times

    We hope to run the car again this Saturday if the weather stays nice. I did want to thank Chris Boone of Slowboy Racing for all his help in getting me the parts we needed on time for the 2.1L and the SBR sheet metal intake manifold. If all goes well hope see some mid to low nines soon.
  37. Fastest A/T DSM

    I am still using the single oem plate, as long as the bolts are kept very tight I have had no problems with many 9 sec passes and 1.4 60ft times on the same plate. The car should be up and running again this next week, hoping for some low 9's soon.
  38. SBR Intake Manifold Track Times

    I would definitely be willing to try it out, the top to bottom spearco was on the car when I got it and I've been wanting something bigger. I did want to mention this is a heavy street car that still has everything on it (except A/C, it was leaking everywhere and I did not want to fix it) and...
  39. SBR Intake Manifold Track Times

    I searched around and did not see any times for the SBR intake manifold so I thought I would share mine. This is on my daily driver that I just ran last weekend.The car: 1992 Talon AWD automatic -2.3L with eagle rods and manley pistons -stock head with Web street grind cams, ARP headstuds...
  40. Broken Accufab throttle bodies???

    I have had the exact same problem, I too would like to hear from others that run mustang TB's. I have broken two accufab 75mm, and have made sure that the linkage was not pulling tight, to the point that the TB was not even opening all the way. They break when I let off the gas to shift...
  41. bad knock sensor?

    The only other thing that I can think that could be causing the knock is possibly a boost leak, if you have one the turbo might be working that much harder to produce boost and contributing to the increased knock.
  42. .48 vs. .63 a/r lag and power

    I can tell you from personal experience that the .48 A/R housing did not work for me, but I am looking for HP not quick spool. If you hate turbo lag, go NA you will have none of that pesky lag. Personally I want to beat the guy I am racing so I have an .82 A/R.
  43. Plug Gap

    I gap my NGK BR8ES at .025 for 30psi and 80hp nitrous shot, any bigger gap and it misses on the nitrous (stock ignition).
  44. .48 vs. .63 a/r lag and power

    My compression is 9.0 to 1. What manifold are you using? If you are using a mitsu manifold with an adapter plate that would cause a lot of lag.
  45. What is the best car movie around?

    Thats the one, its got a primer gray 55 chevy.
  46. What is the best car movie around?

    Two Lane Blacktop......great classic drag racing movie, very sparse plot.
  47. one piston is lower than others why?

    Sounds like a bent rod, I fixed a 2g turbo eclipse that had the same symptoms, but it had a hole in the head and 2 bent rods.
  48. 90 GSX compared to 91-94 GSX:Pro's/Con's?

    90-92 6-bolts have bigger rods than the 93-up 7-bolt motors, that is what I was talking about. 6-bolt motor, 4-bolt rear, best of both worlds. They are not too hard to find, all the 92's I have seen were 6-bolt's.
  49. 90 GSX compared to 91-94 GSX:Pro's/Con's?

    Get a '92, stronger 6-bolt motor and 4-bolt rear MUCH stronger than 90-91 3-bolt rearend. 90 ecu's are different than the 91-94. These differences don't mean much if you only want a 13-14sec car, but if you want to go faster the '92 will save you money.
  50. .48 vs. .63 a/r lag and power

    With the .63 it would start making boost around 3100rpm, lag was not a problem, which is why I went even bigger with the turbine housing.
