Nice vid of the LoveFab turbo system:

Lays a beat down on dedicated big block draggers. Some impressive stats and, oh yeah, sounds sick too.

Cody really does nice work.

Ponyboy · 01-07-2008, 12:50 PM

Indeed. I liked how he was braking after 1/8th of a mile to keep the speeds down.

Would really like to see how it does on a road course especially w/ an amateur (typical hpde) driver.

Top Ramen · 01-07-2008, 03:41 PM

Well, the nice thing about turbo cars on the track is that a beginner/intermediate can set the power level to what they are comfortable with just by dialing the boost up or down.

Tinker219 · 01-10-2008, 01:26 PM

Thanks guys! I plan on attending several HPDE/Time Attacks this year. The car will be run at levels between 500 and 700whp, depending on conditions and the track.

Only three months left until driving season....sigh....

[in Nelson Muntz voice] Ha ha! You live where its cold. . .

Casey · 01-10-2008, 09:37 PM

looking awesome cody. what power level were you at in this vid? pump or race gas? car is incredible

IntegraXTR · 01-11-2008, 02:31 AM

hmm i've never been to a race track where they tell you to slow down...my friends ek hatch ran 10 flat and the tower asked him to do another run just to see if he'd break into the 9s lol

great vid tho! love the sound (and speed of course haha)

Tinker219 · 01-11-2008, 06:06 AM

Everything here was on Pump gas, 600-630whp. Wait till we get a full pass on racegas with the new turbo!

haha awesome. is that about the max for pump? what new turbo are you going to run?

Tinker219 · 01-11-2008, 10:35 AM

Thats the max that I am personally comfortable running. I could probably run some meth injection and pick up another 100whp or so.

As for the new turbo, I pegged the 4294R at just 24psi(771whp). The motor will hold 1500HP, so that should give you an idea of what I'm going with. I'm keeping the exact specs and setup quiet for now

Arthas · 01-11-2008, 09:25 PM

Great video! gotta love that Nsx

Top Ramen · 01-13-2008, 08:32 AM

Cody, are you still using the stock intake mani and TB?

Tinker219 · 01-13-2008, 11:27 AM

Yes, stock I.M. and TB(cable TB as I switched to a 92 chassis).

Ponyboy · 01-13-2008, 01:29 PM

man, I really wish I had a spare engine to send 'ya, Cody. Someday.

Tinker219 · 01-13-2008, 03:49 PM

Send us your car with the stock motor!

We will be lighting one up into the high 400's sometime this week. Not by choice, but he purchased my old turbo system and that large of a turbo needs to run a minimum of 10psi to fall within efficiency range. 10psi on my built motor was somewhere around 480whp. The customer is fully aware of what can and probably will happen with running at these elevated power levels with the stock motor, so more power to him!

However, we have a 100% success rate with stock motors(rather any FI motor that we've touched) at around 400whp for over two years now. Bring it out Shawn! We'll be doing a budget-priced special sometime soon here, PM me if you're interested.

Cody, I'm sure he wishes he could. The technical term for the present condition of Shawn's motor is 'paper weight.'

Ponyboy · 01-14-2008, 10:38 AM

The phoenix will rise...this too shall pass...need more beer.

^ all things I've said to myself since being track mia.

The car/engine is in good hands though.

Greasemonkey75 · 01-14-2008, 11:52 AM

That is awesome!!! I have installed/driven my fair share of supercharged NSXs but never a turboed one. Must be sick as hell!! Are you using an intercooler? Water to air or air to air?

Tinker219 · 01-14-2008, 04:15 PM

twin-core WAIC setup. Intake Air Temps until we pegged the 42R on the dyno never crested 120 degrees. They jumped to 190 degrees when we left the compressor map behind
