Finished mine up. Cracked the trim ring removing it so I just added this grill off of Amazon. Very happy with the noticabke improvement in bass quality. I’m no audiophile so that’s about the best description I can give lol.
Awesome!! I was thinking there had to be a benefit to just the pump upgrade which is a lot more feasible for most people. Looking forward to seeing more of your updates to this!
Did you do the camshaft with the larger lobe as well? I thought that was part of the complete “kit” or are you seeing these results with just the pump being swapped out? DI has great potential for power increases.
I know the one you are talking about. I got stuck on it for quite awhile. I did end up using a regular old combination wrench alternating between the open end and boxed end to break it loose and tighten it. One hand through the wheel well and one from the front of the motor. Remove the bolts...
Factory balancer. Whatever the stock shift points are. No two step. Not bouncing off the rev limiter. Like I said I think it had more to do with track mode. I would run it in track as opposed to sport or drag because of how the shifts weren’t too hard and wouldn’t break the tires loose like...
Broken stock gears 2019 Hellion twin turbo A10 car. No drag strip mostly 40 and 60 rolls. About 5k miles. The car didn’t get taken out and not see boost. I think it was track mode with the hard downshifts all the time after a pass but it went on an up shift. Rod knock and cam journal wiped...
Honestly I started it up once after shutting it down cause it was running fine. Cleared the code with the Ngauge and figured if it was a broken gear it couldn’t have been more than a single crack that was bleeding off as it was pumping. When I slid the oil pump off the crank and one piece...
I think it let loose on the up shift when the RPMs dropped down. So maybe 6500 then dropped down in limp mode. It was still making oil pressure after it through the warning. I had to drive it about a 1/2 mile before I could pull over. No knocking and 40psi at idle. Hoping the nannies saved it.
2019 Hellion twin turbo at 825rwhp A10 auto approximately 5k hard miles. I run it in track mode not drag for the easier hit on the tires on the up shifts but it is very aggressive on the down shifts. I was minding my business next to a Porsche who was also minding his own business. As it...
The job market is very tight. There is also a shortage of skilled labor as many of these kids were pushed in useless college degrees. I suspect the ones who quit aren’t quitting due to a lack of work ethic but more due to being unable to deal with the stress of the “real world”. A lot of this...
I was given some good advice upon entering the workforce full time Circa early 90s. I was told I need to do two things to be a superstar and be very successful in the workplace.
1) Show up on time with my shoes tied everyday.
2) Do something, anything while I was there.
The explanation was...
I only run professional. Buy it in the 5 gallon pails. I fill the smaller cans from that. I usually run a full can per tank but for the dyno I dumped a second can in. There are some serious diminishing returns on the actual octane number once you go past a full can. You will still see...
What gen motor? I made 825 with the Hellion sleeper on a gen 3 using 93+boostane. Was 2 full cans to the tank so a little over 102 octane. I have the stock pump with JMS bap and DW95 injectors. About 12.8psi I’ve turned it up to 13.5 on 3 cans on the street but never dynoed.
I wouldn’t want to lose anything myself. I was just trying to shed some light on why it wasn’t a bigger loss as compared to Y merging into a single 3 inch out would be. Definitely not ideal for the HP our cars make with any power adder but for other applications it might even be considered...
It’s not as much of a restriction because if it’s properly located in the system the exhaust pulses are not competing for cross section bank to bank. Think of the pressure waves (pulses) from one side reaching the x or Y section and “seeing” both exhausts as an outlet to escape. This of course...
