someone should try superchargering a 4cyl..... :confused I know I wouldn't!!! Done a few s-chargers back in the day and only felt like a hair quicker......felt like an allmotor feel instead of real boost gutt feeling type of deal!!! someone prove me wrong and build one!!! :goof :shades
That's a great point I never thought about, man. :thumbsup Makes a lot of sense!Quote:

Regular Mobil1 oil changes and I don't beat on it when it's cold, so that might have helped. But the point is I try to run all my turbos to their limits and haven't had much problem... Although come to think of it -- I did the same thing on my Syclone and with 35,000 miles (only about 20,000 of high boost), the stock turbo felt like it had a lot of shaft play when I pulled it off. So I guess I'm undecided there.Quote:
With over 500hp I prefer a turbo that is effeicent and not having to "work" so hard. Could I accomplish the same power goals with a slighly smaller turbo and increase spool time by a few hundred RPM's, yes, but I do not like the idea of pushing my turbo to it's limits. I think the turbo will last a lot longer if it doesn't have to "work" so hard. But what do I know. :thumbsup
Wow, that's awesome! :headbang When the GM 4.2L DOHC Inline 6 came out, immediately I was thinking of the Supra motor and wondering if the results would be similar on this motor if turbocharged. I guess so! How did he get camshafts ground for that motor? Or does he still have the stock cam? I'm wondering what type of (forced induction capable) engine management could handle that motor along with it's exhaust cam phasing etc. Got a link I can read more about this interesting project?Quote:

Started in KC, and ended in Martin, MI. They had to drive to like 5 different towns in 5 days and make passes down the strip at each stop. Best average ET won. He ran an 8.62 @170+ on the last day of the event, but had traction issues at a few of the other tracks so he didn't win, but did pretty well.
He runs the BigStuff3.
He's driving the 66 nova wagon in the sm block power adder class. Way ahead of anybody else. But for some reason it says they didn't make a run in MI.
Maybe I misunderstood when I talked to him?
Looks like 8.82 was the best he ran in the competition not an 8.62. I know he said something about going 170 though, maybe it wasn't at this event. Oh well, still not bad for Mickey Drag Radials, and no boost control...
I run a GT61 on my bike. It's extremely efficient even in the mid 30# range...
550+rwhp on a 1.3 liter with intake temps in the 65 degree range can't be wrong...
