ran a twin turbo 99-04 mustang

[dkbmxer002]

so tonight.....


i was hanging out in a parking lot and this 99-01 twin turbo mustang wanted to run me. so we figure out everything and we decide to go from a 55 roll. we line up and he gives off a very quick three horns and we are off. i put about half a car on him and then he gains the car back and i am at about his door, at this point we are doing 130 and he goes into over drive. as we go into overdrive i start pulling him again. by 150 i am about a half a car on him, then things for him start going south and oil starts blowing everywhere around 160/165mph and he has oil going all over the road. we both shut down and pull into a parking lot.



in the end i beat him but it was a really badass run all the way up to 160/165 mph up untill he blew his motor.




i learned two things tonight, 1: my car handles pretty well at 160+ mph for not being a porsche and 2: i will never race a twin turbo mustang for their sake. this is the second one to blow up while i was racing them.......

[Beez]

That sucks for him, good story though.

[chunky]

your sig says your car is stock, is that true or just an old sig?

if your car is stock i call BS on you running 11.7s and you beating this car unless he was having major traction problems, couldn't drive, or the car was not tuned (could be why he blew"

[llegos]

he runs the 11.7 on the nawz, which should be good for what, 400ish HP? A TT stang should be at 500 if they know what they are doing, so what gives on his part?

[dkbmxer002]

the sig is old, i run 11.7 with a 125 shot, y pipe and air lid. other than that my car is stock. but yeah i should be a little over 400hp.



he knew how to drive fine. all the way up till his motor blew. it was pretty much stock internals on the mustang (probably why it blew)



also my car is easily good for a 11.5/11.6 i just dont have a 1/4 near by to get that damn pass which sucks. once i get the stall and drag radials i am going to be in the low 11's

[Me007gold]

what kinda person twin turbos and automatic mustang?

at least for street use.

[dkbmxer002]

yeah i dont know, i thought it was a manual all the way till we were in the parking lot trying to figure out what was blowing oil

[CrazyCarl]

the tt stang must be running low boost, cause usually a tt that is actually built would have toasted u.....nice kill..anything can happen on the street

[Crash-Override]

i would be carefull next time you see him though, im sure he gonna build up the internals now. I know I would!!

[llegos]

the tt stang must be running low boost, cause usually a tt that is actually built would have toasted u.....nice kill..anything can happen on the street


must have, cuz he was stock internals...now that makes sense. Im sure if he were running fully forged and some decent boost he woulda smoked your ass out.

bmxer, if you get a nice cam, some slicks, 4.10's, and a stall convertor, it might be enough for high 10's

[dkbmxer002]

he was on 8/10 pounds i believe. i will try and ask around and find out. i just found out tonight he made 515 on race gas. so i think should be around 450 on pump.


no he shouldnt have pulled me. he was running real strong untill his motor blew. i pulled him thus proving he shouldnt have pulled me.

[eman]

no he shouldnt have pulled me. he was running real strong untill his motor blew. i pulled him thus proving he shouldnt have pulled me.

Hahahah. I just thought that was funny. (edit, not insulting you at all, it just sounds funny)

Take your car to the track, I'm not doubting you, I just wanna see(and I'm sure you also want to see) what your car can really do.

[dkbmxer002]

Hahahah. I just thought that was funny. (edit, not insulting you at all, it just sounds funny)

Take your car to the track, I'm not doubting you, I just wanna see(and I'm sure you also want to see) what your car can really do.

just look at my sig. my best in the 1/4 was an 11.7 at 118. that was with a 7.6 in the 1/8 at 93. i have run 7.5 at 94 in the 1/8. so i know its run faster then 11.7 it just sucks because it was at 1/8 track

[s10mafia50]

Nice, the most a 4.6 with stock internals can truely handle is 7psi constant. Once you hit 600hp, the manual tranny in the gt isn't strong enough to hold the power, so the AT is the better way to go. Once that engine is built, he will be running more boost, and you will probably never be able to keep up again. The shop here in evansville just finished replacing a TT roush motor. The guy threw down 970 rwhp, and something like 1000+ ft lbs. He had to go AT because the manual wasn't strong enough. He made 750ish hp with 12 psi, and blew the old engine.....the 970 run was made on a block that can handle high 20's for boost, and he was running only 18psi. This guy was running 9's before the new motor, and probably at least 8's now. BTW, there are no tubs.....just 10.5 slicks...lol. I also bet your car makes at least 400rwhp on spray. Tis a shame that people are dumb enough to run those boost levels on a stock modular....lol
Andrew

[dkbmxer002]

Once that engine is built, he will be running more boost, and you will probably never be able to keep up again.




that is if you assume i am done modding my car. which i havent even started. my car is stock with a kit. once i get my stall put in with drag radials i will be low 11's then i will be doing a cam and long tubes. which should easily get me into the 10's with other minor mods. so before you go saying "once he builds his motor you will loose" think about what i will be doing to my car........

[llegos]

well it depends on if he has the money for the engine now.

[dkbmxer002]

well it depends on if he has the money for the engine now.



lol yeah that too. either way i ended up beating him then able to drive home. his car was still in the parking lot the next day which sucked :( but i still won in more ways then one lol

[Kaiyin]

Mustangs are teh suck. haha j/p to any mustang fans

Do you know what kind of setup he was running? Good kill though. To run an 11.7 with just intake, y-pipe, and a 125 shot, you must be hooking like mad off the line. My buddy with the same mods on his 99 Z28 on drag radials only managed a 12.8.

right now i run street tires but they hook pretty well, it puts down 1.8 60 foots.

yes, but this guy to have that in the first place probably has enough $$$$ to do it now, therefore until you build up too, you will get pwned. The TT stangs cost alot, but if the engine can handle it, they will be in low 9's or even mid 8's......it will take you awhile to get there, but you may someday. I meant that in the here and now sense of things.....btw, I recreated a new account cause they are being douschewaffles over in teh circus.

yes and fbodys can run 7's. but it all depends on the setup. he was in the 450hp range as he was when we ran. im sure he will be modding his car as will i but that has nothing to do with the fact that i pulled him.

[DCVING]

I personally think mustangs in stock form suck. :usuck: I beat the last gen GT running straight pipes, cai, and a programmer. The current GT is the only decent one in a long time. A LS1 F-body is a better platform to start from, plus they're a lot faster stock. :rock: You got any SLP on yours?

well it seems your guys cars were closely matched and I never said anything about pulling on him, it is just that the dud e seems to have money, and when it is done will destroy you for awhile, until you get modded up, by that time though, god only knows what will be done to his car.... And what other relevant point do you have other than "I pulled him"? Wow, you have what, 315+ stock, plus 125, and a few more ponies from the simple mods. There is no doubt you are probably around 420's in rwhp. Until I see dyno numbers, I'd say you had a bit more power, but then again the ford gt's AT sucks wang.
Andrew

[s10mafia]

do note the post above referred to the mustang gt's auto trans. They suck far more power than the 4l60e
Andrew

[dkbmxer002]

yeah it was a close race, it was also one of the best races i have had in a while. i should be right around 400/415hp. but from a dig i would have eaten him alive. by the time he gets it fixed i will still be a challenge and we might do it again, who knows.

[Force Fed Mopar]

Good race yo, I used to know a black dude down here that had a red 94 5-Oh GT w/ twin-turbos on it, it was freaking fast when it hooked up, even when running on junkyard engines. Notice I said "engines"- as in he went through a good many. He also had the same thing happen to his car at Fun Ford one year, it all of a sudden blew out clouds of oil smoke, some sort of oil feed line got pinched or something, or a pcv line or something.

[TurboVR]

must of been the worst tune ever, dan millen's single turbo mustang puts down 1200rwhp, i know its raced built, but still a TT mustang on the 4.6l should still put down some serious numbers

no the tune was actually pretty good. im pretty sure dan millens isnt even a 4.6. there is a WORLD of difference between the two cars....... research before you go and say stuff that you dont know much about...... not trying to be a dick

the 4.6 has a hp limit with stock internals. do you think you could take a stock 93 civic, push 20 pounds of boost and create the same numbers a 9 second civic does? come on.......



thats like saying well the titan scion is pushing 1000hp but your turbo scion only puts out 250hp what is wrong with your car

[Crash-Override]

/\/\ -- :lool:

450 on Stock internals is actually really good on the 4.6's. Me and one of my oldest friends took his and did a hell of alotta work to it and it finally made 840 to the wheels, but the only thing stock at that point in the motor was the freakin block.

But that a different story, :beerchug:

BTW Very nice Camaro, alot faster than any other 99's with minor mods ive ever seen. Car mustve been made on a Wednesday (or whatever day is the "better made" cars.

its ppl like you who kill other motorists and give racing a bad name..

i can understand ppl who race to like 90 or even 120 .. just enough to pull ahead ans stay a head for a few seconds... but goin up to 150 with a car directly next to you is purely idiotic sorry. im not going to get into it but thats just dumb....

there was nobody around us except my friend behind us.



if you dont like it then you better never watch any of the teckademics videos or ever talk about street racing again.

First off buddy, i never said dan millen had the 4.6L beucase i dont know.,i was saying EVEN IF the stang you raced had the 4.6, with a TT setup you are still throwing down some serious numbers, which is why i figured a bad tune, that and it shit the bed, obviously i know there is a world of difference thats why i said his is race built, my main point was that i thought anyone who went with a TT setup would use the full potenial of both turbos to make big power and have the boost come on quicker and be able to take a camero with a big shot of juice, whatever, guess i was wrong, nice kill

its all good but compairing a fully built race car to a stock car with twin turbos is like compairing apples to watermelons.


he put 515 on race gas which is a really respectable number out of a stock internal 4.6 he put down probably around 450hp on pump. which is more then i put down

[llegos]

like andrew say, the mustang auto prolly sucks more power than ur tranny, and ford autos have always been shit besides the newer diesel auto trannies

i need to BAN myself??? i hope your not talking about me cause ive been here longer than you prob even knew what teck was... and in no way was i "dissing" teck.... see, theres ppl like Dado, Dan, birdman, ed. etc.... who actually have really modded cars with alot of money into them and who know what theyre doing... this guy DK has been postin kill stories racing anything that has more than 1 wheel when all he does is mash the gas and hit the bottle.. thats not talent thats just stupidty. he races everyone. its cool to race occasionally but to "brag" abot it weekly is just plain irretating ..

BTW about deserted roads.. it dont matter.. when your doing 150+mph with someone on your ass and your tire blows out and you hit that car then it made no difference if you were on a emtpy road in rush hour cause either way you have yourself a serious life or death problem.... and im not the only one on this forum who feels this way... street racing is cool at certain times and with certain cars but i dont support it. i support the style and life of building something unique and quick... so thanks.

so your saying you have never street raced? ever? because if you have your a complete hypocrite there pal. so you think its safe for let say you to go to 120/130 mph but for me to go to 165ish once is not ok? so your saying that going to 120/130 is much safer then 30 more mph? (even though it probably takes me less time to get to 165 then it does for you to get to 125)there is no difference when other people do it then when i do. there is no talent? right......



listen there kid dont ever start. dont act like you know better. if you have ever street raced anyone then you need to just put your foot in your mouth and move along. because your just calling the kettle calling the pot black. :rollseyes:

[Anthony C]

hittin 165 once in a blue moon is cool, my friend did 182 in his supra and i was very impressed but.. however it was an empty road wher he had no one in the car and no one racing him. you may say your racing on an empty road but your really not cause you got that other guycs car right there with you. hey man if you wanna brag about it and how your car is stock except for a bottle and like exhaust or whatever then thats fine but its not impressive.. your car is automatic, all you do is step on the gas and go ,... and then push a button to get ahead....

whatever man im not even gonna continue with you, you know how half this forum feels about your "kill stories".... soooo rollseyes back at you

right. well dont be a hypocrite and say what i am doing is bad when you obviously do the same thing.....



and i find a 14 second car not impressive especially when it has a loads of mods to get there. i find any 11 second car impressive with little mods alot more impressive. because despite what you think, not everyone can run fast times with an auto or with a bottle, it does take skill. if you could everyone would do it.

I happen to enjoy these stories, and can back up most of his stories against fords. Most of the stock internal cars run low boost. Also, I have been a veiwer here mainly spending my time at tracks and working on my s10 rather than post. I think I've been a viewer from around april last year. Anyways, I also enjoy seeing dk's stories from time to time and this is what the section is for. In all respect, street racing is what made teckademics what it is today. It seems a few people on here always talk bad about street racing, yet they support teck......that is fine, but when the speak out against the very thing that teck is based on, that seems a little iffy to me. Anyways, I'm tired of arguing about it, am actually stopping racing for now, and saving for a vette......lol. DK, I hope to see this guy and you have round 2 before long.
Edit: there is also great amounts of skill required just to do 160, let alone 11's in the 1/4 mile on just n2o

How much street racing did you actually see in the last mischief? not much compared the very first one when it was a lower budget. the movies turned more into exotics and higher end imports doind other things besides just racing down roads run after run. to me seeing car after car in the dark going after ppl flag it down gets old and repetitive which is why you dont see it so much now in teck videos bc now teck does things that other car videos dont really do.. theres tons of dvds out there just showing run after run... its boring, i do however like track racing better bc you can see the times and speeds after their runs. but dont say im disagreeing with teck.. seriously you should shut up and just stay out of it and go work on your s10.... kthankx :weaksauce

and so you know i dont support street racing cause ive heard of pplwhom are friends of friends who have died and i read the paper and alot this past summer inocent ppl were killed weekly due to morons racing at the wrong time.... do i do it? yea sometimes but i dont go faster than 110mph if that cause my life is worth more and so are others then saying "oh i beat you, my dicks bigger" c

[Me007gold]

i dissagree. if you have 375-400 hp with an auto, all you HAVE to do is put the pedal on the floor. once your going, tracting ISNT a problem.

I've lost 4 friends to street racing, one on a gsxr 750, 2 in a s/c 2001 cobra, and 1 in a 1991 vette. I also see these things about people racing at the wrong time and call them idiots. Where I'm from, we don't hold completely organized events. We have run point to points before, but mostly impromtu runs. I may have to take pics of where to go in evansville. Anyways, I am not sure what to say to your street racing comment other than the fact of, no there wasn't much of the straight line runs, but I consider rally events as street racing to, although they don't have to speed. I still just see street racing as racing period. Hope that clears your mind on what some people consider street racing. BTW, that thing I bolded is soo old, yet cracks me up everytime I hear it....lmao. good post up there, just cause of that bolded quote....:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

yes, that is exactly what you are doing. because many others on has gone to at least 160mph before. and if you are going to say that im dumb for doing it, say it to everyone, or dont say it to me. because you are putting down teck.




so your saying that going 110 is ok but 160 isnt? do you think 110 will save you or someone on the road next to you and 160 wont? wow your dumber then i thought..... anything over 100 is going to be dangerious. and if your going to critisize me over racing then maybe you should think about the fact that you have and do race people. weather you do it alot of a little you stil do it and it makes you a hypocrite. so yeah

[dkbmxer002]

i dissagree. if you have 375-400 hp with an auto, all you HAVE to do is put the pedal on the floor. once your going, tracting ISNT a problem.



really? how many people do you see doing it? its not easy. despite what some think.....


i have seen autos run shitty in all cars because it ISNT just "stomp the gas" like some think. there is a world of difference between driving a 17 second auto honda and an 11 second auto z28. untill you have done it dont tell me its easy and just pushing the pedal.


and again try putting over 400hp down through 100 dollar wal mart tires and cutting 1.8 60's

thanks for bringing Hondas into your argument for no reason..........on the myspace auto message boards (the gayest place ever) there were 2 guys with Z28's with nitrous and a girl with a Mustang and nitrous all running 11's makeing the same exact arguments as you are lol about how drag racing autos takes skill and such.....it just makes me laugh how alike you are......so evidently running 11's with a Z28 with nitrous isn't all to difficult, I've met three people doing it in two days......eh but post all the kill stories you want they amuse me...and it's not like your not going to race if you can't post the story so that doesn't really matter.....and 9D2StreetGSX as much as I respect you and your opinion you are being somwhat hypocritical, street racing is street racing, Teckademics may have evolved but they were created from street racing.......yes there are safe times to race and speed and we all should use good judgement......please don't take offence from my comments anyone I'm not trying to contribute to this little war just sharing what little I know.......

i said hondas as example, it could mean cavalier, civic, 240, anything. but i wouldnt say a z28 since stock they run 13's.



i love how yet again people who dont run anywhere near 11's or even 12's try and argue that it is "easy" to run 11's with an auto. again i would love to see you attempt it especially with 245 wal mart street tires..... its not as easy as you say.

the rest of what you said i agree.

well i would agree with you if they were not rated to go that fast but..... since they ARE W speed rated im pretty sure its just as safe as doing it on any other high speed rated tire.... so its not going to blow out on me as easily as another shitty tire. but of course it could always happen.....



here is a list of tire specs for speed rating just for future reference.....


M 81 mph 130 km/h
N 87 mph 140km/h Temporary Spare Tires
P 93 mph 150 km/h
Q 99 mph 160 km/h Studless & Studdable Winter Tires
R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
T 118 mph 190 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
U 124 mph 200 km/h
H 130 mph 210 km/h Sport Sedans & Coupes
V 149 mph 240 km/h Sport Sedans, Coupes & Sports Cars


When Z-speed rated tires were first introduced, they were thought to reflect the highest tire speed rating that would ever be required, in excess of 240 km/h or 149 mph. While Z-speed rated tires are capable of speeds in excess of 149 mph, how far above 149 mph was not identified. That ultimately caused the automotive industry to add W- and Y-speed ratings to identify the tires that meet the needs of new vehicles that have extremely high top-speed capabilities.

W 168 mph 270 km/h Exotic Sports Cars
Y 186 mph 300 km/h Exotic Sports Cars







mine are W rated.

lol, I was going high 120's on high quality s rated tires......lol, oops. Anyways, I now have z, and the car I wen't 140's in was z as well. Anyways, 510, great post man, cleaned everything up perfectly. Also, I agree with DK again, the fuzion tires are extremely nice for the money. They hook like m old toyo's and look awesome if they are the directionals.

why can't we all just get along? :sadwavey: hehe FYI everyone, Wal-Mart sells brands like BFGoodrich, toyo, nitto, etc. Drag radials, high speed ratings, anything you need. Just ask for their special order catalogue. Their prices are really good and it;s the real deal. Check it out :werd:

[Hawk037]

my old ls1 ran 12.7 on an intake/exhaust (no Drag radials) 6sp...i thought that was impressive...lol

I'll one up you and try and run 11's or 12's with a crappy Honda :thumbs: ...........I have zri's on the back of my car....they're not that bad...they don't hold as well as my 615's but ehhh not bad for the price.........

ok, i will try to keep my posting to a minimum here. I totally agree with what 510 is saying here. My view on the whole skill thing is that as much as you go to the track and such, and as much as you have practiced with the same mods and such, a 1.8 60 shouldnt be that hard if you have been doing this for a while. Practice does make perfect, but after a while, it does seem sort of second nature, and it something that can be done without too much trouble if you are in the same car with the same mods every time. I dont think i would ever to race up to 160 in a basically unmodified camaro on a public road.

I agree that you become skilled at it. Learning how to do it is also known as skill. Also, those fbodys are pretty tricky for even an experienced driver to hook up properly. 1.8 to 60ft is pretty good for street tires on about anything. Also, give me a car that will do over 160 and I'll do it...but I like to survey the road I run it on. I chose a 2 lane highway at 3am for the lincoln's move, I think it had more....but I was getting worried about where the cop that clocked me was now....lol. But Lincoln LS, v8 sst+ the factory "Autobahn" chip means it shoulda shut down at 160, if the car would push there. I stopped around 140 and started thinking what country roads I could fly down to escape.....lol. It is stupid to race period, but oh man is it a thrill.....for that, I admit I must be stupid....lol.
