We went down to the racetrack to make a few 1/4 mile shakedown runs....

I ran the first pass real careful like,...looking out for a misfire/noises, shifting @ 7000 rpm and granny slow style shifting...Before you go for big #'s you have to make sure the cars running good..moreso when your on a new setup.

12.1@126.5 with a 2.4 60 ft
It looks good to go :banana: .....so i go for a more agressive run....still with a easy easy launch but this time with shifts @ redline of 7500 rpm and normal shifting speeds.

WOW :eek: ...fckin shixt this car has some balls, alot faster then the first pass..as i shift into third.... :( The clutch died on the spot...dead as a door nail..the motor spun freely to about 7500-7700 rpm or so.

No smell,...no smoke....Just death of a clutch :lol:

Amazing, Amazing tuning by Mike@ Gruppe-S WOW :eek: is all I can say....He is the man :disco:

Exedey hyper single... :furious:

I know i should of gotten a twin plate....long story but,...i was scammed by another shop and ended up with this clutch

Stay tuned folks

wow, nice mph! cant wait to see what happens when you cut her loose. What clutch are you going to go with?

yea that sucks when you order a twin plate and you only get a single :lol: :lol: Which clutch are you going to go with, I can't wait to see some passes with a new clutch.

ps - which track did you go to? it was raining on and off all day at my house.

Well at least it held for this dyno run:

http://the.ghet.to/cars/derek/MarkG/MarkSTI.JPG

ps - which track did you go to? it was raining on and off all day at my house.
Sacramento Raceway..only 23 cars showed up @ the track

What clutch are you going to go with?
Don't know, yet

That sure is a sweet trap speed!

:( The clutch died on the spot...dead as a door nail..the motor spun freely to about 7500-7700 rpm or so.


HAHA 7700 my arse!

My data shows it a little north of that number........

Can't wait to get that new clutch in there and get her back out there mate!

Mike

Yeah I heard closer to 8200.

holy turbo lag, GT35R and FMIC?

Holy it's a drag car get over it.

what was your 1/8 et and mph?

...this car has some balls..Excellent! What fuel was that dyno run on?

Excellent! What fuel was that dyno run on?


Don't think it was 91. This isn't a dynojet

Mark go with the RPS or the ACT6 puck a lot less money and they both will hold.

Which excedy single did you have? Hyper? Ceremetallic? Organic? Was it the STI model or one meant for a WRX?

With that much torque and repeated drag launches I can't say I'm suprised it died. It was probably slipping and heating up the first few warm up passes and then failed when you really pushed it.

speedyHAM: "With that much torque and repeated drag launches I can't say I'm suprised it died. It was probably slipping and heating up the first few warm up passes and then failed when you really pushed it. "

he said he took only one realy easy run (with a 2.4 60ft how much slower can you get haha) then he ripped and and it died. that sucks dude. only half of a half ass run haha i bet that thing would have ripped a low 11 easy. whats the mods???

Congrats Mark!!!! That 126mph trap speed is really movin'!!!! You definitely have a 10 second pass in that car once you get the clutch issues sorted out. I have heard good things about the Tilton clutch for the STi, but its BIG $$$$$. I cant wait to see you make a hard pass.

-Matt

I think id would look else where before I bought a Tilton, my mechanic had one for a short while and it was nothing but problems and very expensive.

HAHA 7700 my arse!

My data shows it a little north of that number........

Mike
That single sure let go in a hurry :)

Thanks for the track support :disco:

holy turbo lag, GT35R and FMIC?
The car drives great...Feels alot more like a 30r then a 35r.

Early on, I was pushing Mike for more RPM...thinking i would have problems with lag/boost onset..He told me to stick with a 7500 redline or so.

He was right..The cars fine with the current setup..I'm very very happy with the powerband...6000rpm peak power :eek:

The turbos maxxed...thats a good thing :D

What else are you running on the motor? Nice trap :eek: Can't wait to see what it'll do when the clutch is replaced.

what was your 1/8 et and mph?
On the first run it was a 8.2-8.3...no MPH were given for some reason in my lane :confused:

The second pass i didn't even pick up a timeslip.

What else are you running on the motor? Nice trap :eek: Can't wait to see what it'll do when the clutch is replaced.

I'm not saying it was the launch- I think it was the peak torque. If your engine exceeds the holding capacity of the clutch it will slip and heat up- then fail.

Mark, I had nothing but problems with exedy, I just switched to an ATS carbon and I have never been happier with a clutch. If you want more info let me know.

Matt

Which excedy single did you have? Hyper? Ceremetallic? Organic? Was it the STI model or one meant for a WRX?

.
Hyper single...Stage 3

my friend had a hyper single, and the thing didn't last either. i've heard the hyperdoubles aren't much better, and they drive like ass. a full unsprung six puck drives eaier and lasts longer. just alot more drivetrain shock. i've also heard the Spec 3+ clutch is really good. awesome power though, congrats.

Great run!

If you want quiet, reliable, and affordable, the ACT 6 puck solid is really hard to beat. The discs are inexpensive and can be replaced. Lot's of drag racing and you'll have to change discs once every 15K miles and the flywheel once every 30K. The clutch requires a little finesse shifting due to the solid engagement and a little more revs from a stop. (All based on my personal experience).

A dual disc will get the job done but the noise and the expense??????

Thanks,
Phil
www.elementtuning.com

wow the act 6 puck is about a $1000 cheaper than the exedy twin plate.

isn't big valley team using the exedy twin on their runs. if so that clutch should hold up fine.

hey Mark,

is the tune of your set up completed or are you just seeing what your car can do now?

thanks.

Mike.

Would really depend on gas to be honest. typically between 330-350whp on 91.

For the record Mark's car isn't running C16, it's running a crossover equivalent gas that the jury is still out on whether it's any good or not.

I was referring to C16(I assumed Mark was running C16), but I'll take that as an answer...and wow, I know your dyno reads low...but I didn't know THAT low..

To be honest I imagine if all out power numbers were the goal there would be a little more to be had out of Mark's setup but there were a number of reasons to stop where we did.

One being that the injectors were max'd out.

Mike

omg 126mph on a shakedown run with a non-launch of 2.4 sixty foot??? that's amazing. i would go for the inexpensive, efficient ACT 6 puck as well. future congrats for when you go 10's!!!


Also, have you said (or will you say) what internals are in the Gruppe-S motor you have... wiseco pistons, ACL bearings, rods? This puts more faith in Gruppe-S... I've been eyeing them for a motor purchase.

Thats the sweetest reply I've seen all week. :cool:

nice!!!

i say you go with the exedy twin disc... it is a tiny bit noisy but with 450+ horsepower i dont think you will hear it over your exhaust haha, and it doesnt need as much finnes as the 6 puck. ive driven a 2.5rs with a 6 puck and took time to get used to and i drove an sti with an exedy twin (not sure what type) and it took me all of about 3 drives to learn. i think for street/strip go with exedy its more forgiving in trafic. but for less expensive same grabing force go 6 puck but not as forgiving for everyday driving.

put a clutch in that thing already and run it again!!

nice job all around. :banana:

Marks car has a Gruppe-S stage 2+ shortblock, the + being the addition of aftermarket rods.

Mike

thats a solid 10 second car man... nice!! 126+ = :eek:
have you opened it up? my friend broke the mount inside the bell housing for the shifter fork pin... same symptoms, no smoke/slippage etc. good luck!

New clutch going in tomorrow.
Changing out a few other minor things...and making a few mods to the EM.

Can't wait to make a full, solid pass on this puppy :)

what clutch are u runnign now?

Mark, I bet it had more than 126mph in it with the way it was tuned the other day. Since you weren't pushing the car hard through each gear (to redline and/or shifting) it would've trapped higher than that. Seems like everyone always wants to use trap speed as the ultimate indicator of power but I don't think it's that black and white. Your car is going to be sick i'm sure :)

If you don't mind me asking... why did you choose to go with the Wiseco pistons?

Besides that... 126mph trap speed is absolutely awesome... how much did the car weigh at the time of that run?

Good luck getting that 10sec time slip... I will be praying for you or something like that.

what clutch are u runnign now?

ACT 6 Puck.

Congrats on your car mark. I'm getting a spec3+ clutch today @ gruppe-s. Hopefully I will be hitting 400 on c16...

Hey Miguel!!! You finally going to tune for some real man's gas vs that ***** gas you have been running on?

I will be getting some real gas in there, if I can hit 400 I will be very happy with my setup. My goal is to hit high 11s, and 400 should give me plenty of power to get there.

Even with 400WHP you are going to have to drive that car tough man style. You should talk to mark before you go and have him give you some pointers on launching and shifting.

Did you ever do the clutch mod my friend? That is necesary for the exedy clutches to work properly....

have to modify the clutch master cylinder then this won't happen to ya! I believe you can find the directions on exedy's website.

Nice trap indeed... I hope to be hitting that here soon... but I think I am gonna have to do a clutch swap YET again before that happens... sigh.

Anyway... I have for sale a Spec Stage 3+... retails for $700... ;) I am selling it for $500 shipped... brand new... in box :D

def

wow. i wish i were there to hear your car when it was being dynoed at 470 WHP :eek:

don't forget to video your run when it happens.

good luck.

I have a Gruppe-S motor...that is the pistons they run :)

The car is full weight with no parts removed...with AC/Alpine-MB quart system/18 inch SSR GT2 wheels.

The wheels take off a few pounds i think as do the Sparco Tourino Seats...The car also has a few features that hold back power like the heavy and quiet Borla Hush exhuast...but hey this is also meant to be a street car.

Easy 130+..very easy.
The shifts were slow...throttle inputs were progressive...just in case something were to come up...and it did, on the first pass the driverside wheel inside plastic came loose and wedged itself between a tire and some suspension...It made alota noise, but no damage..alittle scarey to be honest.

Nothing a razor couldn't fix :)

meh,my car is faster.

Its fast for a Forester no doubt :)

I heard you maybe joining us @ the track?

yup, i'm going for a little fun.... test and tune is really nice to practice. Maybe you can give my car a run to see what she can do.

Hey Mark,

Don't mean to drudge up the past but are you still in contact with the viper owner and if so do you guys still plan on holding your grudge match? Inquiring minds want to know. :) It would still make for some interesting video.

There's 2 tracks. Usually people head up to Sac Raceway though. It's about a 2.5 hour drive from gruppe-s though :(

sac is a fast track, while sonoma's infineon raceway goes slightly up hill and has a headwind about 20+ mph in some days. Infineon is a heart breaker track, they're full race hondas doing 10s in sac only make it in 11s.

I'm not saying it was the launch- I think it was the peak torque. If your engine exceeds the holding capacity of the clutch it will slip and heat up- then fail.

Plus it doesn't hurt that he had almost twice the max recommended wheel horsepower for the single plate.... :huh:

that has to suck, sorry man.

dude 2.5 60ft you need to practice a bit on those 60ft's with an exedy single and the power your making you should be banin out 1.6's or 1.7's all day

All in all they/Mike spent way over 150 hours on the car to be honest...the shop that the car was @ before did a real hack job on everything.

I was pretty lucky they were nice enough to take me/my car in after the last shop screwed me know this would be a project car...i know this has been a thorn in the shops side and @ the end of the day they have lost money BIG time cause of this car not to mention the long hours they have spent working on it.

For the record everybody, I was just kidding about the 12.9/131 :) I'm sure Mark will make some nice passes this next round.
