I would like to review this last pages posts, deleted ones and all. It all started with Ted deleting some harmless posts. Yes Ted was wrong to do that. *What you could have done* was contact Ted and or the admins of this site and professionally discussed the deleted posts issue. I'm sure they would be undeleted and the thread would go on. They were harmless posts after all. But instead you started getting all upset at Ted, then through PM's with the admins of this site, you blew up. TTT posted some of those PM's which showed your childlike and unprofessional behavior. So you post again, saying screw this site and Ted, when the posts you've posted got you in this situation. More childlike behavior. Last edited by N.RotaryTech; 11-05-2011 at 04:32 PM. |

After being there myself and seeing it with my own eyes I would like to congratulate Judge Ito and his daughters for great driving skills in running 12.6 twice and the 12.4 run..
On her last run if she did not miss 3rd it was for sure a 12.3 run. She has a great approach at launching where she purposely slips the clutch and spins no tire.. Wonder how much longer that stock turbo can take. Great Job |

Judge, what AFR are you running? Your engine appears to be running pretty lean to put down that kind of power. Working with turbo engines at work every day, I have no trouble believing this power number and the drag strip times, but I do wonder if the engine is riding the razor edge of being damaged with a lean AFR and the stock intercooler.
Basically, I doubt that this much power was made rich of 12:1 and it was probably closer to 12.5:1. This is not a terrible idea, but it is a bit risky. Please don't let Ted get to you, he is very blunt, but he has a lot of experience and it certainly is not to be discounted. The question that he asked was valid, he just asked it in an aggravating way. It would seem that you have an excellent-condition stock turbo to hold 9 psi to 7500 rpm on a ported engine. What are you running for exhaust? How aggressive is the port work? Is the porting a trade secret, or can you provide pictures?

Aww, c'mon don't leave. you have 40 people congradulate you on some very impressive results and let the 2 doubters run you away? If you're right you're right.
Admitadly first though was to be skeptical when I saw the numbers, simply because 10 psi on a stock turbo usually only nets 220-230 whp (but that is usually on stock ports). However I've seen the type of port work you do on my friend's Alex's engine and if I stock turbo could hold 9 psi on those ports I have every confidence that these are authentic results. |

Ito, great results and congrats. I've seen this car in person and it runs! I got the same doubt years ago going 11.1 on stock FD twins and making 390HP because it did not add up and I did it with a stock ECU since the PFC was not available. Everyone doubted it but now you have guys in the high 10s with stock twins.
There are guys that calculate and analyze all the metrics and go on and on. The fast guys are not the ones that sit behind a PC and talk about the results of their calculations. You guys have to remember Ito was out there YEARS ago making power without turbos and expensive ECUs. You learn a LOT from that kind of experience. When racers were running NA 13Bs, apex seals were limited, no fancy parts no high tech ECU's, you're talking carbs and jetting and some headers, that's when great engine building and porting was your edge. There were no forums, maybe a big rx7 list but we knew who were the fast guys back then. Fast forward 10 or 15 years later, these guys will still have an edge. Keep up the good work Ito and keep posting the results!!! Anthony

You still have to unnecessarily swear and insult others? If you are going to insist on your poor attitude and can't objectively post without keeping your attitude against me (and others you don't like) out of it, I would rather have you leave and stick with other places who can swallow your negative side. I would normally take out all the unnecessary bits and pieces, but you'd just give me crap for that. I'll leave the last few replies just so others understand what's going on. I'll take all criticism in PM's. This thread is done for. -Ted Last edited by RETed; 01-31-2012 at 06:13 PM. |
