well we couldn't tell exactly what part let go but it was either a rod or the pin boss.. The car was on a good lap too.

If it was the rod, the weak point of the rod is where the material is poured into the foundry. and the funny thing is we think what killed the engine was the rpm. we had it raised an extra 1000rpm over stock. and Chris is constantly on the revlimiter. That motor is very very stout

 

How much whp was it doing before giving out at 22.5 and having an RPM limit +1000?

 

It was probably the rod. I believe that's what it's been for most of them that blew at higher boost/power levels on stock motor.

 

lol all four rods were bent when we took the engine apart

 

damn...well i'm pretty surprised that stock motor held up on 22.5 PSI and an extra 1K RPM at numerous races.

any possibility to see pics?? lol

 

yeah sure give me a sec

 

 

3 wheeling in the second pic. Sweet

 

nice pixs man. Do you have anymore videos?

 

yeah...i thnk i put up the buttonwillow one before on this thread. let me check if we have others

 

i can't find any other time attack footage. but here is another drag car vid from Pomona when Chris was #1 qualifier. just imagine if it didn't go threw the clutch at top end : ).

The production kit... will require us to move the battery?

 

nope you won't have to relocate the battery. we did that because it opened up the engine bay a little more so inbetween sessions at the track it is a little more accessible. here are pics of the kit on teh G4TV show SCION tC we did

 

oh my goodness i want this kit<3

 

I can't wait for it to be out also! There are going to be some very fast tC's out there, haha. Do you guys have any other questions?

 

1) i didn't see any info on this, but how is fuel management going to be addressed?

2) i find it hard to believe, but is it true that Toyota is sharing ECU related info??

 

I do believe they have chosen the Unichip Q as choice of management. If you saw the G4TV coverage, that answers your questions.

 

we have an injector setup for it and will be using uni chip

 

ok thanks!

 

Me too
