KBR Performance * Redline Time Attack round 2, video

[uls]

engine displacement was increased to 2.4 liters right?

[KBR]

engine displacement was increased to 2.4 liters right?

yes. we used a Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 liter block and installed a custom spec Magnus Motorsports connecting rods and Ross pistons. we are using the same engine that we built for Land Speed Racing (for 2006, 2007 & 2008 Land Speed race season). our engine is very strong & reliable!

[KBR]

this is the same engine (specially the block.. which now has more than 10K miles) that I originally installed back in '06-'07 Land Speed race season. although we have changed a few things through the years (valvetrain components, fuel system, turbo, exhaust system, intercooler system, etc..) which all were changed to suit our needs for Road Racing applications.


heres the current pix. of our engine set up.

[uls]

wow

the size of the piping

the turbo must be huge

--

what did you use for engine management?

i'm sure no amateur piggyback stuff for that thing

stand alone i guess

[gearspeed]

Yup the turbo is huge.
Alam ko AEM gamit nila with Serial number 001 or pinalitan niyo na ba kbr yung engine management?

[uls]

baka hindi lang AEM EMS yan

i'm not gonna be conservative with my guesses this time hehe

that's a serious car

baka naka MoTec yan

[KBR]

Yup the turbo is huge.
Alam ko AEM gamit nila with Serial number 001 or pinalitan niyo na ba kbr yung engine management?

yeah, we used to have the very first AEM EMS serial # 000.001 . but that thing was pretty old and very unreliable, so now we use MoTec

also, our turbo is not that very big at all. its a 62 mm dual ball bearing turbo by Forced Performance. the specs on our turbo is almost the same as the Garrett GT35R but our turbo spools a lot quicker.


aite, peace.

Matindi specs nitong Eclipse na ito.

[uls]

sensya na ha i'm just curious...

now that we know how much power the engine makes, let's figure out how that power is transferred to the wheels

the clutch -- hmmm, what did you use, KBR?

twin disc? ceramic? kevlar?

we are actually making 687 hp to the front wheels also, we're using ACT 6 puck sprung hub ceramic clutch. we dont use any fancy stuff clutch wise, also our transmission is a fully built Sheperd Racing stage-4 5 spd tranny. which is nearly indestructible.

heres another nice video of our dyno runs w/ the Eclipse

wow

both dynos couldnt handle the torque

you use pump gas in the dyno sessions and you use race gas on the track right?

what's the octane rating of the pump gas?

and what's the octane rating of the race gas you use?

and what's the octane rating of the race gas you use?

back then we use race gas on both dyno sessions & race events (specially back when we are doing Land Speed Racing). we used to use A8C race fuel from ERC Racing Fuels (costs $12.99 per gallon!) and it is rated * 120 octane . but now, we use Ethanol for fuel. we use E85 pump gas from Chevron (only $2.99 per gallon) and it is rated * 110 octane.

anywayz, the way our car is tuned right now, we make almost the same horsepower figures by using E85 pump gas compared to using A8C (or C16) race fuel. the only difference is that we consume twice the amount of fuel when we are using E85, compared to A8C or C16.

cool




i understand land speed racing is straight flat out

for time attack, i'm sure you couldnt use the suspension set-up from land speed

what suspension are you using now?

[KBR]

cool




i understand land speed racing is straight flat out

for time attack, i'm sure you couldnt use the suspension set-up from land speed

what suspension are you using now?

we're using custom spec KW suspension coil-overs w/ custom Hypercoil springs & custom Dennis Grant upper hats. we also use SPC control arms and most of our bushings are polyurethane. also, our suspension system is fully tuned, aligned and dialed-in by ROBIspec, which is a very well known chassis & suspension shop that specializes in Road Racing.
