MaStaMooN Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks to the OP for enlightening me to MCM... only show I actually watch consistently on youtube. Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiahatsiu Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Must be something to do with correction factors. Aussie cars with same mods as US cars get lower chassis dyno results but run similar MPH. Really evident with supras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiahatsiu Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The chassis dyno is just a tuning tool at the end of the day. Wait and see what MPH gramps runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzr750r1 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Cool but why not wick a little more boost? Say 11lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviman Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Because they're running boost on a stock engine with high compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmaresmk Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I kinda agree. They where running e85 yet they stuck to only 8lbs. I think they where being extremely conservative with it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzr750r1 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 As stated there are other plans for it, so well see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think we should bump this thread, since they just replaced gramps with 'super gramps', which is a fourth gen LGT wagon JDM . For those who have not seen it yet watch this first [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxKzb4fZwBI]Gramps the 11 Second Car - Part 12 - YouTube[/ame] then this: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo8uMdLG5lc]Gramps the 11 Second Car - Part 13 - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiahatsiu Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Would i get more internet cred if I said my fab work and low mount turbo was done by turboyoda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Would i get more internet cred if I said my fab work and low mount turbo was done by turboyoda? Sure! I think he is a cool guy and knows his stuff. Seems humble and knowledgeable. Do you have a build thread? I'd like to see some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiahatsiu Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I do. In the gen iv photo section. And yeah Al and Miles are great guys. Marty is a good guy too, very humble and intelligent. Took him out for a few laps at powercruise last yeah, as well as jaunting around looking for a gasket for my shitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 That's awesome man. Yeah they all seem very cool guys and great to hang out with. I would actually love to pick turboyoda's brain to learn even more about our cars. I bet he knows a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xt2005bonbon Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I admit I do watch Motortrend as well consistently, but it is not as fun as MCM although roadkill is still pretty cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviman Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I just wish they had more details about what they've done for the wiring on supergramps. Did the piggyback another ECU in to run the engine? What about gauges? So many questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
