MNIVET (Turbo LS1 Miata) Vs. 800rwhp Corvette Procharged D1SC

lies!!!!! :d:d

The specific gravity of C16 is within 5% of that for 93 octane pump gas.
I don't understand how running a race gas with similar physical properties but a higher octane can create an "issue".



700 does roll off the tongue better.

If you have a tune to fire a specific fuel, throwing a lot more octane at it will not burn all of it, thus yielding less hp.

You make the most power with the lowest octane the setup needs... I put 3 gallons of 105 to a full tank of 93 in my dad's stock c6 and it lost 5 mph in the eigth...

[Rlhay2]

nope I had too much C16 in it and was messing with the tune, took some time to just get 93 in it. was just some operator error

So Thurick's car requires a precise devil's cocktail of C16, pump gas and methanol? Too many variables for me.

And now that I now he runs with a certain percentage of C16 in the tank, I know not to give him a pump gas run.

nope i run just pump gas have cut all c16 out pump gas to pump gas run!!!

[Rlhay2]

pump gas to pump gas run!!!

A true pump gas to pump gas run would require the vette's methanol pump being disconnected. A risky proposition for tune so sensitive a few gallons of C16 causes it to go haywire.

You keep the methanol, I'll just come prepared Monday.

lol the owner claims mid 7xx on a regular basis.

[MNIVET]

its my car guys for the ones who don't know.

The car does make 632rwhp @ 7-8psi boost...

The car that night was on about 9-10psi boost BUT has about 5 degrees of more timing pulled as well... its about 600-650whp in this video, NOT 700!!

I doubt me on 15psi (750'ish whp) would beat the vette, but I'll give it a shot.

I lost oil pressure right after those races. I gotta pull the motor, no idea what happened, sucks... It'll be down for a month or 2 ....

I shoulda put the top up... no idea what I was thinking.. I wonder how much of an affect it will have on my acceleration? always curious on that...

oh and just to clarify its 2660lb's with no gas and no driver.
2840lb's with me and half a tank in it.

and the difference between 10psi and 15psi is ASTRONOMICAL. its seriously a whole different car.

Im pretty sure he said it was tuned for 93 plus meth. Throwing the C16 in it was safety for the heat, BUT it caused it to run super rich cause the setup wasnt tuned for it... (newb mistake)

LOL if he turned that meth pump off he'd have melted goo for pistons.

Didn't your car only make 380rwhp on motor before the turbo?

There is no way it makes 632 rwhp SAE on 7-8 lbs. I don't care what turbo is on it or who tuned it. It simply will not make that much power.
I think that all of you tell so many different variations of its power output that you lost track of what it really makes.

Have you ever thought about having it dynoed somewhere besides TS?

Sounds like you need a hardtop, I would be a bit worried about the soft top at high speeds, I hit a bump once in my miata and the top unlatched at 75 and that wasn't much fun.

If it made 380 rwhp on motor I can't see it making more than 550-570 on 7-8 lbs.

That's what I was getting at. It would make 630 on 12-13 lbs.

you guys must not be familiar with the all mighty lsjuan, some say that they break all the rules!

I am not sure why there are so many variations of what it makes on what. I can verify that it did make 630 on 7-8 lbs to the tires. I was sitting in the car holding seans laptop watching the boost gauge during a pull and that is what it made and that was the boost levels. I have no vested interest nor do i care, but trust me, this is the truth. I do know that he changes the boost levels all the time for various reasons. So that will contribute to the different boost numbers you might see on videos. It has only seen 7-8 lbs on the dyno, all other higher boost levels were done on the street. The same settings that it sees 7-8 on the dyno, it sees 9 on the street. ie different load values which im sure you are familiar with.


Oh and i do believe the dyno was set to std, so that would be 630 rwhp std, or about 610 ish sae depending on the correction factor that day.

No, not really, they just break.
