"Test n Tune", by Deimos (Ian)

jschrauwen · Post by **jschrauwen** » September 19th, 2005, 10:38 pm

Well, feeling pretty cocky with his new engine install, Ian (Deimos) feels the NEED for SPEED (in a controlled environment of course ....LOL).

"OK, I'm already ...... bring out the bad boys". Oh look who decides to take Ian's challenge .... it's Mr. Camaro.

"Ooooops, I think I missed the lights ... it's OK Mr. Camaro, you'll need the head start anyway ... I'm ZE powa'd .... I think".

"Hmmmm, what a splendid day at the track .... all by myself on Lover's Lane. I wonder where MR. Camaro went to?"

"Oh look, there he is .... that's OK Mr. Camaro, I'm still in the tuning phase anyway".

"OK, who's next ...... MR. Bracket Mustang, would you like to come out and play....?"

*THE END*

Well almost the end. Later on he did take on the Mustang too. Ian, you got b*lls ... LOL

oh i was already pretty sure i'm a DE, but at least i did get on the track. i assume the rev limit is someplace just above 7500? cuz i didn't hit it

and i believe the mustang cobra killed me even worse

So what did you run at the track? I don't know what KLZE MX3s run...

Devlin · Post by **Devlin** » September 20th, 2005, 5:44 am

well, my KLDE ran a 15.5 best of 4 runs. that's w/ a horrible start, stock intake and exhaust. as compared to my old K8 that ran a 17.5 a couple weeks ago.

No, no track time for me. I already know that my car is not 100% and I'm concerned that I may smoke the tranny or an axle. I've got a bunch of parts the need to be installed soon - calipers, rotors, SS lines, pads and few other items like Wideband O2's and and a stand-alone management system. Once this is done I wouldn't mind confirming the upgrades via track and/or dyno. Once I remove the heads this winter, I'll have a better appreciation of what's needed.

ah so hopefully next spring/summer you will be running the track...excellent...I hope to make it out then as well once my parts are installed as well.

A couple more pics (not taken by me)

Stock KL-DE running 18psi and hitting 11.4s

A 323 with a ZE swap and a 75 shot of nitrous (was in the 12s i think)

I was said when I looked inside of it because he had a FULL mx3 se leather interior in good condition

probe vs. 323

mmmm 700whp supra

I don't know how many times I passed by that Probe and not once was there someone to talk to or able to see under the hood. He kept it closed almost all of the time I think.

Pretty rough looking 323 under the hood (wiring and cosmetics wise) but there sure was ample room for the ZE. Even looked like there was more room to spare than our engine bay. I should have taken a pic. Oh ya, I believe he had a volkswagen rad in there that was held on with tie straps. And a mighty fine tie strap job it was ... Mikey ...LOL
