Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
Glenn will get it back together in no time. I think he was more pleased that his new gearbox setup and clutch worked well. :)

Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
Thats mint, 11.4 seconds with a dropped valve!
Rotten luck - shows its going to be possible to do on that setup tho!
-
Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
its quite common place in the honda world to drop a valve, they say heavy springs stretch the valves, and if you get them hot enough they fail. may be worth pulling a few valves out and measuring see if they any longer...
good job anyway guys, 103mph 1/8th is spot on for a high 10 :)
-
Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
For comparison my 144mph runs had 110mph at the 1/8th, so the C1J isn't a million miles off.
Rob, good advice :)

Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
i thought when they made valves, they welded the tulip onto the stalk. with the stronger springs they have more stress on them - more likely to break?
-
Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
you make c1j so good i have big respect for you man :agree:
-
Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
Hard luck Chap - soooooooo close.
In the words of the Fast and the Furious
"Monica......................................Noooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Correct, they are fused together, there is also different materials of stems out there.

Nope, the valve manufacturing plant I've been into forged the complete valve from 1 piece of material!

top advice son going to use bigger valves now :D10s are round the corner but the main thing is having the top c1j and a 11.0 good enought for me :laugh:

Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
hats off to both of you guys :agree:
what a run, makes me wanna stick with the c1j :eek:
better luck next time Glen, I can almost smell a 10sec pass there :agree:
-
Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
smell a 10 no problem son car is nearlly done warning to people using metro turbo valves in there head dont there **** :D:D:D:D:D:Dcarnt take a little power :crap:
-
Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
Did you use standard metro turbo valves or some aftermarket ones? The standards are two piece and have been known to break!
I know the mini will never hit a 10 but interesting to know. Awesome times as well good to see your car get faster every year.

I was just looking for the smallest Billet turbo they do the other day. lol :wasntme:
If you are running one now Glen I'd love t know how well it works off NOZ. :)

Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
The turbo specification remains the same, but bits of dead valve had smashed some blades off the turbine wheel so it needed changing. 6262, yeah right ;)

I just bought a set of ID850's and think they came in at just over £310 :eek:
Did you use that gearbox that I gave Specky for you? What was it like inside when you opened it up?
-
Re: Congrats to Glenn Hi5
yeah thats about the going rate, and ideally you need to match them up with the bosch 044 pump which can sustain a high pressure supply, (with a suitable high pressure regulator).
