Glenn will get it back together in no time. I think he was more pleased that his new gearbox setup and clutch worked well.
Thats mint, 11.4 seconds with a dropped valve!
Rotten luck - shows its going to be possible to do on that setup tho!
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
For comparison my 144mph runs had 110mph at the 1/8th, so the C1J isn't a million miles off.
Rob, good advice
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?
you make c1j so good i have big respect for you man
Hard luck Chap - soooooooo close.
In the words of the Fast and the Furious
"Monica......................................Noooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Maybe at the Frog??
Now that would be something, got me fingers crossed for you.
Stotty.
hats off to both of you guys
what a run, makes me wanna stick with the c1j
better luck next time Glen, I can almost smell a 10sec pass there
smell a 10 no problem son car is nearlly done warning to people using metro turbo valves in there head dont there **** carnt take a little power
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.

good stuff matey :-) ... Now crack on ;-)
Wow Glen, stunning mate, Your so going to run a 10 next time out.
another new build just finished managed to do a new head with even bigger valves new pistons and new turbo so 10s here we come lol
when are you running next?
swift work mate, you dont hang around!
you got that 6262 billet on it? that would make the numbers alright
Thats the game mate, are you down at york this weekend??
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
good good
you know injector dynamics (bosch to you and me) do 725cc injectors now aswell,
all the cool kids are on high pressure fuel systems now
me and scoff just been out mapping car now pulling 35psi in 4 lolturned the gas on making more power again and my be at york mr b you coming with the van son

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).
