Phoon runs 11.16 @ 125mph

03XR6T · 20-03-2009, 02:15 PM

Hey guys,
This was my latest effort down at the Kwinana Motorplex last Wednesday. We'll be putting it back on the dyno before heading out again & chasing a 10!
This run was on 98 pump fuel in full standard trim. Will have a play with VP109 later down the track

Big thanks to Monsta Torque for all the work they've put into the car. They've handled everything on it including tuning & servicing...

Dean.

Nice job mate.

schnoods · 20-03-2009, 06:03 PM

Seen it there, absolutely flew.

Cant wait to see it down on a colder night, probably 1 run then the boot (for running a 10).

Most of the passes were under 11.5 that i saw too.

SpoolMan · 20-03-2009, 09:08 PM

Congrats on your PB, looking at the video and the timing board the 60 foot 1.89, what was the mid track time?

Xtreme F6 · 21-03-2009, 12:15 PM

Well done Dean, Good to see another F6 smoking Holdens.

Also good to see another Nizpro powered car showing them how its done.

Well done Rob ect, good job mate. We will have to get you into our next Ford V Holden drag we are planning. Only problem is if Deans willing to put a cage in or not. Once he runs a 10 he will be screwed.

03XR6T · 23-03-2009, 02:44 PM

Thanks guys, would love to run at any/all events i can but i don't think i'll be caging it. Removable half cage was on the cards but after some more consideration, i've pretty much decided not to compromise the integrity of the car just so i can run a few more times. Something else will be purchased & caged later in the year

03XR6T · 23-03-2009, 03:22 PM

Spoolman, Mid track time was 7.2xx from memory but i'll have to dig out the timeslip to be sure.

Corzza · 24-03-2009, 08:36 PM

Wow nice effort!

ADSXR8 · 24-03-2009, 08:52 PM

Well done mate. That is really motoring!

03XR6T · 25-03-2009, 01:55 PM

Thanks fellas

03XR6T · 26-03-2009, 12:30 PM

Great Time Dean, Did it cause any damage to the floorpan or was it all ok?

I guess thats why they get cranky about the loops, cars running the times are obviously making anough power to smash things. Good investments the loops.

I would think there was a good chance the the tail-shaft damage had already occurred on the start line, having seen so many tail-shafts twist in half before they get of the line...

justa6 · 26-03-2009, 10:08 PM

so do you have a loop at the front and the back

Kael · 26-03-2009, 10:41 PM

Nice time Dean. Bugger about the breakage but that's racing I spose :(

Now get back out there with a billet shaft & run faster! Haha

motorcycles4eva · 27-03-2009, 01:52 AM

well done mate.. awsome street ride..

03XR6T · 30-03-2009, 03:26 PM

Simon,
No damage to the floorpan but the fuel tank cover copped a bit of a hiding. No damage to the actual tank though fortunately. Exhaust & muffler also dented slightly.

Spoolman,
I agree 100% with you on that. The shaft would have been stressed to the point of twisting while sitting on the line, then when it launched & axle tramped it gave up & snapped the rear joint in 2! Ball bearings all over the track

:

Silverxr,
Only had a loop just behind the centre bearing (middle of shaft) so not front or rear. That's where Andra wanted it as most breakages that occur on 2 piece shafts are around the centre bearing.
After speaking with my tuner, we have decided to stick one at the rear incase this happens again, and possibly one up front as well. Overkill, but better to be safe than sorry imo.

Kael,
10's in the coming weeks! Just for you...

Motorcycles4eva,
Thanks for the comment. Sure is an awesome ride on the street!!

dalts · 30-03-2009, 08:55 PM

awesome work,good luck with the 10!!cooler weather coming up making it a big possibility

lee

**Sorted** · 30-03-2009, 09:16 PM

Thats Insane

well done - your doing Ford Proud

03XR6T · 31-03-2009, 12:58 PM

Thanks guys!
Have you been back out since the 10.85 Lee? That would have to be one of the quickest BA/F ute times wouldn't it??

Quicksand · 31-03-2009, 04:09 PM

Nice and cold tomorrow night! 23 during the day, 16 in the evening and 10 overnight!

40% humidity...mmmmm tasty dragging weather

03XR6T · 31-03-2009, 04:24 PM

If the car's ready i'll be there

I've told my tuner not to stress about getting it done as there's always next week... Will definitely be out there on 08/04!!

dalts · 01-04-2009, 06:34 PM

not yet dean, going back out on may the 2nd,hoping for a least a 10.7!!!it would be close to one of the quickest standard turbo pump fuel times,hopefully by then there will be a chill in the air.

lee

03XR6T · 01-04-2009, 06:52 PM

Nice work mate

Good luck with the 10.7 & hopefully you can grab the quickest ute title!

F6BF · 04-04-2009, 04:47 PM

Great time Dean
Are u going for a custom tailshaft or just wacking a stocky back in for now?

03XR6T · 07-04-2009, 05:44 PM

Modified stock rear half with stock centre bearing & rear cv mate... For the WA folk, Phil Purser from Final Drive Engineering is taking care of it.

03XR6T · 19-04-2009, 09:52 PM

Ran 11.010 @ 127mph last Friday night. Also ran a 130mph pass & 129mph pass during the night...

Big, big thanks to Rob & Brett from Monsta Torque! Tune was strong as buggery & is easily good for a 10 on a cooler night with fresh tyres.
Shows that you don't need to run on a private day to run good times at the Plex

Did you go to the private turbo day today Dean? They are a great way to get the car on the track when you are going sub 11 and dont want to fit loops, 4 point cage and harness............... for the occasional punter like me who does not want to ruin the carpet and floorpan.

It would be good to see how much better your car goes now that the Catalyitic converter has been removed and the car retuned to take advantage of the extra exhaust flow.

Is Brett full time at Monsta Torque now? I thought he would be just doing a bit of part time work considering how full his days must be holding down his 8-5 job around the corner.

No cat? Come down Wednesday & check under the car if you wish...
The only drag day on today was the Hi Tech Titles & i was there as a matter of fact. I was in the stands taking photo's as i had a few mates racing.
Yea Brett's still at WT as you know. Rob's also still working his 9-5 so this result is all the more impressive, huh? Two 'backyard' tuners who do this type of work in their R&R time are about to snag the record for quickest F6 in WA, possibly AUS & it is still unopened plus it utilises the factory turbocharger

:
I'm glad to see you're so interested in Monsta Torque & it's business. Means they are being noticed for their great work, even by their competitor workshops & said workshops customers!

Fair enough, I had been told that your Cat failed on Friday and that Monsta Torque had retuned it on Saturday so that you could go racing again at the private track day. I was expecting you to say you had run a 10 when you posted in here yesterday. I was misinformed I guess.

I would expect nothing less, Phil's result in his Bionic Auto was set years ago after about 12-15 passes with what would be considered "second rate" components by todays standards. Your car should be running faster (much) as you have access to more developed parts and you have done a LOT more passes, so it's an expected result............ 10.80's are a long way off, but you seem very keen and determined to get there. More power to you and good on ya.

However I am surprised that you call Monsta Torque "backyard" tuners. These guys must have some idea of what they are doing, and if I was either of them I would not like to be called a backyarder. Just beacuse they are part time does not mean that they dont put a lot of effort into their work.
