That maniacal cackle is the best thing I've heard all day. That thing absolutely shouldn't be able to go that fast, and any sane person would've stopped a few thousand horsepower ago, but we're gonna keep going and see what happens.
Wow! It's kind of cool how much everything changed by that one little clearance issue. I'm sure it wasn't so cool for your wallet but now you have knowledge which is infinitely more valuable. Thank you for everything you do and the knowledge you share Steve! 👍💪
Always loved wagons since my first car was one that made a slow 13.98@98mph. Sure felt fast at 16yrs old, but Steve's always makes my jaw drop. Now that's a _real_ car
@@WowCreativeUsernamevs the number of mahindra and base kias and other nana cars sold in the millions since that 13.9 second pass, I think 10 %might be closer to accurate than you are thinking
@@vinny6_9100% brother. Social media and youtube has kids thinking everyone has a 10-12sec car. The reality is very few are around. If youre talking even 911 turboS then on the road even that isnt getting repeat late 10 to 11sec quarters i know that for a fact it doesnt and thats about the only car i know of that can actually do repeat launches on road and get the same results each time. The teslas we had and even the M5 comp (company cars i drove as dailys for 9 month each on PCP) wouldnt know how to launch and get the same result twice. The Teslas have a good traction control system as the polling rate is huge on electric motors but it was the easiest confused system of the lot if you hit a bump or on our UK B-roads, Teslas hate cambers too wheras the M5 comps driver aids were fine over bumps but just so random it was hard to trust the thing. They were all unreliable too even the TurboS it went through active engine mounts and the mounts above the gearbox as well as the front shocks losing dampening and the driver side front disc (front rotor in America) got warped and over the space of about 1200miles of which 200 of them i admit i drove the thing hard putting up with what in other cars have been acceptable levels of vibration, yet somehow it wrecked the entire suspension on that side bushes and all. People need to accept this is the reality of these so called "fast quarter mile production cars" They pretend they are 10-11sec cars because the electronics and gearboxes allow for a fast 8th. but they dont survive being treated like a genuine 10sec machine like a big motorbike. You can wreck a Tesla and M5 here in Scotland in about 3 weeks in not kidding
When you get more fluid into the converter it tightens it up. Pour in the power! Better tie that front-end down its only on the rear tires. There is way more in it... push it harder down low and get the driveshaft curves up. That thing is a beast!
@bigduphusaj162 so he was limited by the fluid entering the converter. So yes more fluid tightens it up. Yes read and understand before trying to talk about what you know nothing about!
That isn't great for the amount of hp getting put into play. We routinely put down sub 1 second 60ft with a N/A prostocker with one half the power the wagon has.
The amount of telemetry you have and pre-programmed stuff (e.g. protection limits) is jaw-dropping. I never knew so much went into a performance like this.
It realy something isn't it, I've only follow drag racing for 5 years or so, but I think the tech is moving very fast. I work in prduct devlopment at Ford, we have test vehciles with over a 100 telemetry points, but to see so many things monitored on a private vehicle using after market equipment is incredible.
The forces involved are mind blowing with something can can put out 5,000hp to the wheels, from an engineering and scientific perspective it's very impressive. Data for days!
Every time I see the Wagon leave the starting line, I hear 🎶 BABY GOT BACK 🎶 playing in my head. That girl checks out in a hurry for having so much rearend.
All i want to say is that i respect you even that much more getting to know you better. Your the best engine builder around by far, now watching you drive for the first time and in a station wagon is pretty cool. And with all that said is to hear you take time out to explain to everyone why and how everything is working together is even that much cooler. Look forward to watching you race for a long time!
I LOVE THIS STUFF ! Thanks for showing us great things don't just happen . . . hard work, patience, prevailing level heads, and time all have a place on the road to achieve these things. A box of cash, brains, and logical thought dont hurt !!
Congrats man!! All the work we've watched you do on the car lately, it really put a smile on my face seeing you do a killer pass and enjoying yourself. Keep it up Steve!!
Enjoyed your explanation of the surging you experienced when the turbos were trying to push too much air into the engine. I had watched a video earlier in the day about the SR 71 and issues they had with it during testing. Lockheed had the same sort of problem with their engines on the plane. They actually lost the first SR 71 during testing because this problem caused one of the engines to lose it's afterburner causing the plane to yaw. They solved it by putting in bleeders controlled by computers to alleviate the issue. Not saying that would work for you but thought the similarity was pretty cool.
I have been hunting time slip from early 90’s. All of them have turned into nothing. You are humping Dude! One of the last passes I made in a all metal door slammer was 4.025 at 205. At Lena Ihra drag strip in Mississippi! Keep it up! Can’t wait!
Steve, I love your channel. I learn so much. When using your computer, hold down alt and press tab. it switches between programs without clicking. Alt + shift+tab to go backwards through your open programs.
@SteveMorrisEngines Huge Conga Rats on breaking into the 2's WITH AUTHORITY! Steve, man, you are driving that car every foot of the way! So cool to be able to ride along! It seems to me, as a fan of racing, that maybe your rear suspension program needs to get a bit more dialed so you're not sawin' at that wheel all the way to the big end - it just WANTS to stay stright when the front wheels are up. The load on the rear end seems like it must be shifting from side to side acriss the rear axle housing like a see-saw. If you HAVE to set the front wheels down to steer it, your et will suffer more than thstbold 60 foot will, I figure. I'm pullin' for ya, pal! Say hey to the family and let 'em know they, too, are always in our prayers!
Would be interesting to have a strain gauge on the wheelie bar so you can see how much weight is transfering rearwards, then contrast with the ride height sensors.
Wow that go pro pass was bad ass I could tell how hard your car left and saw it caring the front end down the track! Very cool thanks Steve hope it goes faster on Saturday.
Congratulations brother! I saw an identical wagon to your's the other day and lost my mind. My friend thought i was loosing it. I jad to explain who you are and showed him a video, lol.
What amazes me, is the wireless mouse the Steve is using probably has more computing power than the computers that sent us to the moon! :) Thanks for the glimpse into the data analytics! Cool video man!
Great video SM---- But, makes me feel old @ 54 now.....10:10 onward.....amazing that that's the way it is now..... Because when I was racing (spraying) into the 10.90's ONLY 🤔🤣 back in the early EARLY 90's, mine & everyone's else's ONLY way in the pits @ 75--80 & Capitol raceway was 1) The way I felt my Mercury "Capri" was running & 2) Look at the plugs, and dump another set of jets smaller or bigger into the holley carb 🤔😁 I still have that Holley kit with like 30 different sizes in my box out there 😖👍
Glad to see the wagon back at the track. Over several of your videos you talked about the cost of your build, however seeing the software you're using I'm sure that's a serious investment in itself. Honestly I'm just a spectator but man you guys dump money to go fast. Thanks for sharing all the insight
@@j.sargent9172 That’s amazing bro, that is always something to aspire to and bring out other qualities that you may not know you had yet. Learn as much as you can to become the lead dog and the view forever changes.
Hope you get that perfect 1/4 run you deserve from all you hard work. Hope to see a 5 second wagon. Looking at your boost numbers if you start to add boost and blow the tires off maybe add ballast. Example: 500 more hp vs 200 lbs of ballast is a good trade. We know you have more power in that SMX. GL
So glad to see the car making full passes with no issues.. you definitely deserve it... Your commitment and dedication is impressive... God bless you sir...
10’s and 10’s and 10’s and more 10’s of thousands of dollars in the monster of a car………and got to love the 1$ bungee cord just along for the ride waving “hello” the whole time down the track…..😂 love it!
his proper tech vids he hasnt done in a while i wished he done the odd propper in detail one that he used to do. He has the better camera and editing and music and all that dialled in now so i think doing the odd older style in depth tech vid about one part of the engine would get loads of views now. Some of the motoring channels here in the UK and boat channels i watch have went back to doing the in depth vids the odd time and the newer ones seem to get loads of views as the editing and general vid quality is now up at a level it's a pleasure to watch. I watch spray painter vids a lot too as im a boat builder and marine mech now and the beatuiful close-ups and general high standard of editing they guys are getting these days makes it easy to watch even if its one you arent particularly that bothered about knowing at that point in time.
Congrats. Ive heard of people putting a wastegate on the intercooler pipe and holding it open while spooling to get around surge and spool faster then shut it when you get the required turbo shaft rpm for the desired boost level. May have to add a turbo speed sensor tho.
@@stevemorrisracing If your Bovs have a lower port you could get creative with the c02 and some solenoids to open the Bov instead of installing a wastegate.
I wonder if your converter was hanging up enough to hurt your e.t just that little bit... I bet it feels so good to have those issues solved and make that PB... Congratulations
Good to see Kyle and his Firebird out there. I have drooled over that thing ever since it was just getting fast enough to get kicked out of the local 1/8th mile!
For a man who doesn't care about horsepower on the dyno can sure put it to good use on the dragstrip. According to the data there is "lots left" in this family wagon with a deluxe interior.
Since you got the transmission convertor depth resolve , which was a education for me. I assumed your time would be better because i thought the engine was not blowing through the convertor.. ..At any rate interested information, congratulations on getting past that . Part of racing and development i guess . Enjoy the videos
Great great job another example of hard work paying off!!! You must be out of your mind proud!!! I would be, mostly Thanx for the distraction during harsh times way to Steve.
Taking about your boost surge. I’m not sure if you use wastegate PID control similar to motec, but maybe the feed forward in that particular area is too high. I know using motec. We can adjust the feed rate and decrease or increase in order to help hit target in that particular rpm range. If the feed is too high, it will surge like that bouncing boost. I use a full electronic gate on my car as well.
you can attend some of that compressor surge with camshaft revision, I think car would go faster with a camshaft that worked closer to 9500rpm given the turbo size, launch rpm would need to go up as well. I'd bet you could take out boost and go faster if the valvetrain saw more high rpm development. there's a shit ton of power waiting for you
That maniacal cackle is the best thing I've heard all day. That thing absolutely shouldn't be able to go that fast, and any sane person would've stopped a few thousand horsepower ago, but we're gonna keep going and see what happens.
