[TRRBOJEEP]

Question #1... do all Daytonas with the "power bulge" hoods have turbos?

Question #2... Is there someone on this board with a blue Daytona that lives in the Toledo Ohio area?

If so, you officially met "TRRBOJEEP" this morning. Have a nice day.

This guys car looked just like this from my rear view mirror. (on offence to all the Daytona drivers out there)

Have you ran that thing yet???? TRRBOJEEP

Not officially!
It went 14.8 @ 98mph on a friends G-tech meter. That was at 14psi with full exhaust, & before I installed the alky system.

well if the speed is right .."98" that should get you to around 13.8 . In my sundance at 15 psi it ran a 13.8 @ 99 GOOD LUCK MAN :thumb:

I'll be the first to admit when it comes to slam shifting and launching from a dead stop, I'm not the driver of choice! lol
The Jeep is probably knocking on 13's, if it had a driver that was. :bash:
It pulls out strong on the e-way in 4th & 5th gears though.

 

[Leafy]

When you're at the stoplight, do you race with the 4WD engaged?

Hehe, I bet you're 0-60 times are good! :thumb:

That would be cheatin!

Actually, I use 4WD (all wheel drive) when it's raining. (wet out)
In a good downpour it's practically unbeatable. lol

It will leave a C5 Vette like a Geo Metro in the rain! I've chapped quite a few drivers that way.

 

[FTT843]

you should slap 2wd stickers on the rear 1/4's to throw em off and just own em up

I hear ya.. my launches are downright horrible.

If I remeber correctly, the transfer cases aren't differentiated. Unless it's raining oil, I always thought this was an easy way to lock up your drivetrain.. ??

Maybe I'm wrong..

 

[Mowerpan]

Nope most of the newer vehicles have AUTO 4wd"AWD" as well as 4lo and 4 hi.

Actually you're right. When 4WD is engaged, both front & rear axles are locked together. There is very little risk of damaging anything though, unless you had tires of different sizes on each axle, or you're turning a lot of corners.

Wet roads, and making sure you're driving in a strait line is the ticket for using 4WD on the pavement.

Smokin' them!

There is very little risk of damaging anything though, unless you had tires of different sizes on each axle, or you're turning a lot of corners.

But think about it this way -

If you have 29" tires, front and rear, each has a circumference of 91.06". Front tires are in great shape.

If the rear tires have 1/8" of wear (which I'm sure they have atleast that ), that brings their circumfrence down to 90.275".

Hang with me...

The front tires will turn 695 times in one mile.

While the rears will turn 702 times.

This would place the tires 53 feet apart if they were rolled by hand!

I would figure up the force differential on the T-case chain, but have a headache already lol Anyways, the force is pretty strong Not to mention the backwards force on the front ring and pinion - since the tire's turning faster than it should.

Now, all that slack is taken up either in your transfer case or your tires. If the pavement is grippy enough, and your hauling a couple friends, that little aluminum, chain-driven NP231 may give up it's guts!

Don't mean to be a pest, just don't want you to hurt your jeep :thumb:
