Статьи на эту тему«10-секундные» машины из реального мира. Часть 1
Recall that the term «10-second» car came on television, and it is from the very first part of «Fast and the Furious» (Fast & Furious). As a result, this term meaning the passage of «Quarters», has become a kind of measure and want the speed, especially the young generation, ordering dregovuyu car at the specialized tuning workshops are often exactly what they say — «I want a 10-second wheelbarrow». 
Journalists and two HotRod Car Craft publications decided to «complicate selection» and set out to — as far as the budget is possible to build such a machine, and if it can also be used in everyday life. They threw a cry, which responded to many enthusiasts. All of them gathered on a kind of track day at the drag strip, located on the famous oval track California Speedway, in Fontana.
Mysterious Maverick …
About this «crumb» Ford Maverick went true legend, just like in a more classical, but less famous film about the «ghost racer» — «Spirit of Vengeance» (The Wraith). More than once heard the story of the mysterious frosted the Ford, in the same tone with tinted glasses, wearing a wildly through the deserted roads in northern Los Angeles County. Home piquancy was that driving a car was like a young lady, «never to raise the foot off the accelerator, regardless of the steepness of the rotation or angle to the longitudinal axis of the road is a car.»
Perhaps the biggest surprise for our overseas counterparts was the arrival at the track the day of the Ford, which is owned by a family couple James and Tess Desrat.
The main thing is that this 1973’Maverick was built on the very limited funding, being, so to speak, a «super-budget». Its author is James himself, who was eloquent the nickname «Turbo» but leads him, and in a literal sense in everyday life, not just his wife Tess. In reality, James said he was building a car to order, but at the last moment the customer «fell off», while leaving it in the possession of the master free. It is obvious that the money spent on the construction of the Ford, was really minimal. Nevertheless, the «turbo» has fashioned the «lighter».
Under the hood of the compact coupe Desrat set classic Ford 302 used commonly in the Mustang-ah, built on the Fox platform. In view of the «budget», to the left block all the drain, but on top of the head, he set new Trick Flow 170, as well as the timing mechanism for the same firm.
The rest of this «gentleman» set of air intake from Victor Jr, carburetor Holley 750 Double Pumper, which has been modified by Kevin at Carburetor Solutions Unlimited company’s intake manifold.
Finally a 5-liter volume helps intensively filled with a combustible mixture compressor S-Trim from Vortech. The boost pressure is not so great 8 psi, that is about 0.5 atmosphere. Perhaps that is why James could be used instead of the usual intercooler nitrous oxide. It is injected directly into the intake manifold of the compressor. Given the extremely low temperature of the gas in the tank, this is enough to act as a chemical mixture cooler.

… And his dashing nurse Tess
For the ignition is responsible programmable «smart box» 6AL2 production of MSD, regulating the ignition, depending on the boost pressure, which in its turn can be controlled by MAP sensor. Engine Limitator set to 7400 rpm, and says Tess, it usually switches to around 7200. It is interesting that the fuel «shakes» completely mechanical pump Holley. James exhaust system «riveted» itself, using mainly aluminum, saying that in this way compared to the usual steel, he saved more than 25 kg. Above this figure can be questioned, but leave it on the assurance of conscience master …
The building of transmission C4 Desrat entrusted with Darren James from ProTrans, which «conjured» by installing the converter, triggered by 4.5 thousand revolutions. Behind equipped with a standard 8-inch rear axle the Ford, which remained stock axis and the main transfer 4.11: 1, also with a fully serial differential.
But over suspension James still worked harder. So back he found more suitable for drag «Willy» half-mono-leaf spring Calvert Racing, Cal Tracs traction and adjustable dampers. And the most interesting thing — power.
On the dynamometer Maverick showed almost 600 hp, and Tess, which displays it on the drag strip, as it is able to pass a 1/8 mile of 6.58 seconds, showing 105 miles per hour on the strip. At the bottom of the track on the «quarter» she consistently showed about 11 seconds. However, the machine easily enters the cherished «10-sec», whereas in this day, it was clear that the engine deforsed. The reason is simple — Tess goes on the machine to work. And the cabin is clear that this is really an ordinary everyday unprepossessing machine, but not manufactured by the show and for «showing off» hot-rod …
Speaking of work. If being a self-taught mechanic, James worked as a chief mechanic at Lancaster Sierra Toyota station, Tess on weekdays (and not only) nurse-nurse the elderly. The most interesting thing is that periodically the work she has to carry those for whom it is watching and knows the story of where she was seriously scared a little old lady 93 years old, rolling it with a breeze to play Bingo. «Her eyes were closed all the way!» — Laughing Tess. At the same time her husband assures that many pensioners in reality very much like such a walk with the wind …

An incredible little family …
No, not Adams, but Lopez. This is a family headed by his son Joe and Joanna and Joshua. Sam Lopez Joe chases at California «strips» more than a dozen years and is well known in these circles. It is therefore not surprising that in the footsteps of Lopez Sr. gone and his children inherited the passion and enthusiasm for speed and mechanics. It is obvious that it has passed and unique sense of style, as well as a reverence for «butterfly» Chevrolet. How else to explain a little bit and «charged» Lopez family fleet consisting exclusively of Chevy?
Every day, Joe drives a very homely Malibu wagon 1979 year. However, this «case» is only one of the nine machines only in the personal garage of head of the family … Joshua, who turned 25, as befits a young man, «dissecting» on 1972’Camaro, natural — yellow. His younger sister, Joanne, was born two years later, also riding on the Camaro, but the 1971 year. And she had it black.
Joe says that he bought the Malibu is not so cheap — for $ 1,800, while it was only on the chassis, even «on the go». He found under the hood of the Chevy 350 classic wagon, in which the compression was raised to 11.1: 1.
Top mounted head World Products, the valve that leads to action cam IskyMega 280. As DeSrat, Lopez used the intake and carburetor Victor Jr Holley 600. The transmission is the same classic — TH350 with the converter that is activated by 3.5 thousand. Behind installed native 7.5-inch axle with a pair of 4.65: 1 and differential Eaton.
The rest of this machine is now the embodiment of the Budget. Revelation and unsightly void under the hood and interior echoes the Malibu, opening the eyes is not what would be austerity, but rather a kind of frank «second-hand» — which is only worn leaky velor seat, not to mention the panels and the steering wheel …
But at the beginning of the material mentioned — it would be a real machines intended equally for the drag strip, and public roads, built on the «penny» and not for «de loin» on the quarter or at the show and exhibitions. But next to the seat, you can discover the «bottle» nitrous oxide, which adds about 150 hp, with which it produces a full-size station wagon to «quarter» about 11 seconds. Yes, it is not cherished, «the 10-sec», but I think this «suitcase» such a slow forgivable.

… And Camaro
Apparently, 71’Camaro became almost the first car in my life still quite young Joanna. At least we know that he was her everyday car for a few years until she studied first in college and then to the University of LaVerne city. Moreover, in this case, under the hood is a bore to 383 inches Chevy. However, taking into account almost 6.3 liters of displacement, the engine was quite derated — all compression 8.0: 1. But then installed supercharger Weiand, plus a sports camshaft by American Cam, similar to Isky 305.
In this case, Joe worked seriously and with a «filling» block: the crankshaft and connecting rods Eagle, plus Probe forged pistons. Heads of ProComp, and have modified them on Larry’s Performance in Montebello, California.
On top of a huge air filter installed carburetor Holley 750 HP, which is also modified in The Carb Shop. Obviously, the car for my daughter Joe Lopez paid a lot more attention, and resources than their own the Malibu, but who knows — what else 8 «languishing» cars in his garage.
So for better control of torque on the machine are thrust CalTracs, controlling the galloping effect at the start, whereas all the «corners» is not installed low «rack» Koni. All with the same transmission TH350, and the drain is fully 12-bolt rear axle, the machine shows to «quarter» 11.5 seconds, but the assurances of Joe, he does not want to work on improving times. And it is quite possible, since the machine is entirely sink in everything else — any relief, except for «Fiber-glass» hood, which is probably needed to feed air compressor, and of beauty, too, after all we are talking about the car for the girls.
But who said that her older brother has to go to the unattractive Camaro? His 72th Josh built himself, though not without the help of his father.
He wasted to 406 inches usual «Small-block» 400, thus bringing it to a working volume of 6.6 liters.
Inside is now set crankshaft and connecting rods Scat, which employ Probe pistons, head of ProComp and habitual Isky camshaft. And Josh does not shy fats — compression of the already not very low-volume engine was raised to 10.1: 1, plus it also uses «oxide». At the same time in all the rest, including the interior door with ancient maps, manual windows and «climate» comparable to the classic «penny», the Camaro remained fully the drain.
This applies to the «bottom», where they remained TH350 transmission, 10-bolt axle 3.73: 1 and is not modified suspension. Above them, the younger Lopez is planning to work more, but later. If frankly not the best «holding» the web, it is easy Camaro goes from 12 seconds, but it is.

As without Mustang-s?
Of course, where there is the Camaro, could not do without the other classic — Mustang. And those on the track day gathered a lot. Among them, in addition to openly nifty «Gypsy» appeared in the first part, stood a couple of far more modest (and budget), but by no means slow, «stallions» more old Fox platform.
This white horse belongs Lalo Mojarro, with its standard 302 was enhanced by two turbines. This 5-litre completely moved and fitted with new heads Trick Flow, while the «pumped» his two 72-mm Turbonetics turbine. Above the transmission there is also a lot of job: a relatively small 3.2 converter installed in Continental Powerglide from Mike’s Transmission, plus a 8.8-inch «Ford» rear axle.
Naturally, Lalo does not go back on these «rinks» in the streets, which are necessary only for the drag strip. No joke, but with two turbines that Mustang easily goes to «quarter» of 10 seconds, and even track the bottom, which in general, is intended solely for the friendly ride and pleasure, and not competition, Mojarro without straining revealed 9.22 seconds and 121 mph on the strip.
However, if we compare these figures with the figures of the same «Gypsy» in 9.29 and 143 m in the hours that weighs much more than that «old man», it can be assumed that they, along with Lalo can confidently out of the 9 seconds. Here again, we are talking about a machine that is used as a «roving», as eloquently says its interior, having even a fully functional passenger seat.
Another «stallion» contrasting black owned Fortino Sanchez. The highlight of his 91’Mustang is «Engin-swap». Instead of «pony-Power» here under the hood mounted 6-liter LS, also equipped with a turbine. Moreover, we are talking about a budget track LY6 engine from a pickup Chevy2500 2008 model year. Sanchez still slightly modified the «heart», reinforcing its camshaft and valve springs of a sports LS9.
By the engine Fortino added b / 80 mm turbine Gerrett, and all the necessary connections, he fashioned himself, taking cheap collectors from the good old LS1, adding intercooler CSX Racing. Remaking runoff «brains» were engaged in Izzy Performance. They combined GM computer with the «software» of HP Tuners, and the controller of the turbine Turbosmart e-Boost2, allows you to adjust the boost level, depending on the stage of the acceleration of the machine.
Steve Sharpe helped sort out the usual TH350 transmission, which is now working on the Continental Converter 3.5 thousand rpm, while torque is transmitted on the 8.8-inch rear axle, which is implanted in the powerful 35-spline Strange half-line and the main pair of 3.31: 1. The front suspension has been completely replaced by AJE Racing, while the back has extra long arms and powerful UPR «coilovers» Viking.
Naturally, with such a much more profound level of refinement than that of many other members of the track of the day, it is not surprising that Sanchez flashed 9 seconds and 151 miles. Furthermore, it is aimed to leave them regularly. However, Fortino regularly comes to the competition at the wheel of the same car instead of transporting it to the carriage. However, like many, many hundreds and even thousands of these same fans speed these guys and girls, of which only one of California’s enough to other European countries put together.
