Brian Rauchwarters GLH-Turbo

American 4cyl+6Cyl FWD Performance

1985 Dodge Omni GLH-Turbo, 14.64@90mph with minor mods

My GLH-Turbo has 132k on it, it ran ok when I got it but it wasn't very quick. At the same time I purchased another 85 GLH-T in rough condition for parts, lots of performance parts with that car. I replaced the logic module with an MP unit, cut the cat off and replaced with pipe, K+N panel filter, 803 injectors, added the Air/Fuel gauge and boost gauges, and a Momo shift knob. I raced the car on Oct 14th and 15th, these were the only mods, and I ran slicks. Here are my times from saturday and sunday: 


Saturday was "Fun Day", 95% of the cars are trailered in.

R/T       60ft        1/4 time and speed
--------------------------------------------------
.633---2.19---14.959@90.12

.810---2.13---14.890@90.66  first bracket, lost.

Sunday was Import Day, about 100-150 cars there, about 20 of them in the
14.50 bracket that I ran in. All the runs til the last 2 are time trials.

.501---2.16---14.948@89.07
.624---2.10---14.820@89.94
.567---2.15---14.769@90.71
.605---2.09---14.640@90.72
.658---2.13---14.766@91.18
.496---2.09---14.769@90.18
.877---2.17---14.911@90.16  took er a bit too easy at the lights! Won this race though.
.496---2.13---14.783@90.68  Big redeye, lost this round and out we go.



I'm very satisfied with my car, mid 14s basicly stock, now it's time for
some more boost, suspension mods, and other misc items I have laying around
just waiting for this car(underdrive pulley, ram air setup, AFPR). April is
the first race of the year, 13s should be easy at 13-14psi non intercooled,
intercooler purchase soon though too, but will wait to put it on til after I
break 13s the way it sits now.


 


 


 





I just ordered a boost controller from Dawes Devices and will be ordering a semi solid rear bobble strut, and installing a set of KYBs in the rear that I already have. With 14-15psi the plan is to run in the high 13s, no intercooler, then in the springtime after running in the 13s, then intercooling and going for 12s by the end of the year, on a stock TI.


E-mai me!
