Last summer I got only one run in on the turbo setup and that was a 13.00 @ 113. Finally got to the track again. It was about 70 degrees out and the track was gripping pretty good. Didnt change anything from last time except for traction bars which made a very big difference...felt more solid and less wheel hop. I left the DRs at 30psi and just spun them a little bit and launched around 1500-2000 rpms on all the runs.

1st run:
60'----2.085
1/4----12.817
MPH---112.03

Launched good but hit the limiter in third.

2nd run:
60'----2.151
1/4----12.929
MPH---113.28

3rd run:



Best time and trap, just bogged at the line a bit.


I decided to do one final run and launch a bit harder and I ended up with a 14.3 @ 97. Not sure what happend, I initially thought that I fried my clutch because it started to shoot to redline at the top of 1st, 2nd and 3rd and then I just backed off, I then put it in 4th and got on it some and it went right up to the limiter. There must have been something spilled on the track because the clutch was fine afterwards.

I got videos of the runs, they will be up as soon as I get a firewire cable.

 

congratulations on running in the 12's, not to mention thats a pretty healthy trap speed. Good job

 

unreal...what are your mods??

 

how is it unreal guy has turbo and 9lbs boost if im not mistaking it can be done

 

greats times, I knew with traction you would get there

but why not drop the psi on the dr's to around 20-25psi it will allow you to launch alot harder

 

Nice runs! For that trap there's more there yet but it will be in the launch/first half of the track.

 

I was just taking it easy so I can get a better feel on how it launches...next time out Ill launch a bit harder.

 

i dont think he meant unreal, as in fake...unreal as in 'amazing'

 

that's effin awesome!!

 

nice times.....

 

another 12s max...the list is growing i like it. great times BTW, but a little practice/harder launch and youll be even lower

 

remember to start your burnout in the waterbox, no repeats from last time

 

Wow nice work mang. What DRs are you on? Drop the pressure in them and start launching harder and you'll get even deeper in the 12s. You could probably hit a 12.4-12.5 or so with a really good launch.

 

Im running BFGs 255/50/16 on 7.5" wide 300zx wheels. I plan to go next week and Ill try lowering the pressure and launching a bit harder.

I have a CF trunk and aluminum bumper supports sitting around that I have to put on and I have to figure out some other ways to loose weight besides making it into a race car.

 

Good stuff. Get those vids up I'd like to see them. Are you running PFI or custom?

 

Im running a custom forward y-pipe...

 

You could get rear 8.5 wide TT wheels if they fit. 1 inch more contact patch...

 

Do you have the 300zx wheels all around or just in the front ?

 

All around.

I wanted to get the 8.5" wide ones, was just waiting to pick them up for cheap.

 

With a 1.90 60ft (which you should eventually be able to do on those tires), you should be good for a 12.50@114. I think Neal pulled a 1.9 on 17-inch 245 nittos.

30 psi is way too much BTW. These BFGs will handle 15-18 psi no problem.

 

you need to work on your r/t

 

Wasnt focusing on that at all really, just trying to get comfortable with my launching and lowering my 60' first.

 

agreed I have m/t dr's on my truck and I run them at 15-17psi

 

Wow, great times man. Congrats!

I am sure you even have better times coming w/ the great looking traps!

 

Good. Keep doing that. The RT has nothing to do with your ET. Just launch once the third yellow lights up, but dont pay too much attention to it. Its only important in bracket racing.

 

Yep unless your bracket racing dont worry about the r/t..on practice runs dont try for the .001 r/t just go when your ready. Nice times by the way!!! Cant wait to see the vid.

 

Heres the vids off my friends camera....

Good vids...

 

nice vids. looks like a pretty healthy trap speed you got there too.

 

Nice runs . Your car sounds sick.
Imo more traction & Spray low 12 high 11 1/4's

 

why would he want to add the complication of nitrous when he can just turn the boost up a pound or two with an appropriate tune?

 

Thats the plan to just turn the boost up a bit after I can get the appropriate electronics to tune.

I do still have my NX wet kit installed from before the turbo setup, but dont really need it.

 

Your right I didnt look at it that way
But.. its complicated period.
Say you increase the boost with tune.Then what is the purpose of nitrious when you have a turbo.?
It was a compliment aswell as ecouragement to shave his 1/4 time.

 

fantastic runs ! thanks for the vids..another 12 sec club member !

 

you should sell that wet kit.

 

hey theres a track to test your 1/4 mile times here in philly? where is this place? i'm so going there

 

and use the cash to buy stuff to tune with

 

well hopefully i'll be in the 12's at the end of june or mid july

 

Not bad man.

 

Jeeve dammit you bastard!!!! I still havent got a run in my max when its 100% healthy and now im getting the boosted 3.5 swap done in a week or so, so were gonna have to take this to atco when im done my swap. good trap speed and good times, now i have to outdo you, you know that right lol, see you soon.
