Second time out...not too bad for a t-25 i think...

[FlaToUt-GST]

My previous PB was a 14.8@95, with a shitty 2.35 60'. This time i ran a 14.7@98 with an even worse 2.44 60'...yuck! I was talking to a pretty knowledgable guy and he said if i can lower the 60' to around 2.2 i'll see low 14's...o man tht would be great. But isn't 98 mph pretty decent for a t-25? What do you guys think? Also, i'm thinking of putting some DR's on my stockers to run up front at the track, will they help much? Thanks!

my 60' was 2.2 and I ran 14.53 @ 96mph and third ger sucked bad ( heat soak). I think 14.3 would be a pretty good goal.

 

[FlaToUt-GST]

yea 14.3 is what im hoping for. Did you do that on street tires? Any suspension mods? Nice run BTW what were ur perf mods at the time?

not to hate or anything... but... shouldnt u be seeing lower times since ur running the big28?

 

[CBgst]

That was on my t-25. My big 28 has only been in the car for 3 weeks now and hell yea that would be weak for a big 28. I'm going to the track in 2 weeks I'll let ya'll know what the big 28 does.


My mods for that run were
Filter w\adpter
mbc
uicp and 1st bov
EVO o2
Custom 3' exhaust o2 back
steet tires and 16psi

 

[CL MaNTis GST]

got me thinking i would never see low 14s.

i hit 14.51 with intake n exhaust alone (no cat). i just put in the brode UICP, greddy LICP, 1g bov, turbo inlet, and will run 17 psi on c16.

wonder what times i'll see

My best time on my ole T-25 was 13.8@101mph with a 2.104 60'.

thats exactly where i wanna be... 13s on my T25. What mods did you have on the car for this run??

Thanks!

 

[FlaToUt-GST]

101, dang that is fast for a t-25, please do share your mod list! There is a small chance i will be track bound tommorow, but most likely ill go next week. I might lower the pressure in my tires a little more, not quite sure. Would doing just a small burn before staging help any? I know its not the best for street tires, but maybe itll help a little. Thanks for the replys!

 

[CL MaNTis GST]

yea i dont know if i should let any tire pressure out.. since i have 18"s
they are slowing me down!!

i don't have the 13.8@101mph one on there, but theses are close enough.

 

[forcefed]

My mods were a stock turbo, stock downpipe, injen intake, apex n1 exhaust, greddy t.v.v.c boost controller, rre upper intercooler pipe, rre lower intercooler pipe, k&n airfilter, hks ss bov, i have about 21 psi in the tires, stock open diff, stock clutch.

I never had to do any burnouts on the stock tires, i had falken tires h-rated.

Wow...I ran a 2.26 60' with a 14.53 @ 96mph on the T-25. Thats a coincidence if I have ever seen one.

 

[FlaToUt-GST]

wow that is kinda wierd! And DAMN forcefed you have the same mods as me basically, i need to work on that launch! I am shopping ofr a big 16g right now tho, so my t-25 days are comming to an end !

If you get drag radials, don't get nittos if you plan on running on the track without all 4 prothane motor mounts in.

You could end like this:

[CL MaNTis GST]

hmm... what happen?

 

[DSMu4ia]

Wheelhop before motor mounts with the Nitto drag radials.

That was with front and rear ES mounts.

 

[FlaToUt-GST]

Dang tht looks like it sucked. I can control wheel hop pretty well tho. I guess things may be different with DR's. I think the ultimate mod is to practice my ass off and work on lowering my 60'. I should be heading to the track in a week so we will see!

 

[DSMu4ia]

Drag radials rule if you don't wheelhop with them. Remedy is all 4 prothane mounts. The NEW style isn't as harsh as the old ones, so not as much negatives either.

 

[CL MaNTis GST]

i dont know.. but i never have problems launching my FWD when street racing. yea i do spin but I manage to pull on most cars anyway.

but last night at the track... !!!!!! couldnt launch for sh!t!! I felt (knew) like people were lauching at me thinking I couldnt drive manual or something. GOD!!!!!!!!!

why is it so different at the track?!?!?!?!?

 

[DSMu4ia]

You can't hear your car as good at the track as you can on the street...especially lining up against big V8's. That was always my problem.

Even if I watched the RPM's, I couldn't do as well.

That's where the studderbox comes into play

 

[CL MaNTis GST]

i did a couple of passes by myself.... and i couldnt launch crap still! I usually launch around 3000rpm on street... and i was launching lower... like 2sum... at the track, till slipping clutch.

 

[larryd]

my best on the T25 was a 14.380 @ 99.75 with a crappy 2.428 60ft time.. that could been a 13 second run with a good launch.. i had T25 (18psi), Injen Intake, Greddy Upper & Lower IC Piping, Greddy S Type BOV, Apexi N1 Exhaust, Apexi Front Pipe & Cat Bypass, Magnecor 8.5mm Wires, NGK Plugs, Greddy Profec B Boost Controller at the time..
