A few days....it's been years :)You can follow my car atwww.facebook.com/RacingFTO

Is this list still up to date? Guess I need to run a little quicker than my 8.85 to get into the top 50 :)

For those that didnt see it on the other thread

Not too shabby for a 20 year old Mitsubishi FTO :)

Has anyone mated up a GM 4T65 (-E-HD) up to a 4g63 for FWD drag racing?

Its IRS

Its already got them, we normally do a 1.50 60' which is one of the best in the country, that weekend we were launching at 7500 and 1.5 bar of boost and couldnt get enough power in to overcome the tyre shake.

Here is a little compilation of the weekends 2 runs, the 60' times were bad at 1.75 (normally doing 1.50's) but the terminals are right up there for an 8.6-7 passhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWkjOdITYsU

What calculator do you use?

Tyres are dead after about 20 passes.

Thanks. I run 1.53 to 1.55 in the 60' on the M&Hs

What 60' times are you running on them?

Slicks

M&H 26x10s on 15s

So whats everyone's targets for 2014?

For those on Facebook I've set up a page dedicated to the 8s FWD Mitsubishi FTO. https://www.facebook.com/RacingFTO

and heres the roof that the Honda boys will love :)

50kg is around 0.1sec

New exhaust cam and new larger turbo

Currently the fastest FWD in the UK running 8.999s @ 164mph

what gear ratios do you guys have and whats your standard rev limit?

Yeah 10 wide m&h are the way to go running 6psi and 3rd gear burnouts

I run a 26 as well

Thanks, we are changing the turbo this year, which will mean more power and quicker times hopefully :)

Well this weekend topped off a massive year for us, becoming the first 8’s FWD car in the UK. It’s taken a lot of effort, development, late nights, long weekends, sweat, blood and tears to do it but finally became the first FWD to get in to the 8’s.The UK's First 8's FWD quarter mile -...

Im thinking about closing the front pumper off totally on my car and adding a couple of fans to the intercooler to keep the intake temps down. I only use it for drag racing.What are peoples thoughts, would this work, anyone tried it?

I've updated my details several times but still not appearing on the FWD Drag TimesDSM 1/4 Mile Times - FWD

I had 7" rims with 10" tyres and couldnt get below 1.69's swapped rims to 10" and started running 1.54, 1.55, 1.56'sso yes it will help a lot.

That run was a little deceptive, as it was a crap 60'. I normally do a 3rd gear burnout and get 1.5's but due to technical difficulties I had to do a 2nd gear burnout. I launch at 7500rpm with 1 bar boost. as youve put its a combination of all the things youve listed. Theres no silver bullet you...

Yeah 1.64 I have done 1.54s

4g63 head and a GTX4294R turbo.

4g64 transplanted into it.

For those that didnt see the other power we finally did it and broke the UK FWD Record with a 9.322 @ 165.45 into a 20mph head wind.New UK FWD Record from a Mitsubishi FTO 9.322 @ 165.45 - YouTube

Thanks, I think theres a lot more to come from this.

Well the FTO finally did it and broke the UK FWD Record with a 9.322 @ 165.45 into a 20mph head wind.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGNG3d5c7vY

I tried them on a FWD and hooked up better without them.

its a 4g64, quite an easy conversion.60' times are currently in the the 1.5's but need to get them lower still.

New PB from the weekend of 9.46864 @ 159.56 mphMitsubishi FTO running a 9.46864 @ 159 56 - YouTube

26x10s and I do a 3rd gear burnout. 1.5's 60' and 9.55@158 just need more now :)

So interesting conversation has anyone compared launching at high revs with low boost, compared to low revs with high boost ?For example :-On my manual I've always launched between 7300 - 7700 with 5-7psi and can pull 1.5x - 60' timeskiggly on his auto recommends 4700rpm with...

Heres a slow motion video of the 9.5505 runFTO running a 9.550s in slow motion - YouTube

It was easier than we thought to be honest. Originally it had a 200bhp V6 in it, and we are running a Garrett GTX4294R

Thanks I already have boost by gear by rpm so I already have a good control over what boost I pull when but Traction control should help even further.

now down to a 9.55@160 - http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drag-strip/466394-9-55-160-fwd-mitsubishi-fto.html

I've got my PB down to a 9.55 at 160mph not too shabby for a FWD, but talking to a lot of the fast *cough* Honda FWD cars they all run traction control, most on Motec. So does anyone run traction control, if so what type and how do you find it? what difference has it made to your times?

its a 2.37l long rod 4g64 engine dyno'd at 957 BHP 750 lbft @ 2.8 Bar we run a PPG 1-4 EVO drag box modified to run FWD using a custom quaife LSD. D2 coilovers MT 26x10x15 Drag slicksmy 60's were down this weekend only 1.6132 my 1/8th was 6.3962 @ 121.58. I have run faster 1/8th and at...

The record in the UK for a FWD car is 9.4542 held by a Honda so thats my next target.

Well we finally made it. A 9's FTO :) Here are 3 of the runs from the weekendWe started off the trailer with a 9.9@155 9 9 second FTO @155mph - YouTubeThen a 9.7@156 9.7 second FTO @156mph - YouTubeThe next run we missed 4th gear so dipped the clutch and cruised over the line...
