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?

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

Icing on the cake !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...

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

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

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

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...

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?

Well another great weekend, and very consistent and another PB.9.550 @ 158 9 550 @ 158 - YouTube9.555 @ 157 9 555 @ 157 - YouTube9.556 @ 160 9 559 @160 - YouTube

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...

I need to be able to pre-stage, build the boost up and let it pull forward into full stage. The problem I have is the triple plate clutch is on/off and the handbrake wont stop the car if the wheels start moving (it does hold it if the wheels are stationary) I could do the conventional hydraulic...

Do any of the FWD guys use staging brakes?I was thinking about using one on the front wheels so I could pre-load the trans more, but then that wouldn't pre-load the tyres (sorry tires)I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Guys, I'm sure this has been covered a millions times before, and I apologise, but I'm interested in hearing from people who are pulling 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6 60' times in FWD DSM'sI was down the track last weekend and did a 10.45@142 but my 60' times are crap, on that run 1.87I've got...

finally got the engine dyno'd ready for this season.957bhp 750lb-ftthat should see me into the 9's at least :)YouTube - Mitsubishi FTO 4g64 Drag Engine

Guys I'm looking for a clutch and flywheel for my Drag Mitsubishi FTO that can handle at least 750lb-ft. We’ve put a 4g64 engine in running an FTO gearbox. The EVO I-III 7 bolt 225mm flywheel will mate up nicely so what I'm actually saying is I need a clutch and flywheel for an EVO I-III that...

Guys, I would be interested in hearing from anyone with experience of setting up fast FWD suspension for drag cars, I'm struggling with my 60' times. I can still pull a 10.554@136mph but I only have a 1.795 60'I runD2 coilovers with 22kg/mm rear and 6kg/mm front I've just uprated the...
