[email protected], T25, very little mods

[TurboJimbo]

Not really due to so little mods done to the car...but it did do something

 

[streetdsmpwr]

I just noticed that you are still recirculating your BOV with speed density. Why?

 

[TurboJimbo]

Only cause I didn't have anything to cover the hole on the intake pipe

 

[ryan90tsiawd]

Having it recirculated like that is not a bad thing....In theory, it can help reduce lag in between shifts, but I doubt you would have to worry about lag with your turbo.

Thats what I thought.

Either way it is extremely impressive to see these times out of a T-25 car man. Keep us updated!

 

[Drifte]

Great read, just constantly seeing little things done and little improvements made. Keep up the good work, I like seeing people use what they have instead of slapping on a dozen of the baller parts.

...just a check in, see what you have planned this season..!

ive got the t25 itch, and opening day is 5 days! Im reaalllyyyy wanting to just break 13s,but i think i have a little bit more to do...

 

[JusMX141]

I honestly don't see a FWD breaking into the 13's with a T25 too easily....especially on an otherwise stock setup. The 60ft times are going to kill you.

I'd set the bar to have the highest MPH in your class- perhaps the fastest T25 FWD trap speed in a stock platform....that shows you can really drive and you know your car very, very well.

Right now I need to rebuild the trans, just waiting on the 4 spider center diff from Jacks Transmissions. Third gear started to grind so I decide to do the 4 spider diff and some EvoIII gears with double synchros.

I think I'm just gonna do a 1G non-turbo 60mm throttle body next, go to the track a couple more times and try to get as close to 13.0 as possible.

We'll see what happens.

Well good luck man. I have enjoyed following your progress.

 

[TurboJimbo]

Thanks dude

Went to an event today and ran a new personal best of [email protected] with a 1.723 sixty foot.

Since the last post, I rebuilt the trans with Evo III 3rd & 4th double synchros and a 4 spider center diff.

I also started preloading the car using the e-brake which helped get low 1.7 sixty foots all day and awesome .022, .040, and ,.071 reaction times

I hate to bump such an old thread, but this has become my goal to match your times. I just ran a 13.54@100mph with a 1.845 sixty foot on E85 (stock clutch) tonight and I was very happy. Trying to get ahold of an upgraded wastegate to hold more boost!

Awesome! I'm also currently in the process of taking my BigT25 to the limit. Waiting on SD, FP race mani, slicks, and shock/springs. You're officially 3rd on the ladder (no nos), if you post your time. I'm FWD however so maybe I can get the fastest fwd t25

Best of luck with it, let us know how it progresses!

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

I'm currently running a 14b but if I ever rebuild one of my 25s ill run it again. Idk about 1/4 mile I dont have one close but my best with the T25 fwd was a 9.9©69mph with 2.241 '60. Think that was like the fourth time I've ever dragged. I've done only around 15 passes ever .

Last time I ran on 14b I slipped the clutch and it didn't stop slipping till I shifted to third.

Anyone know the top 5 t25 ETs no nos?

Edit ^ 1/8th mile time. idk how to judge 1/4 by the 8th.

1.84 - 1.72 = .12

13.54 - .12 = 13.42, so you're definitely set to go faster than the 13.37 with a better launch as you've already posted a better trap speed.

Post the time to where? And what's a BigT25? Hopefully I can get back out to the strip once or twice this year.

Ya, definitely room for improvement in the launch. I'm getting consistent 1.8-1.9 sixty foots, just need to keep practicing. I don't think the stock clutch is helping matters either. The only think that changed since last time I was at the track was swapping to E85 and retuning. I picked up a full second just from that alone. I'm officially in love with E85

By the way, that Holset actuator we have laying around is an aftermarket Banks 43psi unit. Guess I won't be putting that on after all

 

[JusMX141]

Are you still using the clutch accumulator on your car? Anthony saw a huge improvement in his T25 time after deleting the accumulator....guess he was losing a lot at the start as well as between shifts.

Wanna trade?

Nope.

Wanna trade?

For a 17psi FP wastegate? Sure!

 

[JusMX141]

For a 17psi FP wastegate? Sure!

I meant for a custom-built direct-fit Holset adjustable actuator, but if you want FP-status I can't compete.

 

[turbosax2]

Perhaps I'll take you up on that offer if I can't find an FP one. I'll have my people call your people.

 

[Rikolas]

A few people were saying that he needs to work on his launch for his 60 foot time. It's at around a 1.8. Isn't that good? I can't seem to get mine below 2 seconds..

 

[JusMX141]

1.8 is a decent 60ft.

1.7 is pretty fast for someone that doesn't spend a lot of time at the track.

1.6 is about all you're going to get on street tires, even for a seasoned racer.

1.5 and faster is what a normal manual drag car with slicks should be seeing.

1.4 is considered pretty nasty, even for a drag car. You're going to be breaking axles and things pretty regularly if you're making a bunch of power while running slicks and cutting 1.4 60's.

1.3 is just plain ridiculous.

1.2 is too fast to comprehend.

I see
So my 2.2 60' time is garbage
I need some practice if I'm going to try and go for a good time. My goal by the end of this year is going to be a 1.8 for my 60'.
