ArcticTsi Runs 12.1 @ 111.94, stock 14b!

[CanadianTSi]

He runs 18's

 

[2GDSM]

, duh, bad one on my part...

 

[ArcticTsi]

wouldnt that .477 R/T give you an automatic loss?

Yea in competition eliminations. But it also depends on the tree or the track. My local track instead of reflecting a .500 or a .400 for the pro or sportmans setups they have theirs to show zero. Basically on my local track's tree a perfect reaction is a .000 where at some tracks theirs shows a .400 or a .500 as a perfect reaction depending on what tree you are using. So in the case of this brand new track, I do not know what they were running that night, I know it is a sportmens setup they ran that night because of the intervals between the amber lights dropping, you can see it in the video. Even if you look at the video I took it slow out of the hole, the light looks green for ages before I slam the hammer.

Very nice time bro. So very close to 11s.

Yup, I hope to make one more trip to the quarter before I put the car back in storage again. If I hit an 11 that would be an awesome note to store the car on.

yeah just dont forget to video it for us

Of course, Hopefully when I do it it is a nice solid 11, cause when I first broke into the 12's it was a 12.998. But then to be so stock engine wise and being a heavy AWD talon as oppossed to the FWD lite-weight advantage I'll Take any 11 I can muster.

Dude, even us lighter FWD guys would take any 11sec 1/4 time we could get.

I hear you but, If you look at the 14b cars that have been tearing up the 11's lately it has been the mad gutted FWD's. Which is all good but, That is weight That I will be hard pressed to make up for. But I will have 11's next time out, not nearly as deep as Leon has been running but in the 11's none the less. Then I'll put the car in storage while I go off to complete another overseas tour.

Thats impressive. Do you use a wide band or stock O2 sensor?

Thanks,

I have an OEM O2 sensor. Other than the MAF-T I do not have an other electronics other than a modded A/F meter the help me properly ready my O2's at WOT.

 

[ArcticTsi]

..that is a nice run!!!! Many of you guys are catchin up or passin me!!! hehe....the 14b rules.....


Phil1320

I trully hope you make it to the 11's before me. When did you say your last outing on the 14b? My brother is going to be down in my neck of the woods either this weekend or next weekend. he Is trying to convince me to take the car to the 1/4 while he is here. So I dont know yet. But last time he came down I shaved a little over a tenth on my best ET I had at the time, something about family watching that makes you try harder. So we'll see. I may even give Leon's door trick a try, something I have already been contemplating for some time.

You have to do it this time Phil. Just so you can chalk it up to mission accomplished.

Jose' es muy macho!

 

[GSntncT]

God, I never knew the 14b could support those kinds of runs.....It has to make you think why many of us have gone with 50 trims, or even larger turbos.

 

[HighPSI TSi Guy]

God, I never knew the 14b could support those kinds of runs.....It has to make you think why many of us have gone with 50 trims, or even larger turbos.

so that we can be fast...

look at 50 trim times.. and look at 14b times...

a well tuned well driven 50 trim setup will run that on low boost and pump gas full weight.... they had to go on a diet and pay $8/ gallon to run those times... we fill up at the amoco and trap jsut as fast/faster

however it's still amaizing to see these guys get what they are out of the little guy

 

[Phil1320]

Jose-- I don't race until Friday May 21st, I'm not to worried about hitting 11's before you, if you do, that's great, I hope you do it, no biggie. It would be cool to see another AWD 14b bang out 11's. I truly don't know if I will hit them or not, it's toss up. I will say, that if I do not dip into the 11's, the 14b will get shelved finally. As I have said elsewhere, I have run the car now for 7.5 yeasr without the turbo ever coming off. So, good luck hittin the 11. I just actually took the Talon for a rip after fixing the manifold leaks....all seems well.

Oh yeah, I'm not doin that to my doors, but if I found a set like you guys I might......thats some huge weight reduction...

Whoa Whoa Whoa, easy does it dave, i recall matching your .50trim pumpgas time with my 14b pumpgas time with most full interior and wasn't much difference. Can't let that kinda talk leak on a 14b thread. But yeah the .50trim is CAPABLE of quick pumpgas times while a full weight dsm will max around mid 12's on pumpgas 14b.
Phil, Don't forget the Liquid Wrench ahead of time when it comes time to pull off the 14b

ArticTsi what do you like your 02s to be around?

[Phil1320]

Yeah...PB blaster is the way to go....one of the turbo bolts got chewed, but the turbine housing was fine after running a tap through it.....it's all done....both broken studs are removed from the head...they came out real easy with an easy out set. So, I should have no exhaust leaks now. I will dyno this Friday night pending no rain...going to get VP fuel this week. I'm hoping for 290-295HP and 275-280lb-ft. I dynoed and ran last time with boost set at 21 dropping to 18 or so. Didn't you dyno at 24 or something? I don't know if I will gain or not at that boost. Way back at Altered I was 257hp at 19psi, 263 at 20 psi, and 265.9 at 21. I didn't go any higher, of course I had stock injectors and no AFC at the time. I'll post the numbers if they are worth posting. Remember my last outing was 284.7hp at 5950rpm and 271lb.-ft. at 3450rpm. Those are the numbers to beat. We will see.

ps-picked up the Laser this past weekend..... ....now I remember why I loved that thing so much!

and that hp is with the 14b? if so WHOA DUDE!!!

mucha gracia compadre

Phil1320

Doesnt look like I'm doing the doors before my next pass. Hopefully raising the boost and actually getting a few passes at the track will be enough to get me in the 11's. Might be heading to the track as early as this weekend. Hopefully all the planets are aligned for me. Fingers crossed if I do make it out.

Phil1320

I just found out that I to have an exhaust leak. But mine is on the number 4 runner of the exhaust manny. I must have even had it when I ran 12.1, yikes. I'll try to have a temp fix for the weekend if I do get to race. Phil, hopefully that exhaust leak will be enough to make up the .000000009 you had last time

I dont reccomend my 02 tuning technique to everyone, you have to be really in tune with your car to know what will work and what will not. Because if you dont do it right you can hve catastrophic consequences. With that disclaimer added I tune for:

@ Wid-Open Throttle(WOT) I aim for .85 volts @ 22lbs of boost running leaded 112 race fuel.

ArcticTsi

 

[Phil1320]

Royalty--yes, just about 285hp and 271 tq on the 14b at 21psi dropping to as low as 18 or so. Hopefully the fluctuation is due to the exhaust leaks, but, it could be the actuator or just the turbo itself. We'll see. I will post up here in tuning talk after I dyno tomorrow night.

Jose--my exhaust leaks were at cylinder #1-2 area....lead would actually be on the head from the race gas--it was a bad leak....I also had a small leak between the turbo and manifold...so I ditched the steel gasket and went to the EVO gasket and I think that problem is solved as well. That's funny...the .00000000009 that I need.... :laugh:


I hope it goes well. Let me know how it goes with you and good luck. I just don't want to make any false predictions for myself, I have never done that, only speculated. Next Friday is the day for me, I have from 10 am to 4pm to run. I have not raced the car since last year and it always takes me a while to get in my groove.
