Going to the track today

[pr0]

I'm heading down to the track tonight. So all you auto n/t guys who think turboing your car isn't a good idea, I suggest you wait until I get back.

Wish me luck. I'm running 5 psi with no spare and undersized tires

Also do you have any suggestions for my battery tie down? My car's battery never came tied down and its a rule at the track. Last year I used zip ties but this year they aren't accepting that. haha

Autozone has batery tie downs.

Good luck, but unfortunatly at 5psi with an A/T, Im not seeing anything better than a 15 in the 1/4 for your future.

Prove me wrong.

Yea 15s are good enough, hopefully I can break into the 14s if im lucky. When I get the intercooler I'll crank the boost up to 8 psi and hopefully get into the low 14s.

man my stock clutch sucked so bad that even though my fuel system would support 11 psi
it still took me 15 seconds to get down the track
but my speed was almost 100mph


clutch slipped all the way through 1st, then spun all the way through second and finally hooked up in 3rd
and i still caught up with and passed the supra i was beside

good times

I live my life a quarter-pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, im free. I need FRIESSSS! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and i need them tonight. Youre lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didnt blow a seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, its like this. If i lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if i win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, thats more important.

i dont know if i should laugh or cry

Well, the auto let me down. First gear was always horrible, I kept loosing to every damn car I raced. Best run was 15.7 @ 82 (first run). I wasn't even ready. haha.

Last run was a 18.6 @ 74 , I don't know really know why. It felt like it took forever for the boost to kick in and when it did, it felt like nothing. I power braked and everything.

This was all untuned. I'll post the time slips tomorrow. Also when I floored it, it was slower than gradually opening the throttle...

Sorry to hear your Auto tranny let you down. Should get a tranny cooler. I wish i could go to a track dont know any around me.

 

[pr0]

Well im going to dyno once I get a little bit more money hopefully this week, I think I might be running too rich. I want to run again next Friday.

Also do any of you guys have any launching tips? I'm so confused why my times were so unconstant and my R/T on the 15.7 was a shitty 1.1! All my other runs had better R/Ts like .466 with crappier results. wtf. The car seems so damn slow anywhere below 4k rpms.

4500rpm stall converter

Thanks DSM-ZERO, yea I was looking at that IPT stall converter anyway, what does it do exactly? ... When it comes to the tranny its all kind of a blur to me.

 

[DSM-ZERO]

it will let you launch from 4500rpm in Drive you will also build boost too
I dont know if you want to launch at 4500rpm you might want to be a little bit higher

 

[pr0]

Nice... how does that work though?

 

[DSM-ZERO]

either a button
or
by tapping the gas pedal
it deponds on how you want it to turn on
I would also sugest getting new valve bodies
