New PB's Pump gas, little turbo, wrong wheel drive

[danl]

Went to the track last night for the last time this year. I had an issue with my injectors clogging on E85 so I swapped in a different set from my evo and decided to just run 93 octane. This was the only change from struggling to run 11.70's at 124 on E85. I got the hang of doing burnouts at this particular track which makes it difficult for a FWD to do them without tearing the axles out of the car. I extended my burnouts to what felt like 15 seconds but was probably only 10. The short times improved. Also the car was so very consistent that I again won at bracket racing tonight beating the field of moderately competitive mostly stock foot brake auto cars.

This is my best ET on 93 octane, best MPH on 93 octane, best half track MPH on 93 octane with any turbo at any track:
Run 6:
60 1.811
330 5.132
1/8 7.658
mph 100.26
1000 9.81
1/4 11.605
mph 126.22

This is my best 60' no matter what fuel, track, tire, turbo etc. but I picked up some knock in third and fourth and the ecu pulled timing and the car keeled over. It probably would have been my best ET as well as it was on a pass till about 500 feet down the track where it started to lean over.

Run 7:
60 1.788
330 5.093
1/8 7.648
mph 99.17
1000 9.840
1/4 11.660 mph 124.48


All in all pretty happy even though this isn't a 9 or 10 second car that everybody swoons over. Its simple, fun, cheap, easy to drive, and very reliable. With a little more work it'll go slightly faster. I think it has a couple MPH left in it and a little short time left on the table with better tires (mine are 2 years old and have too many runs on them). This year I get to put some stabil in the gas tank and drive it to my storage location instead of putting it up on jack stands .

Nice 60-foots, they could be a bit better with some 26x10.5. Keep working on it, im sure you can pull a high 10 out of it.

Race weight? Is your profile up to date (mod's wise)? 124mph is moving with a "16g". I assume your car is massively gutted (2400 lb range)

2700# with me in it, its a street car driven 60 miles to the track. My profile is probably not up to date. Also it went 126mph not 124

Very impressive only if cali had 93 oct

 

[e85_4g63]

Nice driving.. that's a mean "16g"

Nice numbers, especially for 93 octane! What intercooler? Stock intake manifold? I'm definitely looking forward to trying the HTA68 after I'm done with the 14b.

very good numbers on pump gas !!!! almost 10's on a simple setup ...love it

 

[fatt6903]

I like to see other awd take a peek at what where doing over here. 9s-10s next season!

 

[9!'clipseDOHC]

Awesome man! I think wrong wheel drive is the wrong mentality. You are tearing up most AWD's with those times. Keep it up!

Thanks guys.

The intercooler is a JMF FMIC that brent made for me. Charge temps are the same as ambient at all times in boost. I have done hot lapped passes with it and it mph's the same every pass. Its a really great part.
