Ran my car for the first time - see Video

Well, I finally ran it and here are the results. From my search on this forum, I didn't do too bad considering stock turbo, stock intercooler, street radials, and front wheel drive.

Hey great numbers for stock!

that's damn good man.. especially for FWD.. I wish i could be as good as that.. What's the technique in getting a good lauch for a fwd?

 

[funniegus]

That was pretty sweet.

 

[eagetal96]

nice run, looked like you had a bit a wheel hop there trying to warm those tires up though, just one of the many delights of FWD

Damn, nice ET and MPH for the T-25

Well, after 14 runs, I'm still trying to figure that out! I found that slipping the clutch and then getting out of first gear really quickly worked best for me.

Thanks guys-

do you redline 1st gear? or go 6600k? I want to know how far in the RPM's do you take it from 1st to 4th gear.. thanks man..

 

[siceclipse]

I always shift at 7000 when racing.

No way, not even close to redline in first gear. I shifted out of first at about 5000, then took it to about 6400 in the other gears. It just doesn't pull as hard after that, to the redline. It was more beneficial to get out of the gear quicker than to stay in it and pull to redline.

Damn nice driving. You must have that lil pinwheel of a turbo jsut about maxed.

Good job catbox I can't wait til it gets nice out here and the tracks open up

 

[andymoraitis]

That's a darn fine looking pass and the video makes me miss running at the track. I have to say that short shifting the car to keep the turbo in the spool range is just plain smart. Nice job on this one and if you can get those 60' times down a bit, you can carry an even better ET at the long end.

how much boost were you running?
sounds like open downipe

No, not yet. I joined a couple weeks ago, but haven't visited there much.

Thanks for all of the "good driving" compliments Iowaboostin', noz, BlackHalo, and other guys.

I am stock turbo'd and was trying to squeeze all the boost that thing would put out. It was SOOO unpredictable and inconsistent. For my best runs, it would spike to almost 20, then run at 16, then above 4500 rpm it would begin to fade off to like 13. I hate it.

I do not have an open downpipe. Just full 3" from the turbo-back with no cat.
