how much boost are you seeing? You need to work on your launching and get your 60' below 2secs.

gz91rx7

in first I am running about 8 psi then in 2nd and 3rd 10 psi

Roy James

um.. you should be WAY faster than that.... WAY. Practice your luanches man, that'll help so much you wont believe it. Your MPH is too high for that ET which tells us that your car is good for some mid 13s i would guess with a good launch and "shift mad quik yo!" or some **** like that.

WHAT!!!!! I dont have half that **** and my car is way faster.You need do something.you are a little faster than a stock honda.A LITTLE!!!Do you have an egt or a boost gauge.How do you have your fuel set .timming,there now we have a start look at these things, but man you should be faster than that.why are you at 8 psi ?With the stuff you have you should be scary fast.

97mph....low 14s...maybe high 13s if you are hooking very hard. I'd start looking for some problems.

On a side note..my n/a FC ran a 15.1@95mph with bad 60ft times.

my car ran 13.7 @100mph with 1.92 60FT with similar mods and low compression. i think you just need alot more practice. OR bring your car to me and i'll drive it to 13 second times

gz91rx7

LOL I actually wanted to go out there! I got a buddie who lives out there and his 91 na is at the shop your 3rd is at! He is getting it swapped ofr a 5 speed and some porting work done! If I go I will bring the 7!!!

95R2-89TII Ground Zero

I can't believe that at all Josh. I was thinking that when you didn't want to tell me the time you ran, it was cause you thought you had a shot at the third. I would say that practice is the key to your success....and learning the reaction time of the tree. It takes time....but yeah, you should be way faster than that. I'll let you read that article if you want to...its a good one.

yeah i know who. how do you know him ? he found my TII for me its good to know people

rotoracing

c'mon man with 2.3 60fts my friend ran 13.3 stock turbo and on ten lbs. I ran 14.8 in my 89 gtu I know rt dont effect the time but keep them under .600 make sure to have alot of fuel and that the air is cold. use someones nitrous bottle and spay it on the intercooler. make sure i hold the boost good luck

95R2-89TII Ground Zero

Yeah, Josh, you should be running way better than that.

1_dollar_83_RX7

you did shift at redline and not 4k correct?

maybe you just need practice or your safc needs tuning

gz91rx7

If we are talking about the same person his name is Nick. I meet him on forum when he bought his 91 N/A! He had a post asking questions about N/A auto's and at the time I still had mine so I emailed him and then found out that we worked at the same place just different locations. Now he keeps me posted on his 7 and your 3rd because he cant wait to get his 7 back! Also your 3rd is SWEET!!!



To everyone else:
I know that my launch needs some work! I will post my times after next weeks events! I am wanting to remove my air pump and I am wondering if that will have as much of an effect as what I am told?
Right now my car wont boost any higher than 7 psi in first and 10psi in 2nd, 3rd! I dont know why I dont have more boost! Even if I adjust my boost controller I get any difference!!! I have been told to remove my air pump the get more boost so that is my next mod! what does everyone think?

95R2-89TII Ground Zero

I say remove the airpump and hit the track. Though I won't be there next week cause I'm going to see Oz in Florida, I'll be there the week after that...and then the FD may even run with you.

gz91rx7

lol yeah that would be fun!!!!

air pump doesn't make a difference in boost. check the vacuum lines. is stock boost solenoid still hooked up ?

gz91rx7

I dont know. The car is still new to me so I am learing daily about how the fc turbo is set up!
any other suggestions??

jspecracer7

That's a very low time for your mods.

How'd you get the OS Giken clutch from an FD to work on your FC? We tried to do that to an FD(took an HKS twin from an FC) and it didn't work.

get a manual boost controller and run 10-12psi. I don't see a fmic anywhere in your list, the hell you runnin a T04B on the stock intercooler for!?

Josepi

Somethings not right.

My first and only time at the strip, I netted a 15.3 with a 2.5 60' stock everything with around 82,000 miles on everything. (Not shabby seeing mags listed it as being a 15-15.1 car).

chaz805

your 60' times are the same as my 16 second nissan sentra!!!!!! are you running with alot of excess weight? the lack of boost may be part of your problem, but it actually sounds more like bad launches and slow shifts. drop the pressure a tad in your rear tires, ditch EVERYTHIGN you dont need in the car. work on speedshifting too, that helped me drop 6/10 ths in the 1/8th mile.

EnricoPalazzo

Your TS is quite slow, althou its good for a low 14. With all those mods u should be quick. Maybe u cant drive for ****.
