Thats pretty good right? All he has is an intake and his clutch/tranny is all fucked up. Very difficult to get it in gear. He said his best run he couldn't catch 3rd. I see people on here run 17s with full exhaust, etc. Hes about to go true-dual and maybe some N20.

 

That seems pretty good if he missed 3rd. Ive heard of some running around 15.7 completely stock. Also seen some run 17+ too

 

Ya I think he could get in the mid 15s with his clutch/tranny fixed. It really sucks. Sometimes I can just not get it in any gear unless the car is turned off. I bet I coulda got it in the 15s

 

i ran 15.9 @ 86mph (mph i'm guessing it was a long time ago) with pacesetter header, bonez hiflow cat and bonez intake. that was when i sucked drag racing too lol

 

See thats what I am talking about. This is basically stock(intake on an NA gives you next to nothing with out exhaust work done) and a truly fucked up tranny/clutch. I thought he did pretty good and his car is pretty strong.

 

One of the last times I went to the track and saw the F&F guys,I would say I didnt see one FC run in the 16s,They were high 17 even 18.Levi said he ran a high 14 (which I didnt see) I ran 15s with my FB on stock ports,15.3 / 15.9

Im going to bridge port it soon once I get time to hope to make it to the next DragWars.

Ryde _Or_Die Get your **** done so we can go,I want to beat up on some Hondas

 

Ya I know man. I pulled like a 15.6 myself I was really badly tuned and my turbo was apparently about to go. Would explain the smoking problem I was having.

 

I ran a bunch of 16.3-16.6's at around 83 mph with a high mileage SE with header and BPU setup... I am gonna port the **** out of a six port and see what happens, 15.99 here I come , woo hooo... I am glad I also own a TII with a t04e .......

 

this thread is about to make me cry. Im shooting for a high 13, hell "Detruich" on this forum ran a 14.6 on a stock ported motor, im way past that on my port.

 

The only time I took my 86' N/A to the strip I ran a 16.3. I wasn't really ready cuz they did't match me up with anyone, and I wasn't shifting fast enough. Plus it was my first and only time ever racing at the strip. I still haven't had a chance to go back. My bushings and spring are all f-ed up on the shifter, I have **** tires, and I am completely stock.

 

So the new go-fast mod for NA's is to leave it stock?

 

I got a 15.7 at 88mph out of mine when the only mod it had was a RB pipe + presilencer. That was with winter tires, easy shifting and still getting tire in the third gear Waiting for a set of new Kumho 712s and a few other bits until I try again. I'm sure I can get it down to 15.2-15.3 which is fairly good for an 86'.

 

well my 88 se with 152k miles did a 17.4 at best.
just a air filter on it.

My GTU I only ran once before exhaust. It did a 17.1 but I had a bad 60ft.I figure I can do a 16.8 now.
Not very impressive and it pisses me off.

 

i have been 14s with intake and exhaust with both of my na's. forget you charles and your port. lol

 

Amen on the BaseModel. LoL. Yeah man, 14s seem pretty common for N/As around here.

 

Alot of you guys make me happy I got a 12A

RacingBeat / Holley intake
600 Double Pumper mechanical secondaries
Holley Blue fuel pump with regulator
RacingBeat road race header
2.5 in exhast no cats
FC tailing coils
E fan conversion

Soon to be bridge ported

Brap brap

 

Well that way you know the air pump is still "trying" to open the sixth ports, right? I wonder if low back pressure from open exhausts kills the torque enough to adversly affect the 1/4 mile times, enough to counter their high rpm gains? Anyone wanna take a guess?

All these guys in the 17's are in hot climates. Higher temperatures = less oxygen for a given air density, meaning less available power. All the guys in the low 16's are in colder climates.

 

Your sig rules, AMEN!

 

My first time at the strip, about a month after I got my car I ran 16.4-16.8 on a bone stock '90 GTU. I was dissapointed and started looking for things wrong with my car. The previous owner had put the plugs from the leads on the trails.

When I went back, I ran a 16.0 with a granny launch (2.6 60ft).The car had a racingbeat header, pre-silencer, and an air filter. My times were still not great, so again I checked out my car, and only one 6port was opening.

These were my only two times at the drag strip, so basicly I suck at drag racing. not to be an *** but, you 17 second guys need a tune up, or driving lessons or somthing

 

Well I run 17's and My 60fts were 2.4 best. I know how to launch. That was in my 88 SE.

As for tune up. I have done plugs,wires,e-fan,removed a/c,all fluids changed. I can fell the ports actuating. It hasn't accured to me but maybe only one is opening up.

As for the hot climate. I did my 17.1 on my first run in the car since i bought it and it was late august(70-80`F).
I haven't run it late;y cause my second gear syncro is gone so I can't 5H1F7 (V)4|) Qu1(|< '/0 !!

Oh yeah.. If you plan to drag alot. Buy mazdatrix's racing diff mount ahead of time. After 10ish times down the strip in my 88SE it was beyond gone.

 

you like the sig dont ya.lol

 

ROFL,thats awesome!

Ganky *** mods

AMEN!

 

1.9 60ft=knowing how to launch. Does your motor have good compression? My runs were made on a 70 degree day also.

 

87n/a 15.6 89mph high flow k&n.racingbeat roadrace header.5th 6th ports not working. just got underdrive pulleys,so gonig to try again. spun for days at the line!

 

you guys realize that altitude affects your car too, for some i bet if you ran your car at sea level youd see some better numbers. my rex ran a hell of a lot better in houston when i got back from college in tucson. tucson is 3000ft i think and houston is 0ft. i dont have quarter mile numbers to back this up but i could definitly tell a difference.
