Im just getting my car back from the shop in the next 2 weeks. and i added a few new mods to the new motor. And i had a few question as to how much better the car will preform with these mods on the 1/4 mile.

Has anyone had the setup of...Intake, Exhaust, Downpipe, PowerFC, S/S Clutch and 9.5 flywheel?

After i have saved a little more moeny to afford tunning and IC i was thinking about goin with, Intake, Exhaust, Downpipe, Midpipe, S/S Clutch, 9.5 flywheel and IC, and non-seq turbos. what times can be seen with this setup?

 

low12's high 12's

 

nice think i could beat my friends SVT cobra? ....he ran a 13.5 :| ....yes...13.5 driver issues

 

13.5 Unless your an Ub3r shitty driver. Expect to beat him. Im thinking stockfor stockw ith your car in good conditiong and some sticky tires you could've beat him if he's as shitty of a drive you say he is.

I know someone with that same setup and they ran mid 12's consistently

 

You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

 

Im gonna say low 13s. Takes more to get into 12s unless you have slicks.

 

Ditto...

 

what else can be done to get into 12s other then single turbo. after all those mods id pretty much have every bolton but pulleys right?

hmm i also have magnecor wires...and a bov. i dont think that makes too much of a diff

 

If he's asking, it means he's never been to the track and has no idea what his car will run, or possibly even how to launch. To say it will run X is misleading at best. There's no way of knowing how well it will perform until he actually goes to the track. The saying "you're only as fast as your last run" was coined for a reason.

Just FYI, driving skills aren't genetically passed to other owners of the same type of car.

 

i know. thats why i stated

"what times can be seen with this setup?

 

I was saying in general if he isn't shitty drive he should be able to pull a 13.5 and beat the cobra..."IF"



To be rhetorical.."IF" he isn't a shitty driver..its all based on possibility...not reality because he hasn't done it yet.

 

I have PFC, intake/dp/mp/exhaust, act clutch, and I'm already non-sequential. The previous owner claimed to have run a 12.8. Im not even sure if that was possible. When it worked I raced a guy in a 350Z with just exhaust and barely pulled him. Then again this was when my car first started acting up and had the weird turbo/bov noise.

 

But you still need tuning...

 

Just wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page.

 

I think we both were

 

I gonna go out in the LIMB.

I say he RUNS high 13's or 14's.


I always find it funny when people ask " what will it run"
So many variable in racing, from traction, to shifting and etc.
But the fact he asking newbie questions.. I say he runs
what stated above.

Not flaming.. just my opinion. Let us know, hope you prove me wrong.l

 

I believe what he meant to say is low 13s high 12s, which is probable with that set-up. However if not, then you are absolutely correct.

 

I predict first three runs he'll bog it.....

4th run No traction

5th run Wheel Hop

6th Run 13.7 no better

....My point being...PRACTICE

 

...its easy to get into the 12's. All i had on my car was intake, DP, MP catback, PFS tuned to 14 PSI. Stock tires. ran a 12.74 @ 111.xx

 

But you aren't asking if you would be able to beat your friends cobra and...how many times did you practice before pulling off that time?

 

I ran a 12.81 and at the time had a piggy back, intake,dp,mp,cb,14lbs boost & drag radials.I missed 3rd and got a 2.4 0-60ft with a slipping clutch.I figure I should have ran a Anywhere from a 12.4 to a 12.00.

 

hmm practice sounds like a good idea, gotta get used to the car again, ill obviously do that before i race him, i still have to break in the motor and clutch, tho so gimme awhile and ill prob get it on film for you guys. =)

 

i ran 12.7 when i only had intake full exhjaust and powerfc @ 12 psi.
