ive been reading through all of this and im wondering if a lot of these times are acheived on nitrous? and what kind of rwhp's are getting put down for thes mid-low 11 runs. if those stock twins are getting those times with no n2o thats impressive.

Ive also been trying to find average 1/4 times for t-78 turbo setups with the works done (500 flywheel hp, so probly cars with about 450rwhp) since not many here seem to be doing singles, and if those are sprayed or not as well.

Very few RX7s are spraying. I ran my 11.7 on stock twins and stock ports with no spray. I am currently making a little over 400rwhp and have made several 11.2 second passes.

450rwhp should put you into the mid to high 10's assuming you have the right tires, diff, and you can drive

Did my best 1/4mile almost 2 weeks ago. With some serrous gearing problems.

60' 1.790
1/4 12.533 (186.2Km/h 116,37mph)

This was done at 13psi of boost on a Trust TD06H-25G turbo and with Bridgestone RE540S street slicks with 20 psi of air.

Could have done a 11 sek if it would have been easier to get it into gears.
It was tough to get into all gears.

your 406 hp doesn't match up to your 126 mph trap speed. How much does your car weigh?

Would you like the video and a dyno graph? Or better yet hop on a plane, come down to Texas and you can see it happen for yourself

[QUOTE=Jahoo88]88 rx7 here, 89 motor and turbo

stock turbo, stock intercooler, stock N332 computer, full interior, stereo, all season street tire (205/55 R16) at 28 psi, car weighs around 2650lbs.

Intake, exhaust, fuel system, mazdaspeed clutch, 15 psi bleeding to 10.

1/4.. 13.022

MPH.. 110.06
QUOTE]

I don't see how the hell you managed to pull that off. I just ran last night in SC and I have almost the same set up as you. Stock TMIC, stock turbo, streetported with intake and exhaust, 255lph pump with 850 secondaries and running 20psi. on 245/45 AVS ES100's. The first and only run of the night yielded a 2.25 60' (my best so far) and a 13.8 @102.3 (also best so far) Temp was about mid to low 70's (F). What am I doing wrong??

Have you noticed any mph "trap" loss when shifting at too high of rpm's? What kind of port do you have?

I would have had a full run but ran into all sorts of personal problems.

Ran two 1.58 sixty foots and one 1.557 sixty foot.

My best 330 was a 4.707

I came in 3rd placed cause, I broke my dial in. Mind you it was my b-day and i went with my 88 GTU just to have fun. Would never thought the car would keep hidding the same numbers all time. My car has K&N filter and Racing Beat Header. Nothing else is done to it. My dial in was 15.49 and when I was racing for 2nd place, out of no wear, my rival and me was neck and neck that i could'nt let go not to break and My GTU ran an et 15.2. Man I went home with cash 2 trophies and a big smile cause the GTU runs great.
