we're getting off the subject here people, i'm here to find out more about the apex rx6.

Yes, he has a ported motor. The AIC was only used for high boost. I think the guy was saying 122 just to **** off wankelwacker, now turbolag. So I figured I would add fuel to the fire.

Sorry it took so long to reply, I'm runnin 1600 seconderies, the motor has a very aggresive street port set up for good power at low boost I firmly believe in good HP #'s at low boost first,then turn it up.I will take 450RWHP at 15 lbs versus 450RWHP at 25 lbs any day, simply more efficient; as for the NOS it will be wet and controlled through haltech but that is after I like, and feel good with how the car runs without it.


My car is running well. At 18 psi my trap speed was 124. A large amount of traction was lost,
considering I spun the tires all through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. 12.67 what I posted. Imagine

Well, I guess I am lying since I have reason to impress a bunch of people I don't know. I really want to envied and admired. Not one of you guys e mailed me asking what I did to get the car to run so well. Right away I was attacked, some using expletives. I really care about the rX community and share whatever I can to help others to get their car running well, however it seems to be a waste of time with all of the 'naysayers'. My car still hits 122.12 mph in the quarter, even though I am told it is impossible. It has been doing this for over a year. When I finally get around to putting in my larger injectors I will make sure not to post my new, improved trap speeds. I will do it eventually but this is really just a part time hobby. I guess people don't like to see others doing well so they have to behave childishly and put them down, however I guess would be pissed if I spent a shitload of money on a single turbo and it was just as slow as someone with stock sequentials.
Does anyone remember kevin wyums car hitting 11's at 126 mpg with the sequentials and stock block? I guess he was lying too. However my hat comes off to him because his car still ran better than mine. I guess I am not the jealous type.

Heres another little secret- going to all nines slowed me down. The stock 7's and 9's are fine for high boost as long as you are careful with the timing adjustments. A hotter spark plug in the correct environment will make more horsepower than a colder one because................. but since you guys know everything I guess I'll just go take a cruise and pick on some new vipers, as usual.

Happily,
John
One day when I am done playing with twins, I'll buy a single.

Not trying to pick on John, since I remember the name Jodeny from when I was on the big list a while back. What about the possibilty that some people might be using the g-tech pro as their information source for 1/4 times and speeds? Not to say John's times and trap speed are from a g-tech, just throwing that out there to the masses. I can attest to the fact that launching at the track and on the street are totally different. I got my best 1/4 time with the g-tech since and not at the track cause of bogging it or just don't have the large hairy nuts to lose my differential at the track launching at 5K or higher. At the track is a helluva lot harder than on the street. But back to the g-tech, its a nice instrument and pretty accrurate as well, but its speed it shows at the end is not the trap speed, just the top speed you hit during the run.

again, just throwing it out there as a possible miscommunication when quoting 1/4 times and trap speeds.

What gives guys..? 122 mph is very believable...Brooks Weisenblat ran ~11.3's @ 120 plus with 362.5 hp....I see this crap/ denial in the kills section also. Quit being ignorant and rude...BTW: Good 1/4 times and et's Jodeny....Ignore them I don't think they know any better...lol

The G-tech isn't really an accurate measurement of actual performance. It gives an estimated time that is not consistent with every run. However, a vericom is a different story. It is dead ***** accurate and consistent with mph and .2 tenths off of the track every run. When I race at the track I also use my vericom to check to make sure the tracks clocks are correct! I really don't bother going to the track anymore now because after 50 runs the vericom was so accurate I figured why should I waste my money. Bottom line- If I gain a hundreth of a second on the vericom then I gained a hundreth at the track.

That's why I bought the Vericom. Expensive but accurate with lots of performance numbers. No more driving 100 miles to the track and spending $$$ to break my car. I'm more interested in highway performance. 30-60, 60-90, 20-100. It's cool when you know those numbers and they are dead accurate. Love 30-60 in < 2 seconds and 60-90 in < 3 seconds. That's fast enough for me.

I generally will not street race people. Waste of time unless you want to make a complete fool out of someone. Even then I'll do it only if the conditions are safe. I'll ony do it if someone is cocky and thinks he has a fast car. I never look for races on the street.

I have to admit it is fun when you have a cocky guy with a fast car(Z06) and you completely destroy him. Fun when they find out I have 5 RWHP/CU IN or 300RWHP/liter or 7 RWHP/lb.

Jodeny,
Its hard not to doubt you. Trust me, I would love to believe you. But remember you said stock fuel system. That means stock fuel pump, stock injectors and so on. With that said, please explain your mods to attain such a mph. and please post a time slip.
Thanks a lot,
Ernie

Look Ernie, it really doesn't matter to me what you think. If you enjoy being cynical, that is ok with me but If you reread my post it says 'I have the usual mods plus stock engine, turbos and fuel system' I forgot to leave a disclaimer- RP fuel pump. When I said fuel system I meant lines, filter, injectors and regulator- ooops, my bad.

Anyway, lets make these posts worth something- I have two or three questions for you.
How do you get such a fine quarter mile et while only hitting 116 mph?? It seems your hooking up real well out of the hole, maybe you can help me to get my car to hook. How do you launch so hard with such a large turbo anyway.


Two- For all the mods you gratuitously listed below in your signature, it seems you should be around 123- 128 mph in the quarter. Have you tested your mixture with a wideband throughout a full quarter mile? You may be running a little lean- I know the HKS twinpower is very efficient at burning al the fuel in the chamber. I just thought with such a fantastic setup you would be hitting 11'0's.
JohnPS- The BS flag is kinda tacky/childish, lets just keep the discussions on an intelligent level.

Jodeny.
We should start our own post... Sorry bout this Vosko...
My 1/4 mile time listed is with stock turbos. I have not picked my car up from the shop with the new single installed. Truth be told, I'll be dissapointed if I don't go 10's....:p
With the stock set up, using BFG drag radials, I launch at 5800rpm barely riding the clutch. I usually get 1.7 60'....
I pick up my car Wednesday with the new single turbo installed. I will post pic's and dyno sheet friday as Im going to KDR to dyno tune.

If you get into the 10s, it be in really cold weather.

stock fuel...stock twins....thats high twelves if you got rocket blasters out your backside...hahahahah


low twelves if you have full bolt on mods throughout, a prted motor and are running in 50 degree weather...but thats only from my experiences at the track.

Im taking ernies side on this one...

Id love to see you make those runs though...haha...you could teach me how to hit 110 in the 1/8th with my mods I bet...haha

****..I could probably do 150 in the 1/4 with knobby tires with my mods!

artboy,
I went back and read some of your previous posts to the forum(chuckle) therefore.........I won't even respond to your post.
Do you even own a set of tools?
You cleverly changed your sig in order to hide your name, it's Jason...right?
Well Jason I have to say I am really impressed by your (lack of) knowledge of the RX7.
It's kinda fun being as obnoxious as you are, I think I'll try this more often, maybe not-.
Oh and sorry your car is still a twelve second car with a ported motor, when you save up enough money you can bring it vback to your mechanic and have him install the used turbo you bought.
John

PS- If you get screwed again by turbo rebuilders, send them to me, I'll do it for free.
