went to the track for the first time in my 87 turbo 2 and i was pleased....i was only running 10 psi and i was running 17 inch street tires..and this was my first time to the track.... R/T... .234 60'... 2.296 330'... 5.935 660'...8.893 MPH...84.65 1000'...11.431 1/4...13.534 MPH...108.17

 

Nice

 

geez, you were going pretty fast by the end there!

My first time to the track (on the stock turbo and IC), my best was a 13.6 @ 106mph, with a 2.4 60' time.

What are your mods?

 

what track did u run that on?

 

thanx my mods are.....streetported 3mm atkins motor,720 secondaries,upgraded stock turbo,FMIC,turbo back racingbeat exhaust,K&N intake,FCD,SAFC2,ACT clutch,weight reduction....i know with those trap times i should be in the 12's but i had horrible wheel hop through first and second so i couldnt launch hard at all...the track i ran was Beaver Springs dragway near harrisburg PA

 

Right on. Yeah, you could easily be in the 12's with that trap.

What's with your turbo though? Is it just a wheel upgrade?

 

it was a built up turbo from blouch turbo...i told him to build it up as much as he could. he did a wheel upgrade ported the wastegate and did the 360 thrust bering...i think it pushes 49lb per min

 

yeah, this car is a hell of a lot faster than 13.5.

We raced on the highway, and it wasn't a race he walked a nearly stock FD(that would put it in about the 13.6 area) by a lot.

 

Nice trap.

 

i ran the best time out of the group of 7 of us that went up and i was the hero of the day because on the way up to the track we were driving down the highway and my freind was in front of me in his 500+hp 95 talon tsi and all the sudden we saw flames coming from under the car so we all pulled over and there was smoke pouring from the hood and when they opend it there was flames they were all trying to put out the flames with there jackets as i rushed over with the only fire extinguisher... one that i always keep in my car and i quickly put the fire out...and saved the car..funny thing is that they always used to make fun of me for carrying a fire extinguisher...and they all said sorry for doin so after that...lol

 

damn ur slow but no offense i have an na 87 i put a t2 engine and my friend with a gto with slicks intake and exhaust ran a 13.4 and i pass hime in the street in third im stock just no cats stock down pipe exhaust a filter boosting 6 psi with 15 inch rims whats up ??? everything else stock

 

if i was running slicks i would be in the mid to low 12's i couldnt hook up for **** and i had bad wheel hop cause i had 17 inch rims and street tires and this was my first time at the track...the car is fast just look at the trap speed...

 

i dunno what to do about my wheel hop issues...

 

differential brace, upgraded rear suspension, new rear bushings...

 

i have new eibach springs and tokiko shocks but still factory bushings and mounts...i guess thats the next thing ill do..whats the differential brace?

 

no man, the first and foremost thing you need to do is get some bigger tires and don't run much air pressure in them... i had bad wheel hop issues as well and as soon as i switched to a 245/55/15 using only 15lbs of air pressure it was glorius low profile tires tend to cause wheel hop alot.

 

ok ill have to try that thanx....im gonna look into some slicks but i dunno what rims to use for them...i dont really wanna buy more rims and i dont think i can fit a wide enough slick on the extra bbs vert rims i have

 

i applaud you for not flaming the hell out of this moron 13bturbofc

you ran about the same time i ran my first few times at the track, the high 60' time would easily point out the problem but idiots like this who come around thinking with honda car mentalities ruin the forum.

like said with the trap you can push into the 12's with a good launch, disregard what the tool said earlier. most of wheel hop issues come from worn suspension(leaky stock struts), aired up tires(try dropping the PSI in your rear tires to 16PSI and i bet it cures most of the hop) or a fouled track(watch that the dumbass ricers don't roll through the water trap with their front tires water fouling the track, if there is any who happen to actually have a RWD...).

 

a pinion snubber should help also, but the tires issue is what's causing most of the hop...

nice times

I could never get my (near) stock TII over 100mph....my best trap was a 99 at 13.8something...

 

thanx karack..i was hard to hold back on that guy but i could tell he didnt have a clue what he was talking about so i ignored it.... what kinda rims/slicks would you guys recomend....and whats a pinion snubber?

 

hey 13bturbofc.. im lookin one day to some work on my car to get it to traps around yours.. really nice work bro.. right now i have an NA but hopin to swap to tII soon.. anyway.. i think you should get a good thick set of street tires and drop the pressure to 16 or 15 psi.. just my opinion buti think its pretty cool when guys like you make awesome passes without special tires just for the track.. good luck bro!

 

LOL! I say YOU are slow!

 

lol yeah.... oh and jrat wait till i get i get my turbo on that i got from your buddy crashdummy...ill be kickin serious *** at the track then

 

traction bar will take care of that wheel hop there playa

 

I don't think so ted
