I finally got around to the track in my turbo II tonight. It was pretty damn warm, 92 degrees. They said the track temp was 116! Anyway, it's an '88 turbo. Mods: 3" turbo back, RTek (base), removed the airfilter and lid. Once I figured out how to launch without a bog I ran a:


After that the clutch became too warm and the times just when up. All in all I was very happy with the results.

 

Holy crap - what was in the other lane?

 

haha..it was a buddy in a beautiful 300ZX 'slicktop'. His other ride is a 300Z TT that traps 120+ so he had a little trouble getting used to the power (or lack thereof) in this one

 

Obviously. Thats a horrile time for that trap. I ran similar trap speeds at over 2 seconds faster, and I totally screwed up the launch.
Also, thats a pretty good r/t for your first time.

 

well, it wasn't my 1st time drag racing, just the 1st time in the RX-7. My other car is a 358whp WRX, runs low 12's at 113mph. I leave a little later in the WRX because it launches so fast I usually redlight every once in a while. The r/t doesn't effect the et so I just basically concentrated on launching. The RX-7 had a LOT more grip than I was expecting, I had to launch around 4k. I plan to upgrade a bit, hopefully get into the 118-120mph traps someday

 

Nice 60 ' ... what tires?

 

that was with my auto-x Falken Azenis sports 225/45R17's @ 38psi

 

Wat all do you have done to your fuel system? Wat kinda psi are u running?

Nice times tho!!!

 

Nothing else is done to the car? Just rtek and exh pretty much? Impressive times for an essentially stock FC.

 

what kinda fuel mods do you have and what were you boostin?

 

Boost psi???

 

it runs about 13psi in the mid range then tapers down to about 7psi by redline

 

so you ran faster than an 11.7 @ 101mph
uummmm i doubt it
13.7 "over 2 seconds faster" = <11.7 and 99-103mph

 

^^he meant he ran 16's at 82 mph

 

I actually ran a 16 flat (well, 15.99) at 88, and that was with a shitty launch from bald tires Kumho 712's and a missed 1-2 shift. And yes, I was talking about the times for the other car.
