I am pretty upset with the figures I put up, but the car was running horribly all day, and I was having problems keeping it running.

Car broke at about 3/4 track on the first run, and ended up clocking a 16.3 @ 66mph.

I only managed to get one other run in, launched terribly (on nearly bald radials), with a full tank of gas, and the car running like ***.

Reaction: 0.451 (pro tree)
60ft.: 2.348
ET: 15.059
MPH: 92.030

(that's all the information our stupid track gives).

It was about 30 degrees celsius (hotter at track level), which probably didn't help either.

Oh well, next time.

 

what mods, how much boost, what does "running like ***" mean?

 

2.5" cat back, removed cat, rb downpipe. k&n intake. dual alternator pulley. not sure how much PSI, my stock gauge is out of whack.

running like *** - wouldn't stay running, kept stalling. actually stalled at 3/4 track under full acceleration in 3rd gear. that sucked ***. big puffs of blue smoke at the end of the track. running like ***.

 

time for a rebuild...

 

yes something wrong wit ur car..... my first and best run with my TII was 14.2 @ 97 mph with a 2.2 60' sounds like u have a tired engine my friend.

 

What are your mods compared to him?

 

Yeah, I'm rebuilding over the winter

 

You also have to understand that this was my very first trip down the track in my T2. First full launch as well - it was terrible. I'm not surprised I pulled a 2.345 60ft, since I bogged a little off the start, not smooth at all.

 

my run was also my 1st ever on my TII also me chirping the tires through the 1st 4 gears didn't help either. mods were.......... RP 2.5 DP,Gutted Cat, RP FCD and ACT 4 Puck Bronze with Extreme PP.

 

why are you guys so quick to point at a rebuild? a worn engine wont stall at WOT. The big puffs of blue smoke are likely from a blown turbo oil seal. the problem keeping it running could be a bunch of things though. do some research before you spend a lot of time/money on somthing that may not need fixing.

 

Please throw away those bald tires.
For some odd reason, people think bald tires will give them better traction, but it doesn't.
When tires wear, the sticky rubber disappears, and you're stuck with crappy rubber that's used to bind the sticky rubber to the rest of the tire carcass.
This intermediate rubber is NOT designed for traction; it's soley designed to keep the tires from falling apart.

As for the car running like *** at half track...I think a hose or clamp blew.

I wasn't running bald tires for traction, they are the only tires I have at the moment! They aren't completely bald, just barely any traction left. I just purchased the car about three weeks ago.

I would have thought the hose/clamp as well, but I got a full run in later, without even checking them.

 

Perhaps you hit boost cut? I wouldn't be suprised if this were the case, I would occasionally hit boost-cut in 3rd gear on my tired TII with a drop in K&N filter as the only mod...

I think a 15 for your car is pretty good. Not to mention you'd run a much better time with just some better tires/launch.

 

LOL, whats wrong with you?

Your car runs like crap but you run it down the track then you bitch about bad times. Yeah...lol....

So your gonna rebuild it anyway...but if you blow the engine your rebuild costs go up fast....

 

I wasn't "bitching" about bad times.

 

Oh, sorry bout that

Hope you get your car sorted out and start running so better times!

You can get a lot more traction on street tires if you carry your burnout past the water box into all the sticky rubber left on the pavement by the pro cars, if they were sharing the strip.

 

Not too bad, I guess. I would think it should be a hair faster. Here is a link to mine, to compair.
