Yo,

Reaction: .543
60' Time: 2.312
1/4 Time: 15.782
MPH: 89.211

Best run so far. My times have dropped with more mods I've put on.

It's gone like...16.7...16.4...16.0...15.8...15.7.

I will probably visit the strip next week to see how it does with the new S-AFCII enhanced top end.

looking foward to it

 

i ran a 15.5 @ 88 in my NA (91 coupe). i had a 2.2 60ft. mods were intake and exhaust, AC/PS/spare/etc weight reduction FD wheels with 225/50 tires. our 1/4 track also starts the runs at like 8:00pm so the air temps are nice and cool when we run. that always helps

since then i have a done a total series5 turboII swap so i'm hoping for a 13.6@106 or so when i go back with the mods listed in my sig. think i can do it? i'll have the boost controller set @ 12psi with my new starion FMIC.

 

Jacob. Why don't you start your own thread?

 

my NA ran 15.5@88mph

sorry for ruining this one with all my turboII talk, is everyone suppose to make their own thread in this section about what time they ran?

 

Can anyone tell me the stock 1/4 mile time for my 87 turbo II? I took off the cat's, which is illegal and it didnt really make that much of a difference, besides the sound. if anyone knows please help.

 

its about a mid 15 sec car if everything is up to par, like spark plugs wires fuel and so forth

 

now that im thinking about, the 5speed mazda 6 is faster, with a 15.0 1/4 mile time

 

Thats crazy. The fastest time I ever turned in my FC was a 14.8@95(?) and a 15.0@98mph. To think that a mazda 6 is right there, is kinda depressing. Although, I do like the looks of em. CJ

 

thank you for someone telling me.. yeah it runs good and it is pretty quick. i think anways, this summer i am going for a 3 inch down pipe with apexi n1 dual exhaust, and a custom intake. if anyone knows better please tell me, i could use all the help i can get from some of you guys. thanx

 

i'll get in on this too!

My 87 TII has 135,000 km's so about i dunno 75,000 - 80,000 miles you guys do the math. In the summer i want to rebuild it, street port it and put 3mm apex seals. I am also gonna do a 3 inch downpipe with the full cat system and apexi n1 dual exhaust. I am gonna put an intake on it, a bigger fuel management system and bigger injectors. also a blow off valve, not sure what bov im gonna get though... Eventually I am gonna get a turbo upgrade and a front mount intercooler and a bigger rad... I just want to make my car do 13's... hopfully very low 13's maybe even high 12'2 with the turbo upgrade.... PraxRX7 if you read this please reply. I am in alberta to.

 

Dont worry because the best I've seen them tested at is a 15.4 @ 93 mph.

 

Yo,


Just got back from the racetrack...I broke out on my first bracket race!!

But check it out!!

Reaction: .623
60' Time: 2.183
1/4 Time: 15.302
MPH: 91.243

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. 2.032 MPH /faster/ than my best run and .48 second quicker!!

That's almost a full half second improvement. Dude, the MPH!

I'm pretty stoked! With a better launch...I could be in the high 14's!! YEAH!

For comparison, the guys at Road & Track got a stock GTUs to do the 1/4 mile in 16.7 @ 84.5mph.

Also, Motor Trend got a 1989 TII to do a 15.02 @ 93.25.

I can't wait until I get my CAI back up and running, then I'm going back!!

sounds like somebody's new sticky tires were a great investment

 

Hell with the new tires it's all about the "Dana Tuned" S-AFCII!!! Hehe good job brotha.

- Dana "I coudl get it into the 14's "

 

Nukkah please!

It's all about the J So approved rims!

Kev I know she's got a 14 in her fo shure!

 

Tune that car to the edge, slap some DR's on your car, and come off the line on the rev limiter! You'll get into the 14s easy....or break the tranny.

BTW, nice 60ft times. CJ

 

Sweet...dude I'm very confident that with what you have done now you could break into the 14's. Keep at it man, I wish you luck.

 

kevin what was your 1/8th mile time and mph? my local track is a 1/8th mile so i would just like to know to compare.

 

14s are in your future man your almost there. Good job!

 

Yo,


This should answer all questions!



Kevin
1989 GTUs "14's...soon!"

 

Im going this friday. I plan to match or get close to that time. Hope i can muster a 90+mph. Wish me luck.

 

I bet you run in the 14's if you put the stock springs in the rear of the suspension less negative camber in the back means more tread laying on the ground before the suspension even compresses and the softer rate makes for more compliance to deal with the force of the launch. I'd also lower tire pressure to around 22psi - you'd be surprised how well the car hooks, just don't take any real corners like that hehe

 

wow my NA ran the exact same 1/8th time and one more MPH... however, i ran 2 tenths and 3mph slower in the 1/4. i guess its that topend that the SAFC got ya
