Man the times were bad and my driving worse .


RUN 1 - Launched the car at about 4K and the rear end felt like some one was trying to drible it like a basket ball, and as i got to past the 1000' it got a little loose so i hit the brakes.

R/t ... .582
60' ... 2.652
330 ... 6.975
1/8 ... 10.260
MPH ... 77.59
1000 ... 12.995
1/4 ... 15.370
MPH ... 90.23

RUN 2 - Rolled the car of the line and after that it felt like i was driving on ice.

R/t ... .801
60' ... 2.813
330 ... 7.071
1/8 ... 10.296
MPH ... 79.10
1000 ... 13.001
1/4 ... 15.266
MPH ... 100.98

MODS - in sig

 

i find its all in the clutch you need to get the back end to sit to trasfere the weight so it stays on the groung. some good rubber makes it too.

 

Clutch is an ACT ss w/ hd presure plate.. Tires are new but not the best

 

wow! looks like a lot of stuff for 15s. im sure it has a lot more in it. get some smaller wheels so you can run taller tires. dont do a burnout and go around the water box if you are on street tires. burning out hardens street tires when they get warm and water drips off the tires and makes it even worse. also leave when the 3rd yellow light hits. dont wait for the green light. im glad you took it to the track and posted uninflated times. def not a civic kid that claims 12's and runs 18's

 

if those mods are real :
MODS: Street ported S4 motor w/ S5 internals and S5 housings, 3" turbo back exhaust, Greddy type S blow off valve,Banzi Racing TID & cone filter, NPR FMIC, Full Autometer guages, Pro form shift light, 720cc secondary injectors, Walbro fuel pump,Aeromotive FPR, RTEK 1.7 ECU upgrade, Magnacore 10mm wires, 17 X 8 BBS Moda wheels, B&G Drop springs,Turbo XS Dual Stage MBC, TO4B hybrid turbo, BDC throttle body, pivot turbo timer, MSD 6A ignition box, and all unecessary engine bay equipment removed.

dude your car as a serious problem.
my friend with his 100 000km STOCK 10th AE did 15.4 on is 1st run then kept going lower until 14.9 . i dont remember the trap speed tho.
heres the link from his 1st run
its the 3rd race, the race is called RX-789 (red T2 S5) vs FC !?!? hes the white/primered one. on the lower lane, he had an amazing start tho !!

Those mods are all true. Like i said the car felt like it was driving on ice. I could feel the tires spinning. I was going to deflate the tires but i was only able to get those to runs in. The one time i did try to launch the car the rear end starting bouncing so i let off and the second run i just kind of rolled it out. Im sure if i had more track time and better tires the times would come down.

 

ha ha I am in the same boat as you, I am going to watch this thread as we are in the same boat, I got over 300hp and I cant break into the 13s.

Anyway we should hit the track on Wednesdays because 2 runs a night isn't going to improve either of our times, I bet if we could get at least 8 runs in we will see major improvements, later I might post my slips so they can laugh at me too.

My first run had tons of wheel hop too and second was slick and sketchy as well.

 

All the HP in the WORLD isnt going to help you get a better time if you cant put the power to the ground..

 

basic rule of acceleration force x mass
300 hp aint nothing for a cruise ship.
loose weight. and the first 200 kg are free good place to start
huge lumps of metal crap under bumpers
another great one is your roof ditch all the workings and huge frame silicone your roof plate in. loots of weight loost from above you head the worst place to have it.
also how much gas is in your tank???

 

that 60ft is terrible- that would be whats killing your times. you gotta figure out how to launch much better. turning that 2.8 into a 1.8 takes a second off the time..
my 13.0 trapped at 109 with a 2.2 60 ft (coilovers+street tires). so it sounds like you should be in high 13's.

Its practically a new motor so i didnt want to beat on it too hard on the first run so i let it out at about 4k and got some nasty wheel hop so the second run i didnt want to try an launch and brake somthing so i rolled it out. I did realize one thing that the car wasnt ready for the track. I will have better tires and the suspension will be in better shape before i go to the track again.

 

With those mods you felt like you were driving on ice? Seriously.....you're not running that much HP, probably 250 max to the wheels. With a TII lsd, you should be fine. Did you forget to put tires on your rims or something?

 

The car dynoed 227 with the old stock turbo, Low compression on the motor, and 9 pounds of boost. I doubt its maxing out at 250 with the new set up. But in a few weeks its going on the dyno so ill make sure to let you know what its putting down.

 

So is the motor still on low compression ?

My n/a would run similar if not better times depending on my setup with about 160-170whp on a streetported s4 na.

Id say to check out your bushings and see if they need to be replaced , bad bushings can make you lose alot of hp to the ground by having bad bushings that cause the car to vibrate under heavy load.

Example : motor mounts, tranny mounts, and rear end mounts

If any of those mounts are torn up it can cause alot of vibration.

I also believe (but not 100% sure), that solid mounts or even harder mounts than stock will help to prevent wheelhop.

 

I just had the motor rebuilt about 8 months ago. I just bought a bushing kit so that will be on next week along with some new Diff mounts. The motor mounts are stock replacements. Plus now im starting to feel a little bang in the rear everytime i shift so i parked the car till i can get it to the shop next week.

 

Probably the differential mounts are gone and the rear end is hitting something because the mounts arent holding it in place.
