Well, I went down to the drag strip today. It was a perfect day to go here in Seattle, it's sunny, and in the mid 50s. Not bad for Seattle! I was able to get in 9 - 10 runs before my clutch started to slip real bad. Anyway, here are a few of my best times....





My best time....



R/T - .649

60' - 1.988

330 - 5.595

1/8 - 8.560

MPH - 84.69

1000 - 11.075

1/4 - 13.211

MPH - 106.05





My next best time....



R/T - .624

60' - 2.099

330 - 5.749

1/8 - 8.689

MPH - 84.79

1000 - 11.204

1/4 - 13.332

MPH - 106.53





And a few other runs....



60' - 2.104

1/4 - 13.418

MPH - 102.74



60' - 2.058

1/4 - 13.456

MPH - 105.28



60' - 2.139

1/4 - 13.425

MPH - 107.27



I had a few other runs in the 13s. I was the fastest import there. All of my mods are in my sig.

VERY VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW ! 13.2 @ 106 !!!!! that's damn good. your car is probably making about 250-260rwhp!!!!!!

I am very happy with my times. Hell, I would have just been happy breaking into the 13s. I think that with a good clutch, and a good launch I'd be in the high 12's.

What was your best time with your TII Vosko?

vosko 03-01-2003 07:04 PM

13.7 @ 100 MPH with stock catback... LOL

ILUVMY88CABRIO 03-01-2003 07:13 PM

13.7, that is what I thought it was. You never ran it after you got the N1 on there?



I will have vids of some of the runs in here pretty soon, I'm waiting for a friend to edit out all of the crap.

i ran 13.8@ 101.5 with the car blowing up with the N1 on it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I need do get my 60' times down, I think they are a bit high. I wonder how long my turbo will last, It already had alot of end play. I'd say almost 1/8" in and out, and about 1/16" side to side. But it wasn't making any noise, and in 4th gear it was getting up to 15 psi. My car was running a bit warm (about the middle of the temp gauge), so I think I'll toss the fan shroud in tomorrow.

turn the boost down to 10 psi or you will need a new engine. my old TII was doing the same thing and when it broke. if necessary take out the turbo and port the wastegate. don't do what i did ... run fast then kill it.... DON'T BE THAT GUY! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Well, I have no boost controller, and the next $300 - $400 I spend will be for a clutch. I was running my SAFC a bit rich under hi throttle, plus the big IC has got to help too. I kind of kept my eye on the A/F gauge, and it seemed that it was running pretty rich. Neither the turbo or the engine seemed to have any complaints, only the clutch.
