DCCD I would go with locked as it will reduce traction loss and as for tyre pressures try both see what you gain/lose time wise but softer is generally better.

bigsinky

2.4 seconds but essentially yes

if you have a reaction time greater than 0.4 seconds you have broke the beam before the green light and you are automatically red lighted.

nothing wrong with those times

do you mean your 60ft time? 0-60 in 1.9 would be fabulous, motorbike territory dont worry you will get used to the jargon. 1.9 60ft times are not bad. look at your slips were the 60ft times consistant? 10 runs with 1.9 60ft times would suggest your car wont go any better. fluctuating 60ft times means you need some work on your launch.

1.9 was my best 0-60ft time, the highest was 2 seconds

I raced a motorbike the other day on the 1/4 mile and got spanked he even pulled of a wheely as he was pulling away !

maybe I need to be quicker of the clutch then ? as I hold it above the biting point for a majority of first gear as I feel anymore power going down and I'd wheel spin, maybe I'm wrong though

Anyway, fuel pump + FPR + FMIC + injectors + map sound like a good idea ?

I'd like to have piece of mind knowing my engine is running safely rather than having it modded and still on standard managment or should i just map it and ignore the mods above, apart from the fueling and see how i get on with that ?

bigsinky

for now i would just map it. a good mapper will squeeze a bit more out of the engine while retaining a safety margin. they might ask for a new fuel pump and FPR but then your injectors wont physically be able to pump more fuel. at that stage you need bigger injectors, then another remap. after that well............ its down to how much you want to spend.

Yes get yourself down to Andy Forrest and get mapped.

Crail is also very prone to a head wind which never helps.
I managed 11.68 at crail in a V2 sti with a forged 2.1 and a TD05 20g mapped for 10% Methanol.
It made a proved 340/333 at the weekend although i belive that figure may be a little on the low side.

The key is don't be scared to launch it i was launching anywhere between 5-6k revs. 0-60 ft time was 1.7.

its all about the launch.Here is me in my standard (apart from nur spec exhaust) against a Noble M12

bigsinky

yes it seems a bit low for me. that time would suggest the thick end of 400 hp. what where your teminal speeds like?

Get the car as light as possible, no spare wheel, quarter of a tank of fuel or thereabouts but not so little fuel that you have issues with fuel pickup under hard accelleration. Little or no water in the screen wash. Only one tow eye front and rear. Remove unneccessary steel work under the car including the prop catcher.
Simtek ECU with launch and anti lag.
Experiment with launch RPM.
Experiment with tyre pressures.
You are aiming for a 60 foot time of 1.7 seconds or below. Every 10th of a second saved on the 60 foot will save two 10ths on the overall run so saving two 10ths will immediately reduce your time by four 10ths.
1.2 bar is relatively low and once the Simtek is properly mapped running around 1.4/1.45 bar you may be able to break in to 12 secs. If you map with octane booster or use methanol on map 2, 12 seconds is well within your capabilities with very little further work.

Thanks harvey Ill give it all a try

What un-neccessary metal work is there under the car

Most ppl judge the time from the aggressive launch.. When you watch those in the zone in their own game ... nailing the fininsh line come out with the best times ... sadly, EVO drivers appear to to have better clutches

bigsinky

if you have actually raced you will know good runs are made in the first 60ft

again what do you mean here. A bit of a general statement. An exedy twin or triple plate carbon will be miles better than an oem EVO clutch. They cost 10x the price so it's all relative

I always found 600bhp helped get me under 13 seconds but then my gear changes held me back from getting proper times as I'm sure bigsinky will agree

stevebt

iTrader: (8)

Of the few times I have done them I can nail a 1.6/1.7 but then its all downhill from there

MY99 UK with a dawes and exhaust was 13.4s first ever attempt. Probably around 260/270. Full weight, plus tools.

300 should see easy 12s.

I always race the car next to me and the clock - would be boring otherwise

bigsinky

Oh yes putting it all together is the hard part. Consistency is the key. I actually found it harder to get better times with more power.

mickywrx

iTrader: (29)

That's one of my problems, getting some consistency.

Launch is very important, also not changing into 5th if you can avoid it when near the line.

At least I beat Stevebt though, I like racing my friends.

He'll twist about gear changes and all sorts, but, a wins a win.

bigsinky

Some of us don't have a choice in shifting up to 5th. About 100 m before the 1/4
