Was wondering what 0-60 & 1/4mile times I could hope for?

My car is:

MY99 UK 4 Door
Full De-cat (turbo bck) mongoose 3" through and 4"back
HKS SSQV
Samco Turbo Hoses
Tek3 running 17.4psi
17" WRX wheels etc
Run on Optimax

Also what is the best launch method?
Ideal tyre pressures for best launch?

Will be using a perfomance meter thingy and then maybe go to Santa Pod Jan 25th.

Regards,

Bob

 

My old standard MY97 UK2000 did a 4.8 at a magazine day. It did the 1/4 mile in 13.7.

Launch wise i just dialled up 5.5 to 6 k and gave it hell lol. Suffice to say my clutch didnt last long after each event.

 

jph:

v good times.

 

what was your terminal speed?

about 100?

therefore it took 8.5 seconds for 60-100?

take the push bike next time

 

98 something i think it was.

jjjones why do you think i dont own a scoob no more

 

I can do 0-60 in 17 seconds in my auto Xantia. As for 1/4 mile times, I think its a bit TOO quick for a RWYB day. I'll have to join a drag racing club I think.

 

Mad: A few more tweeks needed to keep up with yours then

 

@BOB'5

MY99 UK Turbo
Scoobysport 2.5" straight through decat to 3" tail pipe
ITG Panel filter
Tek2 from scoobysport, apparently premapped for decats

1/4 mile 13.8secs and i really wasnt going mega mad on the clutch so got a few tenths to shave off there, terminal speed at 98mph at santa pod.

Was in the 14's when standard and on 14.1 with above mods on a clutch saving launch, so you'll be atleast 2tenths either way depending on how you launch!

 

Just noticed you're at the pod 25th, might join ya

 

In the Scoob (MY99) I got 14.2s at 98mph with just exhaust and filter, at the Pod on a VERY hot day.

After I modded it (ECUTEK, VF35, pump, reg. etc etc) I got a 13.3s at the Pod. Can't remember terminal for that run.

Both runs were easyish on the clutch and box, IIRC about 4k rpm and come off clutch.

Shame its getting sold!

 

UHF: where you driving down from mate on 25th?


Any other times/advice anyone?

Regards,

Bob

 

North London Mate!

 

Is this a RWYB day?

 

WRX: Yes it is indeed mate...come along?

UHF: Not far from here...am travelling down maybe with a few non-scoobies from down here...I'm not aware of any scoobs travelling down from my area on that day. Are you doing a convoy down?

Bob

 

I WENT TO JAP SHOW AT POD, MEGA DAY (EVEN THE MISS ENJOYED IT).
I FANCIED A CRACK ME SELF BUT NEVER HAD D LICENCE, SO DONT FORGET YOURS. I WENT AGAIN ABOUT 2 WEEKS, LATER BEST TIME 14.001 98MPH
I LEFT LINE AT A LITTLE OVER IDOL (DIDNT WANT TO BREAK MY BABY) OR THE NEW CLUTCH I HAD JUST HAD FITTED. FANCY THE 25TH ME SELF MAY SEE YOU THERE

 

nobody else coming as far as I know, will post in southern and see if we can get a few more

 

had the same car with the same mods, decat / tek3 and plenty of 1/4mile practice best i did was a 13.10sec

launch: more the revs the better i usually dial in 6000rpm, drop clutch on the green light, but just catch it to spin the clutch and keep the revs up and not bog down, but with the slight wheelspin you get this will help keep the car in boost. found this to be the best way, also got me a 4.5sec 0-60 with this method at a 0-60 timted event.

this method WILL damage ya car though, i went through 2 gearbox's, 3 flywheels and 3 clutches last year, but did race over 100 1/4miles

 

Peccy: Excellent times mate. Lots of g/boxes/clutch/flywheels though!

...I havent had mine timed before but will be V happy if if get much the same as yours.

...I probably average 4 highly revved standing starts each month and haven't had any problems with mine (car 4years old now with 40k on clock. I've had it for 30,000mls and over 2 years)...still on orignal clutch too...Sometimes get a strong burning smell in cabin, which I assume is the clutch. Sometimes bit difficult to select all gears straight after standing starts...never much of a problem though.

..am off to the 'for sale' forum to see if a can buy a clutch/flywheel jus in case.

...is it worth buying uprated ones?...midlandimpreza advised me original is more than strong enough to cope with my mods.

Regards,

Bob

 

anybody any tips on tyre pressures?

 

Ive only managed a 13.99 @ 95mph

 

16vmarc: Was that standard though mate?

 

12.97 (soon to drop!)

with a pretty much standerd engine
panel filter, samcos
half a exhaust system
dawse device
97 wrx

 

sub 13secs..wow...must have the boost cranked up some then!?

Do you know what your bhp is?

 

97wrx is 260-280 hp with a larger turbo than uk cars, still, thats going some!!!

 

Bob, no its not standard. Has PPP, stainless centre section if thats ppp or not and green air filter.

 

Hi Bob

My best time was at Crail raceway.

MY99 uk turbo 53k miles
Mods
Tek 2.5
Downpipe, full decat exhaust with scoobysport backbox(now firestorm), k&n induction kit and Forge VTA dump valve
Run on optimax
Launch at 4-4.5k rpm
13.604 @ 101.1mph.
I run 32 psi on toyo proxes.

Car rolling roaded at 267.5bhp and 252ft/lb torque.



[Edited by Coulster - 1/11/2004 12:42:49 AM]

 

it was running 281bhp @ the last rolling road day @ approx 1.05bar boost

its currently running 1.3bar peak and 1.1 ish held
its pretty fast for a nigh on standerd engine

12.8 is my next target and i WILL be getting it come the next drag event
it doesnt bother me that much if i get beat on the strip @ the moment becuase i have spent next to nothing at all on the engine mods

current mods are
samco hoses
pannel filter
cat back exhaust
dawse device

octane booster?
ohh yeah its currently got a td04 fitted as my last VF22 turbo died just before christmas
planning a td05 conversion tho

 

Whys yours so quick micky?

 

Yep that seems very quick indeed...
I ran a 13.04 so into the 12's is dam good... nice one u must be the launch king Sticky... You'll be hireing out you services next!

For launching that-is not any kind of bodily things!

 

I have a UK MY98 with 267bhp and 296LB

Best times to date are 4.7 sec 0-60 (Trax2003) and 13.04 1/4mile (Jap Performaance Show)

Big mods planned over the next few months so I'm hoping for mid to low 12's for this season

Peccy's described the launch method perfectly
