Well, all you guys know my Stageea and basically whats done to it.

I have split front/dump from batmbl, $440 catco cat from him too, fuji catback (very quite, with mid muffler), FMIC (not really power mod), pipercross panel filter (again, minor) and was using 10psi of boost....all untuned. These are all my power mods, the rest is all chassis/handling :P. So its not TOO far off a stock car, mid mods.

Not sure what power to expect with that, but i think somewhere around the 140awkw mark maybe? Just because the catback is really quiet, its also a tad restrictive. No worries to me.

So, the runs I did were

Run 1:

2.475 60 foot

[email protected]

This run was my first ever at a drag strip, i was peaking. I made some mistakes rushing things and got a poor launch. Also, O/D was off

Run 2:

2.139 60 foot

[email protected]

This was text book. I didnt rush at the lights, reaction time was 4 seconds because i was spooling. Handbrake on, till it was creeping... launch!

Run 3:

2.414 60 foot

[email protected]

....I launched and forgot the handbrake on.

Run 4:

2.196 60 foot

[email protected]

Again, this was a good launch, built boost, o/d was on for run 2/3/4 as it seemed better.

So, best was 14.7@92mph

Not too shabby if I say myself. Standard SS's and XR6T's were just not able to crack into the 14's, they were doing low 15's. So... there we go.

Anyone else want to post up a list of mdos and also ET's and trap speeds?

I went to the drags to test my car pre manualizing.

Ill post up in this thread when i get my car dynoed pre manual and let everyone know my power. Then after the manual ill chuck it on the dyno and let everyone know my power, then off to the drags again. But this car isnt being modded to going in a staight line, remember that, but it will sure hold its own on the street...specially in the wet.

Cheers

No too sure what it was stalling up too. It was probably around the 2500-2750 RPM range.

Because I didnt do a burnout, i had a long time to stage. So id roll up, stage, gear 1, handbrake, hand on release, get ready, wait for other guy to stage, stall, booost boost boost, handbrake/brake off, floor it, hand on gearstick, shift at 6k

Well done Alex, some good times there! I put the Stag on the rollers (pfc had dramas so is not installed) and got 202 at the wheels. I will be running it down the strip in a couple of months when the season starts again.

Well done alex! my old r33 with ~180rwkw I took to the drags just before I sold it and best I could crack was a 14.1, but that was mainly because I am crap at the drags and wheelspun most of the way, but still, 14's is a great time!!

I cant wait for mine to be tuned then I'll be off to the drags to see what it can do :)

Might be an idea to start a new thread, just for 1/4 mile times. We have a sticky thread like that in the qld section, which works well as you can then post up what you got then later down the track after mods post up again and see the difference and compare with other times.

Be nice to have one just for stageas :)

Well done again alex!

Alex, do you still have the standard ECU? If so, you should have taken a laptop and dumped what everything was doing over the 1/4.. If you go again give me a yell, as I can lend you a laptop and cable (and my software is just about done.. :-)

Stock ECU, stock auto box with my screwed torque converter (it woo's a lot, since my going in revserse down a hill when in D)

I want to weigh the car soon, see what it is.

We should start a 1/4 mile thread, but i dont think anyone/only few others have been down the 1/4..?

As soon as i can find someone selling a bloody r32/33 GTR gearbox with transfer case and shifter, + 2 weeks labour.

But at this point, ill have a powerFC so no logging etc...

I am sure it isnt too different to some midnight action on a country road, we can arrange something one night before manualizing?

I am hoping so! It weighs 1703kg dry and no driver so that will hurt a bit.

Ken let me know when you are going as I will take mine along for some fun. We could race and I then could tellyou how good your car looks from behind, that's if i can see that far a head of me, LOL.

Ian, I've looked into a daughterboard for the series 1 stagea ECU, and it's similar to the R33 ECU, so it doesn't have the 40 pin header :)

But i've found it does have an external eprom on the mainboard which has external connection points.

We just need to find someone with the knowledge and skill to nut it out.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
