I don't think you have 200rwkw if your getting 2.1sec 60ft times and only running 13.9 ET...
Their is an absolute sh1tload more to it than just "power = xyz ET". 60ft, midrange vs topend, quickness of gear shifts, track conditions are just to name a few.

An example would be last week I raced against an SAU member in identical cars whom I believe has about 50hp more than my car yet I was doing 4mph quicker TS than him, but he had a 0.2sec quicker ET. Using your theory he should have a higher TS than myself but the reality was he was nailing his gear shifts where as I was having difficulty.

Anyone that thinks 1/4 mile racing is as simple as dropping a clutch and putting your foot on the throttle for 400m is kidding themselves.

this is in another thread as well, 200+rwkw with 18" 265 35. olims susp, i was managing 13.4 at 171kph with 1st gear wheel spin, In april i am organising a canberra SAU WSID run, for that i will be running the 33 with 16" 225 65 slicks, should break into the 12's

as an example I ran 13.7 ET with a 60ft of 2.4 and I have about 200rwkw with similar mods to yours...

leads me to my next question what was your MPH?... as I reckon 2.1 ain't that bad with street tyres and should be good for low 13s ET

god damn it....dont people READ these days ????????????????

I said it was a happy dyno......and im doubtful of that figure myself...

Sorry....I know your just trying to help but sick of people repeating the same shit over and over again...

hahhaha and john....your more than welcome to try driving my car.....but you bend it you mend it.

Guarantee you wont be able to break 14s..... :tongue:

There is obviously more to drag racing than just the car or just a power figure.

Why else would Paul and Stacey be 1 full second apart in the same car?

Why did I get 13.8 with 189rwkw and 13.5 with 228rwkw?

Why did Brenden - ECR033 - get a 12 with 200rwkw? Sam got one at that power too from memory.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
