Hi guys back out at the creek again.

This time with 311kw at the wheels.

I'm still having a little bit of trouble off the line.

the only spot on pass i did i managed the 12.0 at 128mph.

Next time we do out we don't want anything less than 133mph.

before anyone says you won't get that, we will run another 5 psi on top of what we had before.

Also on the 12.0 we ran with 18psi next time we wil drop it to 15 as thats the pressure we ran on the last two.

one my last run i forgot to put the traction control back on, this resulted in lots and lots of wheel spin all the way down the track untill i got into forth.

as for wheel spin, yes with the traction control on it still does spin through third but we limit it with the motec.

Cheers

My guess is it needs some serious suspension work, like all front wheel drive drag cars it will benefit a lot from a decent set up. What spring rates are you running? Shocks? Camber? Toe?

Personally I wouldn't be worried about more power until you can use the power that you currently have.

:P cheers :)

The front end will cost us about 3k to get sorted where as we believe there is a good 100kw more in the power side of things.

New products wich will go onto the car in the future.

1.Hypertune billet plenum

2.Hypertune billet 76mmTB

3.New turbine housing.

4.ARC 100mm front mount

5.ELF race fuel

6.More RPM

7.More boost

I wouldn't recommend that approach. ET is king.

I 100% agree with Kenny, no use in having mph and a would of, could of, should of ET

I know with my old set up I ran 128mph and it was good for what ever ET but the best I ever ran was 11.7 so really it was a high 11 sec car no matter what the mph said as thats the best It ever did

You don't need to go to that extent to improve the ET's.

Have you had it on a wheel aligner and looked at the front end dynamic camber change? What about bump steer? Keep more of the tyre in contact with the track surface, $100 well spent.

Have you checked the corner weights? If not, there is a good gain there for almost zero cost.

If you are not running at least 1,000 lbs per inch springs in the rear that that's a start. Lessen the weight transfer off the front wheels, $300 well spent.

There are so many simple things that you could do, I bet there is at least 1/2 second in it with a mimimal spend and a day's work.

:P cheers :laugh:

Man I have so much that I just don't know about drag racing...

This is the most refreshing statement re: drag racing I have ever read on this forum.

You're my favourite person of the week, Dan. Congrats!

:D

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
