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

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
