hey,

went down to the drags 2night, to see if i could crack a 13 second :mad:

i ran a

13.854 second

Terminal speed: 102.26mph / 165.15kph

Reaction Time: 0.230

60' - 2.261

330' - 5.983

660' - 9.038

660' Speed - 130.69kph

1000' - 11.643

my car is an r33 with stock turbo (0.8bar of boost), hks-cat back, trust front pipe, stock dump, air filter + cai, fmic, ebc and coilovers. (car is kindof setup for drift, suspension wise, the rear was abit bumpy off the line and down the track)

Now for most of the night i was running a WRX sti, he was getting bettwen 13.1 and 13.3 with 166.10kph terminal speed.

My question is what can i do to drop my time into the mids 13's, i was lauching the car at around 2000-3000rpm and slipping the clutch out (i found 2500rpm was the best place to lauch as min wheelspin)

im not that fuss about dropping the time, as i have a new setup going in soon which should see me get around 350rwhp but im just wondering what could i run with type of terminal speed

thanks michael :)

youl find you were losing time against the WRX in the 60 foot time

( thanxs to has AWD I bet he was getting 1.8 compared to your 2.2), which is why your term speeds are similar but his ET is 0.6/0.7 sec better. You gotta get your 60 foot time down-better launch-more revs(2500 is a soft launch)-so more grip in a 2 wheels drive car so maybe Nittos -maybe better clutch also that you can launch harder against-then you will be looking at 13.4 or 13.5@ 103 mph

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
