With Mickey Thompsons try closer to 5500rpm launch mate.

I wish i could have changed it on the night but i didnt bring the laptop with me.

having the dampers set all the way down isnt necessarily helping. thats not how suspension actually works.

you want the car to absorb some part of the power and to squat plus stay squatted.

having your damper set to zero is just gonna let the car bounce and rob you of power off the line whilst inducing wheelspin.

turn the dampers back up until you can feel the car solidly squat and stay down on a decent launch. A nice firm squat, not a free fall to the floor.

Thanks, I'll try this next time, is there no point changing the spring rates for the rear? Has BC racing BR coilies with 6kg on the rears as standard i believe.

What was your 60ft? With worn semi slicks and circuit spec Bilsteins I ran a 12.9 @114mph with a 2.2 60ft with about 234rwkws. I didnt launch the car hard as was worried about std RB20 box. Just ride the clutch and touch the limiter in 1st if you are getting wheelspin and shift smoothly, not snatching or you just rip skids :)

LOL, thats my advice having done all of about 10 qtr mile runs in my life :) (oh my car weighed 1345kgs with 10L of fuel in it at PI weighbridge)

2.325 sec. Yea i did tend to just hammer through the gears, and when i changed back to my federal RSR's they did lose a bit of traction..

its definitely a balance between spring rate and damper control, but thats not to say you wont be able to improve on it without changing the springs.

keep the car focused on its primary use and work with with youve got for the rest.

for me im building my car for mostly circuit and hill climbs, so the suspension is mostly thought out for that but i will be fiddling with settings to try and do my best at the strip. things i can change then change back.

That's funny landscribble. I went to willowbank a couple of months ago and got 13.6 @ 109 as my best time too. Same turbo as you, was 355whp on 18psi, 98ron at the time. First time to the drags, so very terrible 60fts, I'm no good at launching at all, but still had a great time and learned a lot. Although from what I'm told my end mph won't vary much except if power or weight significantly changes, even if I learn to launch properly.

Provided you squeeze it down the whole run that is correct.

Quicker you get to the end the slower your mph

Back to back on the same car you mean? It would have to be a fairly drastic time difference though I think.

Last time I was at the drags I was watching 8s fail off the line and do a 14, then link it up right and do a low 12. Traps both runs within 1 or 2mph.

Surely an RB25 at ~250rwkws, which would be rather tractable power at that level could bag an EASY 115mph given an R33-34 weight and a 2.4sec 60ft time? I know I ranged between 112-114mphfor my 13.4-12.9 runs with a 234rwk. Difference was the 2.4 and 2.2 60ft times

Been busy lately modifying the TD06xx turbine housing to suit my current manifold and dump, and finally got every thing fitting up nicely:

Above is our billet SL2 20G. I will refer it as XTDSL2-B20G

With the current SS2's tune this turbo is very responsive. Feels very similar to the SS1PU, Tune is booked on For Tuesday. I'm hopping for close to the 350rwkws mark.

lol cant believe they are playing breaking benjamin at the drags. thats awesome.

landscribble who tuned the car? the run looks/sounds indicative of the power your trap suggests.

Are you saying SS1pu response with 350rwkw on 98 or is this an E85 estimate?

Sounds pretty impressive either way :)

With the new billet 20G comp wheel, I did a trail run with it using a much larger turbine and it stopped making power at 344rwkws. So assume the SL2 turbine can out flow the compressor then it should make no differences in peek power, while getting much better response. I will complete the ext gate trail on the SS1PU and do a comparison on both compare to a standard cast SL2 20G.

haha yea theres some choice songs on their playlist.. Mark from C-Red tuned the car.

Some update for today's tune, We've tuned both billet 20G and 25G with SL2 10CM turbine. (Happy birthday to Trent by the way :P ).

First the Sl220G, or I should call it Sl220.5G since I've fitted the SS2's comp wheel. It maxed out at 348rwkws at 20psi (peek 22psi).

Nice and fat power band. Good response with plenty of mid range torque.

And this is our billet T67.5 with a customized profiled 25G wheel. It did match expectation as its made 390rwkws by 7000RPMs on stock cams. my 3inch exhaust with external gate plumb back becomes restrictive at this point, with a 3.5inch exhaust and an atomspherical external gate I should be able to rid of that dip up top and just touch 400rwkws.

Compare to Ebay T67, This one is slightly laggier, Lot more power in mid and upper range. I didn't have to rev it over 8000RPMs to get that power either.

Stao do you have cam gears in your car? Power peaking in your car at 6800 is unusual for a T67, all the other results have made power right up and past 8000rpm. All your results seem to have strong late mid range and then fall over top end, cam gear timing is the only thing I can think of? Have you talked to Trent about it, I do remembering him commenting on something similar in the past

Good result, would hammer!

Thanks for the comment. The comp wheel blade is quite different to the 25G, and I was hopping to get that power without doing 8000RPMs+. The car has stock cam gears. Cams are very maxed. I have a 3inch exhaust with 100cell cat with external gate plumbed back in. Trent said that is getting restrictive. I'm getting some screamer pipe made and probably do one more run on it.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
