All,

 

just bought a dragy and i have to say it is brilliant .

it connects to phone and does gps refresh every .100 sec and quite accurate

 

running on low boost with falken tyre i get a 0-60 of 4.6 sec but if I practice more I think i can get it down to 4 as it doesn’tgrip

 

do you guys shift into 2nd as soon as it is rolling to get fast 0-60 ? If i leave in first then 0-60 is around 5.5 

 

i stick it to 2nd as soon as I have wheel spin and it bounces from red line and then get mid 4

 

on high boost which I haven’t tried (500bhp) i reckon it will be 3.8 if i can get power down

 

on low boost it is 430 bhp

"G4" doesn't give us enough info, there are G4 Fury, G4 Xtreme, G4 Thunder... etc

I'm trying to work out what is your base spring pressure and max boost pressure and if your ECU has traction control functionality. 

If you turn boost control off, how much boost does your turbo make?

It runs at  1 bar spring apology not 1.2

 

ecu is link plug in, see link below

my tuner at time said it needed some work for traction so we disabled it all together and there is no traction

 

low boost is 1.1 bar and high boost is 1.3 which is changed by a switch

How do you guys get grip when accelerating?

 

shift to gear up at expense of less power initially but grip?

Your computer can set lower boost levels in the lower gears.

Different suspension set ups.

Drag friendly tyres.

You could lower your base spring pressure to say, 0.5 bar and then use a 4 port mac valve and run a very progressive boost by gear. 

You could setup your traction control. You haven't said why it doesn't work, I'm guessing you need a non-powered wheel speed sensor. 

Stickier tyres as mentioned above. 

Actually I think this has all been said before, this thread and your recent tyre thread.

Yep and that is not with flooring it

 

0-60 is around 5 sec at best 

got pair of michellen sport 4s so will report back if it got any lower

Let us know what tyre size your running when you report back

So tyre made a massive difference 

 

pilot 4s rear 275

 

front is pilot 4 which doesn’t really matter for acceleration. 0-60 went from 5.3 to 4.8 a wopping 0.5 sec !!!!

 

it sticks like a glue, i can’t even spin wheel on first or hardly it does. It used to spin like hell on first and second on shitty falken

Dragy is awesome! We use one in my car at roll racing to see if the changes are working. Fastest 100-200 is currently 4.11s, with the old turbo. New one I've done a 4.25 on 30psi in the middle of summer. Should go mid 3s now we've got it turned up if we can get it to hook up.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
