i thought so!!!:) I guess it all depends on what cars your comparing doesnt it, sure GOT BOOST's r32 would be more difficult to get down the strip than a r32 running similar times but you said rwd so what about a 454 lx torana with trans brake, auto 2 speed and a high stall, that would be pretty damn easy to get down the strip as opposed to a big turbo'd manual, irs 9sec GTR!!! So i will still say it was narrow minded!!! :)

umm 472bhp?!?!? Is that at the wheels?? 350rwkw?!?!

 

An RB20t??? Damn nice time even if it isn't.. :P

 

I almost find it hard to belive it is an RB20t... Care to share the basic setup?!

 

EDIT: Ahhh it appears its the might RB26DETT. :D

350rwkw isnt that unachieveable, i hope to have that as a minimum once i have finished my rebuild. I currentally have 223rwkw with moderate boost and a small turbo.

It is if you want the motor to be reliable.

To make that sort of power you need huge rev's, lots of lag and lack of streetability.

The use of a small exhaust a/r to reduce lag is also out the window as due to the small capacity of the rb20t you run in to surge issues.

Just as an example an RB20t turbo on a RB30DET will make peak power around 3700-4000rpm. That same turbo on the rb20t made peak power at 7000rpm.

15" NANKANG cross plys.

Were they $90 like I said ??? I hope so. Seemed cheap to me.

fresh and others - Slicks tend to wander i.e. walk side to side as you accelerate down the drag strip. They don't have steel belts like radial tyres to keep their shape and are more prone to shape change during a run which is where this wandering comes from.

If you have radial tyres on the front and slicks on the back, the result is often fishtailing, sometimes quite badly, as the radials drive straight ahead and the back wants to step out side to side.

I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of being crossed up at the end of a run @ 100mph+ :P

Front runners are cross-ply tyres just like slicks that let the front wander along with the back. They are usually quite thin (skinny) to help reduce the rolling resistance of the front end.

Hope this helps.

i wish $90 i had to pay $130ea here i couldnt find anyone except 1 dealer and he said he imports them privately. doesnt matter for awhile now as the clutch has said enuff to launching on the slicks. still managed a 11.2 last weds i was hoping to crack that 10.

What clutch are you running...price?

my clutch is a GTR pressure plate (recon) with brass button fiction plate. It finally died last weds. until i started using slicks it lasted quite well. My car makes 100hp more than it used too since cams and turbo upgrade so that hasnt helped the clutch much, i have a HKS twin plate to fit when i get keen enough.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
