I was just wondering if anyone else thinks we should start up a thread for people to put in their current power figures and 1/4 mile times for their stageas and the mods done to their car to achieve these figures?

I know there is a section on the forum for something like this for skylines, but I think it would be beneficial for this stagea section to have something like this so other owners can get an idea of what figures everyone else is getting and the mods required to do so without having to ween through hundreds of skyline figures?

I don't think too many people have taken their madwagons to the track. I read somewhere a bout someone having an 11sec stagea, and also RB26VL is putting his RB26DETT into his wagon, so i'm betting it'll be a force to be wreckened with

Yeah - no figures (or mods!) for me yet... but for any1 who doesnt already have it - I've got the video clip of the 11sec pass if anyone wants it emailed (its also somewhere on here I think but cant find the link)... just PM me so we dont clog this thread with requests for it to be emailed.

:rofl:

I'm one of them lone. As soon as I install my SAFCII (which is on the way) get it tuned and find someone who can cure the mysterious high rev miss shes developed I'll be running it down the qaurter. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes. 2nd of april I think is the meet I want to run at. Still got a little while yet.

Not sure. The mechanic said they are iridium somethings. He said they suck because you cant tell if they are buggerered or noy by looking at them. He said it might be a shitty plug but he doesn't really think that is the problem. It's weird. It just started doing it one day.

Three days after buying mine in Brissy I took it down Willow Bank. Had no idea how i should drive it (as too buttons pushed in, and still had the pram and suit cases in it). Beat most cars on the launch but lost time in the first hundred feet until around the 100 - 120 km mark then it started to pull. But best i could do was 16.1s. Stock standard no mods done. Car is now in Darwin and will see how it goes when the next season starts here.

Cheers ICE

Sounds exactly like my car ICE12, by the time you start getting some good go just after 100 you already have gone over the finish.. The launch sounds like mine as well, a big bog down :cheers:

burkey22: Try some of the NGK 0.8mm gapped ones, I put them in and they seem to have fixed the problem, Ill try and find the aprt number with you.. Not worth the extra $$ for the iriduim, I can get them dirt cheap (my work is a NGK distrubutor) but with how rich the motor can run at times and if you have plans for more boost etc. you'll end up fouling up the iridiums, best to replace every 20,000kms and have a nice clean set that you know for certain :( The realy key is, what gap where the plugs that were used? 0.8mm seems to be ideal against the recommened factory 1.1mm

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
