Robo: Are you planning that high 11/low 12 on street legal rubber or drag slicks? What power are you getting with the 2535?

My car wont be ready for a few weeks still :P. With my new combo i am capping the power at about 260rwkw, i have been told that it should make about 280rwkw, but i have a std bottom end and would like to keep it in one piece for a little while :lol:.

I ran 12.55 on my normal street Sumituno's. Now ive got much stickier rubber (Toyo Ra1's which are street legal) and with a bit more power, i reckon i could go close. My 60's before where 2.0/2.1, if i can bring that down to 1.8, thats 0.2 a difference, generally you can double it over the whole 1/4, say 0.4. And more power, it will go close

:P That's a top effort!

Well remind me to line up behind you, as i am hopeless at drag racing :(, but occationally like to have a punt. I much prefer track work, as my car has been set up for that :).

robos , i d love to hear how you go with those toyos. im in the middle of trying to work out which way to go with tyres - run drag radials or semi slick tyres. i wouldnt mind coming down on friday . how much stickier is the drag strip compared with the street? would i crack a 12 on 245/40 dunlop lemans with 277rwkws??? probably be wasteing my time hey?

Well i dont know how good those Lemans are, but for example, on the street my sumitunos would spin every time in second gear when hitting boost. First gear is useless. But on the track i could actually get traction in first gear under full throttle. With the amount of rubber that goes on the surface during the drags, traction is heaps better than the street. If your not too abrupt with the clutch and power on take off, you might be surprised with the power you can get down. I was consistantly doing 2.0/2.1 with my street setup which i run the stiff Tein suspension.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
