What's it gonna take to put my car in the 11's

[gixxer750]

well....I'm still at 251 hp due to management.. I'm on a 62-1 turbonetics now.

Those numbers are on a dyno dynamics, no correction factor at all. 251 hp and 269 tq on this dyno. For comparison purposes, a honda civic with an h22 turbo running 12 psi on race gas with stock CR put down 199 whp. A bolt on ls1 car put down 215 on the same dyno.

So, in reality probably around 320 whp....

what mph was the 12.6 run and how much does your car weigh?

 

[Boostin88T]

Yeah, dyno dynamics is usually rated low. I made 410rwhp on one.

if you look at any of the "standard" HP/ET/weight calculators, 400 rwhp and a 3500 lb car come in the low 12s....those calculators assume perfect traction- i.e. a serious 60' that you probably won't cut in a MKIII. if you want 11s, your best bet is a sloppy stock suspension, slicks, 450 rwhp or so, supporting mods and a good driver.

the crux of cutting a good 60' in a MKIII is the damage that you'll do. getting a fat, 20 yr old car to cut a good 60' means traction....and traction means breaking stuff. your rear subframe will take a beating. if you have a manual transmission, your clutch will take a beating as will the trans itself. running slicks on a MKIII means you have a very good chance of breaking all sorts of stuff....a choice you have to make.

personally, i've run a best of 12.11 @ 116 on BFG DRs w/a 1.8 60' on hard road race suspension. i chose to run DRs because they're far stickier than street tires, but they're not quite as insaneo as slicks (hopefully providing some margin for my drivetrain...).

 

[suprra_girl]

not exactly techically mathmatical LOL
but personal experience on weight loss & faster et

full weight but no a/c
no spare wheel but everything else

had my 2 racing 16" rims with 225/50/16" tyres in the back (i forgot they were there LMAO)
did a 13.8 1/4

my mum pointed out that i still had the wheels in the back
removed immediately LOL

next 1/4 was 13.66
278whp on 9psi

 

[drjonez]

rule of thumb is .1 off your ET for every 100 lbs....

 

[daledoe]

It is in a CRX...

Because a CRX is as light as a shoe box!!!:biglaugh:

 

[Jspec7m88]

But it's wrong wheel drive. :icon_conf

 

[daledoe]

Ya, I hate CRXs well I hate all hondas. CRXs have like 90HP stock so getting one to have 400HP would be like making a 500 or 600HP supra!!! Plus FWD cars isn't as fun as a RWD car.

Not bad for 278HP :icon_bigg

auto trans, down under dynos.

 

[daledoe]

That makes cents.

 

[gixxer750]

what mph was the 12.6 run and how much does your car weigh?

118 mph, 1.7 60ft on street tires. Very sticky track.

I have some vids of some 8.1 8th miles passes with awesome 60ft, but I don't have a vid of that quarter mile pass.

My car weighs 3310 with me in it.

 

[Jspec7m88]

My car weighs 3310 with me in it.

OMGWTFBBQ, My car weighted 3,328 without me.

What in the world did you take out to make it so light?

Orrrrrr....Do you weigh like 60lbs. :naughty:

you a hard top or a targa???

 

[Jspec7m88]

Hardtop, buddy.

 

[bigaaron]

What's it gonna take to put my car in the 11's

Run on a drag strip that has a 45 degree downgrade.

 

[jkbmkiii]

Hardtop, buddy.

I was going to blame the targa, guess not!
