Come on boys.. put out your numbers

[TRBOCHK]

So.... all of us that had to work today are wondering... how did all you guys and girls (if sahara and kim ran) do???? put up some numbers.

[DSM614]

Everyone is really tired. I had a great time and it was fun getting beat by almost everyone.

Best there was a 14.3 @ 98. untuned, tire spinning crazyness.

A few AWD's broke too, so, so sad.

[Jarod]

13.3 @ 108 new pr Definetly see 12's in her

[Dweet]

15.7 was experiencing some kind of fuel issue. Im thinking its fuel cut because my spark plugs are white on the tips

[turbomark]

12.000 @ 115. Dweet do you have an egt gauge? Usually when the engine runs waaay to hot the plug tips will turn white. Check your air fuel ratios.

[integranator]

no one else has any numbers?

[MitsubishiGirl]

Did everyone notice at the very end who all was still running over and over again? FWD were ruling the end lol It was fun sitting in the middle watching-gives you an entire different perspective of the race. And I got to flip the switch to the tree when my Sammy took his last run for the day. :D
Today was a lot of fun...probley the best we've ever had. Definately better than being at trails!

[Gunner]

Best pass of the day: 1/4: 12.751, MPH: 117.85

Best MPH: 118.33




Hurt the motor a tad on the last pass of the day trying to give Whitlow the business end of a 120mph pass.

[fvee21]

13.91 @ 100.4

Now if I can just learn how to launch (2.1 60?) and get a new clutch into the car I will be all set.

Shad

[Mike C]

My best was 11.69 @ 123.50. Not much of an improvement from before, but I feel alot better about things. With Tym's help, we discovered that my POS turbo's flapper arm was missing its bushing keeping it to flap open all the time which has been the problem with my car not holding boost all season.

I did however, have alot of fun this time. I was able to launch and drive the car much better and pull a couple 1.6x 60' times so I feel better about driving the car to its potential based on the way its running. It was alot of fun to take people for rides and especially to have the Bean make a pass in it. He's helped me so much the past 2 years so it was great to see him have some fun (and run down Turbomark at the end:D ).

Ironically, my 11.69 pass was with a 1.90 60':o

[Mike C]

Oh....

and I snapped a rear axel on my last pass;)

mad powa yo!@#

[turbomark]

BR 580 and couldnt chase down a 16g talon til 4th gear... I'll consider that a victory in my book and he wouldnt have caught me if i hadnt missed third! :cool

:fruity

[SmokinEAGLE]

Quick post, ill give details later. 12.88 @ 112.82. 2 other 12.90s a handful of 13.00s, one 2.0 60' a few 2.1s, best mph 112.89. With my car it was make it or break it as far as 60' vs ETs ranging 13.5s-12.88 with 20 runs. Gunner ran a best of 13.5@109 in my car.

Wait. Street tires, my newb tune, 24psi bleeding to 21psi from 6-7k rpm.

Finally. Eat it.

The Bean completely missed 2nd and let the car almost stall.

Bean's first pass ever down a dragstrip>Turbomark :booty

[turbomark]

but i drove home :cool ... albeit very timidly and with a slipping clutch. I believe on that run i hit middle 12's and he hit like a 12.3-.4 or so... i dont have the slip so i couldnt tell you exactly.

yes I have an EGT gauge. I just need to get it installed. Its hard to find an a-pillar pod for a 95 elantra =P
Actually im going to end up buying another gauge cluster and hacking it up

don't get an a piller then... get a regular bolt on pod and attach it on top of your steering column. It's 10 times easier to see it there than above everything else and to the left

I guess you weren't launching hard enough then.............:)

Those 1.9 second 60's are BRUTAL. :p

yeah but then i need to find a place for my TT and it will be blocking my view of my AVC-R which Im having trouble of finding another place to locate

[turbomark]

you can put a turbo timer anywhere... glove box, center console... etc. An egt gauge is possibly the most important gauge you have and having it in the same line of site as other gauges you'll be using during a race (tach) is vital imo. You dont really need to look at your avcr all that regularly either.

[Dweet]

well im using my AVCR as a tach and boost gauge so i look at it alot. But Im going to hack up another elantra gauge cluster and do what JP did

[talon guy]

my best was a 13.03 at 107...but i wont be seeing any track time for a while now:(

[Iwishiwascool]

First: I bow to mark's non nitrous superiority. He is the proud winner of $25 bucks since I was not able to give him a run.

I had a bad day.

Stupid mistake 1: I sprayed my first pass without making sure everything was running properly. Very dumb. It broke up in every gear and I managed a 12.6, with a 50 shot mind you. I followed it up with a 12.7 sprayed run. I was pissed. I followed that up with a 12.4 non sprayed run. I still havent figured out what was wrong with that.

Stupid mistake 2: After changing my plugs, I didnt make sure my studdering was fixed... and sprayed anyway. In third gear I blew the head gasket shortly after the shift. Pulling the plugs revealed a destroyed cyl 3 plug and coolant in 4.

The VP, being the most amazing man alive, waited behind for AAA to fetch my POFS.

This week ill be changing all the gaskets in hopes of curing my oil leak as well.


What race season would be complete without some track breakage?

[birdsfoot]

man i wish i could have went... but no i had to go to school....:(

[criitter7]

yeah my masive coolant leak was simply a clap not on a rubber line....took 5 secs to fix:rolleyes:

[Gunner]

Yeah, I hope all that I hurt was the headgasket, but those little sparkpluggers like to take out valves on occasion. Hopefully it was melted enough before it passed through there so that it didn't do any damage.

Compression before: 160-170-155-165

After: 160-120-145-165

Oh, and 13.9, something must have been in planetary alignment.. No one wants to hear my compression numbers. :eek

[SmokinEAGLE]

Maybe next time ill "run what yah brung" and happen to bring some slicks and chop that 12.88 down some more. Your're mine gunner.

[Iwishiwascool]

Quickest and fastest 16g in columbus, 9th fastest in the nation (according to dsmtimes.org)

Nitrous doesnt "count" now.

My DSMTimes was submitted as FWD or youd be 10th

:booty

[92tsiawd]

At least you guys broke at the track, I didn't even get there before I broke. Got to love 12 year old DSM's.

So how did Smart Mike run?

Great times Mark!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your luck Josh!

[Mike C]

:booty

BTW Mark, you do realize that everytime someone graduates to a bigger turbo and goes faster, the new time overides their old 16g time on the DSMtimes list. Many people ran 11s on 16g 5-7 years ago.

[Shearer]

JP now has the fastest mph on dsmtimes.org for the turbo he is running. I'm quite surprised.

[Iwishiwascool]

to avoid confusion: JP = Colt driving mexipino dude with the hollow body panels.

[buck531]

I ran a 14.6x something @ 95 or so in my grocery getter. Not the best time. I'm pretty sure the heat was the killer yesterday.

I think I counted in 30ish runs or so.

NEXT time, blah blah, as if the next time I run it'll be with the same junk. Ha.

[Shearer]

Sounds to me like Gunner ran what he brung, SLICKS. Not his fault you were unprepared and now you're already making excuses.

[SmokinEAGLE]

No excuses. Just Friendly competition.

Or should i just bow down to the Gunner?

[Gunner]

Oh, and Whitlow, I have still trapped higher than you on street tires, and you've seen those sweet street tires I was running on. :D

[buck531]

Na.. the TGP and the Bonneville was MEANNN!.

My tranny is REALLY hating me today.. :(. This sucks. :confused

[supercolt]

Nice runs Mark glad to see you having success with her. I knew there was alot more in the tank when I built it. Congrats. By the way this is Pete.

[XxDsMbAbYgRlxX]

good runs boys! sorry to hear about all the breakage! i wish my car would of waited til track day to break.

[Jarod]

and it was THE BEANS first and only pass... :eek

[turbomark]

Well perhaps i'll be in the market for a turbo upgrade sometime soon... then i can legitimately run with mike c... at least until he gets the thing running like it should.

[Mike C]

I'll bet you $100 right now that if we take my BR580 off my car and bolt it onto yours, that you won't trap the 115 you are now. Big setups are tough. Sometimes you have to take 1 step backwards to go 2 steps forward.

[turbomark]

I dont want to take a big step. I'd lean more towards a 20g or fp green or something kinda middle of the road. I just want to be able to hold my 25 psi to redline... i have no need to run 30-35 psi on my car and no desire to upgrade everything else in my fuel system to do so.

[Mike C]

My point is: the differences from here on out for you are going to get subtle for the amount of money you will start spending. Look at Luong's setup for example. He's got a 20g, external, VPC, running 25-27PSI and trapping 117-118 on his best passes. His traps are kind of maxed out unless he does some headwork or at least gets some cams.

It just gets harder and harder as the ET starts to get around or under 12.0 and the MPH to go with it.

[Jarod]

Explain what this has to do with the 580?

+1111!

I'm done with the cheap stuff. Now I need forged internals, head work, good intake manifold, etc. Then I'm going to need something like the EMS. But dammit, I'm going to beat that damn 600RR from a roll.

[Stanislav94]

15.616 @ 88.50 2.271 60' that's my best so far, had a great time.

[Gunner]

How are those front tires holding up Stas?

[SmokinEAGLE]

kid did more burnouts than the Colt.

[Stanislav94]

Lol, they still got some tread on them, probably should rotate them to the back though. I probably got a little carried away, but i got a few 2.2 60's and i guess I would like to think that it was due to warming up the tires, probably not though.

[Stanislav94]

There is plenty left....

[DQ Driver]

seven - 1.6 sixty foots

six - 11.8x's
two - 11.9x's
three - 12's (yawn)

[sandman_1221]

I ran what i usually run 13.8's at least my car is really consistent. And I think I over heated my clucth. if not I'm the 1st person on the board to roast a 6 puck clutch.

[Gunner]

You didn't damage it, you just can't slip a copper disk like you can with an organic one. If you get it too hot it will slip.

[99blownyellowgt]

Me 12.7@112 with a 2.0 60ft on drag radials dont understand how i couldnt get better 60ft times. The best was a 1.9. Not happy with it at all. So therefore i now have an excuse to drop 2-3 grand on suspension upgrades and a better clutch, since it was slipping, to get me where i want to be.:D
Sahara ran a 14.8 @96 i believe from the 1st run to the last she improved 3 sec.
I only ran a 14.6@98 with her car so im proud of her.

Its on the long list of stuff to do. It costs about 1200 for the intercooler setup unless anybody can help me fab one up for cheaper:D :D :D

You used more letters to make fun of my name than it would have to just spelled it out.:D

[Baluchitherium4]

I went several 12.8's and a few 12.9s all in the 110mph range.


There was one pass that said I went 12.4@114 but I think it was bogus. It said I had a 1.89 60ft. which is possible because I've cut several in the mid 1.9s before. However, it's not consistent with what the car ran the rest of the day. I'm not sure if I want to claim that or not.

Definately a high 12 second car though. Only 3 mods too! ;)

[SmokinEAGLE]

Top 50 FWD, Top 25 2g FWD, Top 10 16g FWD, Top 5 2g 16g FWD. http://www.dsmtimes.org/fwd.htm

*Thats if Ken is taken off our list.

[Gunner]

You'll still be outside the top 50 once I nestle into the 45th spot.



BTW, you're a homo for looking that deep into the statistics.

[SmokinEAGLE]

I was bored. It looks like i will have to hire a hitman to take out a couple of the big dawgs.

dude, thats borderline insult to a hispanic. Im PR, and my body panels are not hollow they are in stock form. Dont hate.

When I get real slicks, I will be shooting for 11's at over 120mph with the small 16g, just to see that it can do till the real turbo gets back :)

[Iwishiwascool]

im just salty that I got passed by a fwd economy car.

[2LV8ETR]

My best time was back when jamy had his talon still.
It was a 14.488 at 98 all stock with a K&N box filter and stock boost. It was really hard to get this run at national trails I think my 60ft was like a 2.12. best i ever had in that car. any way just wanted to see if that was good.
