1/4 mile times on a manual GTS-t?

[[TWUBLE]]

Hey guys, just wondering what a good 1/4 time is for a R32 GTS-t? I went to the Nightspeed Drag Wars on at meremere and ran a 14.6 (first time at the drags actuallly racing.) with a 0.731 reaction time....
Car only has a remapped computer, 3" Stainless Mandrell bent HKS Superdrag exhaust with TRUST Highflow cat and resignator, GAB Adjustable suspension and about 13psi boost...
is that a good reaction time ? haha or do i need more practice... i got told i should be able to run a 13.5 at best.... but i think that myte be pushing it!
anyone?

Depending on track conditions that is really asking a lot for the mods you have done.
My last run at meremere in my T.

Mods:
War Motorsports turbo upgrade
Bosch Motorsports racing pump
Nismo Fuel pressure reg set to 3 bar at idle
Trust Airinx Pod
Custom 3" straight through exhaust (Al's Mufflers)
Front Mount intercooler
Trust Type R blow off valve.
Turbo Smart Bleed valve. (boost set to 14 psi)
Factory computer
Facotry injectors

Power 170kw at the wheels at Torque Performance

Best run was a 13.88 @ 104.6 mph
R/T .533

Wheelspin through first two gears and into third. Track was slippery should have been a very low 13 sec pass. Tyres at full 35psi, full tank of fuel and full interior.

thanks
we softened the bound on my car to the max and lowered the tyre pressure back to like 20psi just for the drags. I think the main thing i need to work on is my launch... although ive got a launch control unit ordered for me i still need to work on the launch. but was HEAPS of fun none the less!!!

Hows the GTR going? I think last time i saw you you had only just got it....

Razor: i thought you would had may more power at the wheels that that in a GTR!!! I thought stock it would have been around there. My gts-t is around 170rwkw, and thats with only a few mods done to it.

Ethan,

I think you missed the bit in Razor's post where he said this was in his "T", meaning R32 GTS-t.

That was my GTS-t that had that power. Now before you go thinking it is not much the dyno that those figures came from is a very conservitive dyno. Some recent figures to compare with.

1997 WRX STI 156kw
91 GTR 186kw
93 EVO 153 kw
91 GTSt with big bore, pod, fmic, link,440cc injectors, 1 bar boost, upgraded fuel pump, nismo fuel pressure reg. 152kw

So for my lil GTS-t to throw 170kw that would put it up with the GTR's in performance which would make sence since I kept up fine with another GTR that threww 222 kw on that same dyno. You can not compare dyno's as they all throw different numbers and we at SDU proved it. As much as 18% different from one to another. I would bet your car would throw about 150kw on the Torque performance dyno, and yours is a 25T not a 2 liter. Trust me Wraith32 has seen that car go and been in it and it was a wicked machine. It would shit all over my current GTR once hooked up, but getting traction at 1bar is not easy until third gear.

40RCD now australia's quickest skyline used to run 13.4 @ 108mph with these mods: 3 inch exhaust from the turbo, air filter, 14.5 psi boost, automatic, avgas and timing!!

another car subzero did was a R32 GTR, 3 inch exhaust (std dumps), 18psi, std turbos, racing fuel and timing ran a 11.7 @ 121mph.

Man I wish New Zealand drag strips were like those in the States or OZ.

Hey, looking at my mods above... do i need a dump pipe? Im saving up for a Link Plus computer at the moment... and then a fmic and then possibly a surge tank and bosch motorsports fuel pump (porsche 911 model)... but is a dump pipe necessary? or do they just make noise?

[SlowGts-t]

Thought I might add this

Er.. Reaction times have no bearing on ET.

and do the fuel pump first Will save you grief in the long run

60' times are an indication of how good a launch you got. I think Razor was in the 2.5-2.8 second range, indicating that he would get a 13 flat if he got a decent launch.

[[TWUBLE]]

Its already got a semi highflow fuel pump in it which will do for now... the LINK PLUS will help greatly... but id rather get the link first then the cooler then the pump and surge tank... Ive had a guy look at the car and he suggested for the setup ive got and what i want to achieve thats the best way... and when thats all done im either installing a T04 turbo (i think thats what its called) or getting my turbo balanced...
Im not really going for extreme power... just a vast increase on what i have at the moment.

[[TWUBLE]]

oh... yeah i know that reaction time has nothing to do with the ET but i thought id put that in there... my avg reaction time is around 1.1 so haha i need some practice thats for sure!!!

[RazorGTR]

Here is a run in which I did a 13.884.

R/T .554
60' 2.638
1/8 mile 9.118 @ 78.47mph
1/4 13.884 @ 107.20mph

I was still wheel spinning until nearly the 200' mark and the 1/8 mile time reflects that. Since it took me 9.118 sec to reach half track yet only another 4.7 sec to cover the last 1/8 mile.

[PVL-747]

here is a little example: say you run a 13.5 @ 112mph with a 60ft of 2.2 sec. now you've had quite a bit of wheel spin. if you were to bolt on slicks and say you ran 1.7 sec 60ft, so the difference is .5 sec, now double it = 1.0 sec off the 1/4 mile. therefore you could possibly run 12.50's IF you run a 1.7sec 60ft. you basically double whatever you make up on the 60ft mark and subtract from your E.T.

i ran a 14.6 at 93mph with 2.2 60ft (not because of lack of traction TOO much bogged down hard) it was a really warm night to

my car has 146rwkw last time it was dyno'd
