Damn doing 40 in 5th? My BPU series 5 can't even do 60 in 5th.

 

Hey CJ, when's the next RPNW meeting anyways, next wed at Round Table?

Oh yeah, I did the 40-70 both ways. My car is an 86 na with regular exhaust and intake mods only. (K&N with cold air box, RB headers, high flow cat, RB mufflers, TB mod, advanced timing, RB underdrive pulley). I (185 lbs)was alone with half a tank of gas and my bicycle in back (it fits!), and was as accurate as possible.

2nd gear: 5.0 sec
3rd gear average: 6.1 sec (n=3)

I only did one 2nd gear run because my car dramatically cut out (no power, like running out of gas) at 7500 rpm before blasting up to 8000rpm. probably would have been a 4.7 sec run or less. My car sometimes cuts out a bit anywhere past 6800 rpm in 3rd or 4th gear, but never as bad as this time. WTF? I think I may need a new fuel pump or something.

You must be running the Pineapple Racing sleeves. How do you like those by the way?

To be honest....i put them in when i had the motor ported...so i could'nt realy say for shure. But every little bit helps.

The next meeting is the first wensday of March....i think its the 6th but not shure.

Later, CJ

egads! 6,800 in 4th gear! Where are you doing these top speed runs?

 

I've got a friend with a 1991 NA... I'll try to see if we can get some data by the end of the week

 

87 TII ,5.7, 6.1 and 5.9sec (3rd gear@7psi)
here is my mods:intake ,open exhaust,f-con ,boost controller....

 

I've got a stock 90 NA with just a cone intake.
I'll let you konw on the time after I replace the plugs tonite....

Hey, this happens to me too.....wtf?

 

hey that would be great! Thanks, CJ

 

my times are not great in my 85......but an 87tii with more mods then NASA will be sweet...


BOB PRIVATE MESSAGE ME>>

 

need to get a stopwatch and open road (might as well go top speed)

 

To be legal I should say I did those runs on the Dyno, or at the track, but I-5 in northern california is my favorite road

 

I just did some 40-70mph runs in 3rd gear. 3 runs to be exact; they averaged out to be 7.0 sec.

I also did two 40-70mph runs in 2nd gear and it averaged 5 sec.

There were me (175lbs) and a buddy (160lbs) in the car.
I have an amp and a 10inch woofer in a box in the back.
I had 1/4 tank of gas. No spare tire or jack. Everything else in.

It's a 1990 GXL with a mazda reman with 20k miles on it.
Only mod is a cone filter and cold air duct. Stock everything else.

 

Come on guys, let's get some more times!

 

30-60= 2.5 in 2nd and 3.6 in 3rd
40-100= 5.5 in 2nd and 7.3 in 3rd

all times using g tech

 

40-100 in second? you got some tall gears. CJ

 

Ok, I know this thread is old, but I thought with my new Rx-8 I'd post the times. Unfortunetly, I can't do a 2nd gear 40-70. 2nd gear is just a little to short. My car is %100 stock with a around 2,200 miles on it. 40-70 times are right around 5.3. I'll be doing some more runs soon.

BTW, this car feels quicker than my old 90 Rx-7 ever did. CJ

 

hoooooray for 8k redlines. man 40-70 is right in the meat of second gear for me. actulay my 45-75 time woyld proboly be just as fast cus those are my shift point in and out of second when im floggin it.

ill have to get a watch and measure but i think its gona be somwhre in the mid-high 4 second range. maybe low 5s. god i love being able to break the speed limit on the highway in second gear!!

 

Here is a vid of me doing a 2nd gear pull
