11.90 - 12.80, SO MANY VARIABLES AT THE LAUNCH.

drag slicks, burnouts, dump clutch at 6krpms, road surface, driving skills, etc etc maybe 11.90.

Street tires, no burn out, 3k launch, good driving skills maybe 12.80.

Jim,

I'm just giving you a hard time. I would never expect him to do as well in that event as his "all time best" run. I'm still a little surprised he didn't do better than he did though (111 mph!). May have been really hot and he didn't have time to ice down or something.

Ken, your just about right on. I just ran a 12.8@107 on street tires, letting the clutch fly at 3.5k. I then turned up the boost a bit, and ran a 12.9@114mph CJ

I saw a option vid a few weeks ago of a 100% BONE STOCK Model Year 2001 RS FD3S run a 12.9... dont remember the speed though. If anyone cares.

Crazy thing is last time I took apart a 2000 RS, the down pipe is actully smaller(about 1 cm) than the 93's. Everybody thinks its the intake all the small improvements but it is all the turbos. It is actully more resticted than the 93's.

How did they run a 12.9? There is not that much more power there, is there? Which Options vid is that?

I thought that the main difference would be that the '93 ran a precat, while they removed that on the newer models. Pipe diameter may be less, but overall the newer models are less restrictive (because there is no precat).

I'm using Toyo Proxe drag radials, and launching @6k and I still can't get my 60'ft below 1.9s. Maybe I'm not burning out long enough?

A friend of mine ran 11.4 at 11psi in San Antonio. He now has a T78, but then, he had stock twins. He made the run with a street port, an apex FMIC, a Power FC, full exhaust, and a Bonez Street/Strip. The car was tuned by Rotary Performance/RX7.com.

11psi on what???? Stock twins? If so your full of ****!...Even 11psi on the T78 he'll only run a low 12, high 11, so your still full of ****.

Why dont you like Nitto's??? You have to burn them out alot more but I thought they were ok. I turn 1.8x's with Nittos and they last 5x longer than BFG's. They also look better on the car if your driving around on the weekend with them. They both have thier pro's and con's but with a good burn out the Nittos are decent.

BTW - A good burn out to me is when you can see smoke at your window. A lot of people just dont burn them long enough

Your right, they do last longer, but I wasn't worried about that cause I only drove weekends. I cut high 1.8's with Nittos, but I cut mid 1.6's with the BFG's......Big difference. For every tenth you cut off your 60', its good for two tenth's off your 1/4 mile time. I used 275/40/17's for the BFG's and launched at 5800 easing off the clutch, not slipping it.

Quickest and fastest twin turboed car I've seen is my friend AnthonyNYC, his car went 11.2's-11.1's@121mph's, pretty consistantly on stock twins, with slicks, pretty simple and effective setup with no blowup problems and was daily driven, BTW this was done with a Pettit Unlimited chip and some other mods.

Correct me if Im wrong, but I thought Anthony said he only ran that time once and after he pushed that much boost his turbo's started to puke.....

he ran the 11.1 once, but the car ran 11.2's regularly. as far as the turbos puking, those turbos were bone stock with 98K hard miles on them. they were pretty much **** even before he ran the 11.1

Ask Rotary Performance. Chris Ott was there. J. R. could only run 11 psi because he had dying turbos. The guys at Rotary couldn't believe it either.

Yeah this guy, JR, ran at the World import Challenge in Baytown, TX about 3 months ago. I think he ran an 11.4 or 11.5 on stock twins. I don't know what boost he was pushing. Some other guy from San Antonio ran an 11.7 on street tires...and he drove his car from San Antonio (single turbo, though).

Then there was me... Eliminated in the 1st round! I only had my car 30 days. I ran a 12.75 on street tires, stock twins, rebuilt motor, PFC, MP, CB, stock cat, stock inj./fuel pump and PFS IC. I did it for the experience.

JR was fast as hell! Although he did get inched out at the end of his run in the Semi's by one fast *** Supra. Supra got beat by RX7.com in the final.

They have more power than they say they do that is the frickin point... There is a 280 ps limit on production cars over here in Japan.

As for the rest of it... no precat stuff is nonsence who ever told you that. Some early model FD's have no precat over here and they are just as slow as yours in the states.

Aren't there a bunch of 1000' (or something else slightly shorter) dragstrips in Japan? Maybe there is no truth to this but I seem to remember someone mentioning that before. That might explain a 12.9 stock.

Everybody has their own way but what I do is rev to about 7k and just let her rip. I try to get enough of a momentum so I can shift into 2nd and maintain the burnout. I've tried the braking method but I can't seem to get it right.

Thanks for backing me up. I've been racing with JR since he was running high 8's in the 1/8 at our local dragstrip. He's an amazing driver and a good guy. Almost beat him once, but inched me out by .1 second. Now, he destroys me. Anyway, he had really old, ragged-on turbos that's the reason for the low boost.
