I built this car primarily as a road course/autox car, but I decided to have a little fun on the strip as well. So I went to the track on Friday. My goal was to hit 7's. I ran an 8.06 first pass, 8.000@92 second pass and the next 3 or 4 passes were garbage. I added 1/2 degree of timing in boost and got the 7.77 along with a few extra mph. lol

I was in the left lane. I need to figure out my short time. I'm thinking a flow control valve and heating up the tires more. (I can't deactivate launch control to be able to spin the tires in 2nd. )


Quick mod list:
S5 T2 HBP irons by BDC
S4 NA rotors
Greddy 20g turbo kit
ebay intercooler
550/1680cc injectors
255/50/16 MT ET drag radials at 15psi
12 lbs of boost.

Pic of the car, I have stock wheels on the front for now, and lost the wing.

 

nice...congrats.

what kinda fuel you runnin?

 

Good job! Just think if you tossed in more timing!

 

Looking good man!

 

1/2 tank of 91, 1/2 tank of 93.

I tried that, only ran one run after my best, and that was 7.87@ 93 with another 1/2 degree added, so IDK if it'd do much good.

What are you running for tranny fluid? My tranny doesn't much seem to like 8k rpm 1-2 shifting anymore. May have had something to do with the 10k shifts I was doing when it was NA.

Thanks everybody!

 

Bad news, I lost an apex seal on the dyno. Still made 285hp/230tq

So, more than likely I'll be abandoning the rotary.

 

How much does your car weigh? I'm guess its pretty light to have made a 7.7 with only 285hp...def less than 2500lbs.

 

My guess is about 2400. The seal blew early in the dyno pull, so the 285 was with a blown motor.
