Manual BA turbo times

Paul@eliteauto · 25-04-2006, 09:07 AM

Best time I have done in mine is a 12.8@112mph.
Stock clutch(though it was its last hoorah)
Stock Dunlop 235/45/17 tyres
1.9 second 60 foot.
Done at willowbank in October.

I know autos are much faster.
Suttys car has the same rwhp and with M/T street radials has run a 11.8!

Going to willowbank on Thursday night
Should be a nice cool night.

Good effort on the dunlops mate and with a manual and the power your showing.

SpoolMan · 25-04-2006, 06:18 PM

Well done mate 1.9 is a decent 60 foot on dunlops.
Is Sutty's car a manual F6 or XR6T?
If its a manual, it may be the quickest manual time for XR6T or F6.
uptil now we have seen 12.01.

Paul@eliteauto · 25-04-2006, 07:37 PM

his is an auto with shift kit
not an f6 just xr6 mk 1
Nice car
is that low 12 on standard tyres?
What mile an hour was it?

Not 100% sure it was nizpro built engine, around 120 mph.

Xtreme F6 · 25-04-2006, 10:15 PM

Hang on.......What do you want to know here? what is the quickest manual DUnlop sp tyres car or the quickest manual car?

Ive done a 1.9 12.3@120 on toyo street tyres and a 2.27 12.3@124 on MT streets before breaking the cv.

Paul@eliteauto · 25-04-2006, 10:59 PM

I thought you would have had a faster 60' with mt's
whether you run toyo or dunlop there is a big diference to MT's
You gave away nearly .4 of a second and managed the same et with a 4 mph gain.
Just trying to compair apples with apples!
Is that fair enough?

i added MT's so i added more power, Didnt help still spun the wheels and ran a slower 60ft but same et and more MPH from the xtra power.

see how i go tomorrow night!

F6 UTE · 27-04-2006, 11:20 PM

Nice 60'..

I did a 2.4sec 60' to go 12.80 @ 116mph with 390rwhp In my F6 Tornado.. ( WA )

Stock Dunlops with 40psi. Injectors and Cat. Stock everything else and hardcover etc..

F6Tornado ( In WA ) went 2.2 60' 12.74 @ 114mph with 415rwhp, stock tyres, exhaust and injectors only. Hardcover and factory air filter in both..

Both run in around 25 deg in November last year I think?????

Hoping to get out in the next couple of weeks for the last meeting to lower it a bit in the MUCH colder air.

Go the manuals..

Xtreme F6 · 28-04-2006, 04:31 PM

any news yet

Paul@eliteauto · 28-04-2006, 08:44 PM

13.02@111.52 2.121 60'
13.04@112.00 2.136 60'
on nangkang 235-45-17
pb done on factory dunlops

best I could do !

Traction was huge problem. Breaks into axle tramp.
Played with tyre pressures.
Started at 20 psi I thought it was going to break a cv!
Down to 15psi better but still there!
Sutty said he would let me use his MT's next time out.
What do you recon?

SpoolMan · 28-04-2006, 08:46 PM

Drag racing requires good tyres, there part of the tools of the sport, defiantly use them...

Yeah I know your saying
but I really wanted to see how far you can go in street trim.
I know if I soften up the suspension and have sticky tyres it will run much faster. The MPH tells you that.

: lol

SpoolMan · 28-04-2006, 09:03 PM

Toyo Proxes R1, street legal in Australia very soft warm up quickly.
They come in rim size friendly sizes. I use 245x40x18

Just becareful mate, Unfortuantly with the sticky tyres comes the chance of breaking the CV's, like mine did. Im making billet ones atm.

Paul@eliteauto · 29-04-2006, 01:06 PM

yep thats my fear!

F6 UTE · 29-04-2006, 02:47 PM

With your hp, I doubt CVs are a worry yet.

If you want to go faster, you'll need to swap out your diff centre for a 3.45 or similar, or drop the rear brakes so you can fit a taller 15" M/T to change ratios. Try and get ur hands on some 255/50/ 16" M/T's. these are about the only tyre which will allow you to retain stock prem rear brakes and change ur ratio..

IMO, dropping tyre pressure is a wates of time on street tyres. The extra grip ( if any ) is not of benefit proportional to the extra rolling resistance created later down the track..

As soon as you get extra power with stock gearing, you'll need to change into 5th, which will rob you of a few 1/10ths.

As it is, my 115/116mph runs have me way over optimum revs before hitting the tape, she's out of puff and really wanting a gear change. I need to drop my gearing to go much quicker..

2c anyway..

superpursuit83 · 29-04-2006, 03:20 PM

Hey Paul, one thing to remember is you probably get a better launch on the street with street tyres than you would on a track. So put some sticky ones on and go for it. But be carefull and good luck

Fair call about picking 5th.How much are the 255/50/16 M/T's?
what pressure dpow you run them at?

F6 UTE · 01-05-2006, 12:15 AM

I don't have them. but was quotes $370 a corner form memory..

22psi I think the guys run..

Aeron · 01-05-2006, 01:56 AM

14.021 stock as a rock baby. Oh yeh, and with truck loads of clutch slip too :(

They cost around $250/$290 each depending where you get them.

I always ran the MT streets at about 16psi cold (go to 18psi when warm), have run them at 23psi but you can tell stright away when you do your burnout there not as grippy

nugget378 · 01-05-2006, 04:39 PM

My best 60's on the street radials were done on 10-12 psi, I have photos of them with the walls wrinkling like drag slicks.

Paul@eliteauto · 01-05-2006, 06:50 PM

awesome
Thanks guys!
Might borrow a set and run with that for the time being $$$$$ just bought a house!
