Neil-NA Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 You can shave soooo much time off that mate, no offence but i am 99% confident i would be beating your time now with my 232 dodgydyno bhp, you should easily be in the 13s with that as it is now i am confident of doing a low 14. Get back out there and drive like a tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get back out there and drive like a tool well i spent a whole day and at least 30 runs looking at all these slips and i felt and still feel 14.2 was going to be the best it would ever do,i always wanted to be in the 13's but it never happend.i must admit though im happy with 14.3 looking at what other people are doing. im going to try and get it on a different dyno when ive finished putting it back together and ill update on here again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 I have one of them apps on my android phone that does your 0-60 and quarter mile and it thinks my supra can do 0-60 in 5secs, sure your not using the same app? What's that smell? Horse plop? the slips on guys....think we can now say you were wrong.[COOL][/COOL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get back out there and drive like a tool I like to know how. The offical figures in the Drag times don't back up that claim. His reaction time is pretty good, his Terminal is good and the only other car faster has a big shot of naaaws. Are you suggesting he uses the "Hollywood top gear" for that last burst of speed?

It is quite easily possible but we will have to wait and see at suprapod, i am confident of my car as it is doing a low 14, if i can get it to 250bhp by then it will be 14.0 high 13's im sure In all hoesty i dont believe his car is 285 bhp if it is he is very slow at changing gear, if it is 285 i could 99% make it go 1 second quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you'd have done it already. You're just guessing, and drag racing depends on a lot of factors coming together to get that magic 1/4-mile figure.

I'll make sure I'm watching at Pod this year because I don't think theres any chance of you getting into the 13's. My car dyno'd at 226bhp and the very best I could do was 15.01 so good luck.

I havnt been to the drag strip yet in the supra I know all about drag racing ive been enough times in various cars and always beat what people 'thought' was possible (apart from the pulsar but please dont go there ) I am just going to wait till suprapod then we will find out, if it doesnt do what i 'think/am confident' it will do i will hold my hands up and say i am wrong.

In fact you and pretty much everyone else gets the wrong end of the thread with drag racing, its torque that will give you a better time and HP will give you a better terminal, heres an example If you have a 1500kg car with 500hp and 500 ft lbs that runs 12.00 sec @ 130mph, if you gain 100 hp and everything else stays the same it will prob run virtually the same ET but prob at 134 mph, if you kept 500hp and gained 100 ft lbs it will prob run 11.5 still at 130 mph, of course this never happens because changing hp will always change torque as well. Ive seen some quick diesels down the strip, they have loads of torque but little HP, the NA does struggle a little with torque which even in this tuned one if it is 285 is prob not much more than stock.

Scooter Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I know myself and Bobbeh had to put in a fair few runs to get sub 14 secs in our completely stock Uk manual TT's. Now I know they are lardy but they were definitely way faster than the na's i've had. If i was trying to drag an NA then other the basic engine tuning bits and bobs Neil etc have done i'd go for weight reduction and some sticky tyres........i've yet to see a NA do the strip on some dedicated drag tyres.

Nic Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 thanks for telling me! 0.2 secs hum? thats good to know. anyway its got high lift cams,a piggy back ecu,racing manifold straight through with no cats and an uprated fuel pump.my friend from toyota found most of this out when hes done bits and bobs on it.plus when he drove it he said ids defo been played with.ill get my slip on asap where do i put it?? How did your friend check that they are not stock cams? Do you know what make and spec they are? What brand is the exhaust manifold? Did it come from Japan with it already fitted? Could you post some pics, interested in seeing it? What ECU is fitted? Was this fitted in Japan? Did you check the mapping when you dynoed the car?
