MONKEYmark Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 03. 11.90 @ 113 mph tDR (BL auto) JAP (TOTB6) (TC 4000) 17" BFG`s @1.1bar (SEQ) + map2 ecu is that what u mean.also maybe a small shot of gas might help it box robs a bit of power.the transbrake should help on launching.gets hard holding it all on front brakes.always thought about using line lock to old on line,never got to try it. Thanks Mark Would be good to see you going for it again with a TH400, don't know how that will affect your times though as it's rumoured to be a bit of a drag on power, terminals will show whether it actually is or not! The BL box.... well it kinda cancels itself out TBH. The main reason I got it was my standard box was knackered and I wanted to futureproof with eventual power goals in mind - it 'feels' like it'll handle the power of a reasonably sized single. The big downside for me is I can't shift it manually - when I broke the first BL box I got, BL kindly replaced it under warranty but blamed my occassional manual shifting for the failure. I found I saved a good 2 or 3 tenths shifting manually at the strip... so in some respects I wish I was still running a standard Toyota box. Crail is a very hard strip to get decent times on - absolutely crap surface (almost like launching on the surface of the moon) and uphill at the start, hence some people claiming it looks downhill at the end. Terminal speeds show that isn't the case really. Cheers, Brian. p.s. Can I have a little t at the start of my name on the list please?

tDR Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Thanks Mark How does the transbrake work? How does it work / how do you operate it? Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Thanks Mark How does the transbrake work? How does it work / how do you operate it? Cheers, Brian. as far as i can remember it holds car in 1st gear and reverse locking wheels up on a button and u build boost off line and press button to launch. had a video of a usa supra with gt47-80 with th400 with transbrake launching it jumped off line and went on to do a 8 second pass with no nos.not sure if the car had a 3.4 stroker. will do a search for info heres an explanation Valve Bodies Our Trans-Brake Series allows you to achieve maximum torque converter stall and provides for quicker and more consistent reaction times and 60 foot times. This is due to the Trans-Brake action which prevents an engine's torque load from being transmitted through the drive train prior to the launch. The Trans-Brake acts in much the same manner as a manual clutch. Once the Trans-Brake is engaged, the vehicle can neither roll forward nor backward and as you press on the accelerator the engine can rpm as high as the torque converter stall. Once the Trans-Brake is released, the power is transmitted immediately to the rear tires in much the same manner as a manual clutch but with the parts saving advantage of the torque converter's shock absorbing action. Fits GM TH400, 1965 & later. Has reverse shift pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamil Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hi I think i have a time that can go on the NA drag time list. My Supra has exhaust, induction and de-cat and is a manual. Reaction = + .8651 60 ft = 2.1051 330 ft = 6.1471 1/8 ET = 9.5437 1/8 MPH = 71.90 1000 ET = 12.3919 1/4 = 14.9319 1/4 MPH = 89.80 This was done at Rotorstock, Santapod!

Bobbeh Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 ^ V nice 60 ft, what tyres/pressures were you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rays the roof Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Managed to get a terminal speed of 106mph at Rotostock last weekend, which i believe equates to roughly 330BHP at fly wheels. Ran with: Tesco 99 RON and 10:1 petrol to toluene (99.9% graded). 10:1 nitrous to petrol jets (200:20) Front passenger and rear seats removed. Single decat. Aftermarket wheels, so possibly a little more to be had with stock 17's?? Best 1/4 mile was 13.9 sec. Beat a couple of stock TT's on the day too!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe or once I get another jo, may go for the exhaust mainfold off Nic and/or a set of stock 17's to see if I can shave off a few more tenths of a second. What would you invest in??

Guest Rays the roof Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 TT transplant but keep the NOS Then it will not be an NA but a NAT. And you know from camping they spell trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 NA-T is an NA engine with a Turbo, I think he meant just getting a TT engine. I think getting some drag tyres could shave off another 3/4 tenths, maybe a higher stall Torque Converter, something like a 3800/4000.

Eve Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 FAO MONKEYMark (mods - permission to ban me if I am being thick) How are you getting 11.9 out of stock twins?? My stock manual managed 13.9 which is miles off. No mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 In case he takes a while to reply Mark was BPU-ish at the time and had a hi-stall TC (and road slicks aswell) which vastly improves the launch. At BPU I'd expect you to be able to get into the 12's with a bit of practise Eve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
