I cracked a 13.7 @ 101MPH

60ft of 2.290 which i personally think i can drop. My tire pressure was high so traction off the line was a bit poor. couldnt be arsed to drop pressure etc.....

Im confidant i can bring that down to 13.6. Im also on stock air filter :p

Anyway im very happy with the result concidering its a stock engine just with exhaust/header/cold air feed and on stock ECU :nice:

EDIT: and just to add this is on the stock B16B gearbox with 4.4 Final drive.

great! Were you lightweight and with sticky tyres?
A typical time for a first stage ep3 is 14sec+
 
no rear interior and no air con. So a few KG shaved off. Nothing major.

I was running 888 semi slicks. But it was still spinning the tires alot in 1st gear. Im not hugely impressed with the 60ft time. I know it can be reduced.
 
Were you at santa pod????


if so i think i got your car on camera

I was at shakespear raceway mate, not santa Pod.

I have a carbon bonnet and carbon spoiler too.
 
Good figures, you drag time is so making me head in the B18C-R direction :drive:
 
r888 is a great tire but its not suited for drag, either way you ran great times :nice:
 
Cheers blinx.

What's that due to, stiff tire wall maybe? Won't allow much movement?
 
thanks mate!

I ran a 13.2 @108 in the starbo but to be very fair i was running budget 175 tires and NO LSD and that was at 1bar boost. Full boost was 1.2bar. I was literally spinning half way up the strip lol.

With really good tires and LSD my starbo is an easy low-mid 12 second car.
