Default got a 1.8 60ft on nitto 555r drag radials

Went to the track today made 3 passes on my nittos was very happy with them
13psi tire pressure
205/55/14

1st pass
1.912 60ft
5.394 330
8.1 1/8th
91 mph

2nd pass

1.922 60ft
5.427 550
8.0 1/8th
94mph

should have been 7 second pass but missed 3rd bad may have even hurt the tranny
3rd pass
1.878 60ft
5.301 330
8.7 1/8th
76 mph.

Sucks to miss a gear on what should have been my fastest pass going to 1/4th track next weekend hope for a low 12 second pass

stock steele wheels
i had to get them hot i mean hot, 3rd gear burn out the car would feel up with smoke.
cant wait for the 1/4th i only rev the car to 8k so i was running out of gear in 3rd and figured going in to 4th would kill my times. i would cross the line in the rev limiter

setup is a f2b eg hatch
16 psi holset hx35/40
using f22a non vtec on ls tranny w/ quaife lsd
h22 eagle rods and 8:1 wiseco pistons

I love the setup been 7.6 at 95 mph on 23" slick. I use boost by gear to help me get the drag radial times. Car make tons of tq. i figure i am making around 350 hp i need to get this thing on the dyno some more. made 300hp 320ft tq on 12 psi with a 57 trim turbonetics. the hx35/40 spools the same and is a much larger turbo.

i got a obx turbo manifold which did crack, i tig welded the cracks and have never had any more problems after 3 years. i would like a nicer turbo manifold but nobody make them i could make one, i just dont have the time with a family.You can check out my sig for my build

making very similar numbers on my built 2.0L LS engine... just got back from the track last night on 23x7.5" slicks and was consistent 7.68 @ 95 w/ 1.80 60ft. Still learning the car... Need a bit more seat time. Would like to see 7.5x on the current setup.

I think the ls tranny is killing me. got to get my home projects done so i can get some time to put it in my gsr tranny. also i am only able to throw 16psi of boost in 3rd gear. i have
10 psi 1st
13psi 2nd
16psi 3rd
i love ectune boost by gear.

Yep, Im on a GSR trans... Going through the traps on the limiter @ 8000.

Boosting 12psi in all gears for now until I get the BBG setup in my eCtune. Just need to run a wire to the engine bay for the solenoid.

How high are you revving? I ran into issues with gearing with my gsr trans only trapping 118 on the rev limiter of 8k. I also had 215-60-14's pulling low 1.8's with similar times. When I switched to the taller tire in picked up BIG time!

I have done the gear calculator and they aren't quite right from my experience. The 215-60-14's are a little more than 24" tall. I would finish the 1/4 on the 4th gear limiter and would change from 3rd to 4th just before or as I passed the 1/8th. Typically my car runs mid high 7's @ 94-96 mph in the 1/8th and 11.8-12.0 @ 116-118 on the limiter around 1200'.

I think the calculators don't account for the drop in tire pressure which reduces the overall tire height and this is what differences is have experienced. I have recently switched to a 225-50-15 and they aren't much shorter but I can see a difference by hitting the limiter around the 1k'.

I hear ya'. I blew the diff in my GSR and have had my spare LS in and hate it also. Trying to build the trans to take the abuse I will be throwing at it while it is apart but finding parts in my price range is proving to be difficult.

is the gear calculator off or im spinning 3rd. I know for a fact that i am in rev limiter when i cross the line. I bumped the limiter up to 8200 and still trapped the same mph and time. gear calculator says i should trap 100@8k my datalog says i am at 100mph also.

That is interesting. 200rpm might not make that much difference or you are hitting the limiter before the finish line.
