Build link below. 650whp on 17" starspec dunlops, BBG although didn't have it dialed in at best on this run. Ended the day with 170.9 half mile standing start

Nice! If you got the spinning sorted out you could have been faster.

LightningTeg

170 is quick even with all that spinning. Hope to be right around there

ls joker

Thats a heck of a reach to grab 5th.

I do like the S2k seats in Integras. Really has me thinking.

1/4mile Never did expose the core competency of these engines using efficient turbochargers in their upper rpm band.

I think it's great for the sport...especially considering all the nonsense sanctioned import drag racing is facing right now..

You get the thrill of highway acceleration rates without the tickets or additional risk.

Tech doesn't require a cage at those speeds?

ls joker

^^ good point and good question

LightningTeg

Yeah thats what Im iffy about lol. We'll see how it feels. Highway runs never gave me an issue. But I dont do top speed runs ever.

This video was 166 I think. Just like 1/4 drag it's super addictive and hard as heck to go 5 mph faster haha. The 171 run hooked pretty dang good especially for a chalky concrete runway. This was a GOFAST event and tech was very minimal. I really shouldn't have done this without a cage. It's really fun getting to let it stretch, I recommend anyone trying at least once.

LOWLUDE22

Thanks and yes the fifth grab is tough, especially when strapped in harness's.

No. You can easily reach those speeds on the Autostraus and Autobahn in many of these cars that are used in these events.. Public roads, at higher speeds. Anyone can drive on either motorway

Funny enough, most of these cars are still within NHSTA guidelines , as they are global vehicles.

For example, a simple Ford Focus ST can reach 155mph on the Autobahn, (there are videos to show this), is a global car, and NHSTA approved. In addition, because of the way the events are structured, it's not necessary.

Yes. Most who use these types of exhaust use shielding around those damned things.



oops.

Like Myles... Time for some "Aero".

LOWLUDE22

My little bit of aero, can you spot it?

Aftermath when I got back home and did some hwy pulls to show my dad how it ran.... He didn't get a good impression ha

Main shaft

Just the tape. It's..... a good start.

That car is sitting SOO high, though... We'll work on that some more in due time.


UGGGH..... Damn shaft.

Lexan air damns also added in the bumper inlet. Hood vent also will help with aero pulling air out vs having it lift the car

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

Well, those laxan dams help with channelling the air directly into the intercooler, but that's about it. The inlet in the hood is an engine bay cooling feature, and not considered an aero part (technically).

You need something below that bumper inlet, a flat deck underneath that bumper for downforce windage, possibly canards, and something to keep that rear deck down.(i.e. A real diffuser, "whale tail" style deck wing, etc.).

Check some cues from Myles (gringotegra) to get a better idea of what I mean..
