Tommrow i will be running my first 1/4 with my turbo kit.

im trying to eclipse my previous best at the track (15.6 @ 88mph with just an intake and some 17"s)

im nervous though, for some reason i fear just ramming the **** out of the engine, the track is about 35 mins from home, so im weary of blowing it so far from home. then again i DO have AAA hehee.

but as for the turbo, what should i do to prep her for the 1/4.

i have 310s, 8:1 FMU on the DRAG kit. airtex inline pump, vafc slightly tuned and AVCR to run the helm. im gonna run at .5 bar (7.XX psi) dont plan to run any more then that.

also, they DO have race fuel there, i believe it is 108 (c8), if i put this in should i add a PSI or two? i think id rather keep the same psi (.5 bar) and just run more effecient. what do you guys think.

alsoooooooo (sorry ranting at this point) can anyone give me advice here, i have a set of 4 Kumho Victo-racer tires which are pretty much slicks at this point,they are mounted on a set of 14" Del Sol wheels. would you suggest running these over my S03's that are on 15" GSR rims? can you forcast any advantages? and perhaps give me some launch tips? turbos can be a bitch!

 

just dont break anything
post some numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Definately run the S03s.

 

Just drop the psi on the front tires and pray for traction hehe. Try and get your 60ft times down each run.

 

i would recommend these things:

-a tire pressure gauge
-toolbox with the necessary sockets and ratchets
-jack
-4 quarts of oil
-coolant
-and a small compressor to put air back into your tires (if you're using street tires)

feel free to add anything else.

run the S03's on 20psi.. go around the water box.. do a quick burn out to get any rocks an stuff off.. launch around 3500 for your first time and adjust from there.. dont pay attention to the lights, just take your time and try to learn the track and how to launch your car.. u should be fine..

 

and spark plugs

 

just out of curioustity, can anyone tell me why i should bring plugs, oil etc. just curious

 

drop your exhaust once you get to the track - let that turbo breathe!

 

lol, i should do that, but thats alot of effort......we'll see

 

I always run on fresh plugs. As far as the oil I would think that is purely a precautional thing. On the street tires you might need to feather it a bit. Just dumping the clutch will make your tires just spin. Dropping your exhaust will make it flow better but will bump you up 1psi or so

 

so if i take the exhaust off im gonna have to compensate by lowering my AVCR a tad. hmm never realized that!

 

Where do you go Grand Bend motorplex?? if Its in the states and that close to you I might come down, do they have events with decent payouts???

 

if you have koni yellows lock up the rear shocks as well as you can, do not run race fuel unless you go over like 10PSI, you can get away with running full advance timing untill there, the race fuel has to have slightly more advanced timing

 

i have KYBs so i can lock up the rears still, as for race fuel, i dont run a cat so im ont worried. and i dont run advanced timing, im actually retarded 2 degrees daily.

the track is http://www.nyirp.com

 

so.....

 

hey damon......two words "SUCKKKK ITTT!"

 

So what were you times cheif? 16's? just kidding.
