boost killz

Sup guys, well I will finally be hitting the track this Friday with VTC_civic to see what my biatch can do down the track, unfortuneately no slicks but I got drag radials at least. Questions is I usually just did a quick burnout to get rid of any pebbles, gravel etc that's on there but would really like to heat em up but never get the hang of it? Any method or procedure you guys can share that will work best since I rarely visit the track. TIA,

if you've got a good clutch, try a second gear burnout.

VTC_CiViC

U suck

BoostinDC2

yup 2nd gear burn out will work

boost killz

center force dual friction... what's your opinion on that?? It's worked great and holds up awesome but 2nd opinion never hurts,hehe. thanks John

I'd use it til it dies, then upgrade to a Clutchmasters stage 4 or Clutchnet stage 3

the way i do a burnout in the race car is like this .... have someone stage you little pass the waterpit roll through get your tires wet. then about ft past the water hold your ebrake shift into second gear and rev to around 7500-8000 rpm jjust turn the wheel left and right when you feel the car going foward release ebrake.

turn your wheel left and right?!?,why? to warm up your CV Joints lol,anyway i wouldnt turn it left or right,good way to snap an axle,keep it straight.

Hey b18bturbo knows his **** man, if he says to turn your wheel left and right then there certainly is a good reason behind it!!

b18bturbo

the reason you turn it left and right is to get the slicks warmed up evenly. But its really how you drive too. Most times there not enough time to warm them since they grab so quick. You dont want to be stuck there burning out forever either as soon as the car grabs traction realease the ebrake or what ever staging brake you have.

Thanks for the info guys, very appreciated.

if you have the early bfg drag radials or the nitto's, don't heat em up too much. if you have the new g-force bfg's, then heat em up more. and be careful turning your wheel doing the burnout, because i've seen some inexperienced people almost hit the wall doing hit. lol. you should be looking for consistent 2.00 60 ft's realistically.

oh yea, definatly do the 2nd gear burnout.

I thought you weren't supposed to run through the water if you have regular tires on....Is that true? I guess we are just talking about DRs and slicks here...

sgT

stay away from the water if you dont have slicks.
You'll just track the water up to the start line.

boost killz

Yeah I am definitely staying away from the water, and Jnx thanks for theinfo o the nittos since that's what I am using. I'll post times and maybe video courtesy of VTC if he decides to film. Thanks a bunch fellas

with the nitto's i'd try around 22-24 psi in the tires and launch around 4000 rpm's slipping the clutch. no water and a quick burn out. 1st gears good enough. just for a second. to get the **** off and get em alittle sticky. too much and it'll work against you. just my experience. good luck.

We'll have 2 or 3 video camera's that night

whats up with the 2nd gear burn out , i never heard of that before?
i do the sameas b18 turbo but with 1st gear

VTC_CiViC

b18b does it in 2nd gear

b18bturbo

reason i do it in second is less strain on my motor. Remeber i got full race stup an the gear is juts so short its just puts uncessary strain on my motor.

VTC_CiViC

Ooohhh.. I thought it was because the tire rotates fater therefore heating the slicks up faster

DLB1994

when i use to race on street tires ill start burning them in 1st and then ****** 2nd and really smoke them and i got long gearing i run the accord tranny 2nd gear take me to about 73mph@7700rpm's

but best i could get on street tires was a 2.2 60foot

and i got a 1.8 on slicks before
this was before i was turbo
