Default FIRST time at track UPDATE!! 2.3 60ft..im an idiot!

just got back from the track again with a 2.309 60 ft. and ran a 14.74


60........2.38
1/8.......9.682
1/4.......14.89
mph.....93.36

UPDATE: I AM AN IDIOT AT READ THE REACTION TIME. I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THAT I WROTE THAT AND I WAS KINDA WONDERING WHY I WAS GETTING HARASSED SO MUCH FOR WHAT I THOUGH I PUT DOWN. I DID A 2.3 60 FT TIME. I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT


setup was a 96 ek hatch with a jdm gsr swap with just intake. i think i could get it down to a 14.6 or so with a better launch. only got 3 runs in all day so i hope for better next time. tell me what you think. thanks for any help

I have a USDM GSR in my Eg hatch and pull 2.3 - 2.4 60' w/ 9.3 1/8th times....

Never ran the 1/4, but your times sound pretty good as far as the 60 / 1/8th

i hope you dont mind if i swerve on your topic........ i've got a jdm gsr in my coupe and it just does not pull past 7k rpms..... you have any problems like that? some folks said my fuel pump may be too weak (it's the stock sohc part)..... which pump are you using?

i was running falken azenis at 23 psi. on that launch i was at 3000 rpm and just kinda feathered the clutch so that i didnt have very much wheel hop. seemed to work out alright.

as for team 4r: i am using the stock cx fuel pump also but it feels like my car pulls pretty hard up top. basically from 6-redline it is pulling pretty strong. i hope you can figure out your problem

yeah wheels hop for me was reallly bad when i was dumping the clutch. the track was pretty sticky so the tires just hopped. so thats when on my last run i feathered it and it hopped a little but helped alot. i am gonna try to feather from 4000 next time and see if i can lower to a 2.2 60ft

Well you did better then me my first time at the track I could only manage 2.5's all day long. I had the same track trap speed as you but I could only manage a 15.1 @93mph. I have a first gen b16a though.

i went to famoso raceway. it was the first time they opened this season so it was really crowded. next time i am hoping to get near a 14.5 or so. do you guys think i can do this with a better 60ft even with 93 mph traps? how much would a nice header help?

i think you'll need some slicks to break that 60ft time you currently have .. thats a pretty good 60ft already, it maybe possible to run a 2.2 . . .

No he won't need slicks to break that 60'. He just needs to learn how to launch better and slip the clutch so he has no wheel hop at all. When I went to the track with my stock 97cx hatch I was able to pull a 2.3 60' and i gauranteee it would have been much better had i had a swap. I would not doubt that he could hit 2.0 or even a 1.9 without slicks, all a matter of knowin how to launch your car.

yeah on the last run of a shitty day i just slipped it from 3 because i was having problems all day with wheel hop and tire spin so i just did it conservatively to make sure i get a halfway decent launch to get a 14. next time im going to try to slip from 4000 and i think that will help alot

I slipped my cx from 4500.

Talk to stealth-95gsr (pretty sure that is his name..if not its close) he used to have a gsr with intake suspension and exhaust he ran a 14.5. I don't remeber what he slipped it from but it was pretty high up there.
