...either your tuning is ****, or your driving is.

 

tuning is everything with FI, spend some time on that and the et's will drop. btw, reaction time does not affect 1/4 time. What was your 60'?

i think driving, what is the 60 ft time??? also, reaction time is meaningless in your et

I doubt its his driving, i'm pretty sure its his tuning. I mean if was doing 15.1 before, so its not a great driver but not 14.99 on a turbo swap. Tune it before your motor blows man

 

Same strip?

Wasn't it tuned though?

You sure the turbo was spooling? The difference in times seems like just a normal jump when you get more track time with the same setup.

 

Drag does not have a gen 3 kit for the h series engines.... only gen 2 or 4.

You need to learn to drive. Post up your 60ft times as well as your trap speeds. Other than that, it sounds like you were sleeping at the light and suck at driving. I ran 13.8's with a stock h23 on 8psi of boost a few years ago.

 

Well they must make a drag gen 3 kit cause that is what they sold me supposdidly and its funny how u poke fun of my driving skills cause i can drive just fine the car doesn't hook up at upper rpms it breaks free in first and second, new tires is what i will need!! but my 60 ft times where worse cause well no traction and yes i was launching the best i could stock 60 were 2.32 the 14.99 was 2.39 stock 330 6.45 and 14.99 run was 6.48 i ran many runs as for the tuning its fine its running a bit rich just like it needs to be same strip and yes everything was working as in turbo etc etc. Oh yea i forgot to mention it was 102 degrees outside(FI in heat = sucks) that really didnt help(srt-4's were running 14.4's at there best), luckily though since im so not very well with cars i made a bleed vavle and opened it up and got the boost to 8.9 lbs and ran a 14.36 @99.52 2.38 60ft 6.2810 330 ft and on that run all 1st and all 2nd and a bit of 3rd spun running at coastal plains raceway, NC (yes i have vids maybe ill post later)

 

oh yea, two cars both identical everythings same even the power and if they both left the start line on 0 they would stay even infinetly except car 1 leaves the line at 1 second and the 2nd car leaves the line at 1.5 seconds car 1 will arrive .5 seconds before car 2 Reaction does matter.

 

Only matters for who reaches the line first...BUT NOT FOR YOUR ET's.

 

Also, if you ran better than the 14.99, why didn't you tell us? Your 14.99 run was just a bad run then.

But with almost 9lbs, you should have been better than 14.36. It's better but still not it's best.

 

because the 14.3 run was not the stock kit its self at a stock level it was with 2 lbs more boost and 14.3 was the best at the 8.9lbs stock boost 7.4lbs theres no way to drive it better just all out need better traction

No there is a way to drive it better, you know to learn how to drive with traction issues...

 

hey post up those vidz

 

I'll post up the vid of my 14.8@94.3 in my bone stock 4th gen my first time at the track in that particular car, durring my first run of the day, if there is any interest.

EDIT: I would tell you my times after all of the upgrades I've done, but I haven't got a chance to run at the track yet, working 65 hours a week can be a bitch.

</TD></TR></TABLE>I don't buy this and here's why. With traction issues, your trap should still reflect your power so it should still be higher than that 94mph. So unless you just coasted instead of hitting 4th gear, you should be trapping higher than 94mph on 7.4lbs.

I'd assume you have a dyno from the tuning. What hp are you pushing?

 

I ran a best 14.3 and worst 15.1 with my 1992 lude with stock jdm h22 motor. basic bolt ons aem cai, reactive headers. the suspension was **** ( it would lift a foot). and I had bald tires. and full interior.
His car has major problems in NA and then in FI form. I think you need to figure out the problem before you start upping boost. run a leak down/compression test. and find out if you have a fuel problem.
Get this thing tuned.

 

If you know traction was causing the shitty E.T., why are you bitching about spending 4K on a turbo set up. Go buy some slicks or BFG drag radials and hope you have sufficient driving skills to get your bucket into the 13s

 

he better hit 13s with slicks and 7psi. if a boosted h23 can do it.

 

Dude you smoked some good **** or something. 14.6 with an h23 and bolt ons eh? Your 160 hp car runs better than most s2000's I've seen then. You weigh more and have 80 less hp. Just don't see it bro!

 

PULLIG I dont believe a 14.6 can be done with a stock h23.

 

dude why not i ran it in the winter time but i mean why would i lie i got slips to prove it but thas the only proof i got believe it or not i dont care i just know thats what it ran

I don't see why he would have a reason to lie. So if you really did it with just I/H/E like you say you did then, . Hopefully I'll be low low low 14's when I go back with my I/H/E combo, plus light wheels (The stock ones from my year weigh 23 pounds ) and sticky tires with my H22 lude.
