I was down in Pueblo colorado yesterday running at the track there. There was a turbo 98 Type R. He said he had a T3/T4 custom turbo and was running 16lbs of boost. His best run was a 12.4 and ran 3 other 12.6 runs. I thought this was pretty amazing seeing it is at about 5000 ft of altitude.I think he could probably get into the 11's at sea level. Just wanted to get some thoughts on this. My friend actually raced him in his 92 prelude and has the slip of the run.
thanks

 

Very nice....boost

 

A 12.4 quarter mile in Colorado ?

Dayum! Thats some serious shizzle

 

....

thats just simply, amazing.

 

 

boost OWNZ

 

Keep in mind that boosted motors aren't affected by altitude nearly as much as NA motors. Atmospheric pressure is lower at altitude, and it's atmospheric pressure that's filling the cylinders. A turbo's intake almost never sees atmospheric pressure, only the boost.

 

that would be like 3's on slicks y0!

 

that shows "Hondas" can always bring miracles

 

12.4 @ 16 psi. He should be high 11s with that much boost...

 

Look where he ran it. 5000 feet above sea level.

He must have done a build up, I talked to that guy a couple years ago when it was running 8psi on the stock motor. Back then he was running 14.2, which up here is still beating an average C5.

 

Thats faster than a Z06!

 

By alot, like more than a second.

 

stock z06's hit 12.4's all day....but damn the elevation, this itr is indeed faster than a z06

 

The fastest I've seen a ZO6 run here in Colorado was a 13.5.

 

newt2:

Do you know what stock ITRs are running in CO? My *** dyno says its a good second slower than at sea level. Id guess mid 15s.

 

I hit a 15.9, ITR00-700 hit a 15.8.

Our two runs are the best I've heard of completely stock. Another guy I know hit 15.7 with a Comptech Icebox, Comptech flywheel, Spoon 15"s and an ACT clutch.

Most of the stock ones I see hit about 16.1 to 16.3.

 

I was orginally from Pueblo. The track there isn't all that great either. Amazing run for the PMI track. Where was the ITR from? I know it wasn't from Pueblo. Pueblo sits excatly 4695 feet above sea level. What other kind of cars ran that day. I was in town for the weekend but didn't stop by.

 

He lives in the Springs. I think he works for or is associated with Trendz somehow.

 

Thats about what I thought. That should put him into the 11s at sea level for sure.

Your 15.9 was stock, no? What do you run with the s/c now?

 

My best is a 15 flat, though mostly a lot of 15.1s.

I've got a standalone ECU that I'm working on right now. When I get it finished I'm hoping to see more like 14.6s or so.

 

Sounds good

Second Creek will be calling my name in about 2 more months

 

Do you have a Lotus Super 7 too?

I may have seen you at autox's around here, there's been a Super 7 at a couple of events I went to last year.

 

haha... Not yet. Could've been my GFs dad though. I havent been in CO since last August, but Ill be back soon

That'll be time for a H-T meet Second Creek style!

 

It very well might of been.

IM me when you're here. I'll go out and run with you.
