was just thinking about this and have never heard of someone running 10's or anything on street tires. i did once see a turbo CRX with 18inch Volks run a 13.3...

anyway so whats the quickest a Honda has run on STREET tires or drag radials, DOT approved....oh and FWD

 

I ran 12.4@126 and i wasnt even trying. Not to sound cocky or anything. I just put a brand new ITR tranny in and didnt want to kill it. I just granny shifted it until top of second. i got raped out of the hole by a single cam. check out the video >>>

nice. that was on Nittos?

 

yes 555r's

 

The Quickest is 9psihybrid on this board.He ran a 11.88@126 on bfg drag radials.

Any idea what his 60 was on that run???

 

how much did you boost? how many psi for tires?

 

high 11's with a real street tire and real street car(no wheelie bars, full glass, pump/race gas)
.......and thats pushing it.

 

Here ya go..... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=304883

 

my run was on 19psi of boost and 15lbs of pressure in the tires. by the way my 60ft was a 2.5. once i get the tranny with the quaife ill be going for low 11's. i'll be running 26 psi and should be able to pull a 2.0 60ft.

128pmh bitch hahah i like that.Sounds like nitto 555r's can do the job.Tell me if this is a deal.205/45/15 $105/ea shipped.

 

12.4@126 vs 11.8@126..sounds like BFGs do the job better

 

HEHE yea that does sound better.Man i need to get some tires.It will be either of those.

 

did you watch the video?? i wasnt attempting to run a good 60ft. i was just looking to see what mph i would get. my 555r's will out hook whatever bf tire the 11.8 car was running for only one reason. i was running 245/50/16's i had to notch the bumper to make them fit and they work!! i doubt the bf's were near that size.

 

no,not yet,itll take to long at -56k

i would hope so,they were alot smaller..205/50R15s....but so far,your 555s havnt out hooked them,when it does run better than 11.8 then ill believe that
.

 

Good point I'll be sure to post once i get the new tranny in and make some passes.

 

 

actually, robby(9psihybrid) cut a 1.9 60ft on that run w/ the bfg's. and they were 225/50/15 not 205. you should be able to do the same considering u have a wider taller tire but size for size bfg's will out hook the nitto's again and again.

 

couple of things:

the bfg's are much better than the nitto's, especially the 225's.

running a big t3/4 hybrid(60-1) or a ball bearing t4 60-1 is going to net better times than a larger turbo, such as what i had, a 62-1. when that thing hit full boost, it was rediculous. i have hit 60's in the 1.90's on t3/4's, but with my 62-1 i was running like 2.20 60's. had to really be careful out of the hole, or it was "spin city". big time. lol.

there are better tires out there. not daily drivable in my opinion, but still legal radials for weekend racing/street racing. american racing makes a 26x8" radial you can use on turbo hondas.

2 step boost controller is a must. preferably you have a small wastegate spring, not a 1 bar spring like i had. get out of the hole @ about 8 lbs, and in top of 2nd or in third, depending on your set up/tire, hit high boost.

traction bars, bushings, correct camber/alighnment are also a must for the best launch, street tire or slick.

 

I believe M/T makes a ET street in 26x8x15 that can work on our cars. that is a HUGE tire though, much too big for most of us out there. I think someone needs to come out w/ a 24x8x15 ET street, I would run it and im sure tons of others would too. anyone think making a petition with tons of names on it would make a tire company consider making this sized tire?

 

the american racing tire is better for imports. it has a decent sidewall, but its not as much of a "slick" as the et street. if you have say, 350+ hsp, then the american racing tire would be your choice for drivability and performance.

 

No,it was the 205s,click on the link i posted above,he says what size he was using at the time of the 11.8 pass.

 

umm, No. i qouted this from the link u posted. "I added a full exhaust and muffler and switched to 225/50/15 BFG G-Forces from 205/50/15"

 

lol...OMG i must be reading it japanese style..from right to left sorry your 100% correct...225s..my mistake.

 

is the american racing tire dot approved?
is this the same company that makes those cheezy wheels?
