Aight this is the deal, I hear a lot of people talking **** about 1/4 mile times on an ITR chassis
I see bubblebacks with b20's and b18's running only mid 12's or higher in that light *** car. Their motors fully built and everything.
I got my car partly gutted and running just minor bolt-ons. Jun stage 3 cams, cam gears, AEM CAI, ACT clutch, RC 270's, and JUN ECU, header and exhaust. THATS IT
So what do you guys think?? Possible? Hell yeah right!!! Only
I already ran 13.025 at 104 mph on 15" Bogart slicks
Open to all suggestions and comments!!!

 

Oh dear... I say run Oh... and what MK says!

Headwork. Hondata. SMS header. Remove power steering, if you haven't already. Get some motor mount inserts, if you haven't already.

 

Power steering and AC removed already..Also motor mount inserts already in...And I think I did everything for weight reduction already

 

time slips?

what kind of whp do u make?

 

Get your body weight down to about 90 lbs and you're good to go.

 

Are you using an aftermarket flywheel? What about the crank pulley?

More compression will really help. Is there some reason you want to keep the bottom end stock?

 

96+ hatchbacks are only about 300 pounds lighter than an ITR. then you mention yours is stripped

 

JUN flywheel and stock crank pulley. Heard those single pulley's aren't good??
Car has 197 whp. Just trying to do it before going into the block!!

 

what's your 60ft? and your suspension setup?

 

Dude, what you need is more compression.

 

what header what exhuast?? That may help you out. SMS header might help out, a better exhaust might help (all depending on what your current set up is)

 

if you have any wheel-hop, consider the JimFab front-x-member w/radius arms (traction bars). also, stiffer springs/struts might help, as will practice. if these don't do it, and you really need the extra power, have your cylinder head milled .030" or use a thinner headgasket to raise compression, and be sure to re-tune cam gears and air/fuel/ignition timing, but you're already so close, i'd say just practice as-is.

(if you use a thinner headgasket or mill the head, be sure to shave the dowels which locate the head onto the block appropriately, or you might mix oil and water as well as lose compression/power, and possibly ruin your engine.)

nice work so far, and good luck.

 

ONLY 300 lbs lighter? every lbs makes a difference

 

the point is, he's making it sound like the 300 (or even less since his car is stripped) pound difference is supposed to make hatchbacks run low 12's high 11's compared to his 13.xxx

 

what are your 60fts?

 

ran a 12.8 @ 105 mph this past weekend at e-town.

 

pistons headgasket, higher compression

 

mmmmmmm jun 3's soon soo very very soon

 

JATO rockets.

 

bOOst would own joo - get a turblo fo dat biatch
