ARGHHHHH...tonight was my first time at Mission raceway up here in Vancouver and i managed to pull some chitty times in the R
my mod(s) was just a J's intake and i was launching at 2-3k

First try:
R/T .935
60' 2.800
330 6.984
1/8 10.305
MPH 74.81
1000 13.134
1/4 15.563
MPH 94.12

Second Try:
R/T .373
60' 2.509
330 6.672
1/8 10.232
MPH 69.70
1000 13.218
1/4 15.721
MPH 90.42

ARGGGHHHHHHHH me mad!!!!!!!

 

damn man, work on your launch and shifting. You had a way better 60' foot time then the first but you ran slower. I'd say just keep on practicing(sp?)....

 

on my second run i couldn't get the car into 3rd and wasted about .5? on the track

 

practice its the only way, don't forget the weather might affect the car.

 

Damn, I didn't think people could be so bad.

Try launching just a tad bit higher than 2000 RPM bro... like say 4000-4500.

thanks for the tips man...yeah i didn't know it was gonna be this bad hahaha

the track was perfect today though, not to hot and not too cold and the track had oddles of grip...on my 3rd run i was gonna launch at 5 but it got cancelled cause of rain
and i think we're at sea level here

 

Oh don't feel too bad. You'll get better and better each time you race. The first time I took my GS-R to the strip I was only pulling 16's! Years later I'm doing mid 14's in the R.

 

try launching at 5 or so.. i had times liek your till I launched at 5 best time for me in stock ITR was a 15.01

 

thtas a mid 14 trap

My first run?
yeah i suck harsh ***** at launching....i think the problem is that i'm shiftin a bit early in first and second gear (around 7900-800) and i'm a bit slow since it's my first time

 

The first run ever in my ITR was 15.4, second run was 15.1. By th end of the day I had 15.0.

With some bolt ons, weight reduction and mad driving skillz I managed to pull a 14.3

 

nice 60footers!

I agree.... I find 4.5K, a good 'aggressive' take off speed!!

Shifting at 8,500 to 8,700 rpm (indicated) will yield the best results. The limiter won't kick in until about 9,000 rpm (indicated).

There is all this discussion about how our tacs are "so inaccurate" but I think it's simply a safety measure (to help people from constantly hitting the limiter and give some room for human error while shifting aggressively). Tacs in all Type R's are <U>consistently</U> inaccurate, meaning that the engineers could have made them dead on.

while this argument has its merit, I believe that it is untrue. My tach is dead accurate

So does your rev limiter kick in at 9,500 indicated RPM?

no...when I had stock ecu, it indicated 8400 RPM

now, I am running hondata and I have a 9100 RPM limiter and it indicates 9100 RPM
