Hey everyone, went out to the track last night and made some passes with the Tour'. Weather was in the low 80's with moderate humidity(around70%) and a light wind. The track I run at, Moroso motorsports park is decently maintained, and is very close to sea level.
Upon arrival I met a few guys with Lancer EVO's, a WRX(modded), and a RSX Type-S(modded). All were very impressed with the craftmanship/design of the turbo kit and were anxious to see the car run. While they themselves had all anticipated their car's to run in the mid to low 13's, I could only dream of running that quick. They all wished me luck in the tech line and it was time to run.
Originally I had planned to run 7psi, but I noticed some mild detonation on the trip up and decided to run on the 5psi that turned 230whp/213whtq on the dyno a few weeks back.
My first run consisted of a feathered 3k clutch slip, and WOT once the car was moving to avoid spin/hop.
r/t .656
60' 2.367
330 6.161
1/8 9.206
mph 81.54
1000 1.822
1/4 14.019
mph 103.04
So close on the first run, and I was very excited to see the WRX go 14.1, and the EVO to go 14.2!
The EVO that had decided to not run until it cooled off congratulated me on a good run, and was dissapointed in his buddies that obviously goofed up.
The next two runs were nearly identical: Spin in first, second, and try and make up some time the rest of the run.
The fourth run was a little different. I decided to launch harder, and really try for a good sub 14 run.
r/t .540
60' 2.245
330 6.000
1/8 9.048
mph 81.17
1000 11.763
1/4 14.030
mph 100.24
As you can see the 60' dropped 1/10th, and the 1/8th dropped 2/10th's, but I missed the 3-4 shift resulting in the same damn thing!
Next run was another 14.00, but I knew she had more if I could focus on launching.
6th run of the night in less than three hours(not much cool down time):
r/t .471 whoops!
60' 2.238
330 5.970
1/8 9.012
mph 80.99
1000 11.632
1/4 13.833
mph 102.82
There she is, the elucid 13 sec. run. I parked the car after that....not wanting to press my luck, and being happy with the overall performance of the car...as were many other's.
The quickest I saw the WRX go was a 13.5 at 100, and the quickest I saw the EVO go was a 13.6 at 98. I had a few interesting runs including an 03' Lightning with spray that went 13.061 at 103 to my 14.000 at 102.78. My last run being the 13.8 was against a 00' Cobra with nitrous who I believed pooped himself when I was next to him the whole time...he ran a 13.406 at 105 to my 13.833 at 102.82.
This kit is awesome! 5psi, 3" exhaust, Quaife/clutch and I'm in the 13's on 215/45/17 radials with 39.5 psi tire pressure!
Sorry for the long post!
