I was out at fontana this weekend got to run three times. Temps at the track were from between 55-70 degree's
1st run 2nd run 3rd run
60'.... 2.070 2.030 1.892
330... 5.648 5.590 5.346
1/8... 8.539 8.540 8.192
mph... 83.60 82.39 84.13
1000... 11.042 11.104 10.665
1/4... 13.132 13.229 12.731
mph... 108.26 106.85 109.63

First run of the day I was hiting the 5k rev limiter and quick sliping the clutch but bogged . The second run I ended up sliping the clutch way too much and got a nice sea food smell from my clutch. At that point I disconnected the rev limiter and rev'ed to 6k and dumped it and off I went with no bog or slip. I think when I get my exhuast and a nice 60' time I should hit low 12's.

 

As you can see, there's a world of difference with a decent launch, even though your 3rd one was still not very good. Trapping 109.6 without a tune or exhaust with just 91oct (I assume) is amazing. I only trap 110 on 93oct with full exhaust and a tune. You will be capable of low 12s with the full exhaust...it will just require some more practice with the non-5k-limited launches.

 

good run, I didn't have the cajones to visit the track till at least 5k.

 

I was on 91oct. I know my last 60' still wasnt good I wasnt really ready when the light went green. I did pretty good compared to the other evo's their. Im going back on the 14th of next month to try again. I hope with my exhuast and maybe some 100oct runing 23-24psi I will hit low 12's.

 

Yeah, that mph is unheard of for 91oct on the stock exhaust and no tune. I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing, especially on a bad launch. You have a lot to look forward to. As I mentioned, I only am able to trap 110mph with a full exhaust and base flash in 55-degree weather while also running more like 22psi vice your low 20psi. I also hit 88mph in the 1/8th where you hit just 84, but then your top end (25mph back 1/8th) is insane for having no exhaust and low boost.

 

I knew something was up with my car when I could pull from my budies 06 IX Evo. He had the exact same mods as me plus a full exhuast. I guess I got a wensday built car

 

Wow, those are some great times on 91 octane. I was also there on Saturday. What color Evo were you? How were you running so well without pulling timing on 91? Best I could do at Fontana on 91 octane with no fuel computer was 13.20's at 103 MPH. The only way to improve my times on 91 was with a fuel computer and my water injection system. I was able to pull off a 12.99 @ 105 MPH.

 

Man some cars are just stronger than others. Some are just more knock sensitive I guess. 109mph on 91 oct with hardly any mods and no tuning. Wonder if your car is boosting a lil more than your gauge is reporting and what the AF/R are.

 

Were you the older guy from the LA area. I talked to you before we got in for tech inspection. You said you were hoping for 12's or something like that. I also own a silver evo but its a 05. I saw you run and you hit like a 13 something.

 

Older LOL, yeah sounds like me. Was your name Tye or Tyler?

 

I have a boost controller and its set to 20psi . The boost spikes to like 20.5-21 and stays at 20psi till 7200rpm.

 

Brian is my name. You also have the vinshu computer and said something about dyno flash. I said forget all that and go right to aem. but I was talking to the kid that was their looking at your car.

 

Tio if u are older I am ancient. Man he has a freak. I guess the 10.5 hotside is makin a big difference. My 12.2-12.4, 110-111 mph, on my 1+, 100 oct tune seems like childsplay for the newer Evos. I see alot of stock turboed 05 and 06 Evos hittin 11s this year.

 

Yeah, I remember. Congratulations, you definitely have a strong running car. I actually ran my fastest times that day, a 12.83 @ 107 MPH, a 14.76 @ 89 MPH, my Xede didn't power up on that run, and a best of 12.75 @ 108 MPH. I was having a little trouble going into 4th gear on my runs due to my new clutch, but I'm still happy. Damn I need to get a 10.5 hotside to be more competitive .

 

Yeah, LOL, us old farts will be racing till the day we die .
