50/50 (110/93) 1/2 tank

1st run: 22lbs, bogged like a champ

2nd run: turned to 23-24lbs, missed 4th

(between these runs talked to a guy from Titan, don't know who he was but he said to try launching around 6000)

3rd run: 6000 launch, 24-25lbs, clean run best of the night

4th run: 6000 again, best launch ever, 1.78 60', missed damn 4th, any guess on what could have been?

Thats all, I was also trying the "no lift shifts" on some of the shifts, never on 4th though, just because I have had problems with it not going in before.

8050:

 

Hell, yeah, improving every time. You've come a long way from that first time. You didn't pick up much MPH, but you improved your driving alone by .2s. Keep it up. Here's a few points of interest:

1) The 4th run had a better 60', but your 330' and 1/8th were already slower than the 3rd run, so your 1/4 would not have been better than 12.25. However, you did hit 89.xx mph in the 1/8th on that one, so that's probably your fastest 1/8th mph ever.

2) Hmm, you were trying to no lift all the shifts except 4th? That should be the EASIEST one of all and is the only one I ever bothered doing back when I was running 12.0s with the ACT. WIth my Exedy, I can NLTS every shift with ease, but for you, 4th should be the first and only one you do. After you get it down pat, then maybe try the others - they are much harder to do.

3) Honestly, though, the NLTS is less important than getting a good 60'. I also launch at 6000rpm, but 1.78 is still weak. Once you get some 1.6s, you'll be nipping at 11s like you wanted...

 

I just think my sincros are shot on my 4th, I have to full lift and make sure its in. No lift on 3rd was easy, maybe I did try it on 4th, I can't remember, but I did do it on a couple of gears.

I am still on the stock clutch, and at 37xxx miles. I don't know how good of a 60' I could get, but I am really happy with the 1.78. Slowly defeating poor driving.

 

I think once you switch clutches you will definitely hit 11's. I had a better 60' and trapped 2mph more and ran the same time as you. You are definitely alot better at shifting

 

Maybe I could hit 11's without the clutch, I still need a re-tune and that will be happening soon. But I do really need to get a clutch.

 

+1 for the improvements as you went on, by the way what mods are you running...

 

Ok,
1) Tubular Manifold + o2 housing
2) 3" stock Downpipe back, no cat
3) 3" intake pipe with ginormas k&n filter, 2.5" hard pipes all the way, Ebay IC
4) HKS 272/272
5) Restrictor mod with SS clutch line
6) Walbro pump
7) Forge mbc
8) Front Mount
9) AEM EMS(tuned before cams)

Thats it

 

What do you mean by 3" stock Downpipe back, no cat? You have the stock downpipe then a test pipe and cat-back?

 

I have stock down pipe, 3" the rest of the way, no cat, and not a test pipe. I made my exhaust. Its just one big peice with only 2 slight bends.

 

Um, so why are you running all those mods on a stock downpipe? That's senseless.

Also, if you have no cat, then that's a test pipe whether it's one piece or not...same thing. Dude, get a DP. You have a $1500 standalone ECU but have a homemade exhaust without a downpipe. What's going on upstairs?

 

Well I had got a downpipe, but I was having fitment issues, had to scrap it. I am just going to buy one, but havent yet. And, a lot.

 

All I have to say is one thing, Good Job!! I love Evo's, Too much fun..

 

Nice runs man, keep them up!

 

Thanks for all the "good run" comments. Now that I am getting better at the launch, I want to go again as soon as I can, but I really need to get a tune first. I hope I will be able to go again before the end of the month.

 

Were you tuned on 110 or 93?
