1/8 to 1/4 mile conversion?

Ok so I have ran at qualcomm several times which is a 1/8 mile strip but I want to know the covernsion equation from 1/8mile to 1/4.

This is my stats.

et-8.04
60ft-1.80
mph-88

is there anyway to convert this to an approximate 1/4mile time.

Btw, I have a evo 9 gg when I ran that time it only had a tbe, and a base flash.

It always depends on how hard you pull in the back half, so there's no way to estimate, but since you're hitting 88mph in the 1/8th with a weak launch, you will likely hit 113-114 in the 1/4 and hit 12.3-12.4.

I'm basing this off my 7.76@88mph in the MR that ended up being 12.26@110.00. I had you beat badly at the 1/8th, but you would likely pull much harder on the top-end, which would allow you to catch up some, but probably not quite match 12.26. If you can get that launch down with that power, you could do a 12-flat in the 1/4...but you need to drive to a full drag strip at some point in time.

I trapped 89.58 in the 8th so does that mean i will trap higher than 110 in the 1/4
?

Not necessarily, since you don't have cams, but it is likely that you will. 89.5mph is freakin FLYING in the 1/4. I never did that much mph in the 1/8th unless I was on race gas. My only pump gas try with the mail-in Dynoflash was the 7.76@88.5 (12.26@110), and then my next run on race gas was 7.63@90.8 (12.000@113.7). Your 89.5 is very fast and is right between those two. However, on stock cams, you might only see 110-111 with less top-end than cammed Evos.

Yea i noticed that my 8th is really good. Average of 88-89 almost 90 and this was on pump, but, the 1/4 best was 110.But it has been 107 in the 1/4 lately, do you think this 90 degree weather is killing my top end?

Do I think? Does a bear **** in the woods? You know the answer to that question. However, a 3mph drop is a bit severe for hot weather.

Hey thanks warr.

Now I ran it again on 110oct, tbe, base flash, 02housing, mbc, boosted at 1.60bar and finally got the slip down pat now.

Here are the stats

et-7.75
60ft-1.71
mph-90.5


This was when it was around 78degrees @ 10pm outside. Its been hot lately. I know its awd but just out of curiousity what tire pressure do you run and are you running on the stock tires cause I am?

Now I know cams arent out yet but is there anything else I can do to maximize the top end?

Wow, starting to get really fast now. The 90.5mph is getting close to 11s range. You got better with the 60', 1/8th and mph, so you're car is definitely fast. You see above that I did 7.63@90.8 on my best run ever, so you're not far off my 12.000 run. It's also possible that you will have more top-end than I did on that run, because my 1/4 mph was only 113.7. If you can trap 114-115, then 11s are closeby.

All my best times were on the stock Advans, and I was around 22-24psi to avoid spinning. You can probably turn the boost up to 1.7bar (24.5psi) next time. There's not much you can do for top-end without cams.

Ok awesome. It felt alot better when I finally got the slipping down.

Now I plan on boosting to 1.72bar (25psi) when I get a chance to put the rest of my mods in. I still have to put the IC pipe kit and the mini battery kit and the ported coated manifold. After all this its time for the custom flash. However, I want to make a run before the flash and after the flash.

I wish I had a 1/4 track here, but for now I am going to have to rely on other peoples numbers to get an idea or estimation.

With the next set of mods and at 1.72bar I hope to see traps at around 94mph.

Wish me luck . Hey warr someday with these basic mods maybe we could do a head to head sometime for fun. We basically will have similar setups.

It'll be hard to trap 94mph w/o cams.

Well 95 degree weather will definitely make a car loose power.. You dont have that kind of hot weather like we do were you live so its different..

I ran 12.1@111.5 in 95-degree weather with 80% humidity last August in southern MD, so I've dealt with my fair share of hot weather. I don't get that type of weather here in CO, but the altitude is far more damaging to power than hot weather.

Skilmatic, we'll never be similar, because I don't have a IX. IXs are much faster, especially with mods. I wouldn't put 94mph as your goal, because that is highly unlikely. 92mph in the 1/8th would be a good goal. At that point, you'd have gone faster than I ever have in my Evo, which was 91.3mph in the 1/8th.
