Ran my Evo again tonight at Sacramento Raceway. It was kind of warm out (+1500da) so I wasn't expecting any crazy times. I made 7 good passes and then I smoked the clutch. I tried to let the clutch cool and make another pass 30min later but it just smoked again on the launch. It felt fine driving home but I think I'm going to try adding a ACT clutch in the near future and going back out with a C16 tune. Here's my results...

1.71 60ft 7.62 @ 89.144 8th 11.935 @ 113.978 (5:10pm)
1.72 60ft 7.60 @ 91.551 8th 11.875 @ 114.485 (5:15pm)
1.71 60ft 7.64 @ 90.972 8th 11.917 @ 114.766 (5:18pm)
1.67 60ft 7.60 @ 88.861 8th 11.920 @ 111.035 (5:53pm)
1.65 60ft 7.52 @ 90.065 8th 11.805 @ 111.695 new best et (5:56pm)
1.65 60ft 7.59 @ 88.705 8th 11.935 @ 110.602 (6:28pm)
1.63 60ft 7.52 @ 89.688 8th 11.820 @ 111.152 new best 60ft (6:40pm)

Really impressive driving, but you really should considering to let the car cool down a little more from run to run, as shown from the decreased trap speeds. You are losing as much as 30whp just because the car is running hot back to back.

Good job nonetheless.

 

you should be trapping higher thats for sure, otherwise nice ET's.

 

I believe the traps are misleading, because he was either heatsoaking at the end of 4th and knocking, which killed his traps, or it was his clutch giving way in 4th. This was great driving - launching AND shifting - but he's not so amazing that he can run 11.8s at 111. Those are 114+ traps that were knocked down due to extenuating circumstances. Still great driving...

 

Good driving. I think your clutch is definately slipping in 4th. Happened to me.

 

why is it necessary to trash talk him.......



Nice driving man! 11.80 with couple mods, cant top that!

 

Thanks everyone.

I would be very happy if my stock clutch was slipping in 4th causing low trap speeds. It did seem like the rpm's shot up when banging 4th. I have almost 100 passes at the drag strip on the stock clutch and probably another 100 passes on the street. Plus I now have 6,300 miles on the car so it's probably time for a new clutch...

 

Your right. I did heat soak the car. I drove 1hr 45min to the track in traffic and started running 5 minutes after I arrived and never really let the car cool down all night. I'll run a cool car next time out to make sure I get optimal times....

 

Huh? Where do you see any trash talk? Get your head out of your ***, man. I congratulated and said it was great driving, which I do not do very often. I was simply explaining why the 111mph traps were misleading. It was the furthest thing from trash talk, you monkey.

 

Thanks. Looks like you topped with me with your ix, lol.

 

i have more mods than you.... You have the better setup =-)

 

If he is knocking at the top of 4th, wouldn't an aftermarket FMIC cure that issue? Like an AMS Street or a Buschur core?


I agree that 100 octane and Cams should be a higher trap and curb knock, atlast 115+ MPH trap and like a mid 11.

 

An FMIC would probably be a band-aid. I don't think it was the FMIC's fault in this case, but rather the clutch slipping and/or hotlapping too quickly. Again, a more efficient FMIC would probably help in this case with hot weather, but it would be masking the real problem(s).

 

I agree the clucht is slipping

 

HAHA that's the funniest thing I read all day . . . "you monkey"

people just don't expect nice things from you and when you do say somthing positive, somehow it's a bad thing too




PS, Nice driving!! 11.8@112/113ish <- a lot faster / better driving then me (12.2@112) in an VIII. Can't wait to join you in the 11s
