HELLLLLLLZ YEA! I've been to the track b4 with a supercharged B18b ina EK and a turbo B18C (which came back to bite me on this night) but this was a TOTALLY different experience!

So I just got an ACT Sprung 6 puck installed 2 weekends ago ( still getting used to driving it let alone launching, lol), by last saturday I had right around 397 miles on it, so I called the local guy here that does my tuning just to double check that I would be ok, lol. He said I will be fine launching the car with that amount of miles, so from there on it was a green light! One great tip that he game me that i never would have thought of was to fill a pump sprayer with about 1/2 ice 1/2 water and give the intercooler a couple sprays right b4 you line up! So I got that ready and got to the track around 6:30ish. Ill do a quick break down of my runs, and keep in mind, 1ST TIME RACING THE EVO, 1ST TIME LAUNCHING THE EVO ON NEW CLUTCH AND ONLY LAUNCHED ABOUT 6 TIMES TOTAL WITH STOCK CLUTCH!

So first run:
60'- 2.04 (terrible)
1/4-12.8
Trap-111.xxx (dont have slips right in front of me)

So I called phuong ( my tuner) after this 1st pass cause I was pissed at my 60' but I knew it wouldnt be amazing since this was the first time doing this, lol.

2nd Run:
60'-1.87
1/4-12.6
Trap-111.xxx ( I do remember my trap was lower than 1st run)

I thought the 2nd run was so so.

3rd or 4th Run: ( cant remember)
60'1.82
1/4-12.5
Trap-111.xxx

This was the fastest of the night for me, funny part was they put me against one of those top fuel dragsters which ran like a 6 or something, lol. First time I couldnt hear my own car at the line, BUT I think I was starting to reel him in towards the top of the track............................................. .........lol.


I waited about 30-45 mins between runs to let it cool down. I had about 3 other runs i think, the other times varied between 12.7-13.0 and just to defend myself, i jacked up HARD on the 13.0, I think my 60' was a 2.1, lol. That was my newb run of the night, i think i get one of those, lol. Ohh and the reason the drag racing from my ek's came back to bite me was because when I would launch those I would have to feather the throttle like mad. So when I got the Evo up on the two step I would hold the throttle there and feather is after launching as opposed to pegging the throttle and letting the two step do its job, ooh well but thats also how I know the car has a lot more in it.

Overall I was pretty happy with the night. I was happy with my times, but I think the best part about it is once I get launching down to 1.6 60ft's I KNOW the car is capable of a 12.1-12.3 1/4. I didnt adjust any tire pressure, I had a 1/2 tank of fuel, full tank of meth, all interior, i went down the damn track with my radio on and I would guess it was around 75-80dg out side. The mods are in my sig but the only major mod would have to be the Meth with the AWESOME tune by Phuong (local in PHX).

I really think I could get this car in the 11's just by learning how to drive it better and getting a tune by Phuong using 100oct fuel with Meth! But I think Im going to be adding the 100oct tune with a set of GSC S1's probably within the next month or two. If you guys have any questions or anything feel free to ask.

Nice times! Keep working at it and they will keep dropping.

 

I see low 12s in your future.
