Is this good? Evo IX 1/4 Mile results
Well I just took my Evo IX to the drag strip. The car is pretty much stock except for a HKS catback and a test pipe. Nothing else. Not to mention it was a pretty goodnite. The temp. was at about 70 degrees. This was my 1st time at the dragstrip with my IX or another car. My 1st run was not so good with a 13.818 and a trap speed of 106.08. I bogged the launch terribly on the first run. Second run was considerably better with a 1/4 mile of 13.329 and a trap speed of 106.88. I bogged the lauch just a little that time, but got a much better 1/4 mile time. Well Heres my results as its read on the reciept:
First Run: R/T...1.295 60'...2.378 330...6.082 1/8...9.087 MPH...81.08 1000...11.669 1/4...13.818 MPH...106.08 Second Run: R/T...570 60'...2.060 330...5.657 1/8...8.630 MPH...81.58 1000...11.196 1/4...13.329 MPH...106.88 I can probably get the car into high 12's with a better launch. What do you guys think? |
Yes! that 60' time should be 1.7 or better.
|
Yes, that's a 12.8 or 12.7 with a good launch, but the MPH is disappointing. Maybe it's the driving, but IXs can trap that or higher when stock, but your cat-back+TP is worth about 20whp, so that adds 2mph to the max trap. Hmm...
|
Your 60 foots are the weak point. The car seem to be making plenty of power looking at those trap speeds.
HOWEVER, take a good long time and read the board based on launches, clutches, T-Cases and such......if you are not interested in anything but the 1320, then be prepped for blowing up drivetrain parts trying to hit a 1.7 60ft. Its inevitable that it will happen if you continually race, that either you will cross the line and rev the car too high and stress the t-case too much OR, burn up the clutch on the slip. I'd say find a happy medium. 13.1 or 13.0 bone stock is a nice healthy time. Id hate to see you bust up that brandy new clutch. 5 grand, slip her to the 60 but make sure when you are at WOT that the clutch is fully out. If you go for a clutch, try an exedy carbon HD or Cusco Carbon. I love my Cusco Carbon. With minimal mods (exhaust, mbc and an afc) I was able to light all four tires if I caught it just right when the tires were cold. THe more carbon slips and gets hot, the more it grips. BEst of luck, keep us posted! |

Yea I know its me. I'm pretty sure with more practice and more balls I can break into 12's. I dont wanna hurt the drivertrain too much. Like I said that was my 1st time at the dragstrip with ANY car! Hopefully next time with more practice i'll be in the 12's.
My 60' is supposed to be 1.7 or better??? Thats gonna be tough. |

No sir. Just catback and test pipe. Dyno Flash would be coming soon though. {thumbup} |
warrtalon-Just curious what mph you think we should be running bone stock?? You forget we are in Florida and the humidity tonight at Moroso was rediculous. In fact, hold on a minute and I'll get the report.
Clear Feels Like: 59°F Humidity: 97% Wind: WNW at 3 mph |
I think 106 stock would be good. The temps are good, but the humidity isn't. I don't know how much humidity affects mph in good temps like that. I know it's a bad combo with heat like you guys normally deal with. The 103 traps were quite low, but the 106.8 is pretty good except for the 20whp worth of exhaust. Also, when I said I was disappointed, I wasn't disappointed in you guys, but rather the IXs themselves.

where you at moroso.....i had the black IX i ran a 13.2 @ 108 60' sucked...... 2.1 i have a cut out and test pipe

You will see a Big Time gain after a reflash. (12's) |
I believe with more practice (author of the thread) not only will your E.T. improve, but so will your MPH. I believe 108MPH is not out of the realm of possibility.
4 Wheel Slide- 13.2@108MPH (with a 2.1 60ft) is extremely good for just a Cutout and Test Pipe. With more practice, I could see you running a 12.5-12.6@108-109MPH. I mean just the addition of a Flash, and you could easily be trapping around 111-113MPH. I mean, that is amazing for your level of mods. The IX is amazing!!! |
Thanks buddy....i know i could have done better...i was just really nervous, and that made me hesistate...i didn't power shift either, so that might give me another .5 mph on my mph which would put me at a low 109. sucks everyone only got 2 runs. the track i'm going to next week can get at least 20 runs in a night. Hopefully it'll be a little cooler, the forecast for next week is suppose to be in the 60's. so everyone cross your fingers for me...

Let the clutch rest a minute before u start doing 20 consecutive runs down the track, especially since your new to the car and drag racing you might have to replace the stock clutch sooner then you think

i prolly will not run that much....its just horrible every1 was there for 3+ hours and ran twice.. i just wanna hit a 1.7 or 1.8 and be done with it.... annnnd...i already have clutch money lol....i just need to do some more research and see what would be best for me...i want something driveable and these are my planned up grades....cut out, test pipe, down pipe, 272/272, injen intake/hard pipe, lower incooler pipes, walbro if needed, ecu tune, manifold and o2....i had a 2004 a4 ultrasport previous to this car....quattro 6spd and i was able to pull 1.7's all night....that car was amazing easy to launch...almost impossible to mess up
|
Yeah the quattro is easy to launch. There is a way to unplug the rev limiter, I'm not sure if you know this? I'm not exactly a 100% on how, but other members, such as Warrtalon knows how to do this.
|
Yeah, you are correct, 3000ways. There is a way to disconnect the launch limiter, i've talked to warrtalon about it before. I'm sure most of you guys used to own a DSM before your evo. On the eclipse you can disconnect the clutch switch so you don't have to push the clutch in on starts. Well, you can do the same thing on the evos. Right next to where you disconnect the clutch switch for starts there is another small connector plugged in and that is for the launch limiter. All you have to do is unplug it and twist tie or zip tie it out of the way. I have seen a picture of it before but i don't have one on this computer. Maybe someone else could help out and post a picture of where to disconnect that stuff.

if some1 could post a picture that would be great thanks

I cut a 1.68 on the stock clutch using the revlimiter. It isnt necessary to remove it to cut good 60's but I think it helps for a lot of people.

Quick correction on the switch for the 5k limiter. It is not the switch right next to the clutch switch. It's much higher up above the fuse box near the top of the clutch pedal. There are 3 white connectors under the driver's side dash as you go up the clutch pedal, and the 5k limiter is the one at the top. The first one is the clutch switch (I always keep this disconnected), the 2nd is for cruise control (I wish), and the 3rd is the launch control switch (I keep it connected now that mine is set to 6k).
There are already writeups on this, so you can search for it by doing an advanced search for the term "5000" in topics only. It shows up right away. However, it's not even necessary...just get under there and find the white connector at the top of the fuse box. |
