How Much Power Needed To Run 11s Quarters

[manuel]

How many kws will i need to make to run into the 11 second bracket with suspension mods and full racing slicks.

Planning on going to the creek with 250kw atw with full slicks when car gets tuned.

im probably wrong so i may end up getting corrected, but if you can drive i think thatl be good for mid to low 12's

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

that setup is capable of 11's

200hp

what a ca ca poo poo

Actually no. 200 hp is well and truly enough to run 11's in a less than 800kg car.

That must be a VERY stripped out R33 GTST

How Much Power Needed To Run 11s Quarters, want my r33 gtst to run high 11s quarters

?

[The Dan]

lol, yeah I'm only messing mate.

There is plenty of threads on this subject already.

With what you have, assuming you don't have some silly laggy turbo, all the suns and moons align and there is a 30 knot SE wind, you can pull off an 11 with 250rwkw in that car but in reality, I would expect you to run somewhere around a 13.5. If you get many many passes in while you're there you may.....may get into high 12's......maybe

[R31Nismoid]

200-220rwkw will get you into the 12.9's on street tyres... and he has slicks.

250rwkw + slicks = high 11

However, you being able to pilot the car to an 11 is another issue entirely and for the first few meetings highly unlikely

My previous car before owning my r33 gtst was a 1972 toyota corolla with a SR20 turbo running 180kw atw. Full sleeper look, car weighed 950kg and was fully engineered. Raced it at the creek on street semi slicks and ran a 12.8s quarter. Put mickey thompson full race slicks, got heaps of advice from local veteran racers at track and ran 11.89 after 6 passes on the full slicks. 11.89 s at 117mph with 1.7 sixty foot. Due to family illness i sold the car and later settled for a skyline . I cant get away from the nissan family.

Any way i would like my skyline to run this time. it will keep me happy for a short time

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Its much easier to talk in mph, then if the suspension and the driver sort everything out then a good ET will follow. Anyone can run a good mph for that particular car.

[boostn0199]

Its not really a question you can put a power figure to and guarantee because you gota have the package of suspension tyres practice to run the car at its best at that power but yeah generally mid 200kw range and a good drag suspension setup wit semis and being pretty familair with driving the car prob will see you in the 11s.

[Harey]

For a given weight, you can work out what mph you require to run an 11. Then it is quite possible to estimate a power figure to run a particular mph over the 1/4. Then the final step is to get the launch right (60'), then you have your 11 second 1/4 time.

My 33 GTST (Full street trim) had semi slick tyres on 16s (lost about 5km/h trap speed with 16's compared to my 18 street tyres) 268RWKW and did a 12.3 with 1.8 60'. Its probablly achievable will full slicks as i was still spinning off the line though.

[R31Nismoid]

Going by you sig it was 1.89... On semi's that is an average 60ft... you have a 11.9 there for sure mate

I used to manage a 1.9 60ft on 225 street tyres (220rwkw). Best ET in that config was 12.9X

See if you came to around 1.6 60ft, that would have been the 11 on semi's... i say you need to go again

It'll be easily achievable with full slicks, no question there... just comes down to driver

[MattsR33]

Yeah it was a 1.89 60' mate, Still span off the line abit, It was hard launching it as my turbo comes on quite late (4300) on a Stock internal 25. 0.82 exhaust housing with highflow turbo. Would be achievable though for sure! Just need some slicks

[R31Nismoid]

What type of semi's? Track or proper Drag ones?

I wouldn't think some Mickeys or simlar would be spinning that hard off the line so you wouldn't even need slicks to get your 11 as all you need really is a 1.6 60ft and that's achieveable for sure without slicks.

[MattsR33]

Yeah, they wernt like full semi slicks like the Mickey T's ET streets or anything, I had Toyo R1R's on stock 32R rims. Much much bettter then the cheap tyres i had on my 18's so thought id give them a go. Best 60' i could get with my 18's on was a low 2.1. If i had Mickey T's i should of been very close to an 11.
