First run was a [email protected] here we go another dissapointing night in the 14's

Tyres are a bit hard so did my first ever burnout there (if you could call it that) on the second run and shocked the hell outta me got a [email protected]:)

I couldn't make it to the 'plex tonight, but I was on the phone to a friend during your second run and I got the good news as it happened Congratulations!

I hear no one stepped up to take the stock cooler, stock turbo title. C'mon fellas

hey dewd u should take it round to the big fists house. he;s got all the stuff to convert it to the comput-a.

A white R33 took up the stock intercooler challenge and posted a 13.389 , didn't have the stock turbo tho:p

[Gradenko]

Damn, I didn't think anyone would have the guts (lack of sense?) to run a bigger turbo on the stock 'cooler. 13.389 is an excellent time tho, did you pick his brain about engine and suspension mods?

[Guest KILLER-T]

So do u think the burnout helped your times or was the first run just a bad one

[Guest Rhino]

Chris pretty much just drove it off the line the first time I think, the second and third he stalled her up a bit.

I dont think the 13.389 guy had a clue, he basically said that its the way it came in from Japan and he's only had it a while. He did mention that in Japan it had some extra stuff that was taken off, like the front mount.

Im beginning to believe in burnouts to heat up street tyres again

R34 Tell us what tyres profile and height please......

oh what boost were you

Oscar did a 13.67 silvia Ks after a burnout on stockies

His best before hand was about 13.9

Yeah it works for some. The problem is that some street tyres will lose 'chunks' when they get burnouts done on them and of course they get 'inflated' as they get hot so if you don't run a significatly lower pressure they end up over-inflated at the take off.

If I can manage to get down there tomorrow I'm going to try 19/20psi and burnouts to hopefully get less than a '15':D That is if my super cheap 205 rear tyres don't lose chunks of rubber and I don't drive like a wally.

Sure will. Everyone knows that the intercooler goes bad if you don't keep it in the fridge:D

I'm really only going down to beat everyone who lines up next to me (or at least try), going for times is not a luxury I can afford as I will be going straight from work and my boot will have the usual 100kg or so of crap in it. Besides I remember racing at Ravo's and the best part is having a 'legal' race with another hoon and having specators (even tho they say nasty things about how slow you are at least you can't hear them).

My rear tyres were old and super hard bridgestones

225/45-17's inflated to 32psi

Boost pressure is set at 0.8 bar
