We are at 2800 miles now and yesterday we did another dyno after changing the oil and we have picked up another 5 WHP and more than 5 ft lbs torque pretty much across the board. I imagine that 14.8 full interior would be quite doable if the temps were halfway decent - maybe even 14.7 if it cooled down enough. Unfortunately we aren't likely to see cool temps here until October / November.

15.5 under 96 degrees outside, humid as hell, launching at 4.5k and 3.5k.
This day modded Boss 302 was running 12.0, and a modded GTR was at 11.3. So the track here is pretty shitty. I know theres room for a high 14s. |
I ran a 15.486 @ 89.43 mph
R/t .411 60' 2.418 330 6.538 1/8 9.998 Mph 71.16 1000 12.955 It was 98 degrees and humid as hell at eleven pm. Gotta love Arizona. |
thanks for sharing.... I always though this car would be a 16 sec car. thank god its not.

I went drag racing for the first time in my life yesterday in my FR-S. It was my friend's birthday and he wanted me to drag the car for amusement. I had 5 runs. My 2nd and 4th run were my best. However, my best run didn't really get its final time recorded. Comparing the times, my best run was probably in the neighborhood of 14.79, since I was about .155 ahead of my second best run at the 1000' mark, and of course, the difference would be larger at the 1/4mi mark.

No sir, my previous car was a 2006 Sentra

And I'm gonna take my FR-S to PBIR (Moroso) soon as well. I think I can cut a 1.9 60' on stock tires.....Too bad my wheels with the DR's from my Celica won't fit the FR-S :/ |

Just went back again last night with some friends Met a pretty cool guy with a turbo'd scion TC that I went up against about three times. Best against him was a 14.727 That's with the greddy intake and exhaust, coilovers and stock tires. Left out my spare tire. |

What has been the lowest time for an auto? want to race mine but don't want to be dissapointed. BTW, This is the funnest car for autocross!!

Hi Guys , I love this thread.
Just a quick question, I own a Toyota 86 (South Africa).When you launch do you leave tc on or off and what about vsc ? I've tried both ways and still get that power loss from the car when it feels you need help controlling the car. Only managed a 16.5 at the coast with low temps and no wait reduction. Shitty track. Killarney Cape Town Not a drag track. |
Turn them both fully off if you want a good launch (hold the TC button for 3-5 seconds).
|
I'd just turn off the traction control & leave it @ that. Turning anything more off won't improve your time.
You don't want something freak to happen, then have the car want to lunge @ the wall. I realize the cars don't make enough power for that really to be a concern, normally--but if there's any unseen fluid on the track & you don't lift in time......... |
Thanks Wparsons and GTB/ZR-1

Went to the Track again last night for street to strip.
Ran a 15.8 Launched at about 4500RPM with 50% dump and trottle modulation. Removed all the shit in the trunk. 1/4 tank 93 with octane booster. tire pressure lowered to 1.6 psi Just happy i broke 15's! |

Anyone done it or gotten close? IMO, given my experience it's going to take more than slicks and 20whp to drop 8/10th's. This is based on 14.7 being listed as the fastest time in this thread and the person I quoted making reference to the 14.7 time. If you want to hit a 13.XX without FI I'd suggest using a setup like the Robispec car - drastic weight reduction, suspension, tires, more power and a driver mod would make the car come close to the 13's.:burnrubber: |

^^ Shave the 60' down to 2.0 and that's a 14.0, better tires should get it in the 1.8 range and into the 13's.

With sticky tires and a good driver it should totally be doable. You can hit a 2.0 on sticky street tires with a FWD car with a good driver.
|
What are Autos seeing in quarter mile times?

This car is pretty easy to launch. I'd have no problem running a 14.7 in it.
|
Once the track opens, I am goin to see what I can get.
With my G-tech I pulled a 5.8 0-60 and a 14.2 qtr mile. I have used the same G-tech at the track already and the time was dead on, just the mph was off? Simmons |
Wow! Dude 14.2 is awesome for the minimal mods you've done. What is your KW or HP output now after the mods?
|

I think with the latest tune I am making a little more. I will probably go back to the dyno after the Borla header is in. Simmons |
Damn! Pull some weight off and you'll hit 13's easily!

Nice :happy0180: keep us updated. My First mod will prob be In dash navi & Some wide tires+mags!:burnrubber: |
Went to the strip today for the first time ever. Ran a 14.979 first run, then tried to launch at higher RPMs and spun my wheels and had two 15.1s.
Mods: FSTi rims with old RE01Rs, Borla UEL header and cat back. Hoping my tires will grip better when it's warmer out and get closer to 14.5. |
First, I love drag racing, and can't wait to get out and see what I can get out of the 86. My goal is to beat my stock 4-door Si time of 14.799.

If you improve the 60' time without increasing power, you will improve the 1/4 et, but reduce the trap speed. If you factor in the expected slight increase in acceleration from the lighter wheels/smaller diameter tires, you might negate the reduction in trap caused by the faster 60' and trap the same 97mph. I think bolt-ons, a tune & a good driver will net low 14's (.1, .2, .3). 13's should definitely be attainable on corn... |
havent taken mine to the track after the tune... I did 188whp and 155ft tq with just Tune, OP and HFC...ive added a Works DIF but add another 1hp lol
Last time I took it I kept running 15.0 consistant, with this new setup Im kicking a new 2013 Si by 3 car lengths and a 2011 Mercedes (??) by 2 cars... so I should be in the mid 14s. |

yea stock tires.

Yes definitely...Fish tails pretty much all first gear off launch, my 2nd gear pulls really hard though
|
What is a safe RPM to launch at, theoretically? I am terribad at launching and afraid to burn up my clutch/break my drivetrain lol. Also, what are the differences between 60', Trap and ET? What tire pressure do you guys run?
