[X8TEENX]

so u wan to goes below 13?wow

[IEVAQ8]

i hope to be back out in about 2 weeks, trying to get that 14.0 and even 13.9

the car went 14.2 at 155.41 kph

once i see 13's turbo here she comes

[xtercii]

155.41km/h a bit low for 135wkw??? Or am I off the mark?

[fatboyz39]

Damn with 135kw atw you shouldn't have a problem hitting 13's. We done 13.6 on our Stock ITR motor with 122kw atw.

[fatboyz39]

155.41km/h a bit low for 135wkw??? Or am I off the mark?

pretty low. Should be looking around 100-102MPH

[grumpy rooster]

Either the car is very heavy or the power figure is wrong. ET and speed are way down. Luke's EG ran 14.4 with a dead standard H22A that made 106kw at the wheels.

[Newcivic]

135 kw is on a hub dyno.. so on a normal dyno it'll be about 110-115kw atw

[IEVAQ8]

hey guys
on the nite i was playin around wit different suspension setups(coil-over dampening).
well wat u guys running for suspension and tyres. maybe use can gimme some heads up for some faster time, seing that use are all so fast.

[grumpy rooster]

- With the suspension make it as hard as you can on the back, and about half to 2/3 that on the front.
- strip it out. Weight = slow
- lower your front tyre pressures to around 18-20psi. Run the rears to 40psi.
- make your engine mounts as solid as you can.

That should help you a bit.

[IEVAQ8]

thanks,
on the night, i ran bst times with rear suspension set to stiffest, and the front on 6 clicks from hard (tein s/s) i also have engine damper and semi slicks but i think pressures were close to 30psi......
thans for your help and input.
i hope to be bac out next week friday to improve and get the suspension set u right.
do you recommend any engine mounts??????

[grumpy rooster]

On our car we run solid engine mounts. There are no bushings whatsoever. Its impossible to do this on a road car (and illegal) so go for whatever you can that will firm it up as much as possible but still keep the car liveable day to day.
