yup this is Lukes thread so lets keep it to his car and driving style.
Luke. Only way you can get better is more practice !
I havent changed anything the 4 WSID events i have run in my life. Exact same engine / chassis / wheels / tyres / height / tyre PSI etc. And all that has happened is that i am pulling more and more consistent numbers and MPH.
I now know where i am lacking in my driving and thats the launch. Not much tho...2.2's on actual street tyres is starting to push it.
But you are doing 2.4's on your crap tyres....as other said change that to something smaller and better then dont change anything. Just practice practice practice and you will get better.

Hey Ben
I forgot to remember what my Coilovers were set on lol
What should I put em back too?
161.4KW ATW Tuned By TODA EG5 JDM B16A SiR-II TURBO
Whoa claymore! i thought you were gonna give me a rebuttle... but hell yeh thanks for the rep!... I guess it was a pretty "retarted" post. Not my fault some people dont know how a turbo works LOL!
Luke best change gears slightly before your rev cut...but also have a look at your dyno sheet and see where exactly your makeing all your max power.
Answer Luke
* What do you mean your car was dieing?
* When you launched did you have to wait for boost... or did you allready seem to be on it ?
* How were your shifts? sluggish or nice and quick? (you can usually tell by the sound of your BOV and how much air is escapeing). When you changed gears did you get any turbo lag right after engageing into your next gear?
(gforces pushing you back in your search when boost kicks in)

I was getting consistent low 2.1's last time on my tyres & no LSD.
I reckon u should be able to push deep into the 2.0's with your setup Ben.
And that will be your 13's.
However Luke remains pretty helpless trying to get boost off the line ,with those tyres,i reckon he'll max out at 2.2-2.3's.
why change b4 peak power not on the peak power or a bit past the peak power? If you change b4 peak power doesn't that mean your are not utilizing all of your 130kw?
Anyway by the sound of your runs, I would suggest you to use part throttle for first or maybe even second gear. It worked on me when I ran my car...
Hmm Anything other then WOT (full throttle) with FI usually means no boost at all. Best bet would be look into a "Anti-Lag" feature. I know some Hondata have this feature, but dont think so with the emanage. I think you can buy separate units that are designed specifially for "Anti-lag" launch.
If funny you trying to act smart with all these posts. Yet all it proves is that how useless the powerband of the d-series turbo is, and by the sounds of things you need to be a professional F1 driver to get some decent times out of one.
Absorb up all the advice guys, you'll be good for 14's all day long just like Lyle.
Haha,luke will be just doing 2 burnouts,one in the pit & one on the start line,with the thing sitting there on a launch controller with full boost dialled up.
I cant even get my underpowered heap off the line with the LC set at 3000rpm.Its all about throttle control on street tyres
Mate i dont ACT smart, i try get my knowledge across to other people as easily and coherently as possible. I wont say something i dont know, agree with or backup... unlike some who chop and change their opinions more often then they change their jocks!
Im looking at it from a wide perspective and considering all options. It doesnt take half a brain to realise that there are a fair few more factors in FI setups then NA. Do you have half a brain duy?
If you actually cared about other people, and not just focused on TRYING to make a fool out of me. You would realise i have draged my car nearly 30 times. I have increased my times by nearly 2 seconds (very worst through to very best). I think this proves i may know atleast something about drag raceing (i still have much to learn too). Even though my car is limited to low 14s (satasfied with my limited setup).. your a fool to think that makes ME look retarted.
My advice can be used for people with 12,13,14,15 sec FI & NA cars. Other people have recognised this but your just to stuborn to go past your ego, and admit it (no surprise there).
Its ok mate.. maybe you should go back to "ALL MOTOR" where you belong, and take out your feelings on your signature in your true traditional style. For a person with such experience in drag raceing you advice to others is rubbish.
