Went to the track this weekend

[TopStreet240]

So this was my first time at the track EVER and the first time that the turbo ka24et ever got put to the test. On 8psi, 205 bald tires she put down a 13.8 @ 102.5. I was happy as can be! Now its time to turn the boost up to 14 and get some new tires.

Drag radials and boost....you'll be doing way better. High 13's aint so bad. You'll only get better with practice...

not bad at all, should one expect better numbers from de? This time on 5spd or auto? What kind turbo you got?

[Checkered-Member]

[Redline240]

Oh sure, everybody gives me s*** when I say "track" instead of "strip" but no-one says anything about this one!

Pretty decent times tho. I hope mine will do at least that good with fresh rings and a good clutch. I can't wait to put my motor back in and get it back to the track, I mean strip.

well this is stock motor, 5 speed, 8 psi, ka24e, and bad tires... i had a 2.0 60' was the best for the day. Im running a SC54 turbo (60 trim) once i add boost i should be good to roll. I dont know about hp and tq numbers, once our shop gets some dyno numbers i will let you guys know. I was hoping for a little more mph but i think that such low boost is keeping the turbo way out of the happy zone... 6 more psi should help that!

2.0!!!!!!! thats awsome. best 60' i could get 2 weeks ago was a 2.341 on 255's. im going back tomorrow to hopefully break into the 13's finally on 8psi

[TopStreet240]

That was on 205's... I was thinking of running some Azena (SP?) Sport 225's, has anyone run these tires and how do they do. Structure240sx good luck at the track, hope you break into the 13's... what are you running now?

Azena (SP?)

Azenzis

[:: orion ::]

If you're looking for a good street tire with great track hook-up characteristics...check out the Kumho MX.

Better than the Azenis IMO, due to similar sticky-ness, but a softer sidewall.

thanks man, i will check into that... I dont know when im getting new tires now, i just picked up a set of 17 inch ADR rims for 300 bucks and they have tires so I think im just going to burn those down first!

[Structure240sx]

i didnt make it to the track tonight since it took me 4 hours longer thani thought it would to replace my throwout bearing, i dont even think that was my problem. best run so far is 14.300 at 8psi

i ran that with kumho mx's. i just keep bogging

Went back to the track on friday, I didnt get the new tires on but I ran a 13.66 @ 106.44 still on 8psi. But this time I was pulling 2.2 60 foots (Looks like the tires are on the way out!)
