what the hell was in the left lane, a Yugo?

[Ramius83]

Left lane, LOLOLOLOLOLOL.....

It was an early 90s Ford Explorer. He was there to get the best Reaction Time, which I think he did get.....

[TheOne]

so wait this was stock every thing on the rb26? cept for the nismo lsd and the drag slicks?(what boost is the rb26 stock?)

yeah he did own you at the tree. You had a nice RT too though, better than average. That other dude goes by rythum like me, doesn't even wait for the green.

Yes stock everything except for those two things. Stock boost is 10 pounds.

Why did you launch at 4500? I launched at 5500 on my drag radials with too much air in the tires :P still hooked pretty good tho. Those slicks you have should get you into the 1.7 60' easy. Good run tho mad RB26 powa.

It was my first time going with it. Didn't want to kill the clutch too fast lol. Anyways, when I go back now, I know to rev it up a little more. I do think though that I do have a speed limiter. I would just get to 110 and I could feel it almost bog down. With those slicks on, 110 I think is max at the 120mph speed cut.....Don't know though, I will test it on a highway run lol....

[Nameless EJ6]

Most japanese computers cut out around 115 mph.

10psi? I was under the impression the RB26 boosted stock @ 7 or 9 psi..

Nice time though. congrats.

[themadscientist]

.7 bar, not the same as psi

the explorer got OWNED I would have liked to see the look on his face

[themadscientist]

judging by the stats you would have had to look in the rear view mirror to see it

[swwifty]

nice time there, i bet you could easily hit a low 12 at another track, and when it gets cooler again here in Atlanta.

[Nameless EJ6]

I've read 7 psi before, as well as 9 psi. Not .7 bar. My reading comprehension isn't that bad... :p

[themadscientist]

http://www.chromatography.co.u...e.htm.7 bar =10 psi.

[240sxed]

very ****ing nice! i bet you could slim down your time if you have better suspension setup.

[klh6686]

that's nice as hell, what did you weigh in at?

[Nameless EJ6]

http://www.chromatography.co.u...e.htm.7 bar =10 psi.

I'm confused at what you were getting at. I know what .7 bar is, but no one was speaking in terms of bar.

I've simply read different things on different forums. =/

[Ramius83]

As far as I have researched, 10 pounds is stock boost for my R32 motor.

R33's have about 11-12 pounds stock, and R34's have about 14-15 pounds stock.

Yes, suspension is definitely in the near future. The car is simply bobbling the whole way down. Shooting up and shooting down on every shift, and the car fishtails as well on every shift. I am also gonna get this stupid speed limiter off as well. I may wait till I get a PowerFC, but you can simply "interrupt" the speed sensor wire with a switch so the ECU cannot monitor speed, hence no speed cut. But I do know that after about 15 minutes of this, it will throw come CEL codes. But this is of no concern to me, I'll just clear them out.

I do not know my weigh in. They don't have a scale there, or one we all can use. I am probably gonna find a truck weigh station one of these days and pull in to talk with one of the GSP workers there.

Anyways, I am VERY happy with my times. I ran about .2-.4 seconds better than I thought I would. Hell, for ****s and giggles, I may pull the stock boost restrictor on one run next time. This will allow me to hit about 15-15.5 pounds of boost. But I can only do it once or twice because I don't want to blow the ceramic turbos up lol.....Also, I am definitely holding back on this as well because the car is totally untuned. I do not have any AFR readings or anything. My PLX Devices M-300 is on its way here now, so now I can atleast monitor AFR readings on the fly.....

[TheOne]

those are some really nice numbers for stock rb26, i though they'd be somewhere in the 13's but 12's, man i should get 1 of those.

[OlyDriftSquad]

NICE!!!! going to take our 2 shop cars to battle of the imports in seatlle " Custom Imports, My co owner is running a 26, stock, front mount exhaust , i am running the r33 26, Garrett BB turbo`s, FPR mines ecu and boost controller,. Hoping for some good times. !!

[Wedge]

you forgot about your "alternator unplugged" mod.. haha.. j/k

awesome times, and an awesome car..

[Ramius83]

YEAH LOL, thanks Wedge.

During that 12.5 run and afterwards, I had a battery light come on, and the tach quit working. Come to find out that the battery kill switch that I HAD to install is faulty. NHRA rules at that track says if your battery is relocated to the trunk, you need a kill switch on the rear end of the car. Well, I installed one behind the license plate. Upon installing it, one of the small battery posts on the kill switch, specifically the alternator post, broke. So I soldered the alternator wire to the post. Well, it came off, unknowingly.

So, to get the car home, I stripped a portion of the battery cable by the switch. I then cut the alternator wire, stipped the end of it, and wrapped it around the battery cable. It worked lol. I would be out there working on it now, but it is monsooning out there right now because of Dennis......

[Wedge]

i had to drive home in this crappy weather last night.. scares me because the air filter was soaked when i got home.. anyways..

yeah... i wasn't allowed to run because mine doesn't cut off the battery.. but upon working on my car this weekend, i found that if i unplug a simple 2prong plug in the side of my alternator, i am guessing it tells it not to charge.. thus the kill switch kills the car.. so before tech we unplug it, and after tech we plug it back in.. easy as that.. now all i got to do is put my battery cut off where yours is..

[Imissmyturbo]

Good to finnally see some times/whp for RB26 swaps.

[themadscientist]

I've read 7 psi before, as well as 9 psi. Not .7 bar. My reading comprehension isn't that bad... :p

what I am suggesting is that the .7 bar boost has been misquoted in many places as 7psi.
