wukindada Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 You will not be seeing 11's or for that matter low 12's until temps start to fall back down. Last friday our temps were 97* with 89% humidity.....felt like I was driving a N/A:( Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChruiSSer Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 ^ Yea. This past week it's been ugly also. I took her out the other night after doing the STi conversion on a members car and WOW. He lives on a lake and the temps fell dramatically and she felt like a completely different animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 ^ Damn, on stock tires...and your suspension is also still stock, right? That time's looking more and more impressive!

SubLo Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Probably 13.4-13.7. Really depending on the launch, but most likely mid 13's. WHat are your mods Full turbo back exhaust and protune? How is this possible?? MT/R&T editors got a stock Spec.B to do 13.7s! Look. I know those mags are often off but not by much. I imagine a "Stage II" MT can likely hit low 13s normally, and high 12s with a "great driver" in cool weather, no? ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best times have been when it's 52-55 degrees, but I have noticed a DEFINITE performance increase when it gets into the 40s. Apart from the Drag day I set up in October, I'll have to run out there some Saturday when the temps are under 50 (the strip stays open until December 15th).

rporter Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 My question is probably off-topic, and needs it's own thread, but (other than maybe weight reduction), what benefit do headers have on a turbo engine?? Going back in my 35+ years of modding cars, headers are most effective when they are the proper pipe diameter, pipe length, and collector size to work with a particular combination. I have issues seeing how headers can be properly set up with a turbo at the end. Unless, maybe, for a full-out 400+ WHP stage "X" car that needs the extra flow capacity from the engine.

what Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Dyno charts show headers give anywhere from 10-20 more hp and torque across the RPM band.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 As far as I know, not one person yet on the stock turbo, mods, and a tune, running pump gas has gotten into the 12's.. And like yall said, with warm temps and high humidity, I dont think its gonna happen.. This is my goal though, so I am trying as all get out to do it..

Warning! http://www.legacygt.org/forums/images/smilies/hijacked.gif What's the difference between slapping headers on a turbo car or ZZ572 Big-Block? I say little to none in terms of overall effect. Don't flame me 'cause you probably know this but, an engine is essentially a pump. The faster you can get air/fuel in, burned, and exhaust out, the more power you make - simplistically. Most well designed aftermarket headers trounce factory (mostly cast) manifolds in terms of airflow. More airflow > better efficiency > faster spooling > potentially more boost > more power. Same goes for intakes, better burning/flowing heads, pistons and so on. ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
