nice, 14.6...i ran a 14.8 last friday with headers, intake and axleback...know i coulda done better, i was looking for somethin like what you ran!!! how did you launch??? brake launch? or just floor it on green?

BigLizard

I'll go to the track when the build is done...nice numbers tho

tommyguy2

brake torque. Is your trans slippin? mine was shifting hard from 2 to 3 before it failed 2 weeks ago. a 14.8 was the best I could manage with the dying trans. This new one is faster. temps also play a big role. what were the temps at the track?

SkillmatiC

i don't know, maybe im just paranoid but i always think somethings wrong with my car...last friday, it was pretty normal outside, somethin like 65-70 degrees...but yea, i was used the brake torque technique also, first run i ran a terrible 15.1, second one i did alittle better and ran the 14.8...im kinda worried that something wrong, but im not 100% sure, like i said, i get paranoid sometimes

gotta get that 60 foot donw to atleast 2.1

ghost_masterCL

aren't you the guy that kept insisting that other guy had hidden nitrous when he ran a 14.2?

tommyguy2

he did it at 80 degrees in the middle of the summer. I'm running at nearly 40 degrees cooler. and yet he still has four tenths of a second on me!

tommyguy2

could you give me a few suggestions on how to lower the 60 foot? I got yokohama avid v4's with a pressure of 37 all around. Best 60 foot on these tires has been 2.26.

tommyguy2

hey typeR, do you think the mugen cooling mods will work on my '03 accord? I wonder if the parts are compatable with the accord. Also, do how do you think the mugen cooling mods will impact engine and tranny reliability?

tommyguy2

yeah, my bad; his runs at 88 degrees(75
5 humidity):

2.2X 60'--> 14.2 @99mph

my runs with more mods, and a brand new tranny @ 50 degrees 40% humidity:

2.30 60'--->14.6 @ 96.8mph

yeah, he's not using nitrous!

40 degrees colder outside, 35% less humid, more modifications+a new tranny, and he blows me away by 4 car lenghts! whatever.

Maybe it's just a factory freak.

also I noticed he has thermoblok spacers, but I don't see those on your list. Those can be VERY beneficial becuase our intake manifold gets REALLY hot (like scald-yourself-if-you-touch-it hot) which increases the air intake temperature considerably. He also iced his intake manifold before the runs, and has his throttle body coolant bypassed which would again drop the air intake temerature.

Those three things together (icing manifold, thermoblok spacers, and coolant bypass) pretty much simulated much lower temperatures for his runs. I suggest you try the same things and see how much your time improves.

If you can ice your intake manifold to the point where it is cold to the touch and you have thermoblok spacers (which will keep it cool through out your run), I'm positive you coudl get similar or better times. With a 75 shot I'd expect to see you or him in 13's.

also, just because it's a brand new tranny doesn't mean it shifts as good as any trans can. I thought they reflashed the PCM or something to make eh shifts less harsh to prolong the the transmissions.

tommyguy2

guy, believe whatever you want. Johntypes, a local guy who I know has done the themobok and coolant by pass, and each yeilded zippo on the dyno! 99mph traps w/ an auto cls in 88 degree weather, without nitrous is rediculous. but hey, you bought it!

mattg

so where's the hidden nitrous? HUH? WHERE IS IT? WHATEVER DUDE, WE KNOW YOU'RE LYING!!1

BigLizard

how come nobody posts up their time slips?

ghost_masterCL

as for timeslips, I just think people are too lazy to scan them, plus it's not like he got in teh 13's or something. which he would have with even a 50 shot of nitrous.
