Yeah I hope you'll be the first one who manages this in the UK mate !
Thats immense
What turbo is the 5E feeding on?
The turbo is a garret GT2540 still on 16psi.
Its not a dedicated drag car either. Its still a street car and im looking to get into some circuit work soon. The suspension is only kyb shocks and king springs so I might need to put in some more work.
Id also like to setup launch control in the autronic soon too. Havnt got a chance to try it out yet.
Cheers

that's mad, and that turbo starts to spool at 3k and hits full boost by 5k on 5e, was any of them runs with nos?, who made inlet and exhaust mani?
Yeh with 20hp shot of gas. We used it for the turbo. Now gets full boost at about 3500rpm. We're reving the 5e to 7800rpm but with cams we should be going higher.
Exhaust manifold was 101 motorcafe, its all tuned length. The inlet was a guy in new zealand. The runners are very skinny but I got it for AU$300 so it was cheap.

good time Harry you must be very happy!
like goldenvtr said we used toyo r888's didnt find them much better for drag than normal road tyres (wanted keep it street legal) but we couldnt warm up properly, everytime did so the clutch played up down the strip but you prob wont have this problem plus you got much warmer track and more dry days over there (im very jealous) lol

Its very important to do quite a large burnout. If the clutch is slipping than thats usually a sign that the tires are hooking up well. You need to drop the pressure down to around 10psi and slide the clutch a lot. You probably need a better clutch though.
we do have much warmer tracks but thats not always a good thing. The 11.7 was run with 48deg C track temp. The track gets slimey and slippery around that temp.
The swift I was racing against uses them and pulls consistant 1.8 60 fts. Pulled a few 1.7's but snaps the driveshafts so he's taking it easy.
The street tire fwd record here is held by another swift at 11.2 using these tires so they do work very well, even though they are a cicuit tire.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I found a crappy video on my girlfriends camera. I dialled in an 11.9 and took it easy but still ran an 11.8. The swift is zuboo who won the event. The wift dialled in a 12.5 so got a 0.7 sec head start.

done anymore runs?, where that other vid you had?
Nah, mate no more runs yet. I put the cams in now so im keen to run it again after x-mas.
Heres the other vid of the 12.2 with no gas.

Just for you gaz, Heres that swift I was talking about. Has 240hp at the front wheels then he puts the pin back in so I say he'd have under 200hp at all fours. He just did a 12.2 now as well. That wrx owner was cut. Its got a 2.5L fully built motor

1.72. On the 11.8 in the other vid there I think it was a 1.88. My old slicks were great but they didnt have enough height to get me past 119mph in 4th. I need some wider rims now to spread the 8" slicks out a bit more.
\\
Thanks mate. Im pretty happy with the time. I just cant wait to get out there again.
Theres not much grip with my new slicks. The swift beside be is on toyo R888 semi slicks and actually did a better 60ft than me. But he has many years experience now and im just starting out.
