Drag Racing Season Opener 2/3rd April 2016

Post 796293 by MoleT-5R on 2016-02-09 10:07:39

Time has come folks for the Annual build up to Shakey's Opening RWYB Race weekend which as above is the weekend of 2-3rd of April, so who's up for this one. I would imagine most folks would just be doing the Sunday, as despite the warmer winter, I'm not sure the being of April will be warm enough to make a weekend of it camping overnight, but you never know it could happen. Right let's see some names and get the banter flowing on who's going to run what etc. 1. Mole T-5r

Second thoughts, if Martin's going I might run down in the TDi so he can time it up for me. He's a good bloke, that one :) Then I might just run it up the strip to see what a standard 304,000 mile TDi can do :lol: Expect a time measured in days.

So that would be a 163, right? I'd be slower than that, a standard 850TDi is only 140bhp, less torque too. :( Still, Martin's got some go faster goodies for me. Have to sort something out at some point. Tricky though, as the TDi is my workhorse so permanently needed running.

I'm guessing we move the decimal point one place and go for 17.4bhp. No doubt there will be someone to take to court over this.

Post 796427 by martin_r_smith on 2016-02-11 20:37:16

I don't think mine would be much better than a 16. The derv just isn't geared for 1/4 mile sprints, a roll start from 40 however, then we're talking.

[QUOTE=Doingitsideways;796438]Excuses in early. Like it.[/QUOTE] It's a true story lol. Put it on the dyno on Tuesday just testing a few new tricks and tried it with all filter box attached, then just the empty box followed by nothing at all. The empty box and the box with a filter were both the same but no box got me 8 ponies, I thought the box would be ok as people often mention on here it's good for 300bhp on the petrol but evidently 220-230 has it maxed on the derv.

Just because you can get 300bhp through it, doesn't mean your not losing more than you would with a different set-up

Post 796443 by martin_r_smith on 2016-02-11 21:43:34

Oh I understand that, but didn't expect it to be a restriction so soon. I might try a cone out see how it does.

Post 796444 by stribo on 2016-02-11 21:51:09

Just buy a petrol car, whack a big turbo on it, and whack the boost right up, what could possibly go wrong? Frankie might be able to answer that for you. ;)

The S60 is having a new clutch at the end of the month, then I'll fit the new intercooler, and get a stage 2 map, so hopefully get some good times from that. The C70s making reliable boost, from the 18t now the actuator's been changed, and hopefully be getting BC coilovers for it finally, so I'm hoping for low 14s, high 13s from that. :D

Post 797185 by LiamT4 on 2016-02-24 20:15:59

Regarding the mirrors question, i think they produce more drag when they are folded in, on the s60/v70s anyway. I've driven along the motorway and folded the mirrors in and it definitely makes more noise. Noise=turbulence=drag. (whether it would have much of an effect on cars with a terminal speed of around 100mph is another matter)

Many apologies lads, especially to Martin who's probably all geared up to time my TDi, but I'm not going to be able to make it. I picked up the old man's new motor from Ross on Wye yesterday and the most horrific toothache started on the way back, so bad I nearly stuffed the new motor at one point. Been up with it all night and I'd rather not risk it. Had a couple of fillings early last week, guessing something's gone very wrong somewhere :( Anyway, sorry to mess anyone about. Catch up soon.

Home now, and I'm pleased to say, my 14.7 is still safe, best I managed today was a 14.9 :(, I think I'm going to give up on quarter mile.

What I have realized is that my best time was my first run, which I changed gear at the red line, all other runs I changed earlier at around 5000rpm which seemed to give me a higher terminal speed but slower time.

Gutted we couldn't make it. hopefully both cars will be fighting fit for the next one.

At present I'm hoping to try a time or 2 mid may and then can compare with york 2 weeks later.

Seems to pull well enough, could the slightly slower times be due to the track being green from winter..??
