Hope so, but the times for baby XE's I've seen, seem pretty slow...

[david dixon]

are you running the standard exhaust manifold? it should only take a genuine 115-120bhp to pull a low 15

David.

[milko96]

are you running the standard exhaust manifold? it should only take a genuine 115-120bhp to pull a low 15

Yeah standard X16 manifold, 2" straight through exhaust and cone filter, not going mad on this motor as I intend to turbo the spare X16 I have using Corsa VXR internals and turbo setup.

that is a quick TD!

[burgo]

surely not being as its putting out the same horsepower but more torque than milko's

[david dixon]

but they dont have the willingness to rev like a petrol, td's never do a 1/4 near a petrol with the same power.

David.

[scott.parker]

TBH it's the same as you would see form full interior'd STANDARD GTE/GSi

[david dixon]

I would never expect a gsi to only do mid 16's! a true running gte/gsi should see high 15's

David.

Ive never seen a gte/gsi run a 15

my gsi did a 15.3 and my mates did a 15.5

I couldnt get my 1600 16v into the 15s when it was a standard engine.

no chance on a standard engine with interior

[phazer]

Indeed, the GTEs and GSis I've run up against did 16s all day. Even a T40'd GTE did 15.5.

its not hard at all on 888's! alot of people think good times are hard to come by for some reason.

Hi,

I took my Nova to Shakespeare County Raceway yesterday for a few runs (managed 8 runs)

Bit disappointed with my time and even more so my trap speed, but could have been worse I suppose! Not been drag racing for over a year so was a little rusty.

60ft = 2.220
330 = 5.913
660= 8.85590
mph1 = 83.66
990 = 11.287
1/4 mile = 13.45073

MPH2 / Trap speed = 107.33MPH

The rest of the time I was getting 104/ 105 and 106 mph.

NEED MORE POWER! :)

PS: kept getting whooped by big power scoobies and skylines / supras... :(

[milko96]

it's not like it's impossible.. it's just a good run.

I didnt say it was, but trapping at 95mph with a 13.8 means the 60ft was very good... I never hit 2.0 on 888's, tbh I hated them, they were worse than normal road tyres for me...

Milko, speak to my mate (gareth c) he ran a 13.8 @ 100mph on a near standard xe nova on 888's

I can't knock them tyres tbh, i have tried all sorts over the years and nothing comes close if they are warmed up enough. :thumb:

BFG's ;)

I may use mine at nxt meet, but dont think I'm making enough power yet, to get best from em really, we'll see.

[david dixon]

BFG's aren't bad tyres either to be fair!

David.

[kiwinova]

here is the slip for my time, I have always used 888's nothing else so wouldn't know if anything is better

http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv5/kiwilad99/IMG_0148.jpg

[bodleytunes]

Xe on tb's or let?

David.

It's a LET (Rickardo's old car / chequered flag on the roof and bonnet) - Frontera intercooler, boost is at about 0.8 ish bar in 5th gear from what I can make out

It's upposed to be running 247bhp but not sure if it was making quite that on the day - maybe more like 220 / 230.

Was a very warm day to start with and I was only trapping 104 and 105mph

Then as the day went on, I seemed to get quicker trapping 106 and 107+ , it seemed a bit peppier. Maybe it was the cooler air?

Running normal tyres, normal pressures etc.

I think with a perfect launch on the day (2 seconds? could have scraped a 13.2) as it was my best was 2.2 which is not great but a lot better than my first go ... 2.7!!!!! :O

All the scoobies and skylines were getting 1.7 and 1.8 off the line so I didnt have a chance. Nearly caught a poxy Scooby RB5, wish it was a half mile for that one would have got him!!!! He got 12.8 @ 105.6 or something.

I recorded the runs with my camera, but unfortunately only got my first two **** runs before ran out of storage on the ****ty camera. I'd like to smash it for missing my better runs!!!

Get some 888's on there and let them down to about 8-10psi, warm them right up before a run and you'll knock that time right down imo
you want to be aiming for aty least 2.0 60foot with 888's, do you have a diff?

David.

Shame if i had of none i would of come down to watch,Good times/speed though..
My XE on TB's has done 13.5's @ 105mph there, IMO it's a better strip then at the POD, but then it's on my door step. :thumb:

Yeah will try those tyres, got them on my Astra Turbo, very good. Just standard diff AFAIK I assume that would be an open diff ?

Here is my video - sadly only caught the first two runs, which were ****e, my worst ones.

first one cant get it into 3rd, then on the 2nd run do a pansy arsed start.

The two on this vid were 14.6 and 14.2 trappin 104/105

[david dixon]

if you decide to buy a diff i would recommend a plated diff if you mainly do drag racing! if you like the road and track days you best off with a quaife.

David.

[bodleytunes]

Not into locked diffs if thats what you meant.

My old skyline with 360bhp had a drifting welded diff, and I got 14.4 @ 109.7mph !!!! Awful launches every time and it clunked round corners and skipped.

Cheers!

Jon.

David.

[david dixon]

no no not fully locked, you can have what spec you want from plated.....just about anyway and they work much better from what i have seen and felt.
that said i am using a 90% locked diff this time around lol

David.

[milko96]

I agree dave, my plate diff on my old G40 was awesome for dragging...

ATB are deffo a track diff, not great for the strip, in FWD anyway..

[Dan]

diffs are always a good thing :thumb: but i will disagree with one point, the plated format is by far the best for a track orientated car. Quaife in my eyes is more of a road/occasional track/occasional qtr type diff. But for anything more permanent its got to be plate all of the way.

Anyone who claims the atb is defo a track diff should really drive with both and in varying conditions for the ultimate test, then make an assumption :thumb: (if you havent lol) .

when i ran the quarter in my old baby 8v the diff was no real gain at all imo, but then running low 14's is nothing compared to some of you guys so it's probably all relative to the cirmustances :) .

I have run both on various cars, although not in a Nova...

Plate gave me nearly 0.4 on the strip, most an ATB ever gave me was 0.2, but granted that was on diff cars...

[david dixon]

A ATB didn't really do me any joy with a LET on the strip, wheel spin through 1, 2 and a bit jumpy in 3rd! but its horses for course

interested in your experiance

ive been told that a plate diff can be terrible for a fwd car on track, and the reasons make sense to me

for a vehical to turn both wheels need to be travling at diffferent speeds, a plate diff stops this and will make both want to turn at the same speed this was my understanding why it can make fwd cars just want to understeer.

[david dixon]

i can imagine it will all depend on the ramp angles of the plated diffs

interested in your experiance

ive been told that a plate diff can be terrible for a fwd car on track, and the reasons make sense to me

for a vehical to turn both wheels need to be travling at diffferent speeds, a plate diff stops this and will make both want to turn at the same speed this was my understanding why it can make fwd cars just want to understeer.

I cant be arsed to play the 'ive been told' game lol we both know you know your stuff in general. Having run the plate variety over the last 5/6 years i base my views on my experience, i'm no tech head as such, but i know what works. My last 2 builds have told the whole story through pictures/movies and obviously at club events for all to see and even have a go of as my previous build had more pilots than a 747 lol lol

Your more than welcome to research my build threads and see for yourself, be it this one or the last as its all there to see minus any, what did you call it, understeer?? lol lol lol :thumb: :thumb:

yeah it was well crap driving the 8v with a plate diff.....lol

In the Nova, I was letting off half way down due to a miss.

I finally found the problem after three times of trying but the queue was too long so I came home.

I used to have a rev 2 mr2 turbo, it was pretty much standard, nice cars, very good for launching, shed loads of grip.

I think I got 14.3 @ 95 ish in mine back in 2004 ... did boost it up before I sold it but never raced it in the end.

Wouldn't mind another one tbh, rev 3 with a big turbo can be found cheap (450ps +)

[bodleytunes]

I remember killing cossies off the line, but then they caught me up! But yeah, aweseome at drag racing, can compete with the scoobies etc, I always thought they lacked a bit of top-end grunt tho with standard turbo, not very revvy, but the rev3 was the more revvy one

They are lacking a bit top end, only managed two terminals over 100mph whereas most of the other cars I were up against were managing more. Going to fit a metal headgasket over winter and go for more boost I think.

BUT.... I know there is a monster N/A K24 engined Civic here now, engine has run 10.1 in the states on slicks! Engine has been shipped over and put in a RHD EG Civic... may take some beating!

TBH mate it may be the case but he is probs the fastest 2000cc N/a in the country and if the civic runs slicks it doesnt count lol Dot marked tyres FTW

May be without funny gas i dunno just assume that there would be a quicker one some where as im not running massive power its only 204 at the wheels and USC aint exactly the best competition out there haha

[milko96]

Fastest FWD N/A UK honda at the mo is 12.7 on road tyres and 12.2 on slicks, thats 270 @ the fly.

The old VW scirocco that races (was grey, now yellow) has gone quicker but it uses gas now I believe.

There record will go this yr tho I'm sure, as there is a N/A Honda series running at Shakry, some proper cars being built for that...

Yep for def.... :thumb:

I held record breifly in 05/06 with 12.9, altho there was a Mk2 golf with an R32 lump and DSG box that ran 12.8 at same time, but again he had gas on it, but said he didnt use it on the 12.8 run....

Anymore you can do, to get your times lower, or are you not that bothered with 1/4 mile?

[Mincyballs]

There's always more!! its how much im willing to spend, i do wanna make it quicker but also want to make it more pleasing to the eye. I reckon there is more power to come but its trial and error its just off putting thinking of reshimming if i change cams

[bodleytunes]

Just bog standard mods really, boosting under one bar, filter, exhaust, frontera FMIC, some 3 stage selectable map chip, which doesnt seem to do anything when you turn the switch - I leave it on stage Zero!???

No fuelling mods, it's supposed to be running 240bhp, but I'm only trapping 108.9mph absolute tops, mostly in the 107's so I think it may be running a tidgy bit less? guessing 230ish.

I should be well over 113 mph if I get true stage 2 power 270/280bhp?

I thought you was running an XE but still good times man

[bodleyhenley]

Massive nitrous needed for an XE to trap 108 I would have thought!! :)

[scott.parker]

No not relay mine did 105 at SCRW last year, tough you have some good 60ft times that suggest with you terminals your times should be more like 12's

[Nobby]

my v6 ran 102mph in my 1st ever run lol

[bodleyhenley]

Aint no way my car getting in the 12's without an uber launch, drag radials, sub 2 second launch?

Thats the domain of rwd and 4x4 mostly without serious skill/fettling! :).

I'm only running about 230bhp I reckon, so with a bit more uumph and proper stage 2, I think I should scrape the 12's pretty easy so long as I get the magic 2.1 launch again.

[bodleyhenley]

I trap 113 and no n2o just 204 at the wheels

[bodleytunes]

Assume XE Nova's are a bit lighter? Is yours stripped out?

Maybe mine's only making 204bhp / standard power then, maximum I ever trapped was 108.92mph...

Hmmmm :(

[scott.parker]

What time did you get with that 105mph terminal?

13.5

[Mincyballs]

Mine is a wheel figure so flywheel is 240.2 according to the rollers but thats a calculated figure and both figures will vary between rollers! I have seen mine at 280 before but its not believable!!

[Lee H]

My mk1 MR2 turbo ran 13.4 @ 100 mph with 280bhp so no idea how some of these times make sense but they are obviously right. That was a 2.0 60ft time!

Obviously weight comes into it somewhere but a really rusty mk1 MR2 isn't that heavy!

[scott.parker]

Lee tbh i think luck and maybe a tail wind was on my side that day as all other runs were 13.7 13.8s around 101-103mph

And as i posted on my wip i whent last weekend an there was 12-15mph head winds, so my bests were 14.0 @ 99.9mph

But least they were cositant an all other guys run times were down by around or more the hath a second too, so not just me.

[bodleytunes]

I raced an Mr2 turbo rev3 at york, it was very nice and had a big front mount intercooler.

He did a best of 13.0 @ 107. something .... I asked him about the power and he said about 280ish, I think he was running more like 320bhp I don't think he had a clue as he had just bought it! I was only just reeling him in when I got grip.

My old mr2 turbo rev2 with about 225 (standard ish) did 14.3 @ 95mph


My mk1 MR2 turbo ran 13.4 @ 100 mph with 280bhp so no idea how some of these times make sense but they are obviously right. That was a 2.0 60ft time!

[bodleytunes]

RE: headwinds, interesting point... There was a pretty strong headwind blowing about 15/20 degrees off the runway centreline (20mph I woud say as it was freezing!). Possibly makes a difference with a brick shaped nova. ?

I know I got 104.5mph at the beginning of the day, and I think the wind was stronger then. Towards the end of the day the wind dies down... then I was trapping 107/108.

[davidfox280585]

i managed a 14.92 on a c20xe nova standard tyre pressure on budgets full trim at york at 90.8 mph, not the most impressive time but it held its own against other cars in its class

[david dixon]

yeah i noticed the 15/20 mph head wind at york too, it slowed our N/A time down by .2 but we still managed to run a 12.4 with only a 50 shot of gas so i'm guessing that would work out at 12.2 if the head wind wasn't there.

This car should be in the 12s, i ran it at the pod only running 7psi of boost (had an extra blue rag stuck in the new pro alloy intercooler that was just fitted restricting flow and boost) and i ran around that time, with new tyres yoko a539 if i remember.

[Paul]

Yeh, 108mph terminal is 12s if you can hook up well. I ran a 12.8@109 a few years back. And im useless at launching lol

Yeah i reckon it will no problems, ive not had her out much so still getting used to it, the tires where fairly worn and only road going tires. Im going to stick some R888's on her just trying to find some wheels that will fit over the calipers! as the 16's catch ever so slightly so can only imagine it being worse with the chunky tires.

[c20tbo]

It never once scraped when i had it with the yokos, i do remember Darren put those tyres on then it started to catch front wings, i personally would have changed those tyres and put on a more suitable tyre, failing that raised the front slightly. i also used to run Uniballs intead of ball joints, dont no what happened to those, also a sytec cleanable fuel lilter?

Might see you at the pod next year be nice to see it going up the strip again, but hopefully i will be in a car capable of 9.5s.

Oh will get those gears sent when i get a min.

[womble sri]

It actually scrapes on the rear under hard cornering i think i may have a play with the suspension and stiffen the rear up a bit, they may have softned and could possibly need a refurb as i suppose they have been on the car a while.

Stu i keep meaning to come and see you, i havent fitted the wideband yet, need to weld a boss a bit further down the pipe for the lamda and then ill pop over. I am thinking about taking it to track and road but not sure if there will be any point without mappable management?

[womble sri]

and yes its on ball joints now dont know why anyone would of changed those? the fuel filter was relocated when Darren fitted a new fuel pump I belive (see pic)

[c20tbo]

Same place fella :thumb: Bullet filter still there aswell, it can be dismantled and cleaned, in the box of reciepts there should be 2 dowels that slide in the fiter holes on the opening end, a screwdriver or equivalent can be used to screw open using the dowels, propably never been done in around 5 yrs:confused:

Get it on a weight bridge Hobbit, interesting see what it actually weighs. Be amazed if it was near 800kg tbh.
Good 1/4 times though! Especially with a dodgy clutch.

[burgo]

the dyno guys had the vehicle weights there as well today

[Hobbit]

Clutch has fixed itself, guess it just needed some abuse to bed it in... (yes I know that makes no sense lol)

[mowgli]

it needs weighing with the hobbit in place to get the correct running weight

[david dixon]

Well done hobbit, nice to see that engine getting used in anger!

we ran 12.1's again today, just need to get the bottle heater working again and sort the fueling issue and i'm hoping it'll see a 11.

[mowgli]

Clutch has fixed itself, guess it just needed some abuse to bed it in... (yes I know that makes no sense lol) it makes perfect sense hobbit, you deglazed it, and wore it into the flywheel properly.

[nova_t]

yh i seen it was you running in totb

[david dixon]

yeah thats the one mate

[Hobbit]

Cheers for the tips Mr Dixon, running 10 psi and doing 2nd gear burn outs saw me launching like a ****ing demon :)

TOTB next year me thinks.

[turbojolt]

10 psi suprised the tyre never come of the rim lol

[david dixon]

get some nitrous on it mate, it'll love it ;)
your welcome mate.

[nova_t]

my brother was entered into totb for his first time using his corsa but we got about 5 mile away from pod and from what we can work out its dropped a valve so it was parked up by the toilets all day not good times

[david dixon]

Thats bad news mate, seems a few people had issues this weekend!

[nova_t]

yh man heads off now and being stripped find out the damage and start the re build lol

[scott.parker]

10 psi suprised the tyre never come of the rim lol

We were running 12-10 psi in my old R888's when i used my mk4 Astra an Nobby borrowed my wheels at Shakey! lol i know of one lad who goes as low as 8-6 psi on MT's.

[Spudly]

Cheers for the tips Mr Dixon, running 10 psi and doing 2nd gear burn outs saw me launching like a ****ing demon :)

I will definately be going to see that then as its only a few miles from me :eek:

i saw a few of your runs on the sunday and you were getting great starts.

if you havnt mentioned already, what spec is your engine?

Consistant 1.9's ;)

There's some 12's in that mate.

Working on a spread sheet so all this info is more usable...

only got to page 15 so far but getting there :)

[womble sri]

Consistant 1.9's ;)



That's impressive, my 13.21 had a shocking 2.37 60ft time I reckon with some slicks and practise I should be able to break into 12's

[Hobbit]

easily :) I'm only 1 tenth off a 1.8, guessing that tenth will be hard to get though.

[Adam]

Sub 2.0sec 60ft, nice!

[david dixon]

easily :) I'm only 1 tenth off a 1.8, guessing that tenth will be hard to get though.


It is hard mate, we've been after one for a while, we keep getting 1.900's though! just keep at it and you'll get there in the end.

[Hobbit]

My best was a 1.9135, I didn't realise that was good until Nobby pointed it out over Facebook. lol

[david dixon]

Its where it needs to be if you aiming for a 12.9 or better, just keep on with it, more runs the better!
