How fast do you think my car is in the 1/4?

[s13zilvia]

I am boosting at about 10-11 psi, or .7-.8 bar. I am guessing 14's but some say 13's. What do you guys think, my mods are in my sig, peace. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

i say ull be around the mid-high 13s actually.

i thought the SRs do 14s already?

[s13zilvia]

There is supposed to be a new track opening up in january on base, I hope it is true cause I wanna run my car. If the stock sr's run 14's than I should definetly be in the 13's, but If Im lucky I might get in the high 12's. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

It's because of the metric sysem. &nbsp;Do you know what they call a quarter mile in france?

Don't they have 400m tracks in japan? &nbsp;If so that's only 8 ft shy of the 1320.

[s13zilvia]

Yes thats right its not called a 1/4 mile track, but I have asked about drag racing and no one seems to know were a track is. All the racing is drifting over here, its like a huge trend over here. I wentto the track once to watch it and It was cool but I lost interest after the fith or sixth car. I am much more intrested in going fast in a straight line w/ out loosing traction. Oh and I am at yokota air base in fussa, just outside of tokyo.

Have you tried it yet? I can't imagine ever getting bored of watching cars sliding around at the edge of control on a track! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
OTOH, drag does absolutely nothing for me. I have no traction anywhere in 1st gear at WOT on my GTi, but holding traction isn't exactly hard... &nbsp;
I was at the track (real track-- i.e. not a straight line, and not an oval) this weekend, and man, hot lapping is both so much fun and so much harder than trying to go in a straight line and not miss shifts!

In good internet practice though, "to each his own!" I just find it hard to understand what everyone sees in drag racing. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

oh yea..true true

[sykikchimp]

actually sr20 powered 240's in stock form run high 14's-low 15's depending on driver.

I think with the mods you listed you probably have around 200-210whp.. &nbsp;probably gonna run mid-low 14's.

(amazing how threads just wander off topic..lol)

[planb]

daaaaamn no more livin your life a quarter mile at a time. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;just playing... &nbsp; its not all just drift over there, you arent interested in normal circuit racing at all? like time attack etc?

[s13zilvia]

Well I love all forms of motorsports, but my true love is drag racing. I grew up around it, and I am very good at it, so I have more fun doing it. The drifting looks fun, but I just dont enjoy watching it for long periods of time, now If I were to actually do it than I am guessing I wouldnt get bored with it. The problem w/ that is that I am married and my wife will only let me drag race(dont ask why cause I dont know). Im guessing she is just worried about me wrecking the car, which could happen either way. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

are they really that slow?? i run low 15s with maybe 160 hp

[sykikchimp]

well.. &nbsp;195crank hp isn't a lot. &nbsp;that equalls about 160-170whp. &nbsp;An RSX has about 165whp, and they get low 15's all day. &nbsp;15-15.6 depending on driver.. &nbsp;I would expecta turbo motor with more torque, LSD, and RWD, to be able to pull a little better.. &nbsp;so depending on driver, I would guess 14.6-15.2.

when I say stock, I mean s13 180sx/silvia off the showroomfloor stock.

[SR20Fastback]

Weird, I swear I read somewhere on Unstable's site, or maybe HeavyThrottle once that the 180sx/S13 Silvia ran like 14.3 completely stock... It may have been a little bit higher, but It wasnt high 14's and it sure as hell wasnt 15's...

maybe Im drunk on burger king though &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

[s13zilvia]

Well I have had a 15 sec car and a 13 sec car, and the silvia feels faster than my 13 sec car. So I am pretty sure I am not going to be in the 15's.

A 165 hp 240 runs in the high 15's so why wouldn't a 210 hp car run in the mid 14's with ease? &nbsp;It's not like it lacks torque. &nbsp;I've ridden in near stock SR20det's in a 240 that were much faster than my mild modded KA.

[sykikchimp]

I base my numbers off of observations, as well as logic.. &nbsp;I have heard of more than one SR being put in an s13, and them running very low 15's and high 14's. &nbsp;

the thing about a turbo motor like the SR is they respond to bolt-ons VERY WELL. &nbsp;add an exhaust, add 15whp.. &nbsp;maybe more.. &nbsp;add intake, another 10.. &nbsp;your imediatly up to around 185-190whp.. &nbsp;this easily will pull low 14's.. &nbsp;

understand? &nbsp;I'm not saying your car won't run 13's, I'm just saying what it may run with mild bolt-ons.. &nbsp;If you are a badass driver, anything is possible..

but I digress, Go drive your car.. &nbsp;test it, and tell us what you run. &nbsp;then we will know. &nbsp;problem is very few people make it to the track in stock trim, with stock shitty tires, and stock restrictive exhaust, etc...

I was thinking "royale with speed," but I guess that works too.

u can also buy one of the g techs, i think they are somewhat reliable

I agree. Royale with speed is better.

I really dont get what the appeal is with drag racing. &nbsp;Its pretty boring imo. &nbsp;Motorsports like circuit racing and drifting are very interesting though. &nbsp;Rally racing is great too.
