Mods are in my link. I am at 5500ft elevation and the run was done with full interior including fully adjustable electric seats and 17" DR's.
I am going to start toying with a V5 soon as I am having hectic traction issues and resorted to running a low boost map 17.4psi to run the time with a 1.9sec 60ft and wheelspin in second so exit was bad at 118.5mph with a ET of 11.93. I think this is one of the few cars to run a eleven second with a flash tune albiet with bigger turbos. The biggest barrier at the moment is to better the traction capability of the car by lowering the boost at the point the rpms drop after the gear change as this is the peak torque point. The V5 might do the trick if the traction control system is as good as I think it is. Then I can start boosting closer to the top power levels these amazing RB turbos can produce.

Traction control won't help you, a better tire will.

Using MT Streets 275/40 with 3.15 long ass gearing. Any ideas besides putting the car on a diet?

Rob@RBTurbo · 01-29-2011, 01:16 PM

Congrats George! Where were you at before the turbos? Can you post the timeslip?

forza1976 · 01-29-2011, 01:24 PM

sick time George... that quick without taking the seats out like the other jokers here on the forum. And at altitude, now that is a quick car!!!

OpenFlash · 01-29-2011, 01:26 PM

Thanks man. 12.3@116.
We don't get time slips here. The event was a official Motorsport South Africa sanctioned event for the Regional Championships so will have to wait for final number to be posted on their website with the stats.

jpsimon · 01-29-2011, 01:31 PM

that's awesome especially at altitude with full weight! nice job

Rob@RBTurbo · 01-29-2011, 01:33 PM

Nice improvement! Hopefully there's much more room for improvement once you work out your traction issues.

Oops Meth is missing in my sig. Runs on pump and meth 80/20 mix.

Joshboody · 01-29-2011, 02:20 PM
