On slicks I ran a 11.4 at over 120mph. The car was having some problems though, probably would have went 11.1 or maybe a 10.99. The ecu was kicking the rev limiter back to 6.5k rpm when it's normally 8.1k rpm. Killed the powerband bad. Shooting for mid to low 10's the beginning to mid season and 9's by the end. This is a street legal car that is driven everday, no trailor queen here. 00 honda civic coupe w/b18c1 turbo, full interior and a cage.

Brett does have a Blue SI, but that's not who you met. I think you met another guy I know, his name is Willy. He has a pretty quick SI too, but not like Brett's. I don't really know him all that well, only met him once or twice. Don't know what he run's. I don't know the guy with the T/A by the way. I used to go to Manassas occasionally(during summer, I'm at school otherwise). Would you happen to know Scott(green EX, stock looking), Sarah(dark green Accord, really clean looking), Lei(silver Prelude), Suwan(baby blue prelude with white rims and graphics, plates say lilude3 or somethin like that)...Any of those sounding familar? I know they went to Manassas a bunch, like every other weekend.

My quickest quarter mile time was 11.91 seconds @ just under 114 mph at Edmonton (2300 foot elevation) in 1995. On average the car ran in the 12-teen range (back then it was still considered fast, to have a 12 second street car). The car was a 1982 Mecury Capri (fox body) with a .030 over 302 Winsor, DART heads and a .224, .234 @ .050" lift camshaft, Performer RPM intake, a decent set of headers, and some pop-up pistons. Basically nothing too special. it was a 10.4:1 compression engine, so it ran on premium gas without problems. It weight 2850 lbs empty. I put an average of 20000 kilometers on it per year, and even drove it at -19 degrees Celcius once.

According to the Quarter Jr. programme, it had 330HP at the rear wheels. I thought it was ok for a reliable, fairly tame engine. Oh, and at 100km/h it got a mileage of 12L/100km (about 24mpg). Don't have any pictures here though. Left everything back home.:frown:

No I'm running a full 150 shot. Not without extensive precautions. I've seen it higher than mine too. It's all about tuning, plenty of fuel, plenty of spark, correct timing, enough octaine, and even cam specs. My block is o-ringed also to help keep the fire in the right spot. I use a rich/lean guage to keep tabs on my air/fuel ratio as well. No problems so far.

I regret to inform you that a changr of 4-6 psi will not net 84 hp and 100 lb/ft.
also, no 300hp 3700lb car can do a 12.2
take parish's mustang for example, it weighs about 3300lb, has 500hp and got 1 sec faster.
and why the hell would you reach peak HP at 3600rpm??
according to your dyno.

according to your dyno.QUOTE]

My 3000 pound (with driver) fox body Mustang ran 11.91 with 330 rear-wheel horsepower. A 3700 pond car would require roughly 370 horsepower to complete the quarter mile in 12.2 seconds @ 109 mph (providing that gearing, traction, shift points etc. were opitmised). Check out the "Quarter Junior" program. Perhaps the whopping torque figures offsets the relatively low HP figures on that comination, making 12.20's possible. None the less, horsepower is work/time and it takes a certain amount of power to accellerate 3700 pounds to 109 mph in 12.2 seconds. 316hp seems to be about 50 hp too low.

Also we must distinguish between rear wheel hp and flywheel horsepower.

BTW, peak horsepower at 3600 RPM doesn't surprise me too much on an otherwise stock 3.8 turbo six (although I would have guessed it to be a little higher - say 4200 RPM). Don't forget, the 3.8 is a low RPM motor. In stock trim, with stock valves and camshaft, they probably get valve float around 5000 RPM. But I'll bet it has 400 foot pounds of torque available at 2000 RPM. Cool engines. I always wanted to build a "copy" of a turbo 3.8 using a 302 Ford motor. Keeping head gaskets in that combination would have been the least of my problems. But that was 10 years ago. Maybe it's possible with after market fuel management systems and knock sensors.

3600 just seems awfully low to me.

turbocody
01-07-2004, 04:24 PM
ok,MustangRoadRacer, the Dyno numbers do not lie and can't be that far off. it's a torque motor not a HP motor and Torque is all that counts when it comes to drag racing. Torque=good 60"=lower times,thus giving me a good 1/4mile time.and i shift at 4600-4800 so that proves to you that it's a low RPM Torque motor. and on the 12.22 pass i locked the converter to get the RPM's down to get more in the torque band.on that pass i got a 1.67 60".and i was only launching at 5psi. with a 8psi launch i should be high to mid 1.5X. and 1psi boost=10HP+ about 15Tq.BTW,locking my converter gives me an extra 30HP or so. you can take a 2 cars that are the same and stick a 300Hp@600Tq motor in it and take one that has 500HP@400Tq. the 600Tq motor will blow his doors off.

AC_A340-500
01-07-2004, 05:24 PM
Well almost. To reach 109 mph in the quarter mile in a 3700 pound car you need a certain amount of power (regardless of your chice of measure: kilowatts or horsepower). Work/time is important here. Torque is simply a measure of work, not sufficient in calculating quarter mile performance. Sure cars with higher torque have a tendency to accellerate more quickly, as do cars with more horsepower. But torque alone isn't enough information, because it's a static figure, missing the variable of "rate".

Top speed at the end of a quarter mile run is the best indicator for rear wheel horsepower, providing we know the mass of the car (or weight, providing that we're drag racing on planet with gravity=9.81m/sē). It doesn't change much, even if the tration and gearing aren't optimal, up to a point (remember, we're not talking about 1000+ hosepower cars here).

Knowing that your car has 450 foot-pounds of torque at 3600 RPM is indeed sufficient information to calculate the horsepower at that exact RPM using the simple formula: horsepower=(torque)x(RPM)/5252

This will give us roughly 310 hosepower, however these hosepower are at exactly 3600 RPM. In order to do a quarter mile run at 109mph, you'll
need to have a few more horsepower, namely 370 (plus or minus a few percent). You'll find that your engine does indeed produce the above mentioned 370 HP (providing the information about your car's weight and mph at the end of the 1/4 mile are correct). Using the same formula, and assuming that your engine's torque doesn't drop off drastically above 3600 RPM, you'll find that your engine makes it's peak horsepower at about 4300 RPM.

None the less, the info you gave about 310HP and 450 foot pounds at 3600 RPM are quite believable and probably very accurate. Peak torque at 3600 RPM sounds right, but 3600 RPM is definately not where your engine makes it's peak horsepower, unless you have a substancial loss in torque above that RPM, thus making 109mph in the quarter mile impossible.

Put your car on a chassis dyno and you'll find it makes 370 horsepower at damned close to 4300 RPM at the rear wheels.

that is very good math you got there.i think the reason i got max HP at 3600 is cause the turbo spiked at 22 psi at spoolup and droped off to 19 throughout the run. and right at 3600rpm the turbo is spiked i beleive. but throughout the run my OTHER max HP was right around 4400rpm(you were very close)and around 310HP or so. but the car did max at 316HP. but these Dyno numbers were with my stock turbo and i have upgraded to a 49mm(Ta-49)Turbo and it;s max HP rating is 545 Vs. the stockers 360, and i think i max out my stock turbo. so with this new turbo it should produce 400+HP and 550+Torque. plus i have a new chip burned for 28* timing in 1-2 and 26* in 3rd and this timing change will give me a little more top end.so 11.50's@118mph is what i'm shooting for.should not be difficult at all.

Well almost. To reach 109 mph in the quarter mile in a 3700 pound car you need a certain amount of power (regardless of your chice of measure: kilowatts or horsepower). Work/time is important here. Torque is simply a measure of work, not sufficient in calculating quarter mile performance. Sure cars with higher torque have a tendency to accellerate more quickly, as do cars with more horsepower. But torque alone isn't enough information, because it's a static figure, missing the variable of "rate".

Top speed at the end of a quarter mile run is the best indicator for rear wheel horsepower, providing we know the mass of the car (or weight, providing that we're drag racing on planet with gravity=9.81m/sē). It doesn't change much, even if the tration and gearing aren't optimal, up to a point (remember, we're not talking about 1000+ hosepower cars here).

Knowing that your car has 450 foot-pounds of torque at 3600 RPM is indeed sufficient information to calculate the horsepower at that exact RPM using the simple formula: horsepower=(torque)x(RPM)/5252

This will give us roughly 310 hosepower, however these hosepower are at exactly 3600 RPM. In order to do a quarter mile run at 109mph, you'll
need to have a few more horsepower, namely 370 (plus or minus a few percent). You'll find that your engine does indeed produce the above mentioned 370 HP (providing the information about your car's weight and mph at the end of the 1/4 mile are correct). Using the same formula, and assuming that your engine's torque doesn't drop off drastically above 3600 RPM, you'll find that your engine makes it's peak horsepower at about 4300 RPM.

None the less, the info you gave about 310HP and 450 foot pounds at 3600 RPM are quite believable and probably very accurate. Peak torque at 3600 RPM sounds right, but 3600 RPM is definately not where your engine makes it's peak horsepower, unless you have a substancial loss in torque above that RPM, thus making 109mph in the quarter mile impossible.

Put your car on a chassis dyno and you'll find it makes 370 horsepower at damned close to 4300 RPM at the rear wheels.

I like your math, Im not saying that it is wrong but, Turbo buicks are goofy. I don't agree with his numbers, im not saying that, I'm just asying it's not uncommon to see a GN with like 400 HP and like 500+ ft-lbs of torque. I wish I could launch with 5 PSI on street tires. I can only launch at 2. However with the slicks I car launch at 10PSI.... Its fun

Hey Super Gas, if I had a 509 that didnt go any quicker than 9.47, I would put that motor in my TOW vehicle. I dont care if it was at 8000 ft. 2700lbs is kinda heavy but thats alot of cubes. We have 500 cube fellas around here running 8.50 and 8.60s in super gas trim. You might want to go Small Block and make things interesting.

Well Shadetree, First Off I'll Bet You A Hundred Bucks You Dont Have, And Never Will Have A Wally, Because If You Did, You Would Be A Better Racer And Sportsman Than Your Reply Shows You Are. Second, Why Dont You Bring Your Cars Up Here To The Mountain And Run Em In The Thin Air, Ill Throw Some More Time In My Throttle Stop To Run Super Street, And We'll See Whos Laughing Through The Traps. My Car Is A Ten Year Old, Mild Steel Chassis Car, A Bit Heavy And Dated Compared To The 1700# Cm S/g Cars That Are Running Up Here, And A 509 At This Alltitude Is Quite Small Compared To The 572's And 632's That Most Of The High Altitude Super Class Racers Are Running. My Motor Is Pretty Maxed Out With The Heads She Has, But I Have A Dyno Sheet To Show 842 Hp At 7400 Rpm, And 696 Ft Lb At 5900 Rpm. Thats At Sea Level Of Course, We Lose About 30-33% Of It At Altitude. So Why Dont You Put Your Money, Or Your Dyno Sheet Where Your Mouth Is, And Learn To Respect Other Peoples Equiptment. Like Your Mom Always Said, If You Dont Have Something Nice To Say, Keep Your Mouth Shut!

03-04-2004, 10:22 PM
Hey Super gas, no sense of humor? MY my, no reason to get all upset. Your right, I have no Dyno sheet, dont need one. You are incorrect about the Wally's. Got FOUR of them and a Divisional Championship a few years back. Wasnt aware of a CM supergass class. CM sounds like comp el. to me. Also wasnt aware of any supergass car weighing 1700lbs. Sounds about 500lbs light to me if i remember my NHRA rules. But what the heck, this is all fun and games, no reason to get your rocker arms in a wad. My mom always said it aint bragging if its true. Mellow dude, its just for fun.

Shadetree, No Hard Feelings, First Off, Congrats On The Wallys, I'll Have My First Soon I Hope, Planning On Attending 3 Div And 2 National Events This Year, Maybe It'll Be My Year. Second, I Was Referring To Chrome Moly When I Wrote Cm, And You Are Close, Sg Weight Is 2100# Except 4 Cyl, Which Is 1200#. I Was Referring To All The Super Class Cars That Have To Add Weight To Make Class, But Take It Off To Bracket Race. Anyway, Are You Doing Any Super Class Or Bracket Racing? I Am Currently Building A 94 2wd S10 For My Wife To Bracket Race This Year. Just A Small Block And A Th350. Try To Get Her In The Mid 12's But Keep It Street Legal. She Wont Drive My Nova, I Sit So Low And Back She Cant See Out Very Well, She Drove Our Friends 72 Nova, 377 And Glide Last Year, She Went 11.98 @ 113mph Her Second Pass, She Didnt Do A Burnout, Didnt Use The Trans Brake, And Didnt Leave On The Converter, But She Had A Blast. So Shes Hooked On Driving Now, Shes Not Content With Helping Me And Running The Weather Anymore. Take Care

Hey, your car's probably about even with mine... but I've definitely got the cool factor over on you...

1963 Ford Galaxie Boxtop w/4bbl 390: Completely untested... *warning! estimated numbers follow*
0-60 in the high 6's or low 7's
1/4 mile in the upper 14's or low 15's (it's an auto trans... calm down)

around 320bhp/400lb-ft. at the wheels (estimate based on stock numbers and what little I've done so far)

the bloody thing weighs about 3900 with no driver... so there's a good chunk of my slow times... but hey, this thing is like 99% stock the way it is... and as soon as I get a job (got one lined up starting in mid-june... I'm about to turn 17 btw) I'm gonna completely work the engine over... replace the cam, piston heads, intake manifold, carb, essentially everything on the motor but the block.

I'm going to throw the BS flag again. :bs:

You say in this quote, you have a blower. However, in your pics a couple posts later, there is no blower, unless you don't know what a blower is, which wouldn't surprise me. Also, from your poor wording, they made a Turbo 400 trans, but it was not a 6spd.

oh ok. my bad. i didnt realize they were of your car when you were 16,(your profile says your now 18 for a few more days), of your "little bro" who at the time was probably 15 at the oldest, seing as how you were 16 and he is your little bro, with his prom date. your bro must be good looking to be 15 and have some older girl want to talke him to prom, unless your school lets freshman go to prom. i know my old school didnt unless it was with a junior or senior.
