Re: ALFA MR2 Drag Car For Sale

I purchased this car and my mechanic "Xxxx" decided it was way out of my budget to rebuild/repair for drag/track use, so he purchased it off me for what I paid. Now he has sold most of the running gear to some person and both Xxxx and the person who has purchased the stuff are considering...

Nathan / Si,

Re: [All] [Generic] RCA splitter?

Ah so its 2 separate amps in a box. Shame, does the amp have a passthru option next to the RCA's? You can try the splitter as long as the current gain isnt turned up to much you might not notice much of an impact on the sound volume. Else you can get powered RCA splitters that will split the RCA int...

Re: [All] [Generic] RCA splitter?

Dont forget by splitting the signal from the RCA you will have to increase the gain on the amp to get the same output volume.

Do you have 2 x 2 way or 1 x 4 way amp?

Re: TOTB VII (2008) - "Team MR2"

Michael,

If you cant get any suspension guru's then not to worry mate.... us drag strip guys will have to setup the suspension as a best of both.

A compromise so a say.

Re: TOTB VII (2008) - "Team MR2"

Are we going to have anyone on site that knows much about suspension.... Just a thought, you cant really have a car thats good for both drag and circuit. On a strip you would want to run -/+ 0 camber to get as much rubber as you can on the road. For a good track car you would want to run a lot more ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Top mount turbo advice

umm, Just looked at his garage and his latest dyno run says 355 flywheel which is a bit far from 400 wheel. Look at simons car, 2.2 stroker, gt35r and made 450 wheel at 1.4bar. If you lose the .2 then I reckon you would be about the 430 mark at 1.5bar A 30 frame turbo I very much doubt would produce...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Top mount turbo advice

Ummm being a T3 fitment i would assume that it would be a 30 frame turbo. The 200sx is a 2L car as well. I would be dubious it would make the power you want at the 1.6BAR levels you would like to run. Also the pressure is dropping off at the top end, i would assume the small T3 housing and small com...

I think with a bit of work and experience i do not see why both Simons and mine cannot be running at least in the 10's. Simon is still running a conservative map and has a lot more power to come.... Mine is in the shop and i will be waiting to see what power it makes.... thanks James@toyotagt :thuml...

Re: Santapod May day 5th bank holiday - woot -

Yeah im quite keen to see what this T88 can do before the turbo is swapped.

Gonna crank it back up to 1.8Bar and see how many horses i can get out of it :twisted:

I hear you did a 12 second pass - you think you can be quicker next time.

Were you going pretty easy on it?

Not sure who else does them but you can try tiltion or carbonetics they could be cheaper if they make a suitable clutch.

TBH, I wouldn't even consider anything less than a carbon/carbon nowadays! As a clutch material they tick all the boxes! they are light, they don't wear, the more power you chuck at them the better they grip which is the opposite to any other clutch material. A triple would be more than enough to ho...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] What mod next for more power

I agree spend some money on a mapable ecu as james suggests and spend time on removing bits you don't need.

The combination of more power from a mapable ecu and less weight will cut a lot of time off your runs and the fuel economy should be better too :)
