Santa Pod with results...

[Bone]

My first go up the strip. Pretty happy with the results. With a bit of practice I should be able to knock it sown a bit

[Quigonjay]

any idea what power you are making mate?
seems a bit slow for a slightly modded rev3

SLOW! 13.6 isn't slow mate. I am probably running between 270 and 300 bhp.

Thats not bad. Stock rev3 can supposedly do 13.6 but most of it is down to how well you get off the line. So, if you had better tyres and more practise, a 270-300 hp rev3 will have potential for faster, perhaps 13 dead?

I'm running 235 falken 452's at the mo but when there warn out I'll be putting 245's on hopefully that will help.

[Quigonjay]

only meant by a few tenths
car seems to have similar mods power wise to mine and i did 13.3 on my first go at york which isnt as well prepared as the pod

Agreed. I had a 13.1 with 280bhp at York Raceway. It's all about the launch.

Ive run at the pod b4 and the traction was rubbish.....its was january though

Its true its all down to the launch which is not to bad with the standard turbo and you dont have to dump the cluch much over 3k

[MR John]

Well i had 14:3 @96MPH in my stock MR2 turbo rev 2 so dont think it's too bad comparing

[Greensides]

Well am running a completely standard rev 3 and i clocked a 13.5 at York , i was pretty happy with that time

[cantfindausername]

I got a 13.5 in my Rev2 (many moons ago) running just a mongoose exhaust, 1bar boost and no airfilter.

Low 13 if you let me drive it

[Greensides]

let me drive yours and it will be a 9 second car

[2barGee]

[greeny]

9 seconds to get it off the line?

I seem to remember you having trouble even moving it, let alone launching it

[greeny]

Don't encourage him!

Thats impressive for standard, it almost seems pointless in modding the car at then as many modded 2's dont do much under that

Having dragged a CT20 around 40 times, I can confidently say that even with some rubbish Nankangs that it's a doddle to launch. DONT dip the clutch, you WILL get wheelspin. You have to slipclutch the MR2 and you get some ridiculously quick 60foots which is where it counts. Ok, so it takes a bit more beef off the clutch but it's the way to do it for sure.

I've got a much larger turbo now running quite a bit more power and it requires absolutely perfect input otherwise you get massive bog down or an insane amount of wheelspin. I think the best turbo for dragging would be a GT2860RS or similar. Very wide torque curve and great spoolup.
