0-60mph what can u do.

[t-gunz]

my old motorbike done it in 3.2 secs....

[T3/T4 GSR]

Stock 99 M3 EVO....I wanna say I can easily pull off a high 4 second 0-60 with good tires.

[KINGKONG]

My evo run's 9's in 1/4 mile so whatever that is 0-60..I'll post some video's of it at the dragstrip this spring...

1997 Mitsubish Eclipse GST, Stage 2 Persperating turbos, (two turbos, one for low end and one for high end) Full hahn built motor, port polished, its worked, full hanh transmission, on a wide body kit and 18 inch rims. no governor and tops out at about 183 miles an hour...Ill race just about any of you lol

Why would you convert a race motor to a twin turbo?

[boarder034]

Its not a twin turbo, its persperating turbos, off of one system, one boost, the small turbo spools in the low end for aceleration and the larger turbo spools in the high end for top speed...

[boarder034]

And why wouldnt you convert a race motor into a turboed motor. that doesnt make sence not to, you cant run more boost without having a worked motor, or you will blow it up.

[gixxerboy1]

Yes that 2 turbo's. Thats what i said.

[gixxerboy1]

A mitsi gst is a single turbo. What you were talking about was 2 turbo's. I have no problem turboing a race motor. But what i was saying is most race motors run 1 turbo not 2. All the fast supras are single turbo's

[MotoXracer]

Got all you beat, 0-60 in a couple seconds but i'm 15 feet in the air

This is my 230 pound fat ass on a crf250 flying through the air.

0 to 100 2.78

[guest589745]

Well, what does 1/4 mile @ 11.4 seconds equal out to ? Not my truck but it will be one day. Big block pro street pickup, fatass mickey thompsons, goes like hell. My uncles.

[MotoXracer]

0 to 100 2.78

Never driven one of these but a NHRA Top Fuel dragster accelerates from 0 to 100 mph in less than .8-second... I can't even imagine accelerating that fast.

[G-1000]

1/4 street car 9.3
1/4 street bike 9.4
1/4 prostock 8.5ish
1/4 drag bike 7.7

Not sure on teh mph off head. I would have to pull out the slips.

[G-1000]

never drove top fule. But have drove prostock and supper street

[MotoXracer]

You used to be into racing alot? Didn't you say you used to race an sv650?

[G-1000]

No i use to run open class 750.

But i build high performance street cars.

[audis4]

havnt had any actual car threads about specifics yet. so ill start one

my car is 06 wrx impreza low moded 0-60mph in 5 seconds

qutor mile i havnt had timed but im guessing 12ish

sorry but thats bullshit

[audis4]

have used 95 and 98 and 100 fuel regularly. 1 second difference from 100 and 94. is acurate. my car is 5.9 stock and if he claims its 6.8 in usa. then i will bet my car that that 0.9 is the different in ur 91-94 fuel then my 98-100. if u have not used fuel this high with good expiriments u have no bounds to comment.

right now my car is 5.0 with its upgrades. if i used 95 it would be slower then it was stock with 98. let alone 100. i know what im talking about because i have the fuel to use. if u dont use 100 regularly then u really have no clue the difference in american fuel

sorry wrong again...fuel makes a difference but isn't that noticeable.

[audis4]

that cars pretty sick looking. hows it go on the corners?

I would imagine he knows how to keep it on the road

[G-1000]

sorry wrong again...fuel makes a difference but isn't that noticeable.

depends on the compression in the engine.

[audis4]

0-60 in about 4.6
1/4 13sec

[audis4]

depends on the compression in the engine.

he is referring to 91 vs. 94 octane in his wrx

[G-1000]

he is referring to 91 vs. 94 octane in his wrx

I did not read it. But no that would not make a shit bit diff. The 91 will make more btu and could even go fater if it does not detonate.

[Jay-Ace]

The figures publishes by Subaru are wind tunnel tests on a dyno.

In 2006 Subaru switched their testing to accurately recorded actual tests, I believe this was carried out at Bruntingthorpe.

In 2006 SUbaru announced that they had conservatively reduced the WRX STi Type UK 0-62mph time to 5.4secs. The brand new RB320 (320hp) has been accurately tested to 4.8secs.

In a subaru, fairly new car on dry surface with road tyres, it's 300hp for a 5sec 0-62. Obviously this will vary as SUbaru do not offer a 300hp car from factory, so the will have been modified.

Besides, people who judge their cars performance on their cars maximum power are pure amateurs at best. People who are serious about performance know that area under the torque curve is paramount, as the trail off% of any torque graph.


Fosk, I can quite believe your will pull a 5sec 0-62, but only if you have upped the boost and altered the fuelling. This accompanied by replacemnt of the exhaust system and possibly the downpipe and up pipe along with the cats. The Euro spec WRX runs a standard 230ish bhp, hypothetically for you to be attaining 300ishbhp you would most certainly need fuelling remapped, along with a boost controller and 12-14psi of boost, couple this with a nice induction box and full exhaust system with de-cat and you might be looking at 5secs.

I know sccoby's inside out and upside down, I've owned every shape of STi right up from the 1992 rare pre-badged editions, with the exception of the 2007 model as I'm still debating which variant to choose. At present, Litchfield is going to be getting my money.


As for fuel octanes.....

Changing fuel without altering an engines ECU map will not give much difference in the drive, normally just a little smoother through the revs.

However, with map changes big gains can be had. A very well known tuner and personal friend mapped an Escort Cosworth on 95 and then again on 100, the difference was a staggering 90 odd bhp/lbft and an impressive change on the graphs smoothness and distinct lack of sudden tail off.

Also, the new Porsche 997 Turbo produces 81bhp more on 100 than it does with standard 97, with just a slight tweak on the map. As carried by (I believe) RUF.

/\ /\ /\ /\ - Thats from Ben, best mate and business partner.



GSXXR, I think you;d prbably like what were building. Didnt know you were into cars!!

Me and ben are lookin to enter the next Gumball in an Atom, sposored by Speedo in... you guessed it... our speedos!!

Atom should be running (depending on final engine choice) either 450hp or 530hp.

I know of a guys whose wheelies at 400hp so that'll be good!!

Edit:

PS. Expecting ~10.8-11 1/4 on Mickey T road legals, about 10.3-10.5 on slicks with tubes @ 450bhp. Who knows at 530, LOT more weight over the back with teh 1st choice engine but it'ss gonna need wheelie bars as the engine COG will be behind the rear axle pivot we think!! Sub-10's would be fantastic!!

I expect a 0-62 of 2.8-3 @450, maybe less @530 but Physics is up against us there!!

[sooners04]

Gsxxr is correct on the fuel issue. Fuel octane is only an issue when the compression ratio is high. The higher the compression ratio the higher octane needed to run it. The motor can only do so much with a certain octane, again depending on the compression ratio of the piston/head. I have 9:1 flat top piston with a 58cc head. Therfore my ratio is probably around 10:1. My father has 10:1 flat top pistons with 76cc heads so he is probably around 9.5:1 compression. I have to use a minimum of 91 but have ran 98 and really very little difference. My father can run 89 and has run 98 and saw no difference. Octane has no effect on exhaust or vice versa either, that was ridiculous. All the exhaust does is get the fumes out faster/slower depending on the size. Building an engine is about putting together parts that work well with each other. You can't put a cam with a lift of .625 and expect it to work well with a stock intake and a 2 barrel carb. Octane will not drop times, if that was the case then whoever had the highest octane would win right?

[auslifta]

10.9 1/4 mile on bike
11.7 @127mph in car
on a side note i had a race with a mate at the track he drives a STI 06 totally stock he pulled a 12.9,two weeks later after exhaust, larger front mount,750cc injectors,MOTEC and a tune on 22psi he ran a 11.8

tune was with 110 octane

[xpijeonx]

Thank you JAY-ACE.

I have been readin through this entire thread and shakin my head at most of it.

6 pages and finally someone who knows subies. I dont know alot but browse around and gather what I can on NASIOC.

I do know that Subaru of America did claim in commercials when the WRX first came out here that the 0-60 was 5.8 and had 227 HP. 02-03? was the first year...

Fosk, you live in Europe why are you testin your car in an American measurement? PS, you only have one blow off valve but also a wastegate.

Also who ever posted about the octane rating difference across the pond. I have read it also elsewhere and believe it to be true, that the fuel is the same just a different rating system.

[bignatt]

Putting higher octane in a car prevents ping in the motor so you can advance your timing in turn will give you a tad more hp

1968 camaro SS
zz454 489HP 525ft/lbs tourque
11.3 quarter

[bignatt]

If you havent advanced your timing or changed your computer in your wrx the octane will not make a differecne

[mousetraps]

my car will do it in under 13 seconds flat

[sooners04]

That small amount of hp still doesn't equate to lower ETAs, which is what Fosk or whoever was ranting about.

[Foskamink]

he is referring to 91 vs. 94 octane in his wrx

no im not. im referring 91 to 100.

[sooners04]

no im not. im referring 91 to 100.

Still won't matter.

what cars u 2 running

and no and no.

[lucabratzi]

prob sub 4's on my bike...and high 4's on a good day in my rex...

[Foskamink]

some nice cars here. so ill leave mine as 5.0 0-60mph and prolly 14 q mile

[G-1000]

The only reson for high octane fule is to cool the cylinder and prevet detonation. The higher the octane the faster and cooler the fule burns.

if you take a motor with 12:1 you can not run less then 100 octane with it. If you do it will detonat and brake a piston rod or something.

Now take the same motor running at 12:1 and run 94 octane with water injection. This water acohale mix cools the cylinders and slows down the burn rate of the fule. This will preven detonation and will alow you to make more power the the motor with 100 octane. You will also have to adjust timming and tune it diffrent. The water also helps the motor to run cleaner with less carbin. This will also help with emishions.




No i am not into cars. I hate cars after working on the for the last 15 year. That is whay i liek bikes and dont talk about cars on the open form.

[UpstateTank]

my 0-60 sucks but it does do good burnouts
