Paul Whiffin Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 It had around 600bhp on the stage1 turbo in 2002 and around 650-700bhp in 2003 with the stage2+ turbo and a few other mods, dont know what its going to kick out now, hopefully more! It'll be ready yep, it'll be done in a few weeks hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Hey Paul, Where does your wastegate dump tube go, at the moment mine is facing forward but I am getting some new custom downpipes and dump tube made and was thinking of having the dump tube exiting just behind the drivers side front wheel.

Paul Laing Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Originally posted by MONKEYmark looks like you got some competition this year lots of people going single. even dude did a 12.17 with stock turbos Thought that car dude drove had Hybrids on it?

Paul Dragracing Times For Stock & Hybrid Turbos they still stock supra turbos with a bigger insides to them. you could beat the time with some good rubber and driving there is a santapod event on this sat and sun. sunday is a RWYB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 They should be in another section, there not stock, there modified turbo's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 true, but how would you know. You cant tell a set of hybrids from the outside so somebody could easily say they were stock when they arent. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Thats not the point tho is it. Stock is with turbos from the factory mod uprated ones. Same difference with street tyres and drag radials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 it is the point though, theres no point seperating the times when you cant tell whether its on hybrids or not. Its marks 1/4 mile time thread, up to him how he does it really. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 i cant see it making any difference to me. theres not that much in it is there. mine has no fuel mods boost controller and not running hybrids or drag radials. john did 12.17 i did 12.53 with some drag radials and a good launch it could be beaten. they run mid 11`s on stock turbos. there are a few on list with hybrids so to me i cant see it making much difference. aint they best for top end and more stronger? they are still stock turbos if you want me to clearly mark up hybrid turbos i can do. but what next cams??? torque convertors ??? uprated clutches if you have any thoughts you can stick in the drag thread so we dont hijack pauls thread. we all want whats best for the supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Leave it as it is Mark. IMHO, it should be anything goes except big twins/single. Hybrids are indistingishable from stock. Some would lie, some might not even know if the have hybrids or not. People can volunteer info DRs weight loss etc, but anyone on any mods with stock-based turbos should be legal.

dude Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Prehaps we should make it clear that it should say stock based turbos !!! Trust me my J-spec would have wiped the floor with that black car and that was on stock turbos which it seems one survived , because when i put it back in Seq mode i have 0.6 bar and no smoke !!!!

dude Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 As an aside it may be an idea to say that the times should be backed up by one within a certain % to prove its no a timing fault , ie 4 X 13.5's and a 11.1 !!!!! Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Not always practicle at Pod, due to the long queues. But good idea if possible, nice for times to be 'backed-up'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt have to be same meeting but if its an important time ie mine cause its gone to the top of the list a back up would be nice , it also silences the doubting thomas' !!!!

MONKEYmark Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 thats the good thing about york dragstrip they put all the times on there web site with dates. with elvington you feel a bit cheated. you only get 1/4 time and trap speed sometimes you dont get trap speeds. i like york because its just like santapod with real dragracing setup with lights. last time i went to york http://yorkdragway.intrica.co.uk/results.pl?date=2003-10-05;car=X47 go here for complete listings for 2 years of events http://yorkdragway.intrica.co.uk/results.pl they also do a thing with classes where you get to race other cars with same power sort of thing. the class system takes a bit of working out so i used to go in the top class X with 4x4 cars CLASS A pocket rocket upto 1600cc no turbos or nitrous CLASS B sports car upto 1600cc with turbo and/or nitrous. or upto 1800cc with NO turbo or nitrous CLASS C super sports cars up to 1800cc with turbo and/or nitrous or up to 2000cc with NO turbo and/or nitrous CLASS D touring car over 2000cc with no turbo and/or nitrous CLASS T super touring car over 1800cc with turbo and/or nitrous CLASS X ultimate 4x4 car all 4 wheel drive cars including turbo and /or nitrous CLASS R classic car all classic cars where the first of its type was produced prior to 1980 CLASS Y run what you brung car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 next one is 11th & 12th april easter monday. 12th will be busy as they have american cars racing each other and minis vs vw beetles and all other cars. its more of a cram everything in sort of show for the family. the class system is good as you can win a trophy and race some other fast cars instead of novas and saxos there web site it seems they think of the other cars as mickey mouse cars. they are all for american cars at that strip. but its crap when you see some of them american cars getting beat by saxos and doing 17+ second 1/4`s lots of dates on main page ps forgot to put link in http://yorkdragway.intrica.co.uk/index.pl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Cheers mate, i won't have my car back till next wednesaday though, but i think ChrisB is popping down to run.
