montezumola Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Me with completely standard j-spec auto - 13.558 @ 103.4 MPH. Me with BPU j-spec auto - 12.51 @ 109 MPH. Sorry for the slight hijack, but was your 1/4 BPU time of 12.5 done with a quick launch? (Guess it was with a high-stall TC!) I can't get under 13.6 in my BPU auto TT but my terminal speed is also 109mph Do you know what your 0-60 was on that run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 monkey mark run an 11 odd second quarter on stock turbos at BPU I believe....sound good also a lot of other guys have run low 12's I watching suprasteve and steveyboy on here both run 12's at the pod Steveyboy is auto but i'm manual. going from standard to BPU is the best £1,500 i've ever spent (i'm sure you could get it done for less). It should be against the law not to Neg points to consider... -less mpg -potential reduction in shelf life of turbos -much louder inside and outside of the car -may increase insurance premiums -less grip in rain (due to massive serge in power at 4,000 rpm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun. Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Neg points to consider... -much louder inside and outside of the car Sorry, Got to disagree.... it's a positive point IMHO Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Sorry for the slight hijack, but was your 1/4 BPU time of 12.5 done with a quick launch? (Guess it was with a high-stall TC!) I can't get under 13.6 in my BPU auto TT but my terminal speed is also 109mph Do you know what your 0-60 was on that run? It was done at Elvington (TOTB5) so not a great surface.... 60ft will have been 1.8 sec at best (although TOTB Chris Mann never got back to me with a list of 60ft's from the day) running BFG Drag Radial Tyres on the back (these are street legal with tread pattern etc). At Santapod I'm confident I could do a 1.7 sec 60ft, possibly a 1.6 sec 60ft. My time with the car standard was with normal Falken FK-452 road tyres and that was with a 2.0 sec 60ft (best in club on normal tyres). The key to low 1/4 times for any given power / terminal is decent 60ft's. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
