Have any of you guys been to the track yet? I know they are open, and I'm looking to go here soon. For you math calculators, say hypothetically if you ran a 13.0 in the 1/4, what would that translate into for a 1/8th mile?

13.5 1/4 = roughly what 1/8th mile?

13.0 = 1/8th?

12.8 = 1/8th?


I'm trying to see what numbers are good numbers for a boosted tC to do in the 1/8th mile?

No input from anyone?

Hey Travis this what Kenny wrote on the ZPI forums, i don't know if you've read it or not.
13.0 = 8.33

12.8 = 8.20

Interesting, thanks for that. I didn't see where he mentioned it.

The reason for this thread was because I was doing some testing with the HKS Type-1 turbo timer. Trying to relearn how to launch the car now that it's F/I, then I can pass the info. onto Misti, so she knows what to do when we race. I just learned how to Brake Boost recently. I did a 1/8th measurement run on the highway. I pulled over to the shoulder to make sure no cars were left on the road, and then set the TT to 1/8th. It can either do a count down from 3 sec. and then you go, or you can have it count when you start moving.

I had it set to when I start moving. I barely launched it, at like 2grand (no pre-spooling or anything like that, is it possible to do that sitting still anyway?), all the while trying to take off from the shoulder of the highway and pull the car over onto the normal pavement... Anyhow, the TT clicked off an 8.51 1/8th time. I want to see how accurate it is when I go to the track EVENTUALLY. So, I estimate our car to do low 13's, maybe a high 12 can be squeezed in.

well I know this isnt exact but my turbo tacoma runs a this was on DRs launching @ 3k so I dont break the stock half shafts .
3000lbs
1.9 ...60'
8.14... 1/8
12.54.... 1/4
111.83 ....mph


and my S/C tacoma runs a "this was street tires"
3200lbs
2.0 ... 60'
8.7.... 1/8
13.68 ... 1/4
99.12 ... mph

^^Yeah, the 1.56 multiplication seems to be pretty on target. Good #'s in the Tacoma by the way (So you have two tacoma's?). How much lbs where you pushing on it?

toyotaracer9

the 4cyl is turboed running 14lbs . and the v6 is supercharged running 6-7 lbs .

Niiiiccceeee...

^^^ thanks guys , once Igeta stage 5 clutch im gonna crank it up to 20psi . look at my profile I have a pic of them in there . you guys need to go to the track already . im dying to see what these cars can do .

rhythmnsmoke

I predict constant Low, low 13's. And even dips into the 12's. This weekend coming is Slammin and Jammin car show. So, still won't have any #'s this weekend either. But I hope Misti can play hooky one Tues. night, because Beach Bend Raceway has Public drags on Tues. Nights.

Hey sorry this is off topic but i was wondering who makes the turbo for the tacoma and where you can get it
You can pm me if ya want so not to take away from the thread.

And nice setup on your tc rythm

rhythmnsmoke

Misti and ZPI thank you..

toyotaracer9

there is no doubt that car is gonna be in the 12s ill bet that ws6 that u races had a few bolt ons and everyone knows that those LS1 engines really work from around 70-140 and u worked him well .



I made the turbo kit myself and running a GT3071r

rhythmnsmoke

That's a nice size turbo. Yeah, I asked the guy what it was pushin horsepower wise. He said 320 flywheel hp. He predicted that the tC would get him. But I wasn't expecting it to get pulled that hard. I wish I had my other camera recording, because the site from my Z as I followed was just awesome. You See the tC just come out of no where, and with the sound of the open wastegate....PURE BLISS..
