VE-T track run

[Coheed]

Car ran great. This is about 19psi. Was gonna run more boost but when the temp dropped (midnight drags) it through my boost controller off. It is a bleeder type so it is affected by air density. poop. I was wanting to run 23-24psi.

Here's what I did.

R/T .511
60' 2.29
330 6.02
1/8 8.93
mph 88.5
1000 11.32
1/4 13.31
mph 114.00

The times are not that good, I only got two passes. I kept everything in complete street form. I am running 205/55r15 Fuzion Hri tires set at 35psi. I couldn't hook for anything of course. This run would have been better, but I hit the rev limiter in 2nd and it bogged going to 3rd.

What do you think the car could do with slicks and 24psi? I am thinking mid to low 11s with a 1.7 60'...

[RedDragun]

Should be able to hit tens with that horsepower.

[SUNNYboi]

Damn dude you ran what a built NA VE does. But you need that little monster to hook. Ask a buddy with DRs to let you run once and if it still doesnt hook. Slicks FTW!

[Speculative]

Wow. Traction problems anyone? With over 400 horse you should definitely be, uh, standing out from the crowd...

[endlessmike]

Next time try dropping your tire pressure. Also, how are you launching?

[b14_vzr]

that mph is good for low 12s...work on the 60ft man

[Kleensleeper]

Get some slicks on there.

[Coheed]

slicks should get me an 11.5 if I can nail a 1.8 60 ft. The guy I ran against did 11.67 at 111mph with a 1.8.

[Coheed]

same hard launch on my car would be around 11.5 on 19psi.
And if I can nail the 23psi on this turbo I will hit low 11s. with slicks of course.

i thought he was pulling 1.6 60ft in that honda ? his car is sick all motor k20 running 11.60s, man i wish i had power out of the hole like him, hook and go

[NX-DET]

shoulda, coulda, woulda dude.

stop making excuses and run your car for what it is...period

13.3 is what you ran.

[Payu]

So my B13 DE-T probably have close to 400WHP @ 16psi because my car runs 12.8 @115 on street tires and a 330 lbs driver jejejeje.. I dont think soo...

You need to trap atleast in the high 120's to be in the low 11's. You still have a ways to go.

Have you considered taking some weight out of the car?

Rob, from looking at his times I don't think its weight thats killing him..I think the tune he has is no good..For the power your making vs your trap speed, something isn't right. Granted you didn't, but 13.2@114..If you didn't hook like you said @ 442WHP your traps should of cleared 120 mark.

IMO this is why I think the whole VET thing is a waste, everyone that has a VET or doing a VET just wants the highest WHP period. DET's are doing the same if not better then every VET on the forums. T28 & GT28RS are trapping your speed on a DET.

I personally think you should get rid of the JWT, look into a Calum Real time or go stand alone.

I have said it since day one this car is not performing the way it should. I am not knocking on the car. I know Coheed is having fun with the car but, I like you Nick feel the car for the power its making should be faster.

Coheed maybe you should condsider actually getting the car tuned. Add a S-AFC or maybe switch to another tuning method.


Nick, I would not say that the VE-T thing is a waste. I have driven high whp DET's DE-T's and VE-T's and I will tell you from my experience that the VE-T's feel stronger. Now I am not knocking the DE. Still a huge fan of it.

Manny's VE-T car at high boost was just simply amazing. The car had the wickedest top end I have ever felt out of any SR powered car I have ever driven. To this day it is the fastest SE-R I have driven. I know for a fact Manny's car would have been a low 11 second high 10 second car with a kickass trap. I am not saying the same could not be had by a DE I am just backing up the potential of a well built VE on boost. **** look at the mazworx car.
