Back from the track 11.6@120mph on pump

[2001S4NY]

Just got in from Etown ran [email protected] MPH @23 PSI on Pump Gas

Car Has GT28's on a Stock Engine with CATS on the car and a ASP Dual Exhaust
Open Element ITG Filter no Heatshield, No Headlight at the track. Car is full interior with all my school stuff on the backseats weight in at 3660LB's with me in the car

Going to the track again next week will try a lil more boost and a small retune

[bigmerle]

congrats !!! Nice run!!!

[smaggs]

Being so dope

[S4 in_lowplaces]

nice

[Das General]

Nice work punk.

Get that 60' down

[ladedruck]

Nice run but what happened on the big end? You trap the 1/8th at 99 but the 1/4 only at 120? I would think you would run top heavy and trap higher then that.

[AB18]

Nice dude, thats great for pump gas. Put that on a diet, add some 104oct, boost, and you may be knocking on 10s.

i think my cats might be clogged or choking me out on top end. Next week will try and run with no exhaust

[skunkoncrunk]

Nice work.

[ms4cd]

Very nice, got any pics of your setup?

[ToMMyRsK04]

you run cats ?? anyway .. no race gas next week ??

[2001S4NY]

you run cats ?? anyway .. no race gas next week ??

lol yes i run cats, next week maybe wont run cats :D who knows my car is way too loud with cats cant imagine how loud it would be with no cats but i guess i might remove them who needs them lol... Might try some 100 or 110 next week. Also if i do that need to do some tuning for it before the track.

[NYCVR6]

That's what's up Greg

[ToMMyRsK04]

loll just didnt think you would be running cats on your setup .. I dont, never did .. no cats = 110oct

[///M3 TO S4]

Nice times.....but yeah, you're killing yourself on the topend. 99mph 1/8 mile trap you should be HIGH 120's for the 1/4 mile speed. That thing is going to be a monster when you get it all dialed in.

my issue is hardware.. After i remove cats will definitely need a retune.

Also Methanol would be a very big help to me at this point. My IC temp at the track was 100* and stayed at 100* for the run..

[S4M3]

I thought if FATS is 2.8 on pump gas u would trap more then 120 mph ? I might just be wrong,,,

[AB18]

Fats is such a small look at a cars acceleration, especailly in drag racing. Alot of other factors to look at.

[lostkhan]

Since you are in NewYork. You can actually tell me some fine tuners here. I am no0b at this chipping the ecu's and all turbos since i had an Acura before and no Chips can give that car power. I got an 1.8T A4 now and its too slow for me to even drive it around. But i like the shape and handling so much that i decided to mod this instead of getting e36M3.
Will appreciate your help boss.

Bad ass run!

[Mrsfourrings]

Congrats Greg nice run. Methanol will def. be a positive-keep up the good
work tuning!

[PoloIceberg]

who did u go to the track with? Nice run, throw the cats in the garbage! F*ck the enviroment!...lol

[generationjdm]

Nice run, but just out of curiosity, how were your starting intake air temps 100 degrees when ambient was just 43 according to your timeslip?

Did you use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up your FMIC in between runs while in the staging lanes?

Awesome run especially with cats,full interior and 10.8-11.1 afr on pump gas... I talked to Greg when he was at the track, 1.5 hours in the staging lanes heat soaking off and on because of oil on the track didn't help the AIT...

[amd is the best]

Any video action??

[2001S4NY]

from waiting at the line, i think i found out that the FMIC soaks up more heat from the radiator then anything. I might consider getting methanol depending how fast i can get it shipped to me and get some nice new Bi Pipes ;)

[ladedruck]

it seems like if the front mount was working very well at all it would cool off quick once you left the line in that weather. Post the logs if you feel like entertaining me.

did u have the fan running while stop?

[2001S4NY]

How does 1.5 hours in 43 degree temps with the engine turned off and the hood open add up to a "heatsoaked" FMIC? Sorry, but I can't see that happening. I have thousands of logs and would venture to say that his starting temp would be real close to ambient under those conditions with a FMIC.

lol let me get my laptop ill show u

[GURUMAN]

Congrats Greg, Looks like your faster than me at the moment....

Ask that question to Greg why he had the car running....

[generationjdm]

I logged my car last night in the same air and conditions as you and with OEM RS4 intercoolers, my starting temps were only in the mid 40's. This was with just *5 minutes* of cool down in between runs, not an hour and a half like you had, not to mention you have a huge FMIC which has proven to offer better, more consistent cooling than the RS4s.

Here they are, same night, same conditions as you:



I really don't see how 100 degree starting IATs are possible when ambient is only 43... Did you accidentally spill a couple cups of hot chocolate all over your FMIC?

If you claimed to have logged 100 degree starting intake air temps at the track with your laptop, why not just use the same laptop to post the logs? I don't understand why you can't post these logs and the ones from the other day that you said you'd post.

He had the car running not for an 1.5 hours but a little to long before he started the run would be my guess. What r you trying to imply?

[sweed]

Nice Run!
Have you gotten to the Post Office yet?? :)

[my2000APB]

lets see those logs greg! this is the gen jdm setup correct? stock heads and bottom end?

FMICs are bolted to the center of the car's nose. The radiator happens to be right there too.

SMICs are bolted into small passages behind each end of the bumper. There are no radiators located in either of those areas....

Conduction of heat happens when one hot surface touches another cooler surface. Being parked with the motor running will continually add heat.

[2001S4NY]

for those non believers and Sleeper S4 AKA 10secS4 MARC

[McKennaS4]

nice run greg. keep up the good work!

[ladedruck]

Just to be clear I wasn't a non believer in your temps. I was just interested because it seems to support side mount being a better choice. I can't imagine running an IC that doesn't C.

[2001S4NY]

yes i believe actually SMIC might be a better option for the track.. Im about to go steal my brothers ER's lol

[JDM EJ1 95]

not going to try and be a jerk but arent there tons of tweaked stg3s running these times?


hopefully when you get your issues straitened out well see some 11.3-10.80s

but there is so much more potetnial with the GT kits

[Das General]

Running 11.6 on pump? Maybe on race...
