Interesting setup. Seems it should be faster... The stock BP ECU is probably holding you back.

[Geovannie]

Faster really with that turbo at that boost? I searched and could not find anybodoy posting times with similar setup. All I found was one guy running a VJ20 turbo and did less mph then my car.

How much faster do you think it should be? That turbo is ridiculously small and I'm running at a pathetic boost level.

The times are good for the setup.

[MazdaRacer]

with just a standalone ECU, i bet you can add ~20whp with just tuning.

I'm not saying it's slow, they are good times for what you have.

[THEGOLDPRO]

times are pretty good for your setup, any traction issues?

[Geovannie]

Yup, my tires where very bald so it would spin all of second. Got that taken care of now. Probably going back tomorrow or Friday. The times are not too far off, a fwd on regular street tires with 101mph trap will run 14.0-14.2.

[THEGOLDPRO]

those are not bad numbers, hopefully you will run much better times with the new tires, any idea what kinda hp you puttin down?

[Geovannie]

Have no clue, but I will get it on the dyno when I'm not so busy.

Went to the track tonight. Only change was some used tires that I bought cheap and better driving. With me in the car(almost 400lbs) I did the following.

.597
2.363
6.336
9.380
81.73
11.977
14.179
102.30

I did a 14.3 and a 14.5. Problem was that I was going wide open throttle too early in second then pedaled it till it caught traction. Much easier if I shifted fast and rolled into the throttle in second. Spun a lot less that way. I have some drag radials I'm getting tomorrow. Hopefully I will be well into the 13s next week. Still on pump gas and only 10psi(it was hotter today so I got less boost).
