help with my launching
well I will be running in the nopi nationals this comming saturday and sunday. and last time I went to the track my 60ft's sucked or at least I think they do. I have a 88 crx with high cr ls/vtec in it. the car puts down some decient numbers for na anyways I cut 1.9's last time with m&h race masters 22" slicks my time was 13.4@100 I don't think that is horrible just the 60's. I set the 2step @7800 seems to go decient but 60's still suck. Is it my suspension? we just put shims in the rear. any other things you guys do that I don't know about. thanks anything would be helpfull I really have my heart set on 12.8's but ehh we will see.
here is a vid of the last run I got in. so far only 4 passes on the car 2 with slicks http://www.fourgasmmotorsports.com/88crx-13_49.wmv |
Re: help with my launching
1.9 for an all motor car is horrible
|
Re: help with my launching
ya I know tell me about it I was thinking more around the lines of say 1.7 or so 1.6 would be awesome. so what's up with it.

Re: help with my launching
lightweight flywheel?
open header? There's the problem :) |
Re: help with my launching
i bet it is ricer style open header :P
|
Re: help with my launching
and just what exactly is a ricer style open header. :1 you think I could lose that much with a flywheel. I was thinkin about bumpin the air pressure in the tire form 12 to say 16 or 17 whacha think.

Re: help with my launching
open header you loose torque, kills the launch.
You need at add a 18-24" section to it to bring the torque back. Flywheel = stored energy, helps the launch. WHat rpm are you trapping at in 4th gear? Migth wanna goto a 20x8x14 slick.......then your light flywheel might be OK. |
Re: help with my launching
not positive on the rpm but I wanna say around 7k or so maybe just under it. should I try launching at 8500 ? help a little. I have to say though the car doesn't really bog at all. just rips up and goes. I think I will try the 18" pipe thing to see what that does.

Re: help with my launching
old school V8 knowledge wins again :)
Gotta tune the collector length :) What was your 60 foot? |
Re: help with my launching
consistant 1.8's still not good but considering that's on a stock 210k suspension it's not horrible. some of the pros were sayin I should run like 5 or 6psi in the tires. but ehh that seems almost unsafe. I will post a vid as soon as i can it's a borrowed camera with a dead batt and no charger or firewire cord so could be a week or so anyways here are the results for last sunday
60' -1.874 330'-5.302 1/8-8.204@84.26 1000'-10.697 1/4- 12.8@105.58 |
Re: help with my launching
I never went below 12 psi on the 22x8x13's, but only got 4 passes on them. I was told 9-10 psi is better, but never got back to try.
My best N20 passes for comparison.........on 20x8x14 @ 12 psi http://www.bettendorf.com/~mrbone/pi...meslip1309.jpg |
