2.411
7.308
11.352
60.88
17.914
73.82

after 3 runs and a little throttle body adjustments, bald tires, full system(JL 15) and back seat full of junk.
i didn't know you wernt soppust to go over the water and spin out=) my first time racing.

i have a SOHC with a 5k rev limiter on each gear

oh well i did meet a freind who can put a 302 in my parts 240 for 1000 and i can get a carb 302 for 250=)
so now i know where my piggy bank is going

whateverjames · 08-29-2002, 09:03 PM

5k rev limiter? holy crap. peak horsepower is 5800. ya that'll put a damper on things. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

fodive · 08-29-2002, 09:07 PM

howcome the rev limiter is so low...

anyways, hope you had fun, and hope you learned from any mistakes that you made, so you can get better, cause thats what its all about

MyFirst240SX · 08-29-2002, 09:33 PM

my first run was a 18.7. then a 18.5 with a .351 reactions time, then my 17.9
oh well

Krunko · 08-29-2002, 09:50 PM

man and I felte bad when I ran a 16.9

*HaLo* · 08-29-2002, 09:54 PM

This is a first... Is that rev limiter NORMAL on an SOHC engine?  There must be something wrong because this is the first time I hear about this.

I've seen a stock 89' 240sx run 16.29s on the 1/4 and the guy was shifting at the redline.

basemies · 08-29-2002, 10:05 PM

my rev limiter is around 6500 or so, and i hit fuel cut just after 115 mph.

MyFirst240SX · 08-29-2002, 10:17 PM

its not normal, there is something wrong with my car.

S13Grl · 08-29-2002, 10:19 PM

ouch! that hurts! Did you shift okay?

Uhh I drive through the Burn-Out box.... You forgot another 2 reasons to drive thru the burn-out box.

1. Your on street tires and FWD... (have to have some form of Drag Radials for your tires to not cool down enough before the, Tree lights up)
2. Your run an AWD... (this is why I drive thru the box)

<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

But for the 1st timer out there, don't be discouraged on your times, your Reaction time is still better then mine and i'm running the same 60' time... but then again, It's been a while since I got a time slip. Might go do that this weekend.

Well the thing was....My s14 is an auto, and I had a 90% full tank of gas when I ran it.  I even had intake at the time.  I have exhuast now (n1 dual), and when I get my 5spd swap i'm getting a lightened flywheel too so I assume I shouldn't have too much of a problem running 15's.

boosteds14 · 08-30-2002, 10:04 AM

pretty good times. acceptable i think.

great reaction time. just need to lower those 60' and you 1320 will go down

gh6o6 · 08-30-2002, 07:29 PM

my auto s14 ran a 16.513 best run - half tank 94 and full interior
i weighed in at a hefty 3100 lbs

r/t     .741 (high)
60'     2.47
330    6.981
1/8     10.65
mph    67.08
1000   13.826
1/4     16.513

correct me if im wrong but doesnt this seem like exageration?

the only time i went to the strip my best was somewhere in the .500's and up. but i dont do much drag racing so i wouldnt know. anyone else got input on this?

fodive · 08-31-2002, 12:52 AM

.500 is a perfect reaction time, it cant go any lower than that, period.

true, anything under .500 is foul

MyFirst240sx .351 or watever is BS..unless he was doing Time Trials becuz in time trails it doesnt matter only im eliminations it matters that anything under .500 is foul

PSI240SX · 08-31-2002, 06:40 AM

.351 is not bullshit, I ran a .380 last night. It is a foul (red light) but it's not impossible to get that time. I am sure he was in time trials becuase becuase who would go pay money to race an 18 second car?

MyFirst240SX · 08-31-2002, 08:49 AM

well i don't know what to tell ya......my time slip says .351. my freind got a .051.
it was grudge matches, so it was just people testing there cars and bets and stuff.

Potatoskins02 · 08-31-2002, 10:00 AM

some tracks show reaction times that are over .500 so basically if you had a reaction time of .351 it's really a .851.

MyFirst240SX · 08-31-2002, 05:39 PM

why would it do that?
