That’s because Skylines are boats…with anchors overboard
And besides, that EARL’S relocation kit I gave Alex adds like 25WHP.

lol i dont drive a skyline clown.
:roll:
GT
^ cough
Ahem!
ORLY?
see
CLEARLY it’s a skyline…with dinner plates
yes, clearly that is a skyline.
… clearly!
Hahahaha you are all jokers
benson, still think your car is faster than D’s? 
i dont think you will be able to cut .5 sec out of your time with 4 psi on a t25 without slicks and a full tune.
past 12 psi the t25 does nothing
i belive the t25 record is 12.3 on drag radials last time i checked
That’s great. Way to encourage someone. Just so you know, I used to own an Integra type R, and when I put slicks on it, i ran 12.0 seconds flat. Stock. All I had was a VAFC to adjust my VTEC.
I’m pretty sure the t25 can’t go over 16 psi, after 16 psi they are no longer efficient so my mechanic tells me. I dont think injectors need to be upgraded either, i think the duty cycle is at around 80% when running that much boost.
Anyway the result when running 14-16 psi should be low 13’s with a solid r/t.
you’re whack. at 9.5 psi his duty is over 80%

You cant be serious… Your mechanic is a moron…
Birhou53 - What Scott says is true, it’s not impossible to run a 12 but just so everyone knows:
Cranking up the boost is not the solution to every problem with a car in regards to going faster
I don’t see where anyone implied that they think the only solution is to crank up the boost.
Not in this thread at least, that would be pretty ignorant for someone to say that.
However since we’re talking about drag at the moment, there isn’t any negative effects to having more power – only positive.
If you have too much power for launches or anything you can throttle it with your foot… it’s up to the drive to decide how much power he’s able to use. You can’t tell me that Dustin’s times would have been the same or worse if he was running 12psi.
Dustin cut a 2.233 60’ time…which quite frankly is horrible for a RWD car.
With a decent tire he could cut a better short time and his car WOULD be in the 12’s with its current power.
ps - D - this is not a cut against you…my 60’s are no better.
The reason a T25 looses its “efficiency” is because the Exhaust cannot keep up to the Compressor… meaning the Internal Gate cannot purge the cylinders of exhaust quick enough, so the exhaust then gets stuck in the Compressor for another revolution (which causes it to heat up) so its not exactly that the T25 itself isnt efficent past a certian PSI its the simple fact that the Exhaust side is not able to keep up once you raise the Boost to high
Switch to an Ext Gate and the problem is mostly solved.
Herman @ Cherry Turbo’s can modify the Exhaust “port it out” and enlarge the wastegate flapper so that the Turbo does become efficent at a higher PSI and higher RPM but the money spent on that would be better off on a bigger Turbo (unless of course your happy with the T25)
Dustin of all people knows that since this was his first time to the strip EVER he has a lot of learning to do. I doubt he would even consider taking what you said as a cut against him.
Dan I can’t wait to see where you are with your new wheels and tires… I’m excited 
As a side note, Dustin and I were wondering about subframe collars. He likes the comfort of the squishy bushigns but at the same time wants to get rid of his wheelhop at the track.
I suggested getting some collars but I’m not 100% that they would help to get rid of the wheelhop - could someone (de)confirm that for me? This would be a good solution since they’re easy to put in and take out.
I have the same issue. I like to ride comfort but WILL be getting slotted collars before my next track visit.
Wheel hop is one of the greatest contributors to damage at the strip and collars will definately help keep the rear of the car solid.
Turbo chargers become inefficient due to the fact they have a fixed compressor and turbine , as the engine produces more power (turbos are a positive feedback device) the turbo spins faster to make that increased power and so on and so on… that is all fine and well until you reach a point that the compressor that has a fixed design reaches a speed that the blades basically can no longer move the air charge efficiantly and “whip” the air charge which causes heat…in some cases with small turbos extreme heat.
its a fact of all compressors…that you cant get around very easily…thats why if you want to make real power… you have to have a REAL turbo that is intended to move alot of air…at a low temp
FYI… SON used to have Tech sessions when Philip, me and David used to run this club, we covered all of these types of things in detail…
I would be more than willing to host another such Tech day, at ORF, with a turbo charging class/technical session… with the exacy details of how and why turbos work… ect…
Marky… everytime you crack me up!
Dan, what is a good 60’ for a RWD? What should I be shooting for?
And yea… I think I might have to try subframe collars… I ripped my exhaust hanger but that seems to be the only damage from the wheel hop.
A tech day eh… That would be awesome.
