Fastest Stock Twins thread

[TRex]

20B intially thought you were having a dig and my usual self had keyboard buring up, but now deleted(edited)

 Won\'t go into the FC-FD debate as that doesn\'t concern me... if I want an FD I\'d get one tomorrow morning!  And thats not idle talk.

 As stated the thread is \'fastest stock twins\'... I have exactly the same gear that these chaps run, 13B engine with stock twins(hitachi) included.
 
 
 Stop the excuses and small talk chaps, the time to beat is 11.86 @ 116.  :bandit

True ... Fastest stock twins
As i said before i aint fussed really so how is 11.86 from a custom built FC valid. The car is lighter for a start and the turbos far from stock for that year or model. Buy an FD and hit the same time if it is a mere pocket money. I dont see no excuses here.......

TREX i know you you are a nice guy really  :guinness

If you go back to the orignal thread it did start as a FD competition...but I suppose having a target to beat isnt a bad thing Although if there were more than pride at stake think I would have an objection

NP and no dig, I would buy an FC if I came across one that was good enough - but its a sad fact that most of them are not in very good nick these days - and I have enough projects on the go already without adding an FC to the list :rolleyes:

I still cant really see how another cars (FD\'s) engine and turbos can be referred to as stock (on an FC), regardless of their similarities though...

Who started this all? :flamed :rollin

Let\'s talk it all in the manner intended any way. Where did you run you 11 Trex?

R.

[chrisBoid]

Ah okay, firstly, I didn\'t know the FC didn\'t come in a twin turbo configuration, that\'s why I did\'t mind adding it and secondly, an FC/FD hybrid isn\'t in the spirit of the competition.

So shall I add a rule to make it clear this is for FD\'s only?

At least that is a plus point for being at the bottom of the table, then!!  :chat  :chat

LOL LOL... Not in my case they dont :3gears-lh

[bnaellis]

How about we start another thread for those of us from a different ethnic background? I think would make me the fastest brother in town :rollin
Whatever next? 1st gen owners sticking comso 3 rotor engines in their cars wanting recognition for a stock twin
Give me a bad rep if your want just having an early Sunday morning fun.

[TRex]

Brian don\'t get me started on you..


 Anyway chaps I\'m just playing with you lot.  

 Take care and good luck with those times...

[andrewrx7]

From the sounds of things I\'ll expect to be updating this table after Sunday 4th.

Don\'t disappoint me!

Any updates after the weekend?

[Warthog]

Only just now found the time to post. Have been working 17+ hours a day since last Tuesday on a Murder case. ( except Saturday the 3rd Sept as I had pre-paid for the day at Santapod and they didn\'t want to pay me compensation for having to miss it, to work )We have now got him charged and remanded.
Well I did one run on low boost and all seemed fine except I missed 3rd. Next run on full boost I did the same but still ran a 13.2. The next run things fell into place and I ran the below;

            0-60ft  2.0
            330ft    5.5
            1/8      8.4 @ 88.56mph
            1000\'    10.76
            1/4      12.83 @ 112.73
 
 Then after a long wait due to a drag car fire and injury to driver, I managed to go for another run. The launch felt very good as well sticky, 1st into 2nd and 2nd into 3rd  :3gears-lh then loss of power. Looked in the rear view mirror and I was a JETCAR well thats what it looked like with all the water and oil spewing out of the exhaust along with the internal parts of the twin turbos, at that point I just started laughing. :yes
Looked very spectacular by all accounts. Did anyone get any pics?  :guinness
Then 3rd into 4th as I had seen what had happened to the driver of the drag car that caught on fire and I was not going to wait for the fire truck so I drove off the track to them. One small fire later around the t/t\'s that was oil dripping onto them and it was onto the RE:works trailer and off the pod.
So all in all an eventfull day. Got things right, improved my times and got my head in gear   .
  The fact the t/t\'s gave up was just one of those things. They had done over 45000 miles including 3 years of me melting them, the last 6 months running up to 1.3 bar of boost through them. It was not a matter of if they would go it was just a matter of when. I knew they would go on the strip at some time whilst giving them W.O.T. and they did.
Now all I need to do is find another pair that can last me the year out and get back on the road/strip.
I do not have a set of road tyres for the strip so I don\'t do burn out\'s yet. So my times are with cold low profile street tyres. I will sort out linelock and a set of 18" rims with some street legal tyres that I can rip to bits in burn ups and with some replacement twins that have not been put through the type of abuse I give turbos then should see my times into low 12\'s/high 11\'s by the end of the year.
Well thats the update. :3gears-lh

Updated, I bet we were all wondering how much abuse your twins could take!  I\'m amazed they even took 1.3 bar!  I was beginning to think they were made from kryptonite or unobtanium or something

Looking forward to seeing you nail that perfect run.  When are you expecting to be running again?

P.S.  I still owe you for the tool kit - not sure it will stretch to my turbo pack though!

[davefrith]

Does frying your turbos damage the engine internals if all the crap gets chucked through it?
